Slack conversation:

Action Performed:

Click FAB > Request money > Manual
Split bill with two users
Click FAB > Request money > Scan
Create a split scan request with the same two users in Step 2
Note that the split scan creates two same groups, one with the history and another new group. The new group becomes skeleton placeholder after a while

Expected Result:

The split scan request will be created in the existing group chat which is created in Step 2

Actual Result:

The split scan request is created in both existing and new group chat. The request disappears and leaves skeleton placeholder after a while in the new group chat

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

unidev727 · 2024-01-05T20:40:45Z

Proposal

from: @unicorndev-727

Please re-state the problem that we are trying to solve in this issue.

Workspace - In Workspace, trying to add a number contact & selecting it, contact disappears

What is the root cause of that problem?

The root cause is that we are using randomly created reportId here.

App/src/pages/iou/request/step/IOURequestStepConfirmation.js

Line 220 in 7ae1ec7

    
           const existingSplitChatReportID = CONST.REGEX.NUMBER.test(reportID) ? reportID : '';

What changes do you think we should make in order to solve the problem?

We don't need to send reportId so that we can find reportId from getChatByParticipants here

App/src/pages/iou/request/step/IOURequestStepConfirmation.js

Lines 222 to 230 in 7ae1ec7

    
               selectedParticipants, 
        
               currentUserPersonalDetails.login, 
        
               currentUserPersonalDetails.accountID, 
        
               trimmedComment, 
        
               transaction.category, 
        
               transaction.tag, 
        
               receiptFile, 
        
               existingSplitChatReportID, 
        
           );

to

IOU.startSplitBill(
                    selectedParticipants,
                    currentUserPersonalDetails.login,
                    currentUserPersonalDetails.accountID,
                    trimmedComment,
                    transaction.category,
                    transaction.tag,
                    receiptFile
                );

App/src/libs/actions/IOU.js

Lines 1700 to 1702 in 7ae1ec7

    
           const existingSplitChatReport = 
        
               existingSplitChatReportID || participants[0].reportID 
        
                   ? allReports[`${ONYXKEYS.COLLECTION.REPORT}${existingSplitChatReportID || participants[0].reportID}`]

screen-capture.2.webm

What alternative solutions did you explore?

We can find existing reportId using getChatByParticipants in ReportUtils for further correctness in IOURequestStepConfirmation page.
const existingSplitChatReportID = ReportUtils.getChatByParticipants(_.map(selectedParticipants, (participant) => Number(participant.accountID))) ?? '';

bernhardoj · 2024-01-05T21:24:43Z

Proposal

Please re-state the problem that we are trying to solve in this issue.

Every time we create a new scan split bill, it will create the request on a new group chat.

What is the root cause of that problem?

If we create a scan split bill, it will call startSplitBill. In this function, we check if there is an existing group chat for the split bill, if it doesn't exist, we create a new one.

App/src/libs/actions/IOU.js

Lines 1700 to 1704 in 1752b97

    
           const existingSplitChatReport = 
        
               existingSplitChatReportID || participants[0].reportID 
        
                   ? allReports[`${ONYXKEYS.COLLECTION.REPORT}${existingSplitChatReportID || participants[0].reportID}`] 
        
                   : ReportUtils.getChatByParticipants(participantAccountIDs); 
        
           const splitChatReport = existingSplitChatReport || ReportUtils.buildOptimisticChatReport(participantAccountIDs);

The way we get the existing group chat is by checking either existingSplitChatReportID and participants[0]?.reportID (for policy expense chat). If it exists, we will get it from the report Onyx object. If not, we will get the report with getChatByParticipants.

However, after the big money request refactor, existingSplitChatReportID always exists because every time we open the money request page, we generate a new random report ID. So, we always trying to get the non-existing report because existingSplitChatReportID is not empty.

What changes do you think we should make in order to solve the problem?

Because existingSplitChatReportID always exists, we can update the condition to,

const existingSplitChatReport = allReports[`${ONYXKEYS.COLLECTION.REPORT}${existingSplitChatReportID}`] || allReports[`${ONYXKEYS.COLLECTION.REPORT}${participants[0]?.reportID}`] || ReportUtils.getChatByParticipants(participantAccountIDs);

What alternative solutions did you explore? (Optional)

The existingSplitChatReportID logic also exists on normal splitBill, but if we look at the splitBill calls, we pass report.reportID to the existingSplitChatReportID params, so we can do the same.

App/src/pages/iou/request/step/IOURequestStepConfirmation.js

Lines 237 to 248 in 0c351a4

    
           IOU.splitBill( 
        
               selectedParticipants, 
        
               currentUserPersonalDetails.login, 
        
               currentUserPersonalDetails.accountID, 
        
               transaction.amount, 
        
               trimmedComment, 
        
               transaction.currency, 
        
               transaction.merchant, 
        
               transaction.category, 
        
               transaction.tag, 
        
               report.reportID,
