Proposal

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

Search - Category field is still present after deleting all the categories

What is the root cause of that problem?

Offending PR: #52102
We will show the category menu if the policy category id exist in nonPersonalPolicyCategoryIds

App/src/pages/Search/AdvancedSearchFilters.tsx

Lines 279 to 284 in e3632a9

	const nonPersonalPolicyCategoryIds = Object.values(policies)
	.filter((policy): policy is NonNullable<Policy> => !!(policy && policy.type !== CONST.POLICY.TYPE.PERSONAL))
	.map((policy) => `${ONYXKEYS.COLLECTION.POLICY_CATEGORIES}${policy.id}`);
	const nonPersonalPolicyCategoryCount = Object.keys(allPolicyCategories).filter((policyCategoryId) => nonPersonalPolicyCategoryIds.includes(policyCategoryId)).length;
	const shouldDisplayCategoryFilter = nonPersonalPolicyCategoryCount !== 0 || !!singlePolicyCategories;

When we create new workspace and enable the categories feature, the category menu item will show because the policy category id is exist inside nonPersonalPolicyCategoryIds

App/src/pages/Search/AdvancedSearchFilters.tsx

Line 282 in e3632a9

const nonPersonalPolicyCategoryCount = Object.keys(allPolicyCategories).filter((policyCategoryId) => nonPersonalPolicyCategoryIds.includes(policyCategoryId)).length;

But when we delete all the categories, the policy category id still exists in this allPolicyCategories with empty object value and when when we check if the policy category is exist inside nonPersonalPolicyCategoryIds it will return true which cause this issue

App/src/pages/Search/AdvancedSearchFilters.tsx

Line 282 in e3632a9

const nonPersonalPolicyCategoryCount = Object.keys(allPolicyCategories).filter((policyCategoryId) => nonPersonalPolicyCategoryIds.includes(policyCategoryId)).length;

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

Inside allPolicyCategories we should filter out if the value is empty object

const filteredPoliciyCategories = useMemo(() => Object.values(allPolicyCategories ?? {}).filter((policyCategory) => !isEmptyObject(policyCategory)), [allPolicyCategories])

OR

const nonPersonalPolicyCategoryCount = Object.keys(allPolicyCategories).filter(
    (policyCategoryId) => nonPersonalPolicyCategoryIds.includes(policyCategoryId) && !isEmptyObject(allPolicyCategories[policyCategoryId]),
).length;

const shouldDisplayCategoryFilter = nonPersonalPolicyCategoryCount !== 0 || !!singlePolicyCategories;

What alternative solutions did you explore? (Optional)

[MariaHCD]

Since this is a bug from #52102 and we're still in the regression period, the original PR author will be handling the fix for this.

[Kicu]

[Kicu]

Please assign me, I will provide a fix for this.
That being said I don't think this is necessarily a deploy blocker, maybe @luacmartins you can verify

[luacmartins]

Yea, this is not a blocker. Assigning it to you @Kicu

[SzymczakJ]

@Kicu asked me to take a look at it, I think that solution that @NJ-2020 proposed is good(also tested it) and we should let him open a PR with it 😄
WDYT @luacmartins

[luacmartins]

That works for me

[strepanier03]

Working on this now, the "HOLD" in the title had it hidden from me yesterday and I didn't see it. Sorry for the delay.

[strepanier03]

@NJ-2020 - Can you please share a link to your profile in Upwork? I'm unable to find it to send you an offer. Thanks!

[strepanier03]

@Kicu - I think you're responsible for the checklist, can you take care of that as well?

[NJ-2020]

@strepanier03 Sure here's my upwork profile: https://www.upwork.com/freelancers/~01ff73ff788ecf5f2e

[Kicu]

@strepanier03 I work for SWM, an expert agency as a contractor and I'm also not a C+.
So are you sure that I should take care of the checklist? 😅 I think this is not something we are responsible for.

[strepanier03]

Hmmm, I thought you were the reviewer here; sorry about that, @Kicu. This comment had me a bit turned around I think. I'll figure out who is responsible for it.

[strepanier03]

Hmmm, looks like @Ollyws reviewed the PR.
