bits-ui Popover doesn't open

[dylan1951]

Describe the bug

The Popover from bits-ui is not opening under certain weird conditions.

Edit: I have narrowed down the issue and made a REPL that has no bits-ui dependency to expose the svelte reactivity bug.

  --bits-floating-transform-origin: undefined undefined;
  --bits-floating-available-width: undefinedpx;
  --bits-floating-available-height: undefinedpx;
  --bits-floating-anchor-width: undefinedpx;
  --bits-floating-anchor-height: undefinedpx;

I guess bits-ui miscalculates something or uses outdated references.

It works when you navigate back to the page though, but not after refreshing the page which makes me think it's a svelte bug but idk

[7nik]

The popover's logic is spread across dozens of files + floating-ui repo. It's too complex for us to unwrap the logic.
Open an issue in bits-ui. If it's Svelte's bug, the authors will come here with a simpler reproduction.

I fixed it by adding this dependency to the $effect but my feeling is that there is a deeper svelte bug here related to the effect dependency chain. Sorry I don't know how to make a minimal repro :(

[EDIT: potentially] fixed by #17105 in Svelte 5.43.4

fixed by #17105 in Svelte 5.43.34

No it's not. This is OP's REPL on 5.43.4. It's still broken.

@vyconm I don't see difference - Content still doesn't appear.

Locally, in my private project, this has been fixed.

When I change the repl to: https://svelte.dev/playground/3029fe42f2fb4100bab1635964a4749f?version=5.43.4 , it seems to work again. Can someone confirm that svelte runs in async then?

In the original REPL, i don't really understand this line:

let foo = $derived(await open);

[sillvva]

If you await open, it breaks. I'm not sure why open is being awaited either. If you await anything else, it works. However, awaiting open did work in 5.42.0 and breaks in 5.43.0.

@vyconm One thing to note though, is that your example (awaiting a promise) works in 5.43.0 - 5.43.3 as well.

@sillvva could be that the playground is not detecting aync svelte?

another point might be the use of bind: to control the open state. There are other issues related to bind: and aync svelte here. My Private repo is always using the built-in trigger.

see this modified repl bugging out now that we use open to control state:

this might be the current "real" issue: #17090
