Changes

Fixes #2279. handleSubmit() no longer calls onSubmit again while a submission is still in progress.

Since #2120, the !canSubmit early return in _handleSubmit (packages/form-core/src/FormApi.ts) applies only when submissionAttempts <= 1. canSubmit is also false while isSubmitting is true, so each handleSubmit() call during a pending submission skipped the early return and called onSubmit again.

The early return now also applies while this.state.isSubmitting is true. Those calls invoke onSubmitInvalid and return, as they did before #2120. An idle, invalid form on attempt > 1 still re-runs validateAllFields('submit') to clear stale field errors, so the #2120 behavior is unchanged.

One judgement call: calling onSubmitInvalid for the in-flight case restores the pre-#2120 behavior. Returning silently is the alternative, since the form is busy, not invalid. That is a one-line change if you prefer it.

The new test in packages/form-core/tests/FormApi.spec.ts calls handleSubmit() three times while onSubmit is pending. Without the fix onSubmit runs 3 times and the test fails; with the fix it runs once.

FormGroupApi._handleSubmit never had an in-flight guard, so it is not part of this regression and is not changed.

Summary by CodeRabbit

  • Bug Fixes
    • Prevented concurrent onSubmit calls while a form submission is in progress. Invalid submission attempts still trigger validation handling.

…progress

The re-submission guard skipped the canSubmit early return whenever
submissionAttempts exceeded 1. canSubmit is also false while isSubmitting
is true, so every handleSubmit call during a pending submission fell
through to onSubmit and ran it concurrently.

Restore the early return while a submission is in progress so subsequent
calls invoke onSubmitInvalid and return, matching the behavior before
the re-submission re-validation path was added. Re-submission of an
invalid, idle form still re-runs field validators to clear stale errors.

FormApi._handleSubmit returns early when a submission is already in progress. The regression test expects one onSubmit call and two onSubmitInvalid calls across three attempts. The changeset declares a patch release.

The fix blocks duplicate submissions in the default configuration. Forms using canSubmitWhenInvalid can still run onSubmit several times while a submission is pending. Move the in-progress check before the canSubmit branch before merging.

Check isSubmitting independently of canSubmit.

When canSubmitWhenInvalid is true, canSubmit remains true during a pending submission. A second handleSubmit() call therefore skips this guard and can invoke onSubmit concurrently. The devtools submission override also bypasses the guard. Check isSubmitting before the canSubmit branch, then preserve the existing revalidation behavior for idle invalid forms. Add a regression case with canSubmitWhenInvalid: true.
