Description

Description

The following code does not run as expected

const hf = HyperFormula.buildEmpty({
  licenseKey: "gpl-v3"
});

// Add a new sheet and get its id.
const table1 = hf.addSheet("table1");

hf.setCellContents(
  {
    row: 0,
    col: 0,
    sheet: hf.getSheetId(table1)
  },
  [[1,2],['=ARRAYFORMULA(A1:B1 > 1)', 1]]
);

// When set null at B2 does not recompute formula cell
hf.setCellContents(
  {
    row: 1,
    col: 1,
    sheet: hf.getSheetId(table1)
  },
  [[null]]
);

Expected behavior is that A2 recaculate when set null at B2

Research direction

Start by running the provided HyperFormula.buildEmpty and setCellContents reproduction in the linked CodeSandbox. Trace how ARRAYFORMULA dependencies are updated when B2 is set to null, and verify that A2 recalculates and clears the #SPILL error. Done means the demonstrated change produces the expected result.
