Creates a recurring application charge fails in production

[felixding]

I'm trying to create a recurring application charge as follows:

recurring_application_charge = ShopifyAPI::RecurringApplicationCharge.new(session: Shop.first.shopify_session)
recurring_application_charge.name = "Super Duper Plan"
recurring_application_charge.price = 10.0
recurring_application_charge.return_url = "http://super-duper.shopifyapps.com/"
recurring_application_charge.save!

It works well in development with recurring_application_charge.test = true.

But it fails in production (after removing recurring_application_charge.test = true, of course).

The API returns {"error_reference":"If you report this error, please include this id: 60dcfc7c-08b1-433d-a16a-78d5f8827616-1727746893."}

The Shopify session is valid. I can get the product images using the same session:

Loading production environment (Rails 7.1.3.3)
irb(main):001> Shop.first.product_images
W, [2024-10-02T01:28:33.734932 #1]  WARN -- : Deprecated request to Shopify API at products.json, received reason: https://shopify.dev/api/admin-rest/latest/resources/product

 "https://cdn.shopify.com/s/files/1/0829/7712/8724/products/snowboard_wax.png?v=1695028430",
 ...]

But as mentioned above, this failed:

irb(main):002> recurring_application_charge = ShopifyAPI::RecurringApplicationCharge.new(session: Shop.first.shopify_session)
irb(main):003> recurring_application_charge.name = "Super Duper Plan"
irb(main):004> recurring_application_charge.price = 10.0
irb(main):005> recurring_application_charge.return_url = "http://super-duper.shopifyapps.com"
irb(main):006> recurring_application_charge.test = nil
irb(main):007> recurring_application_charge.save!

Why?

[felixding]

I've also tried to debug with CURL as per documentation. But the official sample code doesn't work. Probably because the API endpoint is behind Cloudflare which blocks CURL requests.

Hi there!

This seem like it may have been an issue with the underlying API, that has now been resolved and not this library.

I was able to successfully create a recurring application charge with CURL.

Going to close this issue. Please re-open if you do believe there is a bug in this library.

[felixding]

Thanks for the update. I just tried once again using this gem and it didn't work. What do you mean that it has been resolved?

If you are seeing the same errors with CURL or Postman, then I would expect the issue to be with the API directly and not with this library. Are you still seeing errors when you use CURL or Postman?

[felixding]

The CURL command from the documentation doesn't work:

curl  -d '{"recurring_application_charge":{"name":"Super Duper Plan","price":10.0,"return_url":"http://super-duper.shopifyapps.com","capped_amount":100,"terms":"$1 for 1000 emails"}}' \
-X POST "https://redacted.myshopify.com/admin/api/2024-07/recurring_application_charges.json" \
-H "X-Shopify-Access-Token: redacted" \
-H "Content-Type: application/json"

Yes. That's the full request and response. The API returns nothing.

I had to add -v to know what happened:

curl -v -d '{"recurring_application_charge":{"name":"Super Duper Plan","price":10.0,"return_url":"http://super-duper.shopifyapps.com","capped_amount":100,"terms":"$1 for 1000 emails"}}' \
-X POST "https://redacted.myshopify.com/admin/api/2024-07/recurring_application_charges.json" \
-H "X-Shopify-Access-Token: redacted" \
-H "Content-Type: application/json"

Note: Unnecessary use of -X or --request, POST is already inferred.

Apparently the request was blocked by Cloudflare, as mentioned above.

Hi @felixding by any chance this is still happening for you? I just tried and it seems to be failing still with the same error response.
