Explanation of Change

When an invoice is created offline, buildOnyxDataForInvoice (SendInvoice.ts) writes the invoice report and the new invoice room as optimistic reports (isOptimisticReport: true) but — unlike every other money-request creation flow — it never stamps RAM_ONLY_REPORT_LOADING_STATE.hasOnceLoadedReportActions: true.

The invoice room is a CHAT (chatType INVOICE), and ReportFetchHandler deliberately never calls openReport for an optimistic chat report, so nothing ever writes that flag. Worse, the fetch handler keeps re-arming isLoadingInitialReportActions back to true while hasOnceLoadedReportActions is false. So once the user reconnects and opens the invoice, the report is pinned in a loading state and shows an infinite skeleton. Because the create was rejected server-side (invalid company website), the report exists only in local Onyx, which is why clearing the cache makes it disappear.

This brings buildOnyxDataForInvoice to parity with the expense flow in MoneyRequestBuilder: stamp hasOnceLoadedReportActions: true in optimisticData for both the invoice report and the newly-created invoice room. The optimistic data is already the complete local truth for these reports, so "loaded" is correct from creation. Once the wait ends, the invoice room renders its locally-written created action, whose existing OfflineWithFeedback surfaces the errorFields.createChat red-brick-road error that failureData already writes. isOptimisticReport and failureData are intentionally left untouched so clearCreateChatError's dismiss-and-delete behavior is preserved.

Fixed Issues

$ #96925
PROPOSAL: #96925 (comment)

Tests

  1. Go offline.
  2. Click FAB > Invoice.
  3. Create an invoice with a valid user who is not a member of the workspace, and enter an invalid website address in the company address (e.g. www.none.com).
  4. Go online.
  5. Open the invoice created in step 3.
  6. Verify no infinite loading skeleton appears — the invoice renders and its red-brick-road creation error is visible.
  7. Verify the created invoice is dismissable (dismiss-and-delete of the failed local invoice still works).
  • Verify that no errors appear in the JS console

Offline tests

Same as the Tests steps above — the repro requires creating the invoice while offline, then going online.

QA Steps

  1. Go offline.
  2. Click FAB > Invoice.
  3. Create an invoice with a valid user who is not a member of the workspace, and enter an invalid website address in the company address (e.g. www.none.com).
  4. Go online.
  5. Open the invoice created in step 3.
  6. Verify no infinite loading appears and the invoice's creation error is shown instead.
  • Verify that no errors appear in the JS console

    • I added steps to cover failure scenarios (i.e. verify an input displays the correct error message if the entered data is not correct)
    • I turned off my network connection and tested it while offline to ensure it matches the expected behavior (i.e. verify the default avatar icon is displayed if app is offline)
    • I tested this PR with a High Traffic account against the staging or production API to ensure there are no regressions (e.g. long loading states that impact usability).
  • I included screenshots or videos for tests on all platforms
  • I ran the tests on all platforms & verified they passed on:
    • Android: Native
    • Android: mWeb Chrome
    • iOS: Native

  • I followed proper code patterns (see Reviewing the code)
    • I verified that comments were added to code that is not self explanatory
    • I verified that any new or modified comments were clear, correct English, and explained "why" the code was doing something instead of only explaining "what" the code was doing.
    • I verified any copy / text that was added to the app is grammatically correct in English.

  • If a new code pattern is added I verified it was agreed to be used by multiple Expensify engineers
  • I followed the guidelines as stated in the Review Guidelines
  • I tested other components that can be impacted by my changes (i.e. if the PR modifies a shared library or component like Avatar, I verified the components using Avatar are working as expected)
  • If a new CSS style is added I verified that:
    • A similar style doesn't already exist
    • The style can't be created with an existing StyleUtils function (i.e. StyleUtils.getBackgroundAndBorderStyle(theme.componentBG))
  • If new assets were added or existing ones were modified, I verified that:
    • The assets are optimized and compressed (for SVG files, run npm run compress-svg)
    • The assets load correctly across all supported platforms.
  • If the PR modifies code that runs when editing or sending messages, I tested and verified there is no unexpected behavior for all supported markdown - URLs, single line code, code blocks, quotes, headings, bold, strikethrough, and italic.
  • If the PR modifies a generic component, I tested and verified that those changes do not break usages of that component in the rest of the App (i.e. if a shared library or component like Avatar is modified, I verified that Avatar is working as expected in all cases)
  • If the PR modifies a component related to any of the existing Storybook stories, I tested and verified all stories for that component are still working as expected.
  • If the PR modifies a component or page that can be accessed by a direct deeplink, I verified that the code functions as expected when the deeplink is used - from a logged in and logged out account.
  • If the PR modifies the UI (e.g. new buttons, new UI components, changing the padding/spacing/sizing, moving components, etc) or modifies the form input styles:
    • I verified that all the inputs inside a form are aligned with each other.
    • I added Design label and/or tagged @Expensify/design so the design team can review the changes.
  • I added unit tests for any new feature or bug fix in this PR to help automatically prevent regressions in this user flow.
  • If the main branch was merged into this PR after a review, I tested again and verified the outcome was still expected according to the Test steps.

Offline-created invoices never wrote RAM_ONLY_REPORT_LOADING_STATE, so on
reconnect the invoice report and its optimistic invoice room stayed pinned
at isLoadingInitialReportActions and showed an infinite loading skeleton.
Mirror the expense flow in MoneyRequestBuilder by stamping
hasOnceLoadedReportActions: true for both reports in optimisticData.

P2 Badge Preserve invoice readiness across app restarts

If the app or browser restarts after this offline write—particularly before the invalid SendInvoice request is rejected—this value is discarded because src/setup/index.ts registers this collection as RAM-only, and prepareRequest() strips optimisticData from the persisted request. The report, actions, and optimistic metadata remain persisted, so after the queued request fails, ReportFetchHandler still skips openReport() for the optimistic invoice room and re-arms isLoadingInitialReportActions, producing the same infinite skeleton. Reconstruct readiness from the persisted optimistic report/actions on startup, or otherwise make this state survive a restart, rather than relying solely on this RAM-only merge.

Good catch. The creation-time stamp lives in a RAM-only key, so a restart between the offline create and reconnect would drop it and the skeleton would come back.

Fixed by also settling the state on the read side: when ReportFetchHandler intentionally skips openReport for an optimistic chat report, it now reconstructs the readiness stamp (markLocalReportActionsAsLoaded) from the persisted optimistic data, so it no longer depends on the RAM-only value surviving a restart. The creation-time stamp stays for parity with the expense flow and to cover the first session immediately. Added a unit test for the reconstruction path.

…estarts

The creation-time hasOnceLoadedReportActions stamp lives in a RAM-only key,
so an app restart between the offline create and reconnect drops it, and the
queued SendInvoice failure would leave the invoice room pinned on the loading
skeleton again. When ReportFetchHandler intentionally skips openReport for an
optimistic chat report, settle the loading state from the persisted optimistic
data instead of relying solely on the RAM-only stamp.
