@isabelastisser I haven't added the External label as I wasn't 100% sure about this issue. Please take a look and add the label if you agree it's a bug and can be handled by external contributors.

[izarutskaya]

We think this issue might be related to the #collect project.

Proposal

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

Quick action - Group chat name and avatar does not update unless the page is refreshed

What is the root cause of that problem?

The main problem with issue is that we can' get actual ActionReport because we use useMemo
As a result, we are unable to update the data

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

To fix this issue we can refactor this component and use allReports directly to always have actual information from report

const quickActionReport: OnyxEntry<OnyxTypes.Report> = useMemo(
    () => (quickAction ? allReports?.[`${ONYXKEYS.COLLECTION.REPORT}${quickAction.chatReportID}`] : null),
    [allReports, quickAction],
);

App/src/pages/home/sidebar/SidebarScreen/FloatingActionButtonAndPopover.tsx

Line 150 in bec1c8e

const quickActionReport: OnyxEntry<OnyxTypes.Report> = useMemo(() => (quickAction ? ReportUtils.getReport(quickAction.chatReportID) : null), [quickAction]);

For optimisation we can use selector just like we do for allPolicies on this screen

App/src/pages/home/sidebar/SidebarScreen/FloatingActionButtonAndPopover.tsx

Lines 73 to 81 in bec1c8e

	const policySelector = (policy: OnyxEntry<OnyxTypes.Policy>): PolicySelector =>
	(policy && {
	type: policy.type,
	role: policy.role,
	isPolicyExpenseChatEnabled: policy.isPolicyExpenseChatEnabled,
	pendingAction: policy.pendingAction,
	avatar: policy.avatar,
	name: policy.name,
	}) as PolicySelector;

What alternative solutions did you explore? (Optional)

As alternative we don't have to use useMemo

[isabelastisser]

@madmax330, can you please provide an update? Thanks!

[marcaaron]

We can remove the blocker here. This issue is very minor and also related to a new feature not a regression.

[marcaaron]

@madmax330 if you want to pass this to me I can takeover as it seems related to Group Chats.

[bernhardoj]

Proposal

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

The group chat name (in the tooltip) and avatar in QAB don't update dynamically and need to refresh the app.

What is the root cause of that problem?

The avatar and group name (in the tooltip) depend on the quick action report data.

App/src/pages/home/sidebar/SidebarScreen/FloatingActionButtonAndPopover.tsx

Lines 154 to 162 in 8616678

	const quickActionAvatars = useMemo(() => {
	if (quickActionReport) {
	const avatars = ReportUtils.getIcons(quickActionReport, personalDetails);
	return avatars.length <= 1 || ReportUtils.isPolicyExpenseChat(quickActionReport) ? avatars : avatars.filter((avatar) => avatar.id !== session?.accountID);
	}
	return [];
	// Policy is needed as a dependency in order to update the shortcut details when the workspace changes
	// eslint-disable-next-line react-hooks/exhaustive-deps
	}, [personalDetails, session?.accountID, quickActionReport, quickActionPolicy]);

For the quick action report, we get the report ID from quickAction and use ReportUtils.getReport.

App/src/pages/home/sidebar/SidebarScreen/FloatingActionButtonAndPopover.tsx

Line 150 in 8616678

const quickActionReport: OnyxEntry<OnyxTypes.Report> = useMemo(() => (quickAction ? ReportUtils.getReport(quickAction.chatReportID) : null), [quickAction]);

The useMemo only depends on quickAction, so when we do an update to the group report, the value won't change.

The reason the group chat name is updated below the quick action title is, when the FAB component re-renders, it will recalculate the ReportUtils.getReportName by passing the outdated quickActionReport

App/src/pages/home/sidebar/SidebarScreen/FloatingActionButtonAndPopover.tsx

Line 375 in 8616678

description: !isEmptyObject(quickActionReport) ? ReportUtils.getReportName(quickActionReport) : '',

Even though the report passed to getReportName is outdated, the way we get the group chat name is by using the group chat report ID,

App/src/libs/ReportUtils.ts

Lines 2988 to 2990 in 8616678

	if (isGroupChat(report)) {
	return getGroupChatName(undefined, true, report?.reportID) ?? '';
	}

and then get the report object from the allReports variable as shown below that is coming from Onyx.connect inside the lib file.

App/src/libs/ReportUtils.ts

Lines 1751 to 1759 in 8616678

	function getGroupChatName(participantAccountIDs?: number[], shouldApplyLimit = false, reportID = ''): string | undefined {
	// If we have a reportID always try to get the name from the report.
	if (reportID) {
	const reportKey = `${ONYXKEYS.COLLECTION.REPORT}${reportID}`;
	const reportName = allReports?.[reportKey]?.reportName;
	if (reportName) {
	return reportName;
	}
	}

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

It's better to subscribe to the quickActionReport using withOnyx.

quickActionReport: {
    key: ({quickAction}) => `${ONYXKEYS.COLLECTION.REPORT}${quickAction?.chatReportID}`,
},

Then we don't need this anymore,

App/src/pages/home/sidebar/SidebarScreen/FloatingActionButtonAndPopover.tsx

Line 150 in 8616678

const quickActionReport: OnyxEntry<OnyxTypes.Report> = useMemo(() => (quickAction ? ReportUtils.getReport(quickAction.chatReportID) : null), [quickAction]);

We can do the same for quickActionPolicy
