Triggered auto assignment to Contributor-plus team member for initial proposal review - @jjcoffee (External)

[rojiphil]

Looks like a BE issue as the 1:1 Chat Report has not yet come to FE

[jjcoffee]

@rojiphil is partially correct, in the pusher event there are no reportActions for the 1:1 report. When you start searching for the 1:1 user, interestingly the chat pops up in the LHN! cc @NicMendonca - let's make this one internal!

[melvin-bot]

Current assignee @jjcoffee is eligible for the Internal assigner, not assigning anyone new.

Will look

[melvin-bot]

@NicMendonca, @jjcoffee, @MonilBhavsar Huh... This is 4 days overdue. Who can take care of this?

[MonilBhavsar]

I am still not able to reproduce. I also dry ran through the code and confirmed that we're sending chat report in Onyx updates. https://github.com/Expensify/Web-Expensify/blob/2cb1b34034c3e44c156376e4421b4534c19015c7/lib/ReportAPI.php#L4764
Not sure what I am missing here.

[NicMendonca]

Ok, lets close for now!

[MonilBhavsar]

Thanks!
I'm dealing with waves issue. I'll circle back

[NicMendonca]

@MonilBhavsar if this doesn't fall into a specific wave, then we can just close this for now, yeah?

[MonilBhavsar]

I'm pretty sure I'm missing some detail because Applause is able to reproduce and I am not.
I tried again and it worked as expected

The first unread is for Money Request
The second unread is for Group chat

Applause team, if you're consistently able to reproduce, could you please mention detailed steps. Seems like I'm missing something.

My steps are:

1. As a user A start a new group chat with user B and user C
2. Split bill in the group chat
3. As a user B logged into another device ensure they get both group chat and money request updates.
