fix: crash in ShareView when a shared file no longer exists#7581Rohit3523 wants to merge 4 commits into
Conversation
ShareListView.componentDidMount mapped missing share-extension URIs to
null, and ShareView.getAttachments mutated every item unconditionally
(item.canUpload = ...), throwing when it hit one of those nulls.
- Filter null entries in ShareListView before they reach navigation
- Guard ShareView.getAttachments against any null/invalid entries and
default `selected` to {} instead of undefined when nothing is valid
- Show a toast and stay on the share list when a media share ends up
with zero valid attachments, instead of opening a degraded ShareView
- Fix Preview.tsx crashing (`type.match is not a function`) when a
file's mime type can't be resolved to a string (react-native-mime-types
returns `false`, not undefined, for unrecognized extensions)
Verified on both Android emulator and iOS simulator, including an A/B
comparison confirming the original code silently breaks (no crash
signal, just a header-less empty ShareView) rather than throwing
visibly in this build.

WalkthroughThe PR validates shared attachment data, prevents navigation for invalid media-only shares, adds localized error messages, and expands tests for attachment filtering and preview fallback behavior. ChangesShare attachment validation
Estimated code review effort: 3 (Moderate) | ~20 minutes Merge Risk: 🔵 Low · up to The change prevents crashes for missing shared files and keeps users on the share list with a toast, but attachment validation may still allow malformed values into upload handling.

- Around line 111-125: Update the attachments mapping in ShareListView so
mime.lookup(file.uri) never assigns false: convert unresolved MIME results to
undefined or exclude those attachments before navigation. Keep the resulting
IFileToShare data compatible with the string-based MIME contracts used by
IShareAttachment and TSendFileMessageFileInfo.type.
Apply the same fix in `@app/views/ShareView/Preview.tsx` at line 67: The preview
path also depends on MIME values being strings.
In `@app/views/ShareView/index.tsx`:
- Line 200: Update the attachment processing in the ShareView async mapper to
use a typed file-share input, filter this.files with a type predicate that
requires the expected path field, and annotate the mapper’s return type. Ensure
only validated file entries reach canUploadFile and sendAttachments.

File: app/lib/services/voip/MediaCallEvents.ts:0-0
Timestamp: 2026-04-30T17:07:51.020Z
Learning: In this Rocket.Chat React Native codebase, the ESLint rule `no-void: error` is enforced. When you see a promise returned from an async call that is not awaited (a “floating promise”), do not silence it with the `void somePromise()` pattern. Instead, handle the promise explicitly by attaching `.catch(...)` (or otherwise awaiting/handling the error) so unhandled-rejection risks are addressed in a way that satisfies the existing ESLint configuration.

Timestamp: 2026-06-24T22:58:43.390Z
Learning: When wrapping a React Native component (e.g., via `withSafeAreaInsets`) ensure `hoistNonReactStatics` is only required if the wrapped component actually defines static properties/methods that consumers rely on. If the component has no statics (as in `app/views/MessagesView/index.tsx`), you can omit `hoistNonReactStatics` for this case.

Timestamp: 2026-06-25T18:37:25.526Z
Learning: In Rocket.Chat ReactNative tests that mock selectors for `useAppSelector`, don’t require the mocked selector input to be typed as `IApplicationState` when the fixture only includes a partial Redux state slice (e.g., only `server` and `settings`). Requiring the full `IApplicationState` type in that scenario forces unsafe `as IApplicationState` casts and undermines type-safety. For these narrowly scoped selector-mock fixtures, use a less strict type (e.g., `any`) to keep the mock focused on the slice under test.

Learning: In the Rocket.Chat React Native codebase, do not treat passing an `async` function directly to an event prop in React/React Native UI components (e.g., `onPress={async () => ...}` in TSX) as a “floating promises” CI-blocking lint issue—this repo does not enable the ESLint `no-floating-promises` rule (while `no-void` is enforced). Only raise robustness follow-ups when there are genuinely unhandled promise paths (e.g., fire-and-forget calls like `save()` that return a Promise that is neither awaited nor handled), and prefer making sure failure paths are explicitly handled/reported rather than blocking on lint-style floating-promise concerns.

How can a user reproduce the share of a file that doesn't exist?
On the PR body, you mention scripts, but that's an edge case, right?
The file may still exist for the user, but our app might not be able to access it because it’s in a path we don’t have access to, was removed by the source app or the source app provided an invalid URI. The deeplink script is just a way to reproduce this condition consistently by intentionally passing an invalid file URI. |

I'm not convinced this is a valid fix.
We found this on bugsnag, so it's something that actually happened to the users.
There's a higher chance of one app like WhatsApp not sharing the images the way we are expecting on our share extension and causing the bug.
If we just merge the way it is, we are going to be hiding the error from bugsnag, but the users will still see it happening.
