I simulated the customer steps here by signing-up on Classic and turning my network to crappy 3G:

1. Sign-up on Classic (use a private domain so you don't get redirected)
2. Click Support > Concierge
3. Transition to NewDot
4. Landed in an optimistic Concierge chat
5. Eventually that chat did disappear though, but for the customer it didn't.

@suneox, @trjExpensify, @thienlnam Whoops! This issue is 2 days overdue. Let's get this updated quick!

[suneox]

We’re still looking for a proposal. I can simulate the issue with the following steps:

1. Sign out from the new dot.
2. Click Support > Concierge from the old dot.
3. Simulate a slow network connection.

@thienlnam is this actually going to be external?

[huult]

I can reproduce this issue and I am investigating it. Please give me more time; I will post a proposal soon.

Sure thing!

[melvin-bot]

📣 It's been a week! Do we have any satisfactory proposals yet? Do we need to adjust the bounty for this issue? 💸

[trjExpensify]

@huult can you provide an update?

[huult]

@trjExpensify I'm still investigating and find RCA.
Summarize what I know: After logging in, the Concierge report is added to the list of reports, but that report does not have a chatType. I don’t know where the report is handled by code, so I am still investigating to resolve this issue.

[muttmuure]

This is a duplicate of a bug we're already working on #48746

[trjExpensify]

Hm, don't close this until you confirm that. We can put it on hold and retest this flow where we transition with the ShortLivedAuthToken for support.

[huult]

@trjExpensify Can I continue investigating this issue, or is this ticket on hold #48746?

[ugogiordano]

Hello @trjExpensify, could you please review my proposal on issue 44465? It should also address this issue. Thank you!

I'll let @getusha do that. (link to the proposal comment for ease).

[trjExpensify]

@getusha bump on the proposal for the other issue?

[getusha]

@trjExpensify reviewing! i am also trying to reproduce it on dev

[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]

@suneox @trjExpensify @thienlnam 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!

[trjExpensify]

@trjExpensify reviewing! i am also trying to reproduce it on dev

Great, keep me posted!

[suneox]

@MelvinBot Not overdue, we're still waiting for confirmation on whether the proposal from #44465 can resolve the issue

[melvin-bot]

📣 It's been a week! Do we have any satisfactory proposals yet? Do we need to adjust the bounty for this issue? 💸

[wildan-m]

Any idea on how to generate that link with authentication in dev?

I also have solutions here: #44465 (comment)

But it seems the result can be seen if we deploy to staging.

@getusha this is another way to reproduce the duplicate concierge chat issue, but I'm not sure how to reproduce it in dev.

[huult]

@wildan-m Check my comment

[trjExpensify]

^^ @wildan-m if that doesn't do it, bring it out to #expensify-open-source.

[wildan-m]

@huult thanks! that reproduction steps works.

@trjExpensify @getusha @suneox I can confirm this issue shares the same root cause with #44465.

Here is the video that implement one of my solution (Alternative 3) #44465 (comment)

[flaviadefaria]

How are we doing here, if it's the same root cause then should we close this in favor of the proposal in #44465?

[trjExpensify]

Yes, no point having two open. @wildan-m @getusha let's also just make sure both cases are covered in the testing steps of the PR for this.

[trjExpensify]

Closing!
