triage complete -- looks like they already tagged with eng, so not reapplying the label again now.

Hmm I'm not super familiar with this code to know off hand if this is a client issue (maybe onyx isn't being updated properly) or an API issue (maybe we're not returning the updated balance properly) so I can't tell if this is external or not. I'll take a look and see what I can find out.

There are a couple of issues here.

1. First, no confirmation modal is shown after completion.
2. Second, balance is not updated.

[bondydaa]

alrighty looks like the API doesn't return anything back to the client https://github.com/Expensify/Web-Expensify/blob/5988e0dc06223c766c5f57b4eea4773963802654/api.php#L2279-L2280

Personally I think we probably should just update the API to return the remaining balance so that we don't have to then just make another call to the API to get the balance but 🤷 seems like it was built this way on purpose.

I think the bug is that here:

App/src/libs/actions/PaymentMethods.js

Line 203 in 56c97f4

Onyx.merge(ONYXKEYS.USER_WALLET, {balance: 0});

we set the balance key on the USER_WALLET but looking at the rest of the code we refer to currentBalance when trying to render the balance:

Expensidev/App (main) $ ack -Q .currentBalance
src/components/CurrentWalletBalance.js
43:        props.userWallet.currentBalance / 100, // Divide by 100 because balance is in cents

src/pages/settings/Payments/TransferBalancePage.js
177:        const calculatedFee = PaymentUtils.calculateWalletTransferBalanceFee(this.props.userWallet.currentBalance, selectedPaymentType);
178:        const transferAmount = this.props.userWallet.currentBalance - calculatedFee;

src/pages/settings/InitialSettingsPage.js
125:        props.userWallet.currentBalance / 100, // Divide by 100 because balance is in cents

[bondydaa]

looks like it was added in this PR #6878

[parasharrajat]

Oh, yeah. You are correct. I added this code and this should be currentBalance.
