Proposal

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

The not found page is shown when we reopen the workspace join link after leaving it.

What is the root cause of that problem?

When we successfully leave from a workspace, we still keep the policy object data. It's really weird that the pending action is still delete.

App/src/libs/actions/Policy/Policy.ts

Lines 649 to 660 in 65db650

	const successData: OnyxUpdate[] = [
	{
	onyxMethod: Onyx.METHOD.MERGE,
	key: `${ONYXKEYS.COLLECTION.POLICY}${policyID}`,
	value: {
	pendingAction: CONST.RED_BRICK_ROAD_PENDING_ACTION.DELETE,
	employeeList: {
	[sessionEmail]: null,
	},
	},
	},
	];

When we reopen the join link/page, the condition below detects that the workspace exists, thus we are navigated to the profile page.

App/src/pages/workspace/WorkspaceJoinUserPage.tsx

Lines 45 to 51 in 65db650

	if (!isEmptyObject(policy) && !policy?.isJoinRequestPending) {
	Navigation.isNavigationReady().then(() => {
	Navigation.goBack(undefined, false, true);
	Navigation.navigate(ROUTES.WORKSPACE_INITIAL.getRoute(policyID ?? ''));
	});
	return;
	}

The not found page will be shown if the policy/workspace has a pending action of delete, thus we see the not found page.

App/src/pages/workspace/WorkspacePageWithSections.tsx

Line 153 in 65db650

(PolicyUtils.isPendingDeletePolicy(policy) && PolicyUtils.isPendingDeletePolicy(prevPolicy))

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

First, we should clear the policy data after successfully leaving a workspace.

const successData: OnyxUpdate[] = [
    {
        onyxMethod: Onyx.METHOD.MERGE,
        key: `${ONYXKEYS.COLLECTION.POLICY}${policyID}`,
        value: null,
    },
];

Next, because not found page will be shown for pending delete workspace, we need to add a new check here to make sure the pending action is not delete so we don't get navigated to the not found workspace profile page.

App/src/pages/workspace/WorkspaceJoinUserPage.tsx

Lines 45 to 51 in 65db650

	if (!isEmptyObject(policy) && !policy?.isJoinRequestPending) {
	Navigation.isNavigationReady().then(() => {
	Navigation.goBack(undefined, false, true);
	Navigation.navigate(ROUTES.WORKSPACE_INITIAL.getRoute(policyID ?? ''));
	});
	return;
	}

if (!isEmptyObject(policy) && !policy?.isJoinRequestPending && !PolicyUtils.isPendingDeletePolicy(policy)) {

We can optionally check for the policy ID. Let me know if we want to do that

Hi @isabelastisser / @bernhardoj , this link is only setting the workspace as Requested, how do I generate this link or use it for testing?

[bernhardoj]

@abdulrahuman5196 I use my other account workspace invitation. So, I get my account B workspace join link, account A opens it, and account B accepts the request (in #admins room if I'm not mistaken).
