Fixed Issues

$ #52248
PROPOSAL: #52248 (comment)

Tests

1. Create a distance expense
2. Open the request details page
3. Open Testing preferences and turn on "Force offline" and "Simulate failing network requests"
4. Press on distance menu and change the waypoints by either adding a waypoint or dragging and reshuffling the waypoints
5. Click Save button
6. Open Testing preferences and turn off "Force offline"
7. Go to the request details page
8. Verify that after a while, it shows "Unexpected error editing this expense" and the waypoints are reverted to the previous value
9. Verify that there is a dismissable error shown below the map

• Verify that no errors appear in the JS console

Offline tests

Same as above

QA Steps

1. Workspace has at least two distance rates.
2. Go to workspace chat.
3. Submit a distance expense with distance rate A.
4. Go to workspace settings > Distance rates.
5. Delete distance rate A (from Step 3).
6. Go to workspace chat.
7. Go to transaction thread of the distance expense.
8. Click Distance.
9. Edit the distance and save it.
10. Dismiss the error "The selected rate has been deleted"
11. Verify that the distance receipt and distance field has reverted to the previous value.

[x] Verify that no errors appear in the JS console

  • I added steps to cover failure scenarios (i.e. verify an input displays the correct error message if the entered data is not correct)
  • I turned off my network connection and tested it while offline to ensure it matches the expected behavior (i.e. verify the default avatar icon is displayed if app is offline)
  • I tested this PR with a High Traffic account against the staging or production API to ensure there are no regressions (e.g. long loading states that impact usability).

  • Android: Native
  • Android: mWeb Chrome
  • iOS: Native
  • iOS: mWeb Safari
  • MacOS: Chrome / Safari
  • MacOS: Desktop
• I verified there are no console errors (if there's a console error not related to the PR, report it or open an issue for it to be fixed)
• I followed proper code patterns (see Reviewing the code)
  • I verified that any callback methods that were added or modified are named for what the method does and never what callback they handle (i.e. toggleReport and not onIconClick)
  • I verified that the left part of a conditional rendering a React component is a boolean and NOT a string, e.g. myBool && <MyComponent />.

    • If any non-english text was added/modified, I verified the translation was requested/reviewed in #expensify-open-source and it was approved by an internal Expensify engineer. Link to Slack message:
  • I verified all numbers, amounts, dates and phone numbers shown in the product are using the localization methods
  • I verified any copy / text that was added to the app is grammatically correct in English. It adheres to proper capitalization guidelines (note: only the first word of header/labels should be capitalized), and is approved by marketing by adding the Waiting for Copy label for a copy review on the original GH to get the correct copy.
  • I verified proper file naming conventions were followed for any new files or renamed files. All non-platform specific files are named after what they export and are not named "index.js". All platform-specific files are named for the platform the code supports as outlined in the README.

• I verified all code is DRY (the PR doesn't include any logic written more than once, with the exception of tests)
• I verified any variables that can be defined as constants (ie. in CONST.js or at the top of the file that uses the constant) are defined as such
• I verified that if a function's arguments changed that all usages have also been updated correctly
• If any new file was added I verified that:
  • The file has a description of what it does and/or why is needed at the top of the file if the code is not self explanatory
• If a new CSS style is added I verified that:
  • A similar style doesn't already exist
  • The style can't be created with an existing StyleUtils function (i.e. StyleUtils.getBackgroundAndBorderStyle(themeColors.componentBG))
• If the PR modifies code that runs when editing or sending messages, I tested and verified there is no unexpected behavior for all supported markdown - URLs, single line code, code blocks, quotes, headings, bold, strikethrough, and italic.
• If the PR modifies a generic component, I tested and verified that those changes do not break usages of that component in the rest of the App (i.e. if a shared library or component like Avatar is modified, I verified that Avatar is working as expected in all cases)
• If the PR modifies a component related to any of the existing Storybook stories, I tested and verified all stories for that component are still working as expected.
• If the PR modifies a component or page that can be accessed by a direct deeplink, I verified that the code functions as expected when the deeplink is used - from a logged in and logged out account.
• If the PR modifies the form input styles:
  • I verified that all the inputs inside a form are aligned with each other.
  • I added Design label so the design team can review the changes.
• If a new page is added, I verified it's using the ScrollView component to make it scrollable when more elements are added to the page.

BTW @hoangzinh simulate failing networks is not reliable. It makes the request fail immediately and the values will be reverted and error displayed but after a while it sends the request and the change will be pushed from the BE.
You can easily test by passing wrong params here

App/src/libs/actions/IOU.ts

Line 3229 in 10a75ac

API.write(WRITE_COMMANDS.UPDATE_MONEY_REQUEST_DISTANCE, params, onyxData);

but I am more concerned for QA because they can't alter the code so if you have a better QA testing steps please forward it 👍
And also what do you think about showing the pending map view when there is waypoints error? Now even on error we are showing the map if the coordinates are fetched and available from the BE.

[hoangzinh]

what do you think about showing the pending map view when there is waypoints error

Sorry for leaving for a while. @FitseTLT, I recall when there is waypoints error, we revert backs to previous waypoints. It makes sense to keep the previous map, doesn't it?

Sorry for leaving for a while. @FitseTLT, I recall when there is waypoints error, we revert backs to previous waypoints. It makes sense to keep the previous map, doesn't it?

We currently have two ways to show the map:

1. Map image file returned from BE
2. Via Mapbox map component using the route.coordinates and we show it when we have pending waypoints or there are errors
   

   App/src/components/ReportActionItem/ReportActionItemImage.tsx

   Line 88 in b818d54

   const showMapAsImage = isDistanceRequest && (hasErrors || hasPendingWaypoints);

   
   so now in our case the error happened due to failing requests and when you go back online and there are no coordinates it will show the pending map view and when you open the distance page it automatically fetches the coordinates and populates the transaction so the map will appear in money request view. WDYT about this behaviour of the map appearing and disappearing like in the video

[hoangzinh]

I see @FitseTLT. At first glance, I think we should avoid it. But let me take a look deeper

[hoangzinh]

It seems the current behavior in Prod. Hmm, I think we can leave it as it is because it can be an expected behavior.

Looks good @FitseTLT. I will try to complete checklist today

[hoangzinh]

BTW @hoangzinh simulate failing networks is not reliable. It makes the request fail immediately and the values will be reverted and error displayed but after a while it sends the request and the change will be pushed from the BE.

@FitseTLT, turn on both "Force offline" and "Simulate failing network requests" work to me. Wdyt if the testing steps here is:

1. Create a distance expense
2. Open the request details page
3. Open Testing preferences and turn on "Force offline" and "Simulate failing network requests"
4. Press on distance menu and change the waypoints by either adding a waypoint or dragging and reshuffling the waypoints
5. Click Save button
6. Open Testing preferences and turn off "Force offline"
7. Go to the request details page
8. Verify that after a while, it shows "Unexpected error editing this expense" and the waypoints are reverted to the previous value
9. Verify that there is a dismissable error shown below the map

@hoangzinh The problem is after the data is reverted, error shown and so on, a bit later you will see the changes applied (even after clearing cache to prove that the BE request was really executed) by the way I have seen that our simulate failing network has the same problem in other requests too. So I am only worried that the QA would interpret this as the PR is failing.

[hoangzinh]

Hi @FitseTLT do you have any recordings/screenshots to illustrate what you mean here? I tried to reproduce it but I couldn't.

Hi @FitseTLT do you have any recordings/screenshots to illustrate what you mean here? I tried to reproduce it but I couldn't.

Here it is @hoangzinh the request gets sent after the error occurred and values reverted when I turn off the simulate option
2024-12-10 16-20-29.mp4.zip
But because the request is sent after turning off the simulate failing ntwk option we can be good to go 👍

[hoangzinh]

we can be good to go 👍

@FitseTLT do you mean we can use those steps for QA steps?

[FitseTLT]

@FitseTLT do you mean we can use those steps for QA steps?

Yeah I think we shouldn't worry too much after all it not related with the current PR 👍

[hoangzinh]

Can you update it into QA steps? So they can test this PR on staging

[FitseTLT]

@hoangzinh Updated 👍

[FitseTLT]

@hoangzinh I think I have got better steps in #54023 ? Wouldn't it be better for QA steps. WDYT

[hoangzinh]

Looks good to me.

Yep added it to the QA steps @pecanoro You can proceed with the review 👍
