Tracker comp.firstRun question

1

My last days experience is that code inside !computation.firstRun clause never run.

Tracker.autorun((computation) => {
if(!computation.firstRun){
    console.log(reactiveVar);
    console.log('I will never get here');
}
});

Could be tracker assumes the code is empty on first run so cancels computation at all (?)

On the first run of your autorun, your reactiveVar is not accessed, so the the dependency is never established, meaning the autorun never re-runs. Change your code so reactiveVar is accessed before the test:

Tracker.autorun(computation => {
  const x = reactiveVar.get(); // establishes dependency.
  if (!computation.firstRun) {
    console.log(x);
  }
});

Thank you for clarifying. It confirms my findings. Sad it’s not stated in the documentation of the firstRun.
