Proposal

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

The distance, amount, and individual split share changes to a very big value.

What is the root cause of that problem?

From the expected result, the 1st (Amount field will be empty) and 2nd problem (Distance field will change to Pending) is the same root cause as #46952 and is currently being handled in #46964.

For the 3rd problem (Split input will be 0.00), even after we fix the 1st and 2nd, the split amount still won't be 0 when the distance amount is 0 because we only update the individual split amount if the distance amount (amount) is truth (> 0).

App/src/components/MoneyRequestConfirmationList.tsx

Lines 345 to 348 in 9c7c4a1

	const participantAccountIDs: number[] = selectedParticipantsProp.map((participant) => participant.accountID ?? -1);
	if (isTypeSplit && !isPolicyExpenseChat && amount && transaction?.currency) {
	IOU.setSplitShares(transaction, amount, currency, participantAccountIDs);
	}

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

If we want to update the individual split amount to 0 when the distance amount is 0, then we need to remove the amount check here.

App/src/components/MoneyRequestConfirmationList.tsx

Lines 345 to 348 in 9c7c4a1

	const participantAccountIDs: number[] = selectedParticipantsProp.map((participant) => participant.accountID ?? -1);
	if (isTypeSplit && !isPolicyExpenseChat && amount && transaction?.currency) {
	IOU.setSplitShares(transaction, amount, currency, participantAccountIDs);
	}

However, I notice that when we create the split distance while offline with the pending distance, the request will always fail and also, the participant is only the current user because we don't include participants with 0 split amount.

App/src/libs/actions/IOU.ts

Line 4053 in 9c7c4a1

const splits: Split[] = [{email: currentUserEmailForIOUSplit, accountID: currentUserAccountID, amount: currentUserAmount, taxAmount: currentUserTaxAmount}];

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

Lines 342 to 352 in 9c7c4a1

	let splitParticipants = selectedParticipants;
	// Filter out participants with an amount equal to O
	if (iouType === CONST.IOU.TYPE.SPLIT && transaction?.splitShares) {
	const participantsWithAmount = Object.keys(transaction.splitShares ?? {})
	.filter((accountID: string): boolean => (transaction?.splitShares?.[Number(accountID)]?.amount ?? 0) > 0)
	.map((accountID) => Number(accountID));
	splitParticipants = selectedParticipants.filter((participant) =>
	participantsWithAmount.includes(participant.isPolicyExpenseChat ? participant?.ownerAccountID ?? -1 : participant.accountID ?? -1),
	);
	}

App/src/libs/actions/IOU.ts

Lines 4062 to 4066 in 9c7c4a1

	// To exclude someone from a split, the amount can be 0. The scenario for this is when creating a split from a group chat, we have remove the option to deselect users to exclude them.
	// We can input '0' next to someone we want to exclude.
	if (splitAmount === 0) {
	return;
	}

I tried to always include the participant even when the amount is 0, but it still fails.

Maybe we can disable the confirmation button if the distance amount is 0.

Not treating this as a blocker. While annoying it should be rare and has an obvious workaround.

[mvtglobally]

Issue not reproducible during KI retests. (Second week)

[neil-marcellini]

@mvtglobally why do you say it's not reproducible? I just found that it was reproducible yesterday. Did it get fixed in a day? I doubt it. Would you please include a video of your test?

[greg-schroeder]

Bump @mvtglobally on the above!

[carlosmiceli]

Should get started on it today.

[melvin-bot]

@carlosmiceli, @greg-schroeder, @fedirjh Eep! 4 days overdue now. Issues have feelings too...

[greg-schroeder]

Thanks for the update @carlosmiceli!

[carlosmiceli]

@neil-marcellini How do I get location working? I already gave access.

@neil-marcellini How do I get location working? I already gave access.

That's odd, might be a separate bug. Try reloading the page, signing out and back in, etc. If you still have trouble you can start looking into the MapView and how it's loaded, how the token is fetched.

I just tried and found out that GetMapboxAccessToken is failing because we removed the token and haven't sent an action required email yet. I explained the solution here.

[melvin-bot]

@carlosmiceli, @greg-schroeder, @fedirjh Huh... This is 4 days overdue. Who can take care of this?

[carlosmiceli]

Was OOO, will try to work on it this week after I deal with some backlog.

[greg-schroeder]

Okay Thanks @carlosmiceli!

[carlosmiceli]

Got carried away with wrapping homepage phase 2 issues, should be able to start this week 🙏

Closing as #vip-split is now closed/archived/paused - let me know if you disagree @carlosmiceli
