[lanitochka17]

@sonialiap FYI I haven't added the External label as I wasn't 100% sure about this issue. Please take a look and add the label if you agree it's a bug and can be handled by external contributors

[lanitochka17]

We think that this bug might be related to #wave-collect - Release 1

Proposal

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

Next button not fully visible after returning online

What is the root cause of that problem?

StepScreenWrapper by default adds safeAreaPaddingBottom that overlaps the bottom button in request pages

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

We will pass includeSafeAreaPaddingBottom={false} to StepScreenWrapper in affected pages in IOU request steps.

Proposal

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

Native small screens - Submit expense - Next button not fully visible after returning online

What is the root cause of that problem?

Currently when we are using "small screens" (or native screens) the MapView try to use the space available to render itself, this space is calculated by the ScreenWrapper component based in the initialHeight (in this case) and the children components.

The issue is for native screens when we render the map the first time (when online) we take the all available space, but then when we go offline we show/render an offline indicator, this makes the available height reduced (so we see the map pending indicator a bit short than the map), then when we go online the map try to recover its original height (but now we have less height space due the offline indicators) and move down the next button.

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

We should set the height of each container with percents to fix this issue in IOURequestStepDistance and also in MoneyRequestAmountForm, to keep next button aligned.

The changes should be in

App/src/pages/iou/request/step/IOURequestStepDistance.tsx

Line 437 in 66b4072

<View style={styles.flex1}>

<View style={Platform.OS === 'web' ? styles.flex1 : [styles.dBlock, styles.w100, {height: '85%'}]}>

And in

App/src/pages/iou/request/step/IOURequestStepDistance.tsx

Line 454 in 66b4072

<View style={[styles.w100, styles.pt2]}>

<View style={(styles.dBlock, styles.w100, styles.pt2, Platform.OS !== 'web' ? {height: '15%'} : {})}>

Also in

App/src/pages/iou/MoneyRequestAmountForm.tsx

Lines 302 to 306 in 66b4072

	<View
	onMouseDown={(event) => onMouseDown(event, [NUM_PAD_CONTAINER_VIEW_ID, NUM_PAD_VIEW_ID])}
	style={[styles.w100, styles.justifyContentEnd, styles.pageWrapper, styles.pt0]}
	id={NUM_PAD_CONTAINER_VIEW_ID}
	>

<View
                onMouseDown={(event) => onMouseDown(event, [NUM_PAD_CONTAINER_VIEW_ID, NUM_PAD_VIEW_ID])}
                style={[styles.w100, styles.justifyContentEnd, styles.pageWrapper, styles.pt0, Platform.OS !== 'web' ? [styles.dBlock, styles.w100, {height: '40%'}] : {}]}
                id={NUM_PAD_CONTAINER_VIEW_ID}
            >

And finally in

App/src/pages/iou/MoneyRequestAmountForm.tsx

Line 314 in 66b4072

<View style={styles.w100}>

:

<View style={[styles.w100, Platform.OS !== 'web' ? {height: '40%'} : {}]}>

This way we going to force to react native to recalculate the height of the component even when offline indicator are not displayed (when they doesn't exists in the rendered components).

Tests:

Before changes:

Map.view.overlap.next.button.-.test.before.changes.mp4

After changes

next.button.moved.test.mp4

@eVoloshchak, @sonialiap Huh... This is 4 days overdue. Who can take care of this?

[sonialiap]

@eVoloshchak what do you think of the above proposal?

[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]

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

[eVoloshchak]

@neonbhai, I've applied your proposal to IOURequestStepDistance, but it doesn't resolve the issue, could you re-test this please?

@samilabud, thank you for the thorough explanation!

We should determinate in IOURequestStepDistance if we are using small screens and if so calculate the height of the map based in percent of the screen height resting the height of the offline indicator to guarantee the space height when the map hide/show (re-renders)

Can we make the map view fill all the available space?
The problem with calculating its height manually is it's prone to breakage in the future. If we change the font size, number of lines, height of offline indicator, or add another button below the map view - the calculation will become wrong

[samilabud]

The problem with calculating its height manually

Good point, I will try to do a formula to calculate the height based to the current calculation that we do in ScreenWrapper, this way I think this going to persist good in the future.

[samilabud]

Can we make the map view fill all the available space?

At the end the only way I found was using flexbox, I have updated my proposal, please check it out 🙏🏼:

Updated

[melvin-bot]

@eVoloshchak, @sonialiap Whoops! This issue is 2 days overdue. Let's get this updated quick!

[eVoloshchak]

@jscoder2151, I've applied your solution, but it seems there is an issue with the Next button placement

Screenshot

[eVoloshchak]

@samilabud, same issue with your updated proposal, I do think this might be due to recent changes to Forms component on main
Could you double-check your proposals with the latest sources from main please?

@eVoloshchak @sonialiap 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!

[samilabud]

Could you double-check your proposals with the latest sources from main please?

Thank you for checking out, definitely there was a change I have updated my proposal and there are new tests videos.

Also I created this draft if helps: #42442

[sonialiap]

@VictoriaExpensify I'm OOO Aug 19-30, adding leave buddy.
Status: I think we're getting close to payment

[melvin-bot]

@eVoloshchak, @Julesssss, @sonialiap, @VictoriaExpensify, @QichenZhu Whoops! This issue is 2 days overdue. Let's get this updated quick!

[QichenZhu]

react-native-pager-view 6.3.4 has an issue callstack/react-native-pager-view#836 (comment) on Android and there is an open PR #47948.

Please let me know if we should roll back the upgrade and use patch-package instead, or if there's something else I can do to help.

[melvin-bot]

⚠️ Looks like this issue was linked to a Deploy Blocker here

If you are the assigned CME please investigate whether the linked PR caused a regression and leave a comment with the results.

If a regression has occurred and you are the assigned CM follow the instructions here.

If this regression could have been avoided please consider also proposing a recommendation to the PR checklist so that we can avoid it in the future.

[sonialiap]

@Julesssss thoughts on this having a regression?

[Julesssss]

Hey @sonialiap, I don't think we need a test for this specific case

[sonialiap]

@Julesssss sorry, I was unclear. This issue is linked to a deploy blocker so I was looking to clarify if this issue had a regression

[Julesssss]

@sonialiap I don't think so. So @QichenZhu's proposal was correct, but due to other bugs in the upstream library (and a combination of the large RN version bump) we had to revert the change. I think the next step should be to decide on one of the following options:

• Reattempt to bump the library
• Apply a patch fix

@QichenZhu does the first option sound good to you? If so we can double the bounty due to the time/effort spent on this issue.

[QichenZhu]

@Julesssss Yes, I'm happy to go with the first option. Thank you very much!

[sonialiap]

Thanks, Jules :)

[QichenZhu]

#48169 already bumped the library version, so no PR is needed here.

[sonialiap]

@Julesssss Qichen mentioned that the library was bumped. What should be the next step? Do we need to re-attempt the fix for this issue, or do we need to test to see if the issue was resolved with the upstream update?

[Julesssss]

Do we need to re-attempt the fix for this issue, or do we need to test to see if the issue was resolved with the upstream update?

Lets test to see if the issue has been resolved.

It looks fixed to me on Android, I'll test my iOS device in a few hours once it's charged.

[Julesssss]

iOS looks good too

[Julesssss]

I forgot about payment, I think we can ignore the 7 day hold

[melvin-bot]

This issue has not been updated in over 15 days. @eVoloshchak, @Julesssss, @sonialiap, @QichenZhu eroding to Monthly issue.

P.S. Is everyone reading this sure this is really a near-term priority? Be brave: if you disagree, go ahead and close it out. If someone disagrees, they'll reopen it, and if they don't: one less thing to do!

[Julesssss]

@sonialiap I think we are good to pay out

[sonialiap]

Thanks @Julesssss!
