Triggered auto assignment to @strepanier03 (Bug), see https://stackoverflow.com/c/expensify/questions/14418 for more details.

@strepanier03 FYI I haven't added the External label as I wasn't 100% sure about this issue. Please take a look and add the label if you agree it's a bug and can be handled by external contributors

Proposal

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

Message disappears

What is the root cause of that problem?

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

When we delete a message that isn't a thread parent message, the current request is included to handle conflicting request and then we merge the successData into Onyx after we merge the optimistic data of the request here. That is the root cause of the issue

App/src/libs/actions/Report.ts

Line 1321 in 272b05f

handleConflictingRequest: () => Onyx.update(successData),

App/src/libs/actions/PersistedRequests.ts

Line 40 in 272b05f

handleConflictingRequest?.(conflictingRequest);

What alternative solutions did you explore? (Optional)

We should handle merge the optimistic data of the request after we handle conflicting request

App/src/libs/API/index.ts

Lines 67 to 69 in 272b05f

	if (optimisticData) {
	Onyx.update(optimisticData);
	}

To do that we should move this block after we push the request here

[strepanier03]

Raising this internally because I'm finding contradicting expected behavior.

#17081

[strepanier03]

Okay "greyed out and struck through" is the expected behavior.

Triggered auto assignment to Contributor-plus team member for initial proposal review - @hungvu193 (External)

[hungvu193]

Hey @roryabraham, I believe this issue is a regression from your recent PR, do you want to fix this as a separate issue or treat it as a regression?

[roryabraham]

I'd be happy to fix this in a follow-up, I don't think we should revert this, as the bug(s) I fixed were worse than this one.

[hungvu193]

Thanks, @nkdengineer. I'm not convinced by the solution of moving the updating optimisticData after SequentialQueue.push(request). Also, it didn't work when you turned off and then turned on your internet connection few times.

#39432

[hungvu193]

Awesome, @strepanier03 let's put this on hold for #39432

[hungvu193]

hold for #39432

[strepanier03]

Still on hold, good to keep pausing.

[roryabraham]

Still on HOLD, will resume #39432 as soon as I can

[strepanier03]

Thanks Rory!

[roryabraham]

still on hold

[strepanier03]

Currently on hold.

[strepanier03]

VSB is on hold. Thinking of moving this to monthly.

[strepanier03]

Moving to monthly for now.

[strepanier03]

Going to retest this, it's been quite some time since it was created and tested.

[strepanier03]

On v9.0.28-2, I am unable to repro. Going offline and deleting a message strikes the message through as expected.

I'm going to close this out as already fixed. Reopen if you disagree.
