PR Author Checklist

• I linked the correct issue in the ### Fixed Issues section above
• I wrote clear testing steps that cover the changes made in this PR
  • I added steps for local testing in the Tests section
  • I added steps for the expected offline behavior in the Offline steps section
  • I added steps for Staging and/or Production testing in the QA steps section
  • 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).
• I included screenshots or videos for tests on all platforms
• I ran the tests on all platforms & verified they passed on:
  • Android / native
  • Android / Chrome
  • iOS / native
  • iOS / 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 />.
  • I verified that comments were added to code that is not self explanatory
  • I verified that any new or modified comments were clear, correct English, and explained "why" the code was doing something instead of only explaining "what" the code was doing.
  • I verified any copy / text shown in the product is localized by adding it to src/languages/* files and using the translation method
    • 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 the JSDocs style guidelines (in STYLE.md) were followed
• If a new code pattern is added I verified it was agreed to be used by multiple Expensify engineers
• I followed the guidelines as stated in the Review Guidelines
• I tested other components that can be impacted by my changes (i.e. if the PR modifies a shared library or component like Avatar, I verified the components using Avatar are working as expected)
• 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 a new component is created I verified that:
  • A similar component doesn't exist in the codebase
  • All props are defined accurately and each prop has a /** comment above it */
  • The file is named correctly
  • The component has a clear name that is non-ambiguous and the purpose of the component can be inferred from the name alone
  • The only data being stored in the state is data necessary for rendering and nothing else
  • If we are not using the full Onyx data that we loaded, I've added the proper selector in order to ensure the component only re-renders when the data it is using changes
  • For Class Components, any internal methods passed to components event handlers are bound to this properly so there are no scoping issues (i.e. for onClick={this.submit} the method this.submit should be bound to this in the constructor)
  • Any internal methods bound to this are necessary to be bound (i.e. avoid this.submit = this.submit.bind(this); if this.submit is never passed to a component event handler like onClick)
  • All JSX used for rendering exists in the render method
  • The component has the minimum amount of code necessary for its purpose, and it is broken down into smaller components in order to separate concerns and functions
• 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 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.
• If the main branch was merged into this PR after a review, I tested again and verified the outcome was still expected according to the Test steps.
• I have checked off every checkbox in the PR author checklist, including those that don't apply to this PR.

[situchan]

I applied changes from this PR locally. I will see if there's any unexpected behavior for next few days.

[situchan]

@waterim please try to follow repro step on these issues caused by original PR:
#28654
#28656
#28649

[situchan]

Also, I have ever reproduced this weird bug but not found clear repro step yet.

[situchan]

So far I am not able to reproduce any of issues above.
@waterim if same to you, I will ask internally to generate QR build and perform regression test.
Please let me know.

[waterim]

I tried, but Im not able to reproduce them.. :(

[situchan]

@mountiny can you please generate QR build?

[situchan]

@waterim please pull main

[mountiny]

running

[situchan]

@mountiny can you please test this branch and confirm #28649 is still reproducible? As it was reported by you.

[mountiny]

Unfortunately I am still seeing delays

[waterim]

Super weird

[situchan]

Might be related to local time. @mountiny are you currently synced with internet time? (no 1ms diff)

[mountiny]

are you currently synced with internet time? (no 1ms diff)

Idk but I dont think this should be something we should expect from our customers, we should accommodate for that

[waterim]

I have the same on this PR deploy

[situchan]

are you currently synced with internet time? (no 1ms diff)

Idk but I dont think this should be something we should expect from our customers, we should accommodate for that

yup. I adjusted local time back and forth and still had no issue

[waterim]

After merging main to this PR Im getting this error when trying to "npm run web'

@situchan @mountiny Do you know how to fix it? (same on main as well)

[mountiny]

I am running a test build where we can see it on desktop hopefully, the bug is not really acceptable at least from what I can see from the video

Okay, looks like delay appears on the desktop app with changed time, but works fine with default auto-time. With all other platforms it works good.
Don't know exactly why electron fetch doesn't have all headers to be honest.

What do you think guys regarding this?
The only issue is on desktop with disabled auto datetime, thats 0.0001% of users

[situchan]

The only issue is on desktop with disabled auto datetime, thats 0.0001% of users

Also, this is not a regression but production behavior. So desktop isn't affected by this PR.

In summary:
desktop: doesn't fix #21490 but same as production
web: fix #21490

As long as this PR doesn't cause regression, I am fine to proceed. Also there's possibility that production desktop app might work fine.

[mountiny]

@situchan to confirm, no new regression, issue fixed on web and whatever the issue is on desktop that is already in production?

If so could you approve this PR please?

@waterim could you update the test steps to clearly state what platform should be tested for this?

[situchan]

@situchan to confirm, no new regression, issue fixed on web and whatever the issue is on desktop that is already in production?

right

If so could you approve this PR please?

[mountiny]

Oh wow I am not even assigned to the linked issue 😂

look at that
