We think that this bug might be related to #wave-collect - Release 1

@jliexpensify 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

[jliexpensify]

I can repro - essentially, when we use the Workspace switcher a second time, it should default to the newly created workspace. Is that correct @IuliiaHerets?

Proposal

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

Workspace switcher - Filter is not consistently applied when creating workspace from switcher

What is the root cause of that problem?

Before navigating we are not checking if the activeWorkspaceID is undefined or not. https://github.com/Expensify/App/blob/65a3811ea62ec073d44b4d2558e053183ad76ee8/src/libs/Navigation/AppNavigator/createCustomBottomTabNavigator/BottomTabBar.tsx#L86-L100

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

We can pass undefined when activeWorkspaceID is undefined.

Navigation.navigate(ROUTES.SEARCH_CENTRAL_PANE.getRoute({query: q, ...rest, policyIDs: policy && activeWorkspaceID ? currentSearchParams?.policyIDs : undefined}));

What alternative solutions did you explore? (Optional)

We can always use activeWorkspaceID for policyIDs.

I am not able to reproduce it on latest main

Bump @shubham1206agra to double-check if this can still be reproduced + proposal reviews, thanks!

@jliexpensify, @shubham1206agra Eep! 4 days overdue now. Issues have feelings too...

📣 It's been a week! Do we have any satisfactory proposals yet? Do we need to adjust the bounty for this issue? 💸

[melvin-bot[bot]]

@jliexpensify, @shubham1206agra 6 days overdue. This is scarier than being forced to listen to Vogon poetry!

[jliexpensify]

Hi @shubham1206agra - bump on this! Will also DM you.

Hello, I wanted to point out that I have a PR ready that will significantly change how filtering by policyID will work: https://github.com/Expensify/App/pull/47787

I'd suggest to do no work on this bug until ☝️ PR is merged, and most likely this bug will be fixed.

[melvin-bot[bot]]

@jliexpensify, @shubham1206agra 10 days overdue. I'm getting more depressed than Marvin.

[shubham1206agra]

@jliexpensify Please put this issue on hold as per https://github.com/Expensify/App/issues/47482#issuecomment-2310211048

[jliexpensify]

Done!
