Proposal

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

Workspace - Submit button loads infinitely and is not deactivated while offline

What is the root cause of that problem?

RequestEarlyCancellationPage uses FeedbackSurvey which enabled offline submission by default.

App/src/pages/settings/Subscription/RequestEarlyCancellationPage/index.tsx

Lines 98 to 112 in d7c6bca

	const surveyContent = useMemo(
	() => (
	<FeedbackSurvey
	title={translate('subscription.subscriptionSettings.helpUsImprove')}
	description={translate('subscription.requestEarlyCancellation.subtitle')}
	onSubmit={handleSubmit}
	optionRowStyles={styles.flex1}
	footerText={<Text style={[styles.mb2, styles.mt4]}>{acknowledgementText}</Text>}
	isNoteRequired
	isLoading={isLoading}
	/>
	),
	[acknowledgementText, isLoading, styles.flex1, styles.mb2, styles.mt4, translate],
	);

App/src/components/FeedbackSurvey.tsx

Line 115 in d7c6bca

enabledWhenOffline

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

We should accept a new prop in FeedbackSurvey to disable the submission when offline in RequestEarlyCancellationPage.

• Add a new prop enableSubmissionWhenOffline in FeedbackSurvey, default value will be true.
• Modify the enabledWhenOffline prop to enabledWhenOffline={enableSubmissionWhenOffline}
• From RequestEarlyCancellationPage pass enableSubmissionWhenOffline={false} to FeedbackSurvey.

Note: We only need to disable offline submission for RequestEarlyCancellationPage because it does not handle offline change and FeedbackSurvey is also used in DisableAutoRenewSurveyPage which handles offline submission, so we can remove enabledWhenOffline prop from FeedbackSurvey.

What alternative solutions did you explore? (Optional)

Proposal

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

After going offline the submit button does not get deactivated and is clickable, when clicked it loads infinitely.

What is the root cause of that problem?

When we click on submit button, we call:

App/src/pages/settings/Subscription/RequestEarlyCancellationPage/index.tsx

Line 30 in 93dc1c9

const handleSubmit = (cancellationReason: FeedbackSurveyOptionID, cancellationNote = '') => {

so the FormAlertWithSubmitButton is appeared with the loading state:

App/src/components/FeedbackSurvey.tsx

Line 117 in 93dc1c9

isLoading={isLoading}

So, as long as the API WRITE_COMMANDS.CANCEL_BILLING_SUBSCRIPTION:

App/src/pages/settings/Subscription/RequestEarlyCancellationPage/index.tsx

Line 32 in 93dc1c9

Subscription.cancelBillingSubscription(cancellationReason, cancellationNote);

is not called successfully, the loading state is still appeared. These cases are:

1. When the API is in progress: If online, displaying a loading state is expected. If offline, displaying a loading state is not expected because it leads to the submit button loads infinitely (our current bug and I call it as bug 1).

2. When the API is called with the error: Currently, the submit button loads infinitely if the API returns the error instead of displaying the error and stop the loading state. We need to fix it as well and I call is as bug 2.

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

After this issue, we will use FormProvider in FeedbackSurvey and I assume that the formID is RequestEarlyCancellationForm.

We can remove the state:

App/src/pages/settings/Subscription/RequestEarlyCancellationPage/index.tsx

Line 26 in 93dc1c9

const [isLoading, setIsLoading] = useState(false);

and

App/src/pages/settings/Subscription/RequestEarlyCancellationPage/index.tsx

Line 107 in 93dc1c9

isLoading={isLoading}

because it is not used anymore when we use FormProvider. Instead, we should add the optimisticData, successData and failureData to:

App/src/libs/actions/Subscription.ts

Line 282 in 5dd0d8b

function cancelBillingSubscription(cancellationReason: FeedbackSurveyOptionID, cancellationNote: string) {

    const optimisticData: OnyxUpdate[] = [
        {
            onyxMethod: Onyx.METHOD.MERGE,
            key: "RequestEarlyCancellationForm",
            value: {isLoading: true},
        },
    ];

    const successData: OnyxUpdate[] = [
        {
            onyxMethod: Onyx.METHOD.MERGE,
            key: "RequestEarlyCancellationForm",
            value: {isLoading: false},
        },
    ];
    const failureData: OnyxUpdate[] = [
        {
            onyxMethod: Onyx.METHOD.MERGE,
            key: "RequestEarlyCancellationForm",
            value: {isLoading: false, errors: {error: 'Error message'}},
        },
    ];

And then in FormProvider component, use it as <FormProvider enabledWhenOffline={false} ... />

What alternative solutions did you explore? (Optional)

Additionally, if after this issue, we still keep using:

App/src/components/FeedbackSurvey.tsx

Lines 108 to 109 in 53eee53

	<FixedFooter>
	{!!footerText && footerText}

and use FormProvider as <FormProvider isSubmitButtonVisible={false}, we can remove:

App/src/components/FeedbackSurvey.tsx

Line 115 in 53eee53

enabledWhenOffline

when use FeedbackSurvey in RequestEarlyCancellationPage page

and the isLoading:

App/src/pages/settings/Subscription/RequestEarlyCancellationPage/index.tsx

Line 107 in 93dc1c9

isLoading={isLoading}

is from RequestEarlyCancellationForm onyx data.

[situchan]

When going offline the submit button becomes deactivated

@miljakljajic can you please confirm the expected result is correct?

[melvin-bot]

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

[melvin-bot]

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

[Krishna2323]

@miljakljajic, can you please check this comment?

[melvin-bot]

@miljakljajic @situchan 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!

[melvin-bot]

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

[miljakljajic]

Yes @Krishna2323 that is the expected pattern (see UX patterns here: https://stackoverflowteams.com/c/expensify/questions/12847)

[situchan]

Thanks for confirmation @miljakljajic, though contributors don't have access to SO)
@Krishna2323's proposal looks good to me.

@situchan Can you help check my proposal? We need to fix the case API is failed as well

The selected solution does not work in that case:

[Krishna2323]

@situchan, PR ready for review ^

[situchan]

@daledah watching your video, I am not sure what that case is. Can you please share repro step?
Btw, please prioritize this PR

[daledah]

2. Click on settings and navigate to workspace

3. Create a new workspace

6. Mock the data to simulate failing API call: You can remove this line:
   

   App/src/libs/actions/Subscription.ts

   Line 284 in 5dd0d8b

   cancellationReason,

7. Select on one of the radio buttons

8. Write something inside the input field with the placeholder "Your response"

9. Click on the submit button.

10. Verify the button loads infinitely even if the API is done (Bug)

[situchan]

@daledah thanks for reporting. It's a separate bug.
What we're fixing here is wrong offline pattern, while what you reported is online case.

[daledah]

Ah got it, thanks @situchan

[Krishna2323]

I believe the automation failed here. The PR was deployed to staging 2 weeks ago, but there is no sign of deployment to production on the PR.

@situchan @aldo-expensify, could you please help confirm if the PR was deployed to production? 🙏🏻

[situchan]

⚠️ We got confirmation on Slack that the Deploy Checklist: New Expensify 2024-08-26 which includes the PR of this issue was only deployed to production on Aug 30 in Deploy Checklist: New Expensify 2024-08-28. More context on why this happened can be found in this Slack thread and this Slack comment.

Given the context above, this issue should be on [HOLD for Payment 2024-09-06] according to Aug 30's production deploy from Deploy Checklist: New Expensify 2024-08-28.

[aldo-expensify]

Sounds good, thanks for finding that @situchan. I understand that we are past the payment date then, correct?
