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.

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.

* fix: run handleDelete finds and prepares inside the writer lock * chore: reuse mockWMDB
2 participants
Proposed changes
handleDelete in MessageErrorActions prepared its WatermelonDB changes before acquiring the writer lock. On the thread branch (tmid set) it called message.prepareDestroyPermanently() and then awaited three find calls messages.find(message.id), messages.find(tmid), threads.find(tmid) — all outside db.write, only opening the write at the very end to run the batch.
That leaves a window where the record carries a pending prepared change but nothing holds the lock. If a saga writes the same record during it, one of two things happens:
create/update/delete.
Either way, deleting a failed thread message fails and the thread count / thread record are left inconsistent. The plain (non-thread) branch had noawait between prepare and batch, so it was never exposed.
Issue(s)
https://rocketchat.atlassian.net/browse/NATIVE-1467
How to test or reproduce
record with pending changes (thread_messages#msg-1)), then git stash pop.
(tmid set).
failed state → have a second user post to the same thread (or reconnect so the sync saga writes it) → tap the failed message and choose Delete while
that write lands.
