Explanation of Change

Reduced @typescript-eslint/no-unsafe-type-assertion violations in
tests/actions/ReportPreviewActionUtilsTest.ts as part of the cleanup for
Expensify/App issue #94739.

What changed:

  • Replaced unsafe transaction and report fixture assertions with the typed
    createMock<T> helper.
  • Corrected two transaction fixtures to use the valid created property
    instead of the unsupported date property.
  • Preserved all existing assertions and test behavior.
  • No product or runtime code was changed.

Why this approach is safe:

  • This is a test-only change.
  • createMock<T> validates fixture fields against the real TypeScript model.
  • The two repaired fixtures continue to exercise the same pending-transaction
    behavior.
  • No new helpers, runtime validation, or unsafe assertions were introduced.

Fixed Issues

$ #94739
PROPOSAL: N/A — test-only cleanup.

Count change

Current baseline source:

  • config/eslint/eslint.seatbelt.tsv

Before:

  • tests/actions/ReportPreviewActionUtilsTest.ts: 28 violations
  • Global target-rule baseline: 4,982 violations

After:

  • tests/actions/ReportPreviewActionUtilsTest.ts: 0 violations
  • Global target-rule baseline: 4,954 violations

Net reduction:

  • 28 fewer @typescript-eslint/no-unsafe-type-assertion violations.

The generated TSV change is intentionally not included because Expensify/App
post-merge automation updates the baseline on main.

Offline tests

Not applicable. This is a test-only cleanup with no network or product behavior
changes.

QA Steps

No QA required. This PR only changes test fixtures and type-safe test setup.

  • Verify that no errors appear in the JS console (no application/runtime behavior changed).

PR Author Checklist

  • I linked the correct issue in the ### Fixed Issues section above
  • I wrote clear testing steps that cover the changes made in this PR
    • I added steps for local testing in the Tests section
    • I added steps for the expected offline behavior in the Offline steps section
    • I added steps for Staging and/or Production testing in the QA steps section
    • I added steps to cover failure scenarios (i.e. verify an input displays the correct error message if the entered data is not correct)
    • I turned off my network connection and tested it while offline to ensure it matches the expected behavior (i.e. verify the default avatar icon is displayed if app is offline)
    • I tested this PR with a High Traffic account against the staging or production API to ensure there are no regressions (e.g. long loading states that impact usability).
  • I included screenshots or videos for tests on all platforms
  • I ran the tests on all platforms & verified they passed on:
    • Android: Native
    • Android: mWeb Chrome
    • iOS: Native
    • iOS: mWeb Safari
    • MacOS: Chrome / Safari
  • I verified there are no console errors (if there's a console error not related to the PR, report it or open an issue for it to be fixed)
  • I followed proper code patterns (see Reviewing the code)
    • I verified that comments were added to code that is not self explanatory
    • I verified that any new or modified comments were clear, correct English, and explained "why" the code was doing something instead of only explaining "what" the code was doing.
    • I verified any copy / text that was added to the app is grammatically correct in English. It adheres to proper capitalization guidelines (note: only the first word of header/labels should be capitalized), and is either coming verbatim from figma or has been approved by marketing (in order to get marketing approval, ask the Bug Zero team member to add the Waiting for copy label to the issue)
  • If a new code pattern is added I verified it was agreed to be used by multiple Expensify engineers
  • I followed the guidelines as stated in the Review Guidelines
  • I tested other components that can be impacted by my changes (i.e. if the PR modifies a shared library or component like Avatar, I verified the components using Avatar are working as expected)
  • If a new CSS style is added I verified that:
    • A similar style doesn't already exist
    • The style can't be created with an existing StyleUtils function (i.e. StyleUtils.getBackgroundAndBorderStyle(theme.componentBG))
  • If new assets were added or existing ones were modified, I verified that:
    • The assets are optimized and compressed (for SVG files, run npm run compress-svg)
    • The assets load correctly across all supported platforms.
  • If the PR modifies code that runs when editing or sending messages, I tested and verified there is no unexpected behavior for all supported markdown - URLs, single line code, code blocks, quotes, headings, bold, strikethrough, and italic.
  • If the PR modifies a generic component, I tested and verified that those changes do not break usages of that component in the rest of the App (i.e. if a shared library or component like Avatar is modified, I verified that Avatar is working as expected in all cases)
  • If the PR modifies a component related to any of the existing Storybook stories, I tested and verified all stories for that component are still working as expected.
  • If the PR modifies a component or page that can be accessed by a direct deeplink, I verified that the code functions as expected when the deeplink is used - from a logged in and logged out account.
  • If the PR modifies the UI (e.g. new buttons, new UI components, changing the padding/spacing/sizing, moving components, etc) or modifies the form input styles:
    • I verified that all the inputs inside a form are aligned with each other.
    • I added Design label and/or tagged @Expensify/design so the design team can review the changes.
  • I added unit tests for any new feature or bug fix in this PR to help automatically prevent regressions in this user flow.
  • If the main branch was merged into this PR after a review, I tested again and verified the outcome was still expected according to the Test steps.

All platform, staging, production, offline, high-traffic, UI, asset, deeplink,
markdown, generic-component, and Storybook items were considered and are not
applicable because this is a test-only cleanup.

🟢 tests/actions/ReportPreviewActionUtilsTest.ts:349 and :786: good catch on date to created

Nice, this is a real fixture bug the old cast was hiding. date is not a top-level Transaction field (the only date in the type is on ReservationTimeDetails, the trip reservation object), so {date: '2025-01-01'} as unknown as Transaction was setting a property that production code never reads.

createMock<Transaction> correctly rejected it, and created is the right field (src/types/onyx/Transaction.ts:524). I checked that ReportPreviewActionUtils does not read created, so both pending tests still exercise the same path, they just have a valid date now instead of a dead one.

No change needed, just confirming it is correct ✅

🟢 tests/actions/ReportPreviewActionUtilsTest.ts:75: reportID string fix is correct

REPORT_ID is 1 (a number, line 40) but Report.reportID is a string, so the old reportID: REPORT_ID was a number-vs-string mismatch that as unknown as Report hid. Wrapping it as `${REPORT_ID}` is the right fix.

The report is merged under the same key and the assertions check the returned action, not reportID, so no behavior change - correct ✅

🟢 general: createMock<T> usage is consistent and safe

Same sanctioned createMock<T> pattern as the other PRs, including createMock<NetSuiteConnection>({}) for the connection fixture. The partials are type-checked against the real models, which is exactly what surfaced the two bugs above.

This is the direction we wanted for the series, nothing to change ✅

🟢 LGTM - This one is a clean approve, no blockers, no nits worth holding on.

@blimpich Worth noting: this cleanup surfaced two genuine (if minor) fixture bugs, a numeric reportID and a non-existent date field, which is good evidence that removing these casts is finding real problems, not just shuffling types.

All the fixtures still pass and exercise the same behavior ✅
