Explanation of Change

The "Go back to home page" link on the NotFoundPage was navigating to the Inbox (chat list with a report open) instead of the actual Home dashboard. This happened because FullPageNotFoundView defaults onLinkPress to Navigation.goBackToHome(), which calls goBack(ROUTES.INBOX).

Now that HOME and INBOX are separate tabs, this override passes onLinkPress={() => Navigation.navigate(ROUTES.HOME)} in NotFoundPage so the link correctly navigates to the Home dashboard. This is scoped to NotFoundPage to avoid affecting other callers of goBackToHome() that may intentionally navigate to the Inbox.

Fixed Issues

PROPOSAL: #85222 (comment)

Tests

  1. Navigate to a non-existing URL (e.g., https://dev.new.expensify.com:8082/anything)
  2. Verify the "Page not found" screen appears with "Go back to home page" link
  3. Click the "Go back to home page" link
  4. Verify you land on the Home dashboard (URL shows /home, page shows "Home" heading with Time sensitive, For you, Discover sections) — NOT the Inbox with a chat open
  • Verify that no errors appear in the JS console

Offline tests

N/A — this change only affects navigation routing, which doesn't involve network requests.

QA Steps

  1. Navigate to a non-existing URL (e.g., https://staging.new.expensify.com/anything)
  2. Verify the "Page not found" screen appears
  3. Click the "Go back to home page" link
  4. Verify you are redirected to the Home dashboard page (not the Inbox with a chat)
  • Verify that no errors appear in the JS console

P2 Badge Replace 404 route instead of pushing Home

Using Navigation.navigate(ROUTES.HOME) here leaves the 404 screen in history, because normal navigate() calls are converted to a PUSH action in helpers/linkTo/index.ts (for non-special routes). In the common flow of opening an invalid URL and clicking “Go back to home page”, pressing browser/native back then returns to the NotFound page instead of leaving Home or returning to the prior context. The previous goBackToHome() path avoided this by using go-back/replace semantics, so this introduces a navigation-history regression.

@MelvinBot To address this, do you think we should create a new function, such as goBackToHomeV2, but rather than navigate to INBOX like the V1 version, we navigate to HOME.

What do you think? If you agree, please make a change.

Good catch on the back-button regression! I've pushed a fix that uses Navigation.goBack(ROUTES.HOME) instead of Navigation.navigate(ROUTES.HOME).

Why this works: goBack(route) calls goUp() internally, which uses replace semantics when the target route isn't found in the current navigation state (or would require popping more than one root-level route). This removes the 404 page from browser history before landing on HOME — exactly the behavior the original goBackToHome() provided for INBOX.

Since SCREENS.HOME is a direct root-level screen (unlike INBOX which is nested inside REPORTS_SPLIT_NAVIGATOR), a single goBack(ROUTES.HOME) call is sufficient — no need for a new function or the double-call pattern that goBackToHome() uses.

I'd recommend against creating a goBackToHomeV2 function. Here's my reasoning:

Why goBackToHomeV2 is unnecessary

Navigation.navigate(ROUTES.HOME) is already used in 10+ places across the codebase (NavigationTabBar, App.ts, onboarding flow, etc.). It's the standard pattern for navigating to the Home dashboard. A goBackToHomeV2 wrapper would just add an unnecessary abstraction around a single well-known call.

The current PR approach is the right one

The current change — overriding onLinkPress in NotFoundPage with () => Navigation.navigate(ROUTES.HOME) — is minimal, scoped, and follows existing patterns. It fixes exactly the issue (NotFoundPage's "Go back to home page" link navigating to Inbox instead of Home) without affecting other callers of goBackToHome().

If a broader fix is desired (separate PR)

The real issue is that goBackToHome() itself is misleading — it navigates to ROUTES.INBOX, not ROUTES.HOME. Now that HOME and INBOX are separate tabs, updating goBackToHome() to navigate to HOME would fix the behavior for all callers (WorkspaceInitialPage, WorkspacePageWithSections, DomainInitialPage, and the FullPageNotFoundView default). However, that's a broader change with wider impact and should be its own PR with careful testing of each caller.

TL;DR: The current PR approach is clean and correct. No new function needed — Navigation.navigate(ROUTES.HOME) is already the established pattern.

The previous goBackToHome() path avoided this by using go-back/replace semantics, so this introduces a navigation-history regression.

@MelvinBot I tested the current PR and yes, pressing browser/native back then returns to NotFound page again.

To fix it, we can:

  1. Update goBackToHome to also allow user to navigate to HOME beside INBOX, such as goBackToHome(shouldNavigateToHome?:boolean)
  2. or Update the current navigation logic in PR to Navigation.navigate(ROUTES.HOME, {forceReplace: true} (adding {forceReplace: true}`

Navigation.navigate(ROUTES.HOME) was pushing HOME onto the navigation
stack, leaving the 404 page in browser history. Using goBack(ROUTES.HOME)
instead leverages the replace semantics in goUp(), removing the 404
from history before navigating to HOME.

@MelvinBot We are making the navigation change in NotFoundPage directly, but this screen are used in a lot of places.
In the scope of this bug, I think we should only make the change in NotFoundPage when it is used as screen:

                        <RootStack.Screen
                            name={SCREENS.NOT_FOUND}
                            options={rootNavigatorScreenOptions.fullScreen}
                            component={NotFoundPage}
                        />

Others such as:

function ReportChangeApproverPage({report, policy, isLoadingReportData}: ReportChangeApproverPageProps) {
 
    if (shouldShowNotFoundView) {
        return <NotFoundPage />;
    }

    .....
}

we should leave it as it is.

Give me your solution first before implementing!

Great point! The current change applies onLinkPress inside NotFoundPage itself, which affects all 50+ places that render <NotFoundPage /> inline (workspace pages, report HOCs, settings pages, etc.). We should only change the behavior when it's the top-level SCREENS.NOT_FOUND wildcard screen.

Proposed Solution

Key insight: NotFoundPage already accepts and forwards FullPageNotFoundViewProps (including onLinkPress) via the rest spread {...fullPageNotFoundViewProps}. So we don't need to touch NotFoundPage at all.

1. Revert NotFoundPage.tsx

Remove the added onLinkPress line and the ROUTES import — restore the file to its original state. FullPageNotFoundView will continue using its default goBackToHome() for all inline usages.

2. Create a wrapper component in AuthScreens.tsx

Define a small wrapper component (outside the main component to avoid React Navigation re-mount issues) that passes onLinkPress to NotFoundPage:

function NotFoundScreen() {
    return <NotFoundPage onLinkPress={() => Navigation.goBack(ROUTES.HOME)} />;
}

3. Use the wrapper in the screen registration

<RootStack.Screen
    name={SCREENS.NOT_FOUND}
    options={rootNavigatorScreenOptions.fullScreen}
    component={NotFoundScreen}  // was: NotFoundPage
/>

Why this works

  • NotFoundPage destructures onBackButtonPress, isReportRelatedPage, and shouldShowOfflineIndicator — everything else goes into ...fullPageNotFoundViewProps
  • onLinkPress passed as a prop lands in fullPageNotFoundViewProps and gets spread onto FullPageNotFoundView
  • Only the SCREENS.NOT_FOUND screen gets the ROUTES.HOME navigation; all inline usages keep the default goBackToHome() behavior

Let me know if this approach looks good and I'll implement it!

@MelvinBot What about adding:

    const route = useRoute();
    const isNotFoundScreen = route.name === SCREENS.NOT_FOUND;

then:

                onLinkPress={isNotFoundScreen ? () => Navigation.goBack(ROUTES.HOME) : undefined}

@MelvinBot

Good question! Here's the trade-off between the two approaches:

Your suggestion — add useRoute() inside FullPageNotFoundView and conditionally override onLinkPress when route.name === SCREENS.NOT_FOUND:

  • Pro: Centralizes the fix in one place, so if other callers eventually need this behavior, it's automatic.
  • Con: FullPageNotFoundView is currently a purely prop-driven component with no React Navigation hooks — it imports zero routing utilities. Adding useRoute() introduces navigation-context coupling into a generic blocking view used by ~69+ files across the codebase.
  • Con: useRoute() would execute on every render for all callers, even in the shouldShow=false pass-through path where the component just returns children.
  • Con: A conditional like if (isNotFoundScreen) { use HOME } inside the component could silently override an explicit onLinkPress prop passed by a caller that happens to render on a NOT_FOUND screen, breaking the prop-driven contract.

Current PR approachNotFoundPage passes onLinkPress={() => Navigation.goBack(ROUTES.HOME)}:

  • Keeps the override at the one call site that needs it.
  • No new hooks or navigation awareness added to the generic component.
  • Other callers (workspace pages, domain pages, wallet pages, etc.) are unaffected.

That said, you're the assignee — if you'd prefer the useRoute() approach inside FullPageNotFoundView, I can implement it. Just let me know which direction you'd like to go.

@MelvinBot Let's implement useRoute() approach, and onLinkPress={isNotFoundScreen ? () => Navigation.goBack(ROUTES.HOME) : fullPageNotFoundViewProps.onLinkPress} can resolve your concern:

Con: A conditional like if (isNotFoundScreen) { use HOME } inside the component could silently override an explicit onLinkPress prop passed by a caller that happens to render on a NOT_FOUND screen, breaking the prop-driven contract.

right?

Instead of always overriding onLinkPress, use useRoute() to detect
when NotFoundPage is rendered as the SCREENS.NOT_FOUND screen and
only then navigate to HOME. Other callers that render NotFoundPage
inline keep their existing onLinkPress behavior.

Yes, exactly right! The conditional onLinkPress={isNotFoundScreen ? () => Navigation.goBack(ROUTES.HOME) : fullPageNotFoundViewProps.onLinkPress} resolves that concern — if a caller passes an explicit onLinkPress, it's preserved via fullPageNotFoundViewProps.onLinkPress; the HOME override only applies when we're actually on the SCREENS.NOT_FOUND screen.

I've pushed the implementation with:

  • useRoute() to detect route.name === SCREENS.NOT_FOUND
  • The conditional onLinkPress placed after the spread so it takes precedence over both the spread and the default
