Research direction

Start by reproducing the transaction sequence with two d/listen! listeners and compare each listener's (:tx-data tx-report) output. The issue names no files or tests, so first determine the intended notification ordering and identify the listener or transaction-notification entry point involved. Done means the ordering behavior is understood and covered by a regression test.

Written by the indexing model from the issue text.

Description

I’m seeing transactions come in to my d/listen! listener in the wrong order when another listener commits a transaction. Here’s the output from both listeners printing (:tx-data tx-report)

"listener 1" [#datascript/Datom [0 :modal/open :new-outing t true]]
;; inside listener 1 - transacts [[:db/add 0 :modal/open :sign-up]]
"listener 1" [#datascript/Datom [0 :modal/open :new-outing t false] #datascript/Datom [0 :modal/open :sign-up t true]]
"listener 2" [#datascript/Datom [0 :modal/open :new-outing t false] #datascript/Datom [0 :modal/open :sign-up t true]]
"listener 2" [#datascript/Datom [0 :modal/open :new-outing t true]]
