Description

What happened?

I was trying to view the Transaction Calendar on my mobile device (Brave) by clicking on the default "Transaction Calendar" widget and experienced a front end crash. This works correctly on my desktop browser (Firefox). I did change the default widget to not include transfers yesterday, but the behavior is unchanged after reverting this change to the widget.

This results in the following front-end error (domain redacted)

Error: useDisplayPayee must be used within a DisplayPayeeContextProvider.

I speculate this is a duplicate of https://github.com/actualbudget/actual/issues/7098, but that issue does not have enough information to say whether it's the same error and don't want to conflate two issues if not.

I do not observe this behavior with the other default widgets, probably because they do not load and show the transactions.

How can we reproduce the issue?

  1. Open widgets view
  2. Tap on Transaction Calendar
  3. See the Transaction Calendar page render briefly (around 0.25-0.5 seconds before crashing)
  4. Observe "Fatal Error" (so far I have only been able to reproduce this using Brave browser on mobile)

Research direction
Investigate the mobile specific crash by examining the Transaction Calendar widget rendering. The error 'useDisplayPayee must be used within a DisplayPayeeContextProvider' suggests a context provider is missing when the component renders on mobile. Look at the TransactionList component and how the DisplayPayeeContextProvider is wrapped. Check if there is a conditional rendering that differs between desktop and mobile. Also review issue #7098 for possible duplicate. Reproduce in a mobile emulator to confirm the fix.
