useMutation update cache evict does not work with refetchQueries?

Help

I’m trying to immediately remove an item from a list when the mutation is called, rather than waiting for all data to be refetched, since that can take a few seconds.

This works:

  const [removeItem] = useMutation(REMOVE_ITEM, {
    update: (cache, { data }) => {
      cache.evict({ id: cache.identify(data.removedItem) });
      cache.gc();
    },
  });

But this does not:

  const [removeItem] = useMutation(REMOVE_ITEM, {
    update: (cache, { data }) => {
      cache.evict({ id: cache.identify(data.removedItem) });
      cache.gc();
    },
    refetchQueries: "active",
  });

Setting refetchQueries to any value, even [], will break the cache eviction, so the item is not removed from the list until all data is refetched.

Is this intentional?

Thanks
