Reassigning an observable throws TypeError: $$unsubscribe_observableName is not a function

[bvl12]

When using rxjs' observables, they cannot be reassigned without throwing TypeError: $$unsubscribe_observableName is not a function. A minimal example can me found here: https://github.com/bvl12/sapper-observable-error

I know it is preferable to assign observables as constants, but my use case involves getting data from a database, which is not available until onMount and using autosubscriptions with it. I need to initialize the variable that will hold the observable with the data as another observable to prevent svelte from throwing me observableName is not a store with a 'subscribe' method

If you're talking about this, then dynamic imports return a promise resolving to the module, not the module itself. observableCreator.myObservable is going to be undefined. Use (await import('../observableCreator.js')).default.

That import has actually been working fine for me (and showing what I expected when I print them). The issue I am having is that trying to overwrite an rxjs observable throws TypeError: $$unsubscribe_observableName is not a function (as it is trying to overwrite the old one), which is making me think that svelte is having an issue unsubscribing at the end of the autosubscription's lifecycle.

closing because this isn't an issue with sapper, and the thread Conduitry linked above is more on-topic.
