Paypal payments not working - INVALID_EXPERIENCE_PROFILE_ID

[icougil]

Hi.

We've found a new issue with Paypal. We have just updated the real client ID and client secret (only in the system configuration, we didn't setup anything in any other place) and we found that now it is not possible to pay with Paypal (even we checked that everything was working perfectly in the "demo mode" with the Paypal demo user/pwd).

This is what we are seeing in the log:

ERROR com.paypal.base.HttpConnection - Response code: 400 Error response: {"name":"INVALID_EXPERIENCE_PROFILE_ID","message":"The requested experience profile ID was not found","information_link":"https://developer.paypal.com/docs/api/payments/#errors","debug_id":"XXXXXX"

What we are doing wrong? What we can do?

Best,

hi @cougil , actually you found a bug :). For performance reason I've cached the profile id (see https://github.com/alfio-event/alf.io/blob/master/src/main/java/alfio/manager/PaypalManager.java#L59 ).

But I've not taken in account the change of the client id for a given event/locale pair (as the key of the map is generated using https://github.com/alfio-event/alf.io/blob/master/src/main/java/alfio/manager/PaypalManager.java#L72 ) . As a simple workaround, you can restart the instance so the cache is empty.

TODO:

• generate the key of the cache using the client_id too, it should be enough
• switch to caffeine for the caching (?)

Done, thank for your super fast reply!
It is working right now after the restart ;-)

@cougil I'll reopen the issue so I can track my commit with it:)
