Proposal

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

RBR is not shown on the report preview when money request is dupe.

What is the root cause of that problem?

The RBR doesn't show on the report preview because it only shows if the dupe detection permission is enabled. IF the account doesn't have the permission, then RBR won't show. https://github.com/Expensify/App/blob/5e69bfc36ddfd82a113606257abb93f2fa78f7db/src/components/ReportActionItem/ReportPreview.tsx#L156-L160 https://github.com/Expensify/App/blob/5e69bfc36ddfd82a113606257abb93f2fa78f7db/src/libs/TransactionUtils/index.ts#L832-L842

However, on the individual expense preview, we just checks for the amount of the duplicates violation without checking whether the permission is enabled or not, which is different form hasWarningTypeViolations. https://github.com/Expensify/App/blob/5e69bfc36ddfd82a113606257abb93f2fa78f7db/src/components/ReportActionItem/MoneyRequestPreview/MoneyRequestPreviewContent.tsx#L147-L149

So, I think there are 2 issues here. In ReportPreview, we check for warning type violation. In MoneyRequestPreviewContent, we don't check for warning type violation, but we check for duplicates, ignoring the dupe detection permission.

For the RBR doesn't show for workspace chat in the LHN issue, we already have a logic to do that actually. https://github.com/Expensify/App/blob/5955bd797eaaf60c2b02db95a35c18663d47effe/src/libs/ReportUtils.ts#L6352-L6356

It checks all the related report and see if there are violations. However, hasWarningTypeViolations always returns false. It happens because the warningTypeViolations here is empty. Even though the dupe violation is a warning type, the showInReview is not null. https://github.com/Expensify/App/blob/5955bd797eaaf60c2b02db95a35c18663d47effe/src/libs/TransactionUtils/index.ts#L886-L891

It's because we pass nothing to showInReview. So, undefined !== null.

https://github.com/Expensify/App/blob/5955bd797eaaf60c2b02db95a35c18663d47effe/src/libs/ReportUtils.ts#L6355 https://github.com/Expensify/App/blob/5955bd797eaaf60c2b02db95a35c18663d47effe/src/libs/ReportUtils.ts#L6370-L6372

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

Let's use hasWarningTypeViolations in MoneyRequestPreviewContent too.

const hasWarningTypeViolations = TransactionUtils.hasWarningTypeViolation(transaction?.transactionID ?? '-1', transactionViolations);
...
const shouldShowRBR = hasNoticeTypeViolations || hasViolations || hasFieldErrors || (!isFullySettled && !isFullyApproved && isOnHold) || hasWarningTypeViolations;

(MoneyRequestPreviewContent also checks for hasNoticeTypeViolation but ReportPreview don't. We can add it to ReportPreview too if needed by adding it to ReportUtils, just like the others, but I don't know how to trigger notice type violation, so not sure.)

To fix the LHN RBR issue, we should first update the showInReview type by removing the null type. Then, check for undefined instead of null. https://github.com/Expensify/App/blob/5955bd797eaaf60c2b02db95a35c18663d47effe/src/libs/TransactionUtils/index.ts#L886-L891

(or we can just pass update showInReview to be a required param but keep it nullable)

@bernhardoj Thanks for the proposal

Your proposal fix the issue on report preview but not on LHN. Can you also fix it?

I'm not sure if we should show the RBR on the workspace chat. In this PR, they mention that the RBR should show on the workspace chat, but this comment says otherwise.

NOTE: the previous logic before the PR also doesn't show expense report violations RBR on workspace chat.

[ahmedGaber93]

they mention that the RBR should show on the workspace chat, but this https://github.com/Expensify/App/pull/51893#issuecomment-2468956992 says otherwise.

I think they said it should show on some cases only

@iwiznia Just for confirmation, in the duplication violations case, should we show RBR on the workspace chat on LHN?

[iwiznia]

Yes, RBRs in the LHN should only show in the workspace chat

[ahmedGaber93]

Thanks for confirmation

[ahmedGaber93]

@bernhardoj Bump for this change https://github.com/Expensify/App/issues/52243#issuecomment-2483225270
