imo should not block the deploy. @arosiclair might have some insight into this one?

[arosiclair]

Haven't looked at the connect/disconnect functionality yet. Looks like this PR is closely related though. @carlosmiceli @NJ-2020 can you take a look?

[NJ-2020]

@arosiclair This is because the areConnectionEnabled is false but there is a connection QB data, so when we disconnect the QB the connection data become empty and the checking condition become false, so it show 404 page not found

Triggered auto assignment to Contributor-plus team member for initial proposal review - @eVoloshchak (External)

Proposal

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

Not here page opens after disconnecting QBO when it is connected via Old Dot.

What is the root cause of that problem?

When we connect an integration in OD, the areConnectionsEnabled still is false in ND because the user did not explicitly enable accounting on ND.

So when the connection is disconnected in ND, it shows 404 page because it's now an inaccessible page.

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

If areConnectionsEnabled is false, before removing the connection we need to navigate to the workspace profile/workspace list/other fallback page first

To do it we can update this to

if (!policy.areConnectionsEnabled) {
    Navigation.navigate(ROUTES.WORKSPACE_PROFILE.getRoute(policyID ?? '-1'));

    InteractionManager.runAfterInteractions(() => {
        removePolicyConnection(policyID, connectedIntegration);
    });

    return;
}
removePolicyConnection(policyID, connectedIntegration);

The route can be changed depending on which page we want to fallback to in this case.

What alternative solutions did you explore? (Optional)

From my testing InteractionManager.runAfterInteractions works reliably to make sure we only remove the Onyx data after navigation so the 404 does not show up briefly. But an even more sure way is to use useWaitForNavigation to wait for navigation to complete, like in

App/src/pages/Search/AdvancedSearchFilters.tsx

Line 55 in 5005f59

const waitForNavigate = useWaitForNavigation();

My proposal modified to add an alternative solution part

@eVoloshchak, @sonialiap, @marcaaron Uh oh! This issue is overdue by 2 days. Don't forget to update your issues!

[daledah]

@daledah, areConnectionsEnabled shouldn't be false if QBO is connected

@eVoloshchak But it is (feel free to check the Onyx data to validate this, even after logged out and logged in, areConnectionsEnabled is still false), areConnectionsEnabled is only true if the user explicitly enables it in More features. In this case, the user did not explicitly enable it in More features, but just connect directly via OldDot.

Looking at this condition, we can see this is a known case, because we're checking both areConnectionsEnabled and !isEmptyObject(policy?.connections). Even if areConnectionsEnabled is false but policy?.connections have value, we would still display the connection list, but it still doesn't mean that the user enabled Accounting, they didn't.

📣 It's been a week! Do we have any satisfactory proposals yet? Do we need to adjust the bounty for this issue? 💸

[eVoloshchak]

@daledah, thank you for the explanation
The expected result is "App will remain on Accounting page", which would happen only if accounting is enabled in ND.
I think the way to achieve this is if you connect a QBO, the Accounting should be automatically enabled for the workspace.
Does that seem right to you?

[melvin-bot]

@eVoloshchak @sonialiap @marcaaron this issue was created 2 weeks ago. Are we close to approving a proposal? If not, what's blocking us from getting this issue assigned? Don't hesitate to create a thread in #expensify-open-source to align faster in real time. Thanks!

[marcaaron]

What's the latest on this one @eVoloshchak @daledah ?

[eVoloshchak]

According to a discussion on Slack:
Accounting should be automatically enabled for the workspace if user is enabling QBO (or any other integration) in OldDot

Do you agree? If so, we should mark this Internal

@eVoloshchak IMO we should only enable Accounting if the user explicitly enables it, not inferring from OldDot's connection actions. We should navigate the user properly as suggested in my proposal to the Workspace Profile page so 404 page will not show up briefly.

I think this is a known use case, by looking at this condition. If we should enable accounting whenever we enable any connection in OldDot, that condition will be meaningless and we should only check areConnectionsEnabled.

[marcaaron]

If we should enable accounting whenever we enable any connection in OldDot, that condition will be meaningless and we should only check areConnectionsEnabled.

Hmm... I think I disagree, but could use @trjExpensify's thoughts here. I believe the toggle design is there to entice people to "enable" them (which triggers an upgrade flow).

So, I think as soon as you add a connection it is very logical for us to set areConnectionsEnabled: true.

But if you remove one, we don't necessarily need to toggle it off and probably shouldn't. It's still "enabled" because you showed some previous interest in setting up an accounting package. And, we should only toggle it on when you add one not when you remove the final one or something.

So, I agree with @eVoloshchak that this should be internal.

@eVoloshchak, @sonialiap, @marcaaron, @bfitzexpensify Huh... This is 4 days overdue. Who can take care of this?

[marcaaron]

This is on production now so I think we can close it out.
