Enatega Earnings Error: Restaurant Account Login Bug

Hey guys! Today, we're diving into a pesky issue plaguing the Enatega Admin Dashboard. Specifically, we're talking about an error that pops up on the Earnings page when you log in using a restaurant account. It's a bit of a head-scratcher, but let's break it down and see what's going on.

Understanding the Bug

The core problem is this: when a user logs in with restaurant credentials and then tries to access the Earnings page, they're greeted with an error message instead of the sweet, sweet financial data they're expecting. This isn't happening for other user types, like admins or delivery folks, making it a restaurant-specific glitch.

Steps to Recreate the Issue

Want to see it for yourself? Here’s how you can reproduce the bug:

1. Log in: Use valid restaurant account credentials to log into the Enatega application.
2. Navigate: Find your way to the Earnings page. This might be through the main menu or somewhere on the dashboard.
3. Observe: Instead of seeing the expected earnings data, you'll be met with an error message. Not ideal, right?

Expected Behavior

Ideally, the Earnings page should load without a hitch. It should display all the juicy financial details relevant to the restaurant account. Think total earnings, payout history, and all that good stuff. Basically, everything a restaurant owner needs to keep track of their income.

Why This Matters

Okay, so an error pops up. Why should we care? Well, for restaurant owners, the Earnings page is crucial. It's where they go to see how their business is doing financially, track payouts, and generally keep tabs on their money. When this page is broken, it creates a major headache. They might start to mistrust the system, or start contacting support constantly.

Diving Deep: Potential Causes

So, what could be causing this error? Here's a few potential culprits:

• Permission Issues: The restaurant user role might not have the correct permissions to access the necessary data for the Earnings page. This could be a configuration error in the role-based access control (RBAC) system.
• Data Filtering: The query that fetches earnings data might not be correctly filtering the data based on the restaurant account. A missing or incorrect filter could lead to the query failing or returning an unexpected result.
• API Endpoint Issues: The API endpoint that provides the earnings data might be malfunctioning or returning an error when accessed by a restaurant account. This could be due to a bug in the API code or a misconfiguration of the endpoint.
• Data Structure Mismatch: The data structure expected by the Earnings page might not match the data being returned by the API for restaurant accounts. This could be due to differences in how earnings data is stored or processed for different user types.
• Session Management: There might be issues with how the user's session is being managed. The session might not be correctly associating the user with the restaurant account, leading to authorization errors.

Debugging Strategies

Alright, time to put on our detective hats and figure out how to solve this. Here’s a few strategies to try:

• Check User Permissions: Verify that the restaurant user role has the necessary permissions to access the Earnings page and the underlying data.
• Inspect the API Request: Use browser developer tools to inspect the API request being made when the Earnings page is loaded. Check the request headers, parameters, and response to identify any errors or unexpected data.
• Review Server-Side Logs: Examine the server-side logs for any error messages or exceptions that occur when a restaurant user accesses the Earnings page. This can provide valuable clues about the root cause of the issue.
• Reproduce in a Development Environment: Set up a local development environment and try to reproduce the issue. This will allow you to step through the code and debug the problem more effectively.
• Test with Different Restaurant Accounts: Try logging in with different restaurant accounts to see if the issue is specific to certain accounts or affects all restaurant users.

Potential Solutions

Based on the potential causes, here are some possible solutions:

• Update User Permissions: Adjust the user permissions for the restaurant role to ensure they have the necessary access to the Earnings page data.
• Fix Data Filtering: Correct the data filtering logic in the query that fetches earnings data to properly filter based on the restaurant account.
• Debug API Endpoint: Investigate the API endpoint that provides earnings data and fix any bugs or misconfigurations that are causing errors for restaurant accounts.
• Synchronize Data Structures: Ensure that the data structure expected by the Earnings page matches the data being returned by the API for restaurant accounts.
• Improve Session Management: Implement more robust session management to correctly associate users with their respective accounts.

The Importance of Thorough Testing

Once a fix is implemented, it’s super important to test it thoroughly. This means:

• Manual Testing: Log in with multiple restaurant accounts and verify that the Earnings page loads correctly and displays the correct data.
• Automated Testing: Create automated tests to ensure that the Earnings page continues to function correctly after future updates or changes.
• Regression Testing: Perform regression testing to ensure that the fix doesn’t introduce any new issues or break existing functionality.
