Probably related to this PR https://github.com/Expensify/App/pull/51445

But I am not sure we have a pattern for showing errors in Search, checking here https://expensify.slack.com/archives/C01GTK53T8Q/p1731409542501669

We are adding RBR in another PR https://github.com/Expensify/App/pull/52333 and this is still under construction, so we don't need to block on this and can close it.

Proposal

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

Pay button can be clicked many times without error when bank account is not set up

What is the root cause of that problem?

Here we are only check for if lastPolicyPaymentMethod is not undefined before we call payMoneyRequestOnSearch. https://github.com/Expensify/App/blob/cd3f30f73a18c29532d6886b4bb3744fd700ab9d/src/libs/actions/Search.ts#L46 When user selects Pay with Expensify on step 7, lastPolicyPaymentMethod becomes 'ACH' payMoneyRequestOnSearch will be called. And the payment won't be settled since Pay with Expensify is not configured

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

Instead we should call payMoneyRequestOnSearch if lastPolicyPaymentMethod is equal to Elsewhere or if the user has an expensify payment method configured

const [fundList = {} ] = useOnyx(ONYXKEYS.FUND_LIST);
const [bankAccountList = {}] = useOnyx(ONYXKEYS.BANK_ACCOUNT_LIST);

const hasExpensifyPaymentMethod = PaymentUtils.hasExpensifyPaymentMethod(paymentCardList, bankAccountList, false))

lastPolicyPaymentMethod === 'Elsewhere' || hasExpensifyPaymentMethod ? payMoneyRequestOnSearch(hash, [{reportID: item.reportID, amount, paymentType: lastPolicyPaymentMethod}], transactionID) : goToItem();

What alternative solutions did you explore? (Optional)
