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 submission attempts from invoking the submit handler while a previous submission is still in progress. Additional invalid attempts continue to follow validation handling, including triggering invalid-submission callbacks where applicable. This behavior is consistent whether submissions are restricted to valid forms or configured to proceed when the form is invalid.

…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.
