@Christinadobrzyn 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

Proposal

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

App returns to previous conversation instead of self-DM after leaving self-DM thread

What is the root cause of that problem?

we dont consider the self dm when calculating the lastAccessedReportID here which was added in this PR:

App/src/libs/actions/Report.ts

Lines 2363 to 2379 in 26ab4aa

    
           // We want to filter out the current report, hidden reports and empty chats 
        
           const filteredReportsByLastRead = sortedReportsByLastRead.filter( 
        
               (sortedReport) => 
        
                   sortedReport?.reportID !== reportID && 
        
                   sortedReport?.notificationPreference !== CONST.REPORT.NOTIFICATION_PREFERENCE.HIDDEN && 
        
                   ReportUtils.shouldReportBeInOptionList({ 
        
                       report: sortedReport, 
        
                       currentReportId: '', 
        
                       isInGSDMode: false, 
        
                       betas: [], 
        
                       policies: {}, 
        
                       excludeEmptyChats: true, 
        
                       doesReportHaveViolations: false, 
        
                   }), 
        
           ); 
        
           const lastAccessedReportID = filteredReportsByLastRead.at(-1)?.reportID;

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

we need to add includeSelfDM: true, to the shouldReportBeInOptionList function input above

Proposal

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

Self - DM - App returns to previous conversation instead of self-DM after leaving self-DM thread

What is the root cause of that problem?

In here, we allow user to leave in case of selfDM 's thread.
And when leaving room, we do not include the selfDM in here, that leads to the bug.

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

We should not allow user to leave the selftDM 's thread because the self-DM is the spot for private notes. We can do it by update this to:

    const outerMostReportID = last(getAllAncestorReportActionIDs(report).reportIDs)
    const isSelfDMThread = ReportUtils.isSelfDM(getReport(outerMostReportID))
    const canJoinOrLeave = !isSelfDMThread && !isSelfDM && (isChatThread || isUserCreatedPolicyRoom || canLeaveRoom);

What alternative solutions did you explore? (Optional)

Additonally, because the self-DM is the spot for private notes, so we should not display the selfDM 's threads in LHN. We can do it by adding the below logic to this one:

    const outerMostReportID = last(getAllAncestorReportActionIDs(report).reportIDs);
    const isSelfDMThread = isSelfDM(getReport(outerMostReportID));
    if (isSelfDMThread) {
        return false;
    }

Proposal

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

App returns to previous conversation instead of self-DM after leaving self-DM thread

What is the root cause of that problem?

We have not set includeSelfDM to true in shouldReportBeInOptionList:

App/src/libs/actions/Report.ts

Lines 2348 to 2357 in 399077f

    
                   ReportUtils.shouldReportBeInOptionList({ 
        
                       report: sortedReport, 
        
                       currentReportId: '', 
        
                       isInGSDMode: false, 
        
                       betas: [], 
        
                       policies: {}, 
        
                       excludeEmptyChats: true, 
        
                       doesReportHaveViolations: false, 
        
                   }), 
        
           );

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

When saw other pages which use shouldReportBeInOptionList we pass the value of includeSelfDM as true everywhere.

App/src/libs/SidebarUtils.ts

Lines 85 to 93 in 399077f

    
           return ReportUtils.shouldReportBeInOptionList({ 
        
               report, 
        
               currentReportId: currentReportId ?? '', 
        
               isInGSDMode, 
        
               betas, 
        
               policies, 
        
               excludeEmptyChats: true, 
        
               doesReportHaveViolations, 
        
               includeSelfDM: true,

App/src/libs/OptionsListUtils.ts

Lines 1451 to 1459 in 399077f

    
           return ReportUtils.shouldReportBeInOptionList({ 
        
               report, 
        
               currentReportId: Navigation.getTopmostReportId() ?? '', 
        
               betas, 
        
               policies, 
        
               doesReportHaveViolations, 
        
               isInGSDMode: false, 
        
               excludeEmptyChats: false, 
        
               includeSelfDM,

App/src/libs/OptionsListUtils.ts

Lines 1451 to 1459 in 399077f

    
           return ReportUtils.shouldReportBeInOptionList({ 
        
               report, 
        
               currentReportId: Navigation.getTopmostReportId() ?? '', 
        
               betas, 
        
               policies, 
        
               doesReportHaveViolations, 
        
               isInGSDMode: false, 
        
               excludeEmptyChats: false, 
        
               includeSelfDM,

So to avoid redundancy of code i propose that we update the shouldReportBeInOptionList function itself to set the default value of includeSelfDM to true, currently it is set to false:

App/src/libs/ReportUtils.ts

Lines 4176 to 4185 in 399077f

    
           function shouldReportBeInOptionList({ 
        
               report, 
        
               currentReportId, 
        
               isInGSDMode, 
        
               betas, 
        
               policies, 
        
               excludeEmptyChats, 
        
               doesReportHaveViolations, 
        
               includeSelfDM = false, 
        
           }: {

Then we remove the redundant part of the code in every component

@luacmartins @Santhosh-Sellavel Should we hide the "Leave" option in case of selfDM? May be it is related to this comment

Santhosh-Sellavel · 2024-03-25T18:16:08Z

Should we hide the "Leave" option in case of selfDM?

Yes for self-dm we should hide leave, not for self-dm thread

nkdengineer · 2024-03-25T18:21:27Z

Yeah, I mean that selfDM 's threads. Because, self-DM is the spot for private notes, only current users can access it, and its thread as well. So I think the "leave" or "join" options in self-DM are redundant

Santhosh-Sellavel · 2024-03-25T18:45:18Z

We can invite any users to specific threads. So Leave or Join makes sense to me, I'll let the team decide on it

cc: @luacmartins

luacmartins · 2024-03-25T19:00:48Z

Yea, agreed that we should hide those buttons for selfDM threads too. @Santhosh-Sellavel do you need to revise the approved proposal based on this?

shubham1206agra · 2024-03-26T01:02:26Z

@luacmartins I thought we could invite anyone on the thread related to self-DM but not self-DM itself.
