Proposal

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

Infinite loading and no error message displayed when typing an incorrect Magic Code on login screen.

What is the root cause of that problem?

Regression from: #52822

After login and enter the wrong magic code, we'll trigger update the failureData in

App/src/libs/actions/OnyxUpdates.ts

Line 55 in e5108a1

return updateHandler(request.failureData);

the failureData should update the isLoading to false

The queuedOnyxUpdates contains the Onyx.merge for account data, but at that time, currentAccountID is undefined, so we will filter out all key except preservedKeys. Unfortunately, preservedKeys doesn't contain account

App/src/libs/actions/QueuedOnyxUpdates.ts

Line 39 in e5108a1

queuedOnyxUpdates = queuedOnyxUpdates.filter((update) => preservedKeys.includes(update.key as OnyxKey));

so we still see the loading state

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

1. We can add account to preservedKeys
2. We can add account conditionally when account.isLoading is true (that means the user is logging in)

What specific scenarios should we cover in automated tests to prevent reintroducing this issue in the future?

We should update QueuedOnyxUpdatesTest.ts to cover this case.

What alternative solutions did you explore? (Optional)
