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: mWeb Chrome
- iOS: Native
- iOS: mWeb 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 either coming verbatim from figma or has been approved by marketing (in order to get marketing approval, ask the Bug Zero team member to add the Waiting for copy label to the issue)
- 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 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(theme.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 the PR modifies a component or page that can be accessed by a direct deeplink, I verified that the code functions as expected when the deeplink is used - from a logged in and logged out account.
If the PR modifies the UI (e.g. new buttons, new UI components, changing the padding/spacing/sizing, moving components, etc) or modifies the form input styles:
- I verified that all the inputs inside a form are aligned with each other.
- I added Design label and/or tagged @Expensify/design so the design team can review the changes.
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.

@tienifr Getting an error on the PolicyAccountingPage, also we have a lint (prettier) error.

tienifr · 2024-05-01T08:08:19Z

@aldo-expensify @mountiny @Ollyws

Here's the data returned from BE. The date format is not correct, it should be 024-04-26 08:55:57

tienifr · 2024-05-06T02:59:22Z

@mountiny can you help take a look?

aldo-expensify · 2024-05-06T17:45:56Z

@aldo-expensify @mountiny @Ollyws

Here's the data returned from BE. The date format is not correct, it should be 024-04-26 08:55:57

t doesn't look incorrect to me, isn't that an ISO date string? We want to avoid changes in the backend that could cause problems with OldDot

tienifr · 2024-05-07T09:15:05Z

@Ollyws I fixed the PR

src/pages/workspace/accounting/PolicyAccountingPage.tsx

Ollyws · 2024-05-07T09:55:27Z

src/pages/workspace/accounting/PolicyAccountingPage.tsx

+    useEffect(() => {
+        const locale = preferredLocale ?? CONST.LOCALES.DEFAULT;
+        setDateTimeToRelative(DateUtils.datetimeToRelative(locale, formatedDate));
+        const interval = setInterval(() => {


Why do we need to use setInterval here?

If we don't use setInterval, we have to refresh page to see the new relativeTime

Wouldn't any change in formattedDate trigger the useEffect though?

I agree with Olly, shouldn't this already be handled by the useEffect dependency?

@tienifr i dont think this is a requirement @trjExpensify i think its fine to not update the sync date until we get pusher update or user navigates away and back to the page.

I dont think there is much value in having the text auto update when user stays on the page

Yeah, agreed. Pretty sure with OldDot we do that too.

Ollyws · 2024-05-08T09:58:07Z

I'm getting "in about 2 hours" immeditaely after syncing:

mountiny · 2024-05-08T10:06:21Z

Agree with Aldo, that seems correct to me, lets try to work with this format returned by BE

src/pages/workspace/accounting/PolicyAccountingPage.tsx

mountiny · 2024-05-08T10:11:15Z

src/pages/workspace/accounting/PolicyAccountingPage.tsx

+    useEffect(() => {
+        const locale = preferredLocale ?? CONST.LOCALES.DEFAULT;
+        setDateTimeToRelative(DateUtils.datetimeToRelative(locale, formatedDate));
+        const interval = setInterval(() => {


I agree with Olly, shouldn't this already be handled by the useEffect dependency?

tienifr · 2024-05-09T03:15:57Z

Wouldn't any change in formattedDate trigger the useEffect though?

@mountiny @Ollyws I thought it was not updated in real time, that why I added the setInterval logic to trigger updating relativeTime. I need to test this API again to see if successfulDate is updated in real time. Unfortunately, I can't setup the QBO for now. Can you help this case?

Screen.Recording.2024-05-09.at.10.13.28.mov

mountiny · 2024-05-09T11:37:07Z

@tienifr the route is incorrect, there should not be expensify.com.dev for you. Did you have this set up working before?

s77rt · 2024-05-09T11:48:17Z

@tienifr Just manually update the domain part to dev.new.expensify.com:8082

tienifr · 2024-05-10T08:28:26Z

@mountiny If we don't use setInterval how can we update relativeTime after several minutes? For example, after connecting QBO, the text should be Last synced just now, then users stay in this page for a while -> I need setInterval to update this text to 11 minutes ago

Ollyws · 2024-05-10T09:56:54Z

@tienifr Ahh I see what you're saying, formattedDate is only the date of the last sync so ofcourse we need to calculate the difference between the current date and the last synced date to get a message like Last synced 15 minutes ago using setInterval if we want it to update in realtime.
Unless we wanted to simply show a timestamp like Last synced at 2pm or something.

Ollyws · 2024-05-10T11:00:12Z

@tienifr when I change my timezone I get an incorrect time calculation:

tienifr · 2024-05-13T03:49:48Z

web-resize.mp4

@Ollyws It worked well on my side, can you pls elaborate?

Ollyws · 2024-05-13T07:29:45Z

@tienifr The text in your video is saying that it last synced "in about 2 hours" which is in the future.
Surely the last synced message shouldn't change atall when you change the timezone, we should be using UTC to measure both as the last synced time from the backend is in UTC.

tienifr · 2024-05-13T10:08:56Z

@Ollyws Ah I see that bug. The RCA is here

App/src/libs/DateUtils.ts

Line 135 in f443efa

return utcToZonedTime(parsedDatetime, currentSelectedTimezone);

we use utcToZonedTime that make the time is different. Pls check https://masteringjs.io/tutorials/date-fns/tz#:~:text=The%20actual%20underlying%20time%20is%20different.

I think using formatDistanceToNow is enough and it worked well

mountiny

I think we should remove the set interval

mountiny · 2024-05-13T12:57:29Z

@tienifr Requested one change and lint is failing

tienifr · 2024-05-14T08:18:39Z

@mountiny I removed setInterval and fixed lint

Ollyws · 2024-05-14T10:24:20Z

Removing the setInterval will stop the last synced label from updating, for example it will say less than a minute ago forever, until the page is refreshed. So it's no longer fixing the issue.

mountiny · 2024-05-14T16:39:29Z

@Ollyws

until the page is refreshed. So it's no longer fixing the issue.

This is not right though. It should change with each re-render or change of the last sync value that comes in through pusher.

So if user navigated away in the app and comes back to the accounting page, they will see different time.

Essentially the only flow the setInterval would be fixing is that admin will sync the connection and remains on the page for a while and the value will not update on its own. I think however this is pre-optimization and admins will not really hang on that page waiting for the text to update, they can navigate away and back to see the timestamp update.

So I think we can move ahead @Ollyws can you complete the review please?

If that's the expected behaviour then we're good to go.

Just to re-iterate the last synced label will only be updated when the user either navigates away from the page and back again, or refreshes.

@tienifr Could you update the testing steps to align with this? Thanks.
