Proposal

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

The self DM shows briefly when open track expense.

What is the root cause of that problem?

The self DM shows because the matching route here for the track expense page is the self DM report.

App/src/libs/Navigation/linkingConfig/getAdaptedStateFromPath.ts

Line 188 in 5005f59

let matchingRootRoute = getMatchingRootRouteForRHPRoute(focusedRHPRoute);

It checks the screen params and if reportID is found and valid, then the report is returned.

App/src/libs/Navigation/linkingConfig/getAdaptedStateFromPath.ts

Lines 153 to 156 in 5005f59

	const reportID = (route.params as Record<string, string | undefined>)?.reportID;
	if (ReportConnection.getAllReports()?.[`${ONYXKEYS.COLLECTION.REPORT}${reportID}`]) {
	return {name: SCREENS.REPORT, params: {reportID}};
	}

Track expense page reportID params is the self DM reportID. Because the matching route is found, we push it to the adapted routes,

App/src/libs/Navigation/linkingConfig/getAdaptedStateFromPath.ts

Lines 207 to 209 in 5005f59

	if (matchingRootRoute && (!isNarrowLayout || !isRHPScreenOpenedFromLHN)) {
	routes.push(matchingRootRoute);
	}

which will be later used if isCentralPaneAndBottomTabMandatory or isFullScreenNavigatorMandatory is true, which is true in our case.

App/src/libs/Navigation/linkTo/index.ts

Lines 135 to 142 in 5005f59

	const {adaptedState, metainfo} = getAdaptedStateFromPath(path, linkingConfig.config);
	if (adaptedState && (metainfo.isCentralPaneAndBottomTabMandatory || metainfo.isFullScreenNavigatorMandatory)) {
	const diff = getPartialStateDiff(rootState, adaptedState as State<RootStackParamList>, metainfo);
	const diffActions = getActionsFromPartialDiff(diff);
	for (const diffAction of diffActions) {
	root.dispatch(diffAction);
	}
	}

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

We can include the money request screen in RHP_SCREENS_OPENED_FROM_LHN list so it won't be added to the stack when navigating to the money request page, including track expense.

App/src/libs/Navigation/linkingConfig/getAdaptedStateFromPath.ts

Lines 189 to 193 in 5005f59

	const isRHPScreenOpenedFromLHN = focusedRHPRoute?.name && RHP_SCREENS_OPENED_FROM_LHN.includes(focusedRHPRoute?.name as RHPScreenOpenedFromLHN);
	// This may happen if this RHP doens't have a route that should be under the overlay defined.
	if (!matchingRootRoute || isRHPScreenOpenedFromLHN) {
	metainfo.isCentralPaneAndBottomTabMandatory = false;
	metainfo.isFullScreenNavigatorMandatory = false;

App/src/libs/Navigation/linkingConfig/getAdaptedStateFromPath.ts

Lines 207 to 209 in 5005f59

	if (matchingRootRoute && (!isNarrowLayout || !isRHPScreenOpenedFromLHN)) {
	routes.push(matchingRootRoute);
	}

const RHP_SCREENS_OPENED_FROM_LHN = [SCREENS.MONEY_REQUEST.CREATE, ...];
