  • The PR that introduced the bug has been identified. Link to the PR: there isn’t a PR that introduced this bug, we’re just changing the config value to allow for poor GPS connection
  • The offending PR has been commented on, pointing out the bug it caused and why, so the author and reviewers can learn from the mistake. Link to comment: N/A
  • A discussion in #expensify-bugs has been started about whether any other steps should be taken (e.g. updating the PR review checklist) in order to catch this type of bug sooner. Link to discussion: additional discussion isn’t needed, this is an extreme edge case
  • Determine if we should create a regression test for this bug. It’s hard to reliably simulate a poor GPS connection on Android (I’ve had to use a basement), I don’t think QA team would be able to do that
