Can't update react state, even component is not unmounted - reactjs

Question

Description
I have component which shows data that get from server and display it on the table using the state, tableData and it must be set when Redux action is dispatched.
I've use action listener library which uses Redux middleware which consisting of 63 lines of code. redux-listeners-qkreltms.
For example when I register a function on analysisListIsReady({}).type which is ANALYSISLIST_IS_READY then when the action is dispatched, the function is called.
Issue
The issue is that react throws sometimes the error: Can't update react state... for setTableData so response data is ignored to be set. I want to figure it out when it happens.
I've assumed that it's because of unmounting of component, so I printed some logs, but none of logs are printed and also ComponentA is not disappeared.
It's not throing any error when I delete getAnalysisJsonPathApi and getResource, so I tried to reporuduce it, but failed... link
It's not throing any error when I delete listenMiddleware.addListener see: #2
#1
// ComponentA
const [tableData, setTableData] = useState([])
useEffect(() => {
return () => {
console.log("unmounted1")
}}, [])
useEffect(() => {
listenMiddleware.addListener(analysisListIsReady({}).type, (_) => {
try {
getAnalysisJsonPathApi().then((res) => {
//...
getResource(volumeUrl)
.then((data: any) => {
// ...
setTableData(data)
})
})
} catch (error) {
warn(error.message)
}
})
return () => {
console.log("unmounted2")
}
}, [])
export const getAnalysisJsonPathApi = () => {
return api
.post('/segment/volume')
.then(({ data }) => data)
export const getResource = async (src: string, isImage?: boolean): Promise<ArrayBuffer> =>
api
.get(src)
.then(({ data }) => data)
#2
// ComponentA
const [tableData, setTableData] = useState([])
useEffect(() => {
return () => {
console.log("unmounted1")
}}, [])
useEffect(() => {
if (steps.step2a) {
try {
getAnalysisJsonPathApi().then((res) => {
//...
getResource(volumeUrl)
.then((data: any) => {
// ...
setTableData(data)
})
})
} catch (error) {
warn(error.message)
}
}
return () => {
console.log("unmounted2")
}
}, [steps.step2a])

Answer 1

Well, its as you said:
because of unmounting of component
In your UseEffect() function, you need to check if the componenet is mounted or not, in other words, you need to do the componentDidMount & componentDidUpdate (if needed) logics:
const mounted = useRef();
useEffect(() => {
if (!mounted.current) {
// do componentDidMount logic
console.log('componentDidMount');
mounted.current = true;
} else {
// do componentDidUpdate logic
console.log('componentDidUpdate');
}
});

i didn't go to your question code detail, but my hint might help you, usually this error happens in fetchData function,
suppose you have a fetchData function like below:
fetchData(){
...
let call = await service.getData();
...
--->setState(newItems)//Here
}
so when api call end and state want to be updated, if component been unmounted, there is no state to be set,
you can use a bool variable and set it false when component will unmount:
let stillActive= true;
fetchData(){
active = true;
...
let call = await service.getData();
...
if(stillActive)
setState(newItems)//Here
}
}
componentWillUnmount(){
active = false;
}

I've found out it's because of redux-listeners-qkreltms, Redux middleware.
It keeps function when component is mounted into listener, but never changes its functions even component is unmounted.
middleware.addListener = (type, listener) => {
for (let i = 0; i < listeners.length; i += 1) {
if (listeners[i].type === type) {
return;
}
}
listeners.push(createListener(type, listener));
};
