Bug: reenter in sibling states #4818

Closed Jfsslemos closed 2 months ago

Jfsslemos commented 6 months ago

XState version

XState version 5

Description

Reenter attribute doesn't work on sibiling states

Expected result

[...] states:{ state1:{ entry: console.log(''state1") on:{ '':{target: 'state2' reenter: true}, }, }, state2:{ entry: console.log(''state2") on:{ '':{target: 'state1' reenter: true}, }, }, } [...]

output: state1 state2 state1 state2 state1 state2 [...]

Actual result

output: state1 state2 and stops here, doesn't reenter in states that are not parent-child

Reproduction

i dont really know how to make those options of reproduction

Additional context

No response

Reentry does not apply here since you are not reentering the same (or ancestor) state.

But how could I achieve this functionality? Just to be clear, i have no parente-child state, only sibiling states. And I want transition many times to the same state during the execution in a way that every time the state execute it's entry function

Closing this as invalid – if you can explain your use-case a bit more, I can help you figure out a better solution. However, reentering is not related to sibling states.
