Proposal

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

App crashes when submitting an expense after disconnecting from NetSuite

What is the root cause of that problem?

This issue might happen if policyTagList or any tags within policyTagList is undefined or null.

https://github.com/Expensify/App/blob/df69c80229acdc510064d2671e2fdde8095a93a7/src/libs/OptionsListUtils.ts#L1402-L1406

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

function hasEnabledTags(policyTagList: Array<PolicyTagList[keyof PolicyTagList]>) {
    if (!policyTagList) {
        return false;
    }

    const policyTagValueList = policyTagList
        .filter(tag => tag && tag.tags) // Ensure tag and tag.tags are defined
        .map(({tags}) => Object.values(tags))
        .flat();

    return hasEnabledOptions(policyTagValueList);
}

We can check if we need to add similar checks as other places also.

CC: @luacmartins since I think you might be handling QBO/Netsuite bugs.

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

Netsuite - App crashes when submitting an expense after disconnecting from NetSuite

What is the root cause of that problem?

In https://github.com/Expensify/App/blob/459759d55963091c708d7271c29e0f95f3add658/src/libs/PolicyUtils.ts#L272, we filter out empty tags by checking policyTagListValue !== null. However this is not enough, there could be empty tags that only has required field, this empty tag, when not omitted in https://github.com/Expensify/App/blob/459759d55963091c708d7271c29e0f95f3add658/src/libs/PolicyUtils.ts#L272, is returned in the tag list and will cause the crash here because it doesn't have important fields like the tags field.

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

We need to improve the empty tags filtering logic here https://github.com/Expensify/App/blob/459759d55963091c708d7271c29e0f95f3add658/src/libs/PolicyUtils.ts#L272 to filter out empty tags based on the name field as well, if it's a valid tag, it will always have name (we can see that name is a required field here)

.filter((policyTagListValue) => policyTagListValue?.name)

This will ensure the policyTagsList returned from getTagLists is always correct and not only will it fix this crash in hasEnabledTags but anywhere we use the policyTagLists from getTagLists will also behave correctly.

What alternative solutions did you explore? (Optional)

We can check by the existence of tags field. Regardless, the fix needs to be in getTagLists so policyTagLists is correct and consistent everywhere it's used

@eVoloshchak, @bfitzexpensify Uh oh! This issue is overdue by 2 days. Don't forget to update your issues!

[eVoloshchak]

Both proposals are fairly similar (different implementation, but same root cause and effectively the same fix, just in different place), I think we can proceed with @ShridharGoel's proposal

This issue has not been updated in over 15 days. @eVoloshchak, @marcaaron, @ShridharGoel, @bfitzexpensify eroding to Monthly issue.

P.S. Is everyone reading this sure this is really a near-term priority? Be brave: if you disagree, go ahead and close it out. If someone disagrees, they'll reopen it, and if they don't: one less thing to do!
