Proposal

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

Request a new magic code does not clear sign in form errors on other tab.

What is the root cause of that problem?

When user opens an expired link, and clicks request a new code here!, This calls Session.resendValidateCode(), which clears error field in ONYXKEYS.ACCOUNT key in onyx datastore.

hasError in BaseValidateCodeForm is based on this, but errorText is dependent based on formError in the component state which is not updated when we request magic code from other component.

App/src/pages/signin/ValidateCodeForm/BaseValidateCodeForm.js

Lines 246 to 247 in e6c4b4e

	errorText={formError.validateCode ? props.translate(formError.validateCode) : ''}
	hasError={hasError}

MagicCodeInput just depend on formError prop therefore this error error is not cleared.

App/src/components/MagicCodeInput.js

Line 354 in e6c4b4e

{!_.isEmpty(props.errorText) && (

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

There are two props related to error field. hasError and errorText. I believe, it should be enough to just rely on hasError to display error message. In fact these two props should be synced, i.e., when hasError is true, errorText should contain an error message, and when it is false, it should be empty.

These are the changes:

1. Add extra condition on Line354

{props.hasError && !_.isEmpty(props.errorText) && ( 

2. Fix this condition with and
   

   App/src/components/MagicCodeInput.js

   Line 316 in e6c4b4e

   props.hasError || props.errorText ? styles.borderColorDanger : {},

props.hasError && props.errorText ? styles.borderColorDanger : {},

What alternative solutions did you explore? (Optional)

None

Proposal

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

Requesting magic code from 'Magic code' page doesn't clear all sing-in errors

What is the root cause of that problem?

We're using component state to show the error

App/src/pages/signin/ValidateCodeForm/BaseValidateCodeForm.js

Lines 232 to 233 in 9bef507

	errorText={formError.twoFactorAuthCode ? props.translate(formError.twoFactorAuthCode) : ''}
	hasError={hasError}

we just only clear error state when users click Didn't receive a magic code? on login page.

That why when users click resend validate code from Magic code page, the errors still are shown in the login page.

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

change function resendValidateCode to

    const resendValidateCode = () => {
        User.resendValidateCode(props.credentials.login, true);
    };

move other code to new function like clearData, then execute this function when props.account.loadingForm === CONST.FORMS.VALIDATE_CODE_FORM

     useEffect(()=>{
        if(props.account.loadingForm === CONST.FORMS.VALIDATE_CODE_FORM){
            clearData()
        }
    },[props.account.loadingForm])

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

[melvin-bot]

@JmillsExpensify, @twisterdotcom, @aimane-chnaif Eep! 4 days overdue now. Issues have feelings too...

[Natnael-Guchima]

@JmillsExpensify the link is removed from the page on the latest PR. I don't think there is a need to pursue this issue.

[twisterdotcom]

We implemented the timer, but you see, I requested a new code in the tab on the right here, but it didn't clear the error in the tab on the left:

I think @tienifr's proposal would do that, which is a neat improvement right? We just need @aimane-chnaif to review it.
