Description

Clicked Brave News ad doesn't receive payout nor show up in brave://rewards, but does appear in 30-days ads history

Steps to Reproduce

1. new profile
2. launch Brave using --enable-logging=stderr --vmodule="*/variations/*"=6,"*/bat-native-ledger/*"=6,"*/brave_rewards/*"=6,"*/bat-native-ads/*"=6,"*/bat-native-confirmations/*"=6,"*/brave_ads/*"=9,"*/brave_user_model/*"=6 --brave-ads-staging --brave-ads-debug --rewards=staging=true,reconcile-interval=3
3. open a new-tab page
4. click on Start using Rewards
5. scroll down
6. click on Enable Brave News
7. scroll down and click on an ad with the BAT logo in the upper-right corner
8. ensure you get the landing page, and wait at least 10 seconds
9. load brave://rewards
10. look for:

• current earnings this month
• # of ads received this month

Actual result:

• current earnings this month is 0.000 BAT
• # of ads received this month is 0.

Clicked Brave News ad shows up in 30-days ad history

Expected result:

Should probably receive 0.010 BAT (or similar) for current earnings this month (estimated) and # of ads this month should read 1.

Reproduces how often:

I think this issue is invalid as user is paid for view events and not click events.

The reason why don't get a view event could be #17136

If the ad is fully confined to the viewport then everything works, view event is triggered and user is paid:

Moving this into 1.28.x as it was fixed by brave/brave-core#9327 which was uplifted into 1.28.x via brave/brave-core#9599. I also removed closed/works-for-me and added QA Pass-macOS as it was verified by @stephendonner via #17062 (comment).
