Variable initialized in `onMount` becomes `undefined`

let positionMenu: () => void;

onMount(() => {
  positionMenu = getPositionMenuFun({ inputElement, styles });
  console.log('positionMenu', positionMenu); // always outputs the function
});

createEffect(() => {
  // ...
  positionMenu(); // error: in one scenario `positionMenu` is undefined
});

let positionMenu: () => void;

onMount(() => {
  positionMenu = getPositionMenuFun({ inputElement, styles });
  console.log('positionMenu', positionMenu); // always outputs the function
});

createEffect(() => {
  // ...
  positionMenu(); // error: in one scenario `positionMenu` is undefined
});

I initialize a variable returning a function in the

onMount

onMount

callback, then call it in some effect. In one scenario

positionMenu

positionMenu

will be

undefined

undefined

. It is nowhere else in the code (only these occurrences of "positionMenu" as shown above).

I noticed it's due to a clean up but I do not understand how the variable loses its value.
