This is only afftecting expensifail accounts, so I think this might be related to this PR #2612 CC @marcaaron @Julesssss @francoisl

[roryabraham]

Since this is only occurring for accounts on the IOU beta, does it need to be a deploy blocker?

Triggered auto assignment to @zanyrenney (AutoAssignerTriage), see https://stackoverflow.com/c/expensify/questions/4749 for more details.

Since this is only occurring for accounts on the IOU beta, does it need to be a deploy blocker?

Probably not, but that does include all @expensify/@expensifail users -- which is probably a large proportion of current users.

FYI @trjExpensify

I've added this issue to the IOU parent tracker.

[trjExpensify]

Cool, sounds good. Agree this is a N5 blocker 👍

[alex-mechler]

Been a minute since I've been in the e.cash code, but I've been itching to get back in so I'll keep this one myself

[trjExpensify]

Baller. That'll be a huge help for N5 bud!

[alex-mechler]

@isagoico are you still able to reproduce this? I just tested following the steps and I was not able to. This was in a fresh incognito window

[isagoico]

I'm unable to reproduce anymore too 🤯 I tried on the same I account I was able to reproduce before and in a new one and nothing. Maybe some change fixed it?

[alex-mechler]

Ahahahah, it happens. Probably something fixed it unintentionally. If you see this popping back up feel free to reopen it!

[trjExpensify]

Happy days!

Reopening this issue since I was able to reproduce on this account (isagoicotest@gmail.com / 123456Isa)

So apparently when login out and then back in with a different account the user is taken to the previous chat (from the other account) So what I did to repro this issue again without the need to log out and in on my test account was.

1. Log in as isagoicotest@gmail.com / 123456Isa
2. Change the URL to https://staging.expensify.cash/r/73550298

[marcaaron]

I think this might be related -> #2642

It can be hard to reproduce but happens most often when we are quickly logging out soon after logging in while network requests are in transit.

[alex-mechler]

That would make sense. If we are signing out while writing the last viewed report to Onyx, it might not get cleared.

[alex-mechler]

Digging into this, it seems unrelated. I was watching my localstorage the whole time, and report 254 was out of my local storage when signing into an account without access to it, yet it still was the report I was brought to.

[alex-mechler]

Figured out what was happening, posted in slack to see if we can just remove the _.once wrapper
