Will look into this today

[mjasikowski]

Can reproduce on staging & production, but not on dev

[mjasikowski]

Works fine consistently on Firefox, I can only reproduce this in Chrome so far.

[mjasikowski]

Can be reproduced in Chrome on dev with ENVIRONMENT=production.

[mjasikowski]

It seems that despite receiving correct token, Plaid's onLoad() is never called in production build in Chrome.

[isabelastisser]

Hey, @MichaelBuhler, should this issue be assigned to an external contributor or one of our engineers?

[mjasikowski]

@isabelastisser let's make it external, it's a pure front-end problem.

[shahinyan11]

Hi there. @mjasikowski Could you please tell me which file should I make the following changes ENVIRONMENT=production in?. And I want to clarify the behavior. Is it expected to always open Plaid when working properly ?

[mjasikowski]

@shahinyan11 here's how I managed to reproduce this with my limited testing:

1. Edit your.env file by adding ENVIRONMENT=production to the end of the file (or changing the environment in the file to production if it's already there)
2. Start the app with npm run web
3. Open the app in the newest version of Chrome (I personally tested on 132.0.6811.3 (Official Build) dev (arm64))
4. Create a Workspace or go to workspace through settings
5. Go to "More features" and enable Invoices
6. Go to "Invoices"
7. Press "Add bank account"

This should always open Plaid. Currently there's an activity indicator and it just spins indefinitely. I couldn't replicate this in Firefox. As mentioned in the comment above, it seems that a relevant onLoad() function is just never called.

[Anastasiia-F]

Looks like mjasikowski was right we need to call the onLoad function

@mjasikowski, @isabelastisser, @ishpaul777 Huh... This is 4 days overdue. Who can take care of this?

[ishpaul777]

No proposals

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

[ishpaul777]

no proposals to review

Investigated this a bit more, it seems that Chrome is refusing to load the plaid script fetched dynamically from their CDN, but only in production mode:

[mjasikowski]

I've tested this on multiple setups:

MacOS 15.1 (Macbook Pro M3 Max)

• Chrome 132 dev - reproducible
• Firefox 133 - not reproducible
• Chrome 131 - not reproducible

MacOS 14.5 (Macbook Pro M1 Pro)

• Chrome 132 dev - reproducible
• Firefox 133 - not reproducible
• Chrome 131 - not reproducible

MacOS 15.0 (Macbook Air M2)

• Chrome 132 dev - not reproducible
• Firefox 133 - not reproducible

MacOS 14.2.1 (Mac mini M1)

• Chrome 132 dev - not reproducible
• Firefox 133 - not reproducible

Windows 11 (Intel laptop)

• Chrome 132 dev - not reproducible
• Firefox 133 - not reproducible

The root cause of the issue is the react-plaid-link npm package creating a <script> node in DOM, which should load link-initialize.js from Plaid's CDN, but in some cases the network request just stalls, preventing Plaid's iframe to load.

@mjasikowski @isabelastisser @ishpaul777 this issue was created 2 weeks ago. Are we close to approving a proposal? If not, what's blocking us from getting this issue assigned? Don't hesitate to create a thread in #expensify-open-source to align faster in real time. Thanks!

[teneeto]

Hi, I'm Eto from Callstack - expert contributor group - and I would like to take look at this issue.

[mjasikowski]

@teneeto go ahead and let me know if you need any help - I can reproduce this reliably in my local dev environment.

[mjasikowski]

Repro update: this works fine when running Chrome from a different data directory, eg. if you run open -na Google\ Chrome\ Dev --args --user-data-dir=/tmp/temporary-chrome-profile-dir from terminal. Possibly a caching bug in Chrome?

[JKobrynski]

Hi, I'm Julian from Callstack - expert contributor group - and I would like to take look at this issue.

Issue not reproducible during KI retests. (Second week)

[melvin-bot[bot]]

@mjasikowski, @isabelastisser, @JKobrynski, @ishpaul777 Uh oh! This issue is overdue by 2 days. Don't forget to update your issues!

[mjasikowski]

@JKobrynski any progress here?

[JKobrynski]

@mjasikowski not yet, investigation in progress

[ishpaul777]

not overdue, update ^

[JKobrynski]

So far I haven't been able to reproduce the issue in dev with ENVIRONMENT=production and I also haven't been able to do it in the production app. I think the reason might be the system that I'm using, currently I'm on MacOS Sonoma 14.6.1, Chrome 131 and it doesn't reproduce for me.

I'm going to update my OS and Chrome and retest.

[JKobrynski]

I updated my OS and tried reproducing the bug but once again, no success. I'm currently on macOS Sequoia 15.1.1 and I wasn't able to reproduce the bug in the production app, nor have I been able to do it in dev with ENVIRONMENT=production.

Can we somehow verify if this is still happening?

[ishpaul777]

I could not reproduce any more checked on staging, production and dev it got redirected to plaid flow successfully

[mjasikowski]

For some reason I'm still able to consistently reproduce it on my end. @JKobrynski we can jump on a call and do a screenshare if you'd like
