[roryabraham]

not sure this needs to be a blocker

[roryabraham]

Curious for design input ... what should we display when you upload an image and then delete it, all offline? What should be the "strikethrough" equivalent for images?

[dubielzyk-expensify]

Good question. There's a few things we could do:
A) Delete it altogether and not show it
B) Put some sort of visual treatment over it similar to what we do with the offline thumbnail. So something like the mock to the complete right:

I'm leaning B so that we're consistent with the other offline behaviours of strikethroughs etc.

Proposal

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

Chat - File does not appear with strikethrough style when uploaded offline and deleted

What is the root cause of that problem?

We aren't handling deleted state for attachments.

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

• In AnchorRenderer we have the parentStyle which is being used to check if the action is deleted or not, we can pass hasStrikethroughStyle to AnchorForAttachmentsOnly and then to DefaultAttachmentView.
  

  App/src/components/HTMLEngineProvider/HTMLRenderers/AnchorRenderer.tsx

  Lines 58 to 59 in e0f17df

  	const hasStrikethroughStyle = 'textDecorationLine' in parentStyle && parentStyle.textDecorationLine === 'line-through';
  	const textDecorationLineStyle = hasStrikethroughStyle ? styles.underlineLineThrough : {};

• In DefaultAttachmentView we can use the prop isDeleted (hasStrikethroughStyle) to apply the line through styles. isDeleted && styles.lineThrough
  

  App/src/components/Attachments/AttachmentView/DefaultAttachmentView/index.tsx

  Line 43 in e0f17df

  <Text style={[styles.textStrong, styles.flexShrink1, styles.breakAll, styles.flexWrap, styles.mw100]}>{fileName}</Text>

• We can also do the same for image and video renderers. In ImageRenderer we can create a variable isDeleted just like we created that for hasStrikethroughStyle in AnchorRenderer. Then we can pass isDeleted to ThumbnailImage and use that prop in ThumbnailImage to render delete icon when true.

• We also need to remove isUploading check from AttachmentCommentFragment otherwise the stylings will be only applied when attachment is uploaded and deleted in offline mode.

App/src/pages/home/report/comment/AttachmentCommentFragment.tsx

Line 18 in e0f17df

const htmlContent = styleAsDeleted && isUploading ? `<del>${html}</del>` : html;

• Test branch

Note: Test branch only fixes for attachments and images. We should also check for other components in AttachmentView and should also apply the change for videos if required.

What alternative solutions did you explore? (Optional)

[Krishna2323]

@roryabraham, I don't think this is a regression. The same can be reproduced on production, only difference is that we were showing uploading attachment... text before and now we have a preview for attachments in offline mode also.

@mananjadhav please complete the checklist before November 5th so I can issue payment - Thank you! 😃

[mananjadhav]

I would treat this more of a feature request. But I think we should add a regression test for this one.

@OfstadC here's the regression test proposal:

1. Go to any chat
2. Upload a file (format: .txt/.html/.zip/)
3. Upload image & video
4. Go offline
5. Right click on the file
6. Click Delete comment
7. Verify an overlay with trash icon is shown for deleted video & image and the filename is crossed for the other file. (format: .txt/.html/.zip/)
8. Stay offline and repeat step 2 to 7
