We think that this bug might be related to #wave-control

[luacmartins]

I don't think this is a deploy blocker. All messages showing up is the expected behavior. Only thing that needs to be fixed is the unread marker jumping around.

[luacmartins]

I can take this issue as part of the Search project

Looking for proposals!

[abzokhattab]

Hi team,

I'm a bit confused about this point:

Pinned chat should be present in the Pinned section
Actual Result: All messages between users from the pinned chat are displayed in the Pinned section search.

As far as I know, we don't have the ability to pin individual messages in a chat; we can only pin the entire chat/report itself.

Do you mean that when a user pins a chat, only one entry (the pinned chat) should appear in the Pinned section? And when clicking on it, it should simply open the chat thread with all its messages?

[luacmartins]

@abzokhattab as I mentioned here, that part is expected. We should only fix the unread marker jumping around.

[QichenZhu]

Looks like @wildan-m's proposal on another issue can fix the unread maker issue here.

[rayane-djouah]

@wildan-m Are you interested in looking into this issue?

[wildan-m]

@rayane-djouah sure. Thanks for mentioning that @QichenZhu

Proposal

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

What is the root cause of that problem?

We are not updating unread marker time when the last unread report action deleted

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

We can update unread marker time when some of the report actions deleted, we can add new condition to indicate some report action deleted add this condition: mostRecentReportActionCreated >= prevMostRecentReportActionCreated

Change this code to:

    const mostRecentReportActionCreated = sortedVisibleReportActions[0]?.created ?? '';
    const prevMostRecentReportActionCreated = usePrevious(mostRecentReportActionCreated);
    useEffect(() => {
    
        if (unreadMarkerReportActionID) {
            return;
        }
    
    
        if (mostRecentReportActionCreated <= unreadMarkerTime && mostRecentReportActionCreated >= prevMostRecentReportActionCreated) {
            return;
        }
    
        setUnreadMarkerTime(mostRecentReportActionCreated);

What alternative solutions did you explore? (Optional)

To maintain the unread marker visible after repeated search clicks, lastReadTime should not be updated in openReport. A backend modification is needed to introduce a new parameter shouldUpdateLastReadTime set to true for routes other than SCREENS.SEARCH.REPORT_RHP.

Also wrap setUnreadMarkerTime in src/pages/home/report/ReportActionsList.tsx with the REPORT_RHP check

    const [unreadMarkerTime, setUnreadMarkerTime] = useState(report.lastReadTime ?? '');

    const setUnreadMarkerTimeIfNotSearchReport = (lastReadTime: string) => {
        if(route.name === SCREENS.SEARCH.REPORT_RHP)
        {
            return;
        }
        setUnreadMarkerTime(lastReadTime)
    }

@rayane-djouah let me know what you think of the updated proposal #49570 (comment)

[rayane-djouah]

@luacmartins This bug is no longer reproducible because it was caused by PR #48445, which was reverted in PR #49770. I think we can close this issue.

@IuliiaHerets Could you please retest and confirm whether this issue is no longer reproducible?

[luacmartins]

Cool, I agree. Let's close this out once @IuliiaHerets confirms.

[IuliiaHerets]

@luacmartins This bug report contains two issues.

1. All messages are displayed in Pinned section ( not sure if that's expected, it is still repro)
2. Green line appears on every open message from pinned chats (this is not repro any more)

[luacmartins]

Thanks for confirming!

All messages are displayed in Pinned section ( not sure if that's expected, it is still repro)

Yes, this is expected

[luacmartins]

Cool, seems like the issue here is resolved. Closing.
