Proposal

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

The categories settings always shows loading indicator when opening it.

What is the root cause of that problem?

The page is wrapped with a withPolicyConnections HOC. The loading will show if the data needs to be fetched.

App/src/pages/workspace/withPolicyConnections.tsx

Lines 34 to 35 in f83b69e

	const isConnectionDataFetchNeeded =
	!isOffline && !!props.policy && (!!props.policy.areConnectionsEnabled || !isEmptyObject(props.policy.connections)) && !hasConnectionsDataBeenFetched;

In our case, hasConnectionsDataBeenFetched is always undefined initially. That's because we set the initWithStoredValues as false here.

App/src/pages/workspace/withPolicyConnections.tsx

Lines 31 to 33 in f83b69e

	const [hasConnectionsDataBeenFetched] = useOnyx(`${ONYXKEYS.COLLECTION.POLICY_HAS_CONNECTIONS_DATA_BEEN_FETCHED}${props.policy?.id ?? '-1'}`, {
	initWithStoredValues: false,
	});

This happens after we fix a useOnyx issue where initWithStoredValues doesn't work as intended here. Even though this happens after the Onyx update, the root cause of the issue already exists before.

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

Remove the initWithStoredValues setting so we get the saved value.

Also, prevent the fetching if the onyx data is still loading.

const [hasConnectionsDataBeenFetched, hasConnectionsDataBeenFetchedResult] = useOnyx(`${ONYXKEYS.COLLECTION.POLICY_HAS_CONNECTIONS_DATA_BEEN_FETCHED}${props.policy?.id ?? '-1'}`);
const isOnyxDataLoading = isLoadingOnyxValue(hasConnectionsDataBeenFetchedResult);
const isConnectionDataFetchNeeded =
    !isOnyxDataLoading && !isOffline && !!props.policy && (!!props.policy.areConnectionsEnabled || !isEmptyObject(props.policy.connections)) && !hasConnectionsDataBeenFetched;

or we can just show the loading if the onyx data is still loading.

Proposal looks good.

As for the regression test, we have this one in TestRail. Instead of a brand new test, I think we can just add the 4th point from above to that test.

[trjExpensify]

^^ created an issue for that, closing!
