| Summary | 0005889: Reject logic crashes for across-the-zero reimbursements. | ||||
| Description | Say account A gave 10 KUDOS to account B with transaction T, and at some point B rejects transaction T *but* has only 4 KUDOS left on their account. The operation is legitimate if the bank allows their account to reach - for example - 10 KUDOS debit. Nonetheless, the current logic would not accomplish this operation because it will try to subtract 10 KUDOS (T's amount) from 4 KUDOS (B's balance), and raise (unhandled) ValueError! The solution would be for the subtraction to go debit until the allowed threshold, and only raise exception if this limit is surpassed. | ||||

First of all, I think in the case of a transaction being cancelled, it is OK if the usual account limits are being violated. So that check is not required. c540308..4043cac should fix the crash itself, by properly handling negative balances. All tests still pass. However, as there is no way to 'reject' transactions in the Web interface, I did not test the actual logic in question. But it's pretty simple. Still, if you have an easy way to reproduce it, please give it a spin. |

We're not using rejections anymore, so the problem doesn't apply anymore. Furthermore, the taler-integrationtests harness now has a test for amount zero crossing. |
