Description

editExpense now reads groupId and writes it on the same update as the payer and participant rows, including an explicit null when the caller clears the group. Before either edit path in the expense router, assertExpenseGroupReassignment allows a null group to become a real group only when that group exists, is not archived, and contains the acting user, the payer, and every participant. An expense that already has a group must keep that same groupId. The new splitService tests cover the update payload and these rejections, and the Jest config sets SKIP_ENV_VALIDATION when it is unset so next/jest can load without a local env file.

Saving an edit that places a previously ungrouped expense into a group completes with no error, yet the expense never shows up in that group's list. Opening the expense again still shows the original individual participants. editExpense omitted groupId from the fields it read off its input and from the data passed to the expense update. The group id the edit form already submitted was dropped, so an expense stored with a null groupId stayed ungrouped.

Fixes #763

📝 Walkthrough

The expense service now validates group reassignment and persists the selected group ID. The expense router applies validation to existing expense and currency-conversion edits. Integration tests cover successful assignments and rejected reassignment attempts.

Changes: Expense group reassignment

Layer / File(s) Summary
Reassignment validation and persistence
src/server/api/services/splitService.ts
The service checks that the expense can be reassigned and that the target group is active and contains the actor, payer, and participants. editExpense accepts and persists an optional groupId.
Router checks and integration coverage
src/server/api/routers/expense.ts, src/tests/integration/expenseGroupReassignment.integration.test.ts
Expense and currency-conversion edits validate reassignment before updating. Ungrouped expenses can be assigned to a group. Integration tests cover persistence, balances, authorization, membership, and archived groups.

Editing an ungrouped expense now saves the selected group, and only the expense's owner or a participant can reassign it. No merge-blocking risk remains; the integration suite should be confirmed in CI.

Explanation

The description follows the required template and provides the change summary, issue reference, demo status, implementation details, test coverage, and validation status. Two checklist items remain unchecked, but the description clearly reports those statuses.

Full details: Linked Issues check

Explanation

Issue #763 requires group assignment to persist when an ungrouped expense is edited. editExpense now reads groupId and writes it in the expense update. The router validates reassignment before both ordinary and currency-conversion edits. The integration test verifies the stored groupId and the group expense list after saving.

Full details: Out of Scope Changes check

Explanation

The router validation, reassignment checks, authorization coverage, archived-group checks, and integration tests support safe implementation of issue #763. The Jest environment change supports loading the added tests. No unrelated change is established by the available evidence.

Establish expense-level permission before group reassignment. Target-group membership does not authorize editing the source expense. A caller with a known ungrouped expense ID can assign an expense they do not own to a group they belong to.

Before I review this, could you rebase the branch and update the test file to rely on the new testing infra?

validateEditExpensePermission let any caller through when the expense
had a non-null addedBy, because it only checked that addedBy existed.
It now requires the caller to be a participant or the user who added
the expense. The currency-conversion edit path also runs this check
before assertExpenseGroupReassignment, so a user who knows another
person's ungrouped expense ID can no longer move it into one of their
groups through either edit path.

Refs oss-apps#763
…ion harness

Main now runs validateExpenseWritePermission on every expense and
currency-conversion write. It checks edit permission, group existence,
membership and archive state, and it rejected any change to an
expense's groupId, which blocked the oss-apps#763 fix. The conflict in
addOrEditExpense is resolved by keeping main's write check and dropping
this branch's older inline group lookup. The groupId comparison now
only rejects a change when the stored expense already has a group, so
an ungrouped expense can be assigned to a group while a grouped one
still cannot move or be ungrouped. assertExpenseGroupReassignment still
runs on both edit paths to require that the payer and every participant
belong to the target group. The extra validateEditExpensePermission
call in the conversion path is removed because main's write check
already runs it.

The mocked splitService.test.ts is replaced by
src/tests/integration/expenseGroupReassignment.integration.test.ts,
which uses the shared factories and tRPC caller against the disposable
test database. It covers persisting the group on edit, both linked
currency-conversion records, an unrelated caller, a caller, payer or
participant outside the group, and an archived group. Each rejection
leaves accounting unchanged.

Merged main into the branch and moved the tests to the new harness. The mocked splitService.test.ts is gone; the coverage now lives in src/tests/integration/expenseGroupReassignment.integration.test.ts and goes through the real tRPC caller and factories. One thing to flag: validateExpenseWritePermission on main rejected any groupId change on edit, which is exactly what #763 needs, so I relaxed it to only reject when the expense already has a group. Moving a grouped expense to another group or ungrouping it is still rejected, and the existing authorization tests for that are unchanged. Lint, tsc and the unit suite pass locally. I couldn't run the integration suite on this machine (no pg_cron), so the integration job here is the first real run of those tests. I merged rather than rebased to avoid a force push; happy to squash if you prefer.

Consolidate the overlapping group checks without dropping participant validation.

Both edit procedures call validateExpenseWritePermission and then assertExpenseGroupReassignment. For an ungrouped expense assigned to a group, both helpers repeat the group existence, archive, and actor-membership checks. They also perform duplicate expense and group queries.

The helpers are not exact duplicates. assertExpenseGroupReassignment additionally checks the payer and participants, and the immutability errors differ. Preserve those checks and the current early-return behavior while moving the shared group rules into one validator.
