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

[izarutskaya]

Not repro in prod

RPReplay_Final1700113029.MP4

[dukenv0307]

I'm available to raise a PR immediately if assigned

Proposal

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

The keyboard is displayed on the screen.

What is the root cause of that problem?

In here, we'll trigger onPopoverMenuClose when the screen lose focus, without checking if the popover menu is still visible at that time, causing the issue.

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

Make sure the popover menu is currently visible first before calling onPopoverMenuClose. If it's not currently visible, we should not call onPopoverMenuClose because nothing is closing here.

useEffect(() => {
    if (!isMenuVisible || !didScreenBecomeInactive()) {
        return;
    }
    onPopoverMenuClose();
}, [didScreenBecomeInactive, onPopoverMenuClose, isMenuVisible]);

What alternative solutions did you explore? (Optional)

This will make the behavior when closing the attachment error modal to be the same as on prod. If instead we want to open the keyboard after closing the attachment error modal, we need to trigger restoreKeyboardState after that attachment error modal closes.

@dukenv0307 this is marked as deploy blocker. What is offending PR?

[ntdiary]

@situchan, I have less bandwidth, it would be better if you can take over now. :)

[situchan]

@ntdiary sure thanks

[dukenv0307]

@situchan This PR #30864 cause the regression.

[situchan]

Hmm, #30864 was deployed to production yesterday so should be repro on production as well.

[bernhardoj]

Just giving an alternative.

Proposal

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

A keyboard is shown when pressing the chat header after sending a large file (> 24 MB)

What is the root cause of that problem?

This is a recent regression from #30864. From the linked PR, it looks like the PR is deployed to production already, but then the bot add a new comment that the PR is deployed to staging again. Could the "deployed to prod" is a false alarm?

In AttachmentPickerWithMenuItems, we call onPopoverMenuClose whenever the screen becomes unfocused.

App/src/pages/home/report/ReportActionCompose/AttachmentPickerWithMenuItems.js

Lines 195 to 201 in 1ddd581

	// When the navigation is focused, we want to close the popover menu.
	useEffect(() => {
	if (!didScreenBecomeInactive()) {
	return;
	}
	onPopoverMenuClose();
	}, [didScreenBecomeInactive, onPopoverMenuClose]);

What it does is hide the popover menu and call onMenuClosed. onMenuClosed will show the keyboard back if isKeyboardVisibleWhenShowingModalRef is true.

App/src/pages/home/report/ReportActionCompose/ReportActionCompose.js

Lines 198 to 204 in 1ddd581

	const restoreKeyboardState = useCallback(() => {
	if (!isKeyboardVisibleWhenShowingModalRef.current) {
	return;
	}
	focus();
	isKeyboardVisibleWhenShowingModalRef.current = false;
	}, []);

isKeyboardVisibleWhenShowingModalRef is set to true when we press the "Add attachment".

App/src/pages/home/report/ReportActionCompose/ReportActionCompose.js

Lines 275 to 283 in 1ddd581

	const onTriggerAttachmentPicker = useCallback(() => {
	// Set a flag to block suggestion calculation until we're finished using the file picker,
	// which will stop any flickering as the file picker opens on non-native devices.
	if (willBlurTextInputOnTapOutside) {
	suggestionsRef.current.setShouldBlockSuggestionCalc(true);
	}
	isNextModalWillOpenRef.current = true;
	isKeyboardVisibleWhenShowingModalRef.current = true;
	}, []);

However, isKeyboardVisibleWhenShowingModalRef is never reset back to false when the attachment error modal is closed. So, when the report screen is out of focus, the onMenuClosed is called (first issue) and the focus is triggered because isKeyboardVisibleWhenShowingModalRef is still true (second issue).

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

Fixing one of them is enough but I think we should fix both.

I think it's fine to call onPopoverMenuClose whenever the screen is out of focus, but the problem is that we should call onMenuClosed only when the modal is really closed. To do that, we should call it inside the modal onModalHide

const onPopoverMenuClose = useCallback(() => {
    setMenuVisibility(false);
-   onMenuClosed();
}, [onMenuClosed, setMenuVisibility]);

<Modal
    onModalHide={onMenuClosed}

The reason I like this solution is that we avoid calling onMenuClosed too early (called before the modal is actually closed).
Because it's called too early, we focus the composer with a delay which raises this issue which introduces the 2nd issue

For the 2nd issue, we should reset isKeyboardVisibleWhenShowingModalRef back to false when the attachment error modal is closed. To do that, we should pass props.onModalHide to the attachment error modal.

App/src/components/AttachmentModal.js

Lines 504 to 512 in a615c41

	<ConfirmModal
	title={attachmentInvalidReasonTitle ? translate(attachmentInvalidReasonTitle) : ''}
	onConfirm={closeConfirmModal}
	onCancel={closeConfirmModal}
	isVisible={isAttachmentInvalid}
	prompt={attachmentInvalidReason ? translate(attachmentInvalidReason) : ''}
	confirmText={translate('common.close')}
	shouldShowCancelButton={false}
	/>

props.onModalHide will do the reset.

App/src/pages/home/report/ReportActionCompose/ReportActionCompose.js

Line 371 in a615c41

onModalHide={onAttachmentPreviewClose}

App/src/pages/home/report/ReportActionCompose/ReportActionCompose.js

Lines 247 to 251 in a615c41

	const onAttachmentPreviewClose = useCallback(() => {
	updateShouldShowSuggestionMenuToFalse();
	setIsAttachmentPreviewActive(false);
	restoreKeyboardState();
	}, [updateShouldShowSuggestionMenuToFalse, restoreKeyboardState]);

[situchan]

We can confirm if it's false alarm by reverting that PR locally and test.

[bernhardoj]

Yep, you can try removing this code (which is introduced from that PR) and the issue will go away

App/src/pages/home/report/ReportActionCompose/AttachmentPickerWithMenuItems.js

Lines 195 to 201 in 1ddd581

	// When the navigation is focused, we want to close the popover menu.
	useEffect(() => {
	if (!didScreenBecomeInactive()) {
	return;
	}
	onPopoverMenuClose();
	}, [didScreenBecomeInactive, onPopoverMenuClose]);

[situchan]

As the original issue is edge case and not that critical, I suggest to revert to unblock deploy.
Here's PR: #31457

[roryabraham]

Don't mind me, just going to remove and re-add the deploy blocker label to test something

Update for the curious: it worked ... PR / workflow run

Reminder set to pay, please take a look at the BZ steps when you have a chance @situchan 🙇

[dukenv0307]

@situchan since we did the straight revert, what's the next step here? Should we modify the proposals to add back the fix in #30864 and fix the regression in it?

[situchan]

@dukenv0307 Nothing left here.
I think @ishpaul777 and @eVoloshchak will work on new PR in #29379.

Payment summary:

$500 - @situchan C+

[MitchExpensify]

Paid, contract ended, do we need BZ steps here @situchan ?

[situchan]

The offending PR author/reviewer are already aware of this regression.
The bug was caught by QA team so no more regression test is needed.
So I think we can complete BZ checklist with this info.
