We think that this bug might be related to #wave-control

[nkdengineer]

Proposal

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

App crashes.

What is the root cause of that problem?

personalDetails is undefined after we reset cache and restart.

App/src/libs/SearchUtils.ts

Line 702 in b00b9bc

return PersonalDetailsUtils.createDisplayName(personalDetails[filter]?.login ?? '', personalDetails[filter]);

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

Safely get the data here

return PersonalDetailsUtils.createDisplayName(personalDetails?.[filter]?.login ?? '', personalDetails?.[filter]);

App/src/libs/SearchUtils.ts

Line 702 in b00b9bc

return PersonalDetailsUtils.createDisplayName(personalDetails[filter]?.login ?? '', personalDetails[filter]);

Or we can set the default value of personalDetails as empty object.

What alternative solutions did you explore? (Optional)

It might be related to this PR #48566

[techievivek]

I’ll assign this to @lakchote, as it’s related to the search feature. He can decide whether to pass this to external or handle all these minor bugs in a single PR.

[lakchote]

@nkdengineer can you work on this quickly?

Proposal

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

App crashes after saving search with user and clear cache and restart

What is the root cause of that problem?

personalDetails returns undefined due to the data being cleared in storage.

App/src/components/Search/SearchPageHeader.tsx

Line 132 in 19d037b

const personalDetails = usePersonalDetails();

and error occurs when getting data at this line.

App/src/libs/SearchUtils.ts

Line 702 in 19d037b

return PersonalDetailsUtils.createDisplayName(personalDetails[filter]?.login ?? '', personalDetails[filter]);

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

We set the value EMPTY_OBJECT for personalDetails.

// .src/components/Search/SearchPageHeader.tsx#L132
- const personalDetails = usePersonalDetails();
+ const personalDetails = usePersonalDetails() || CONST.EMPTY_OBJECT;

What alternative solutions did you explore? (Optional)

[nkdengineer]

@lakchote Sure.

Proposal

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

• App crashes after saving search with user and clear cache and restart

What is the root cause of that problem?

• cardList passed here is emptyObject after clearing cache and restart
  

  App/src/libs/SearchUtils.ts

  Lines 700 to 711 in 19d037b

  	function getDisplayValue(filterName: string, filter: string, personalDetails: OnyxTypes.PersonalDetailsList, cardList: OnyxTypes.CardList, reports: OnyxCollection<OnyxTypes.Report>) {
  	if (filterName === CONST.SEARCH.SYNTAX_FILTER_KEYS.FROM || filterName === CONST.SEARCH.SYNTAX_FILTER_KEYS.TO) {
  	return PersonalDetailsUtils.createDisplayName(personalDetails[filter]?.login ?? '', personalDetails[filter]);
  	}
  	if (filterName === CONST.SEARCH.SYNTAX_FILTER_KEYS.CARD_ID) {
  	return cardList[filter].bank;
  	}
  	if (filterName === CONST.SEARCH.SYNTAX_FILTER_KEYS.IN) {
  	return ReportUtils.getReportName(reports?.[`${ONYXKEYS.COLLECTION.REPORT}${filter}`]);
  	}
  	return filter;
  	}

• and we are not making use of optional chaining for cardList

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

• Make use of optional chaining while reading data from cardList

        return cardList?.[filter].bank;

App/src/libs/SearchUtils.ts

Line 705 in 19d037b

return cardList[filter].bank;
