I have a lightning component that closes a case. Depending on the button that is pressed it either closes the case and leaves the workspace tab open or closes the case and the workspace tab.
All is working great until I set the visibility on the component. I don't want it to show if the case status is closed.
When the above criteria is set on the component, the onSuccess method is not called, only the onLoad and handleSumbit function that is called from the click event of the 2 save buttons. 
Is there a way I can set a visibility criteria on the component and still have the onSuccess method being called?

Component
