@puneetlath 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.

[m-natarajan]

We think this bug might be related to #vip-vsb

[twisterdotcom]

I can actually never get this to work if I'm not a member of the room already, I ALWAYS hit this {"jsonCode":407,"title":"Session expired","message":"Your session has expired. Please sign in again.","requestID":"87beeeb619a894a6-LHR"}

[twisterdotcom]

Sometimes I'll get

{"code":666,"jsonCode":403,"type":"Expensify\Libs\Error\ExpError","UUID":"da7984df-628f-41f6-a2b8-ecd4499f7975","message":"Report not found","title":"","data":{"onyxData":[{"onyxMethod":"merge","key":"report_0","value":{"errorFields":{"notFound":{"1714390877809894":"Report not found"}}}}]},"htmlMessage":"","requestID":"87bf05a98be594a6-LHR"}` as well.

Triggered auto assignment to Contributor-plus team member for initial proposal review - @Ollyws (External)

[twisterdotcom]

@puneetlath and @Ollyws - any idea why this regression is happening?

[twisterdotcom]

@MonilBhavsar are we reverting #40701 - do we need somebody assigned here externally or not?

[Nodebrute]

@twisterdotcom I think this should be resolved here #41128

[MonilBhavsar]

are we reverting #40701 - do we need somebody assigned here externally or not?

No, because it didn't cause or reverting it doesn't fix this issue
#40701 (comment)

[twisterdotcom]

Okay, so it's not due to #40701 and @MonilBhavsar doesn't think it's resolved by #41128, so we definitely need to look into this.

[melvin-bot]

Current assignee @Ollyws is eligible for the Internal assigner, not assigning anyone new.

[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.

[MonilBhavsar]

Tested and it works fine now

I don't think @Ollyws needs paying out here, this was reviewed by @puneetlath.

@MonilBhavsar or @puneetlath do we need a test here too? I think we already have tests but perhaps we could just use the QA steps from #40701?

1. Create a public room as an admin
2. As a user A, join the public room
3. Copy the public room URL and signout
4. Paste the URL and signin
5. Leave the room
6. Ensure you're redirected to Concierge chat
7. As a user A, join the public room again
8. This time visit two other reports - X and Y and then go to public room
9. Leave the room
10. Ensure you're redirected to report Y
11. Create a group as an admin with user A and user B
12. As a user B visit the group
13. Click on group title and Leave the group
14. Ensure you're redirected to last visited report

[MonilBhavsar]

Yes, looks good 👍

[puneetlath]

Sounds good to me!

[twisterdotcom]

All done
