fix(vue-query): throw falsy errors from useMutation to the error boundary

[S-jooyoung]

🎯 Changes

vue-query counterpart of #11311 (react-query) / #11312 (preact-query), following #11305.

Summary

The useMutation error watcher in vue-query guards throwOnError with the truthiness of the error value:

watch(() => state.error, (error) => {
  if (error && shouldThrowError(options.value.throwOnError, [error as TError])) {
    throw error
  }
})

A mutation that rejects with a falsy value (e.g. Promise.reject(undefined)) therefore never evaluates throwOnError and is never propagated, even with throwOnError: true.

Changes

• packages/vue-query/src/useMutation.ts: watch state.isError together with state.error, and gate on isError instead of the truthiness of error, so throwOnError is evaluated for every failed mutation. Watching isError too matters for a null rejection, which leaves state.error at its initial null and would otherwise never trigger the watcher.
• packages/vue-query/src/__tests__/useMutation.test.ts: regression tests — a mutation rejecting with undefined or null must have throwOnError evaluated once with that value.
• changeset (@tanstack/vue-query patch).

Test plan

• Both new tests fail on main (expected "vi.fn()" to be called 1 times, but got 0 times) and pass with the fix.
• pnpm nx run @tanstack/vue-query:test:lib — 318 passed, test:eslint, test:types, prettier.

✅ Checklist

• I have followed the steps in the Contributing guide.
• I have tested code changes locally with pnpm run test:pr, or these tests do not apply to this pull request.
• I fully understand the code in this pull request, including any code generated with AI assistance.

🚀 Release Impact

• This change affects published code, and I have generated a changeset.
• This change is docs/CI/dev-only (no release).

Summary by CodeRabbit

• Bug Fixes

  • Fixed useMutation so errors with falsy values, such as null or undefined, are correctly recognized and can be propagated to the error boundary.
  • Preserved accurate mutation error-state handling regardless of the error value.
  • Ensured error handling responds consistently when mutation error status changes, including cases where the error value itself is falsy.

• Tests

  • Added regression coverage for mutations that reject with null or undefined.

📝 Walkthrough

Walkthrough

useMutation now handles rejected mutations with falsy errors, including undefined and null, by checking the observer error state. Regression tests cover both values, and a patch changeset documents the fix.

Changes

Vue mutation error handling

Layer / File(s)	Summary
Gate error throwing on mutation state packages/vue-query/src/useMutation.ts, packages/vue-query/src/__tests__/useMutation.test.ts, .changeset/vue-mutation-falsy-error.md	The error watcher now checks state.isError before evaluating throwOnError. Regression tests cover undefined and null rejection values. The changeset declares a patch release.

Estimated code review effort: 2 (Simple) | ~10 minutes

Merge Risk: ⚪ Minimal · up to f8b63

Vue useMutation now evaluates throwOnError for null and undefined mutation rejections, allowing configured error-boundary behavior to apply consistently. The targeted implementation and regression coverage indicate the change is ready to merge.
