Seeing as this is a bottom-up flow, I think #convert makes most sense

[waynebloom]

Hello, brand new contributor here 👋

I would like to investigate this issue in order to submit a proposal, but as a brand new contributor I do not have access to the Hybrid project. I didn't see details in the contributor guide for how to request access, so I am unsure if this is the proper place to do that.

[melvin-bot]

@MitchExpensify, @dominictb Huh... This is 4 days overdue. Who can take care of this?

[MitchExpensify]

@waynebloom I'm not sure what you mean by "I do not have access to the Hybrid project", can you please clarify?

[melvin-bot]

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

[melvin-bot]

@MitchExpensify, @dominictb Still overdue 6 days?! Let's take care of this!

According to the logs provides, the cause for the crash seems to be this:

[melvin-bot]

@MitchExpensify, @dominictb Now this issue is 8 days overdue. Are you sure this should be a Daily? Feel free to change it!

[pac-guerreiro]

Still working on this! Yesterday I had to jump into an infinite re-render issue that was critical. Today I'll focus on this 🫡

[melvin-bot]

@MitchExpensify @dominictb this issue was created 2 weeks ago. Are we close to approving a proposal? If not, what's blocking us from getting this issue assigned? Don't hesitate to create a thread in #expensify-open-source to align faster in real time. Thanks!

[pac-guerreiro]

Last friday I found out that the problem is caused by receipt.source being a number instead of a string, as expected.

Today, I saw that issue lies on the snapshot_ collection, because on the transaction object we have the right string.

This is the transaction object in snapshot collection:

I need help from someone with access to the backend to confirm if the API is sending the correct data

[MitchExpensify]

@pac-guerreiro Have you asked someone for help with the backend already?

[pac-guerreiro]

I asked for help on expensify-callstack channel, but no one specifically

[MitchExpensify]

Ok let me know if nobody jumps in to help and I can help recruit someone

[melvin-bot]

@MitchExpensify, @dominictb 12 days overdue now... This issue's end is nigh!

[melvin-bot]

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

[dominictb]

Initial investigation indicates that this is related to BE. We need an internal engineer to take a look at #55459 (comment).

🎀👀🎀

[melvin-bot]

Current assignee @luacmartins is eligible for the choreEngineerContributorManagement assigner, not assigning anyone new.

[melvin-bot]

@luacmartins, @MitchExpensify, @dominictb Eep! 4 days overdue now. Issues have feelings too...

[MitchExpensify]

@pac-guerreiro you have help here from @luacmartins , what do we need to do to push this forward?

[pac-guerreiro]

@MitchExpensify @luacmartins I need to understand if the problem lies on the BE or the FE. For that I need confirmation from BE side that they're sending the proper data. If not, I'll need to check what's causing the wrong data on the FE side 😄

[luacmartins]

Looking at this now

[luacmartins]

Hmm Distance requests are not working for me in dev. Asked about it here

[melvin-bot]
