Explanation of Change

Fixed Issues

$ Expensify/App#58499
PROPOSAL:

Tests

  1. Change one of the useOnyx()s of FreeTrial.tsx component to set the canBeMissing flag.

  2. Create a new account and sign in.
  3. Switch between Settings and Inbox in order to trigger the alert.
  4. Assert an alert is displayed both visually and in the console.
  • Verify that no errors appear in the JS console

Offline tests

Same as above.

QA Steps

// TODO: These must be filled out, or the issue title must include "[No QA]."

Not possible for QA to test this.

  • Verify that no errors appear in the JS console

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 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 used JaimeGPT to get English > Spanish translation. I then posted it 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.ts 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.
  • I added unit tests for any new feature or bug fix in this PR to help automatically prevent regressions in this user flow.
  • 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.

@iwiznia About your comment:

Oh, I was referring about this, but it seems it just uses an alert, since this is dev only I guess we can also use alert. I don't think you can test this, other than modifying that code and triggering it manually, since that data is never returned in the production/staging api, only in dev.

I added support in Onyx Logger to pass extra data when logging stuff, and in E/App Expensify.tsx I would have something like this:

But I still think it's too intrusive for devs and each alert stops the entire App's execution flow, please check out the video:

I think we should only show the errors in the console. According to the checklist C+ should always check for new errors when reviewing PRs. WDYT?

Let's try with alert at first and see if it is annoying? I understand the alerts are a bit annoying, but it only depends on how many you see normally.
My fear of the console is that people will miss it.

Can you add/update the readme/documentation to explain this new param please?

lib/useOnyx.ts Outdated
// If `canBeMissing` is set to `false` and the Onyx value of that key is not defined,
// we log an alert so it can be acknowledged by the consumer.
if (options?.canBeMissing === false && newStatus === 'loaded' && !isOnyxValueDefined) {
Logger.logAlert(`useOnyx returned no data for key '${key}' while canBeMissing was set to false.`, {showAlert: true});

We need to do the alert() call if we are in dev, no?

Also, can you move key to the params? I think otherwise this will create an issue for each key, for example one issue per reportID

@iwiznia Could you help me this? I'm not sure how I should pass this data. I saw some example here, so I guess we need to pass this way?

Logger.logAlert(`useOnyx returned no data for key '${key}' while canBeMissing was set to false.`, {key, showAlert: true});

Also, I noticed that in E/App our Log.alert() has an additional parameters parameter that is used to pass this kind of data, right? In E/App we use Logger from expensify-common which has this signature. So I guess we must have same signature in our Onyx logger?

Yep, but without the key in the message:

Logger.logAlert(`useOnyx returned no data for key with canBeMissing set to false.`, {key, showAlert: true});

Also, I noticed that in E/App our Log.alert() has an additional parameters parameter that is used to pass this kind of data, right? In E/App we use Logger from expensify-common which has this signature. So I guess we must have same signature in our Onyx logger?

So both signatures match already, no?

It's because we don't have alert() here (it's a component file from E/App), and these kind of UI thing makes more sense to be handled by the consumer, not this type of library imo.

So both signatures match already, no?

Currently, no. I will look into this.
