Proposal

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

NetSuite - "Can't connect to NetSuite" message appears after connecting

What is the root cause of that problem?

In here, we're showing the error if policy?.connections?.[CONST.POLICY.CONNECTIONS.NAME.NETSUITE]?.verified === false, this logic was added to show the authentication error if the user enters the wrong credentials in this PR (#47059). However, this logic is redundant since we already have a condition to check wrong credentials right before this block here:

App/src/pages/workspace/accounting/utils.tsx

Line 260 in 3488695

if (isAuthenticationError(policy, connectionName)) {

Because of that, when 2 Pusher events arrived later. We will briefly see the error because the connection object contains verified: false and the other contains verified: true.

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

Remove policy?.connections?.[CONST.POLICY.CONNECTIONS.NAME.NETSUITE]?.verified === false from this condition since it's redundant.

After that, we also need to update hasSynchronizationErrorMessage to handle the logic of showing RBR as well.

What alternative solutions did you explore? (Optional)

As I checked, the response of NetSuite connection is almost the same as other connections, we can consider removing this condition and handling Netsuite like other connections.
We also need to update hasSynchronizationErrorMessage to handle the logic of showing RBR as well.

How do I get the NetSuite credentials?

[sonialiap]

Checking if we have test credentials
