| Summary | 0010988: when an exchange is not reachable, merchant backend does not expose any error | ||||
| Description | On the staging environment, I accidentally configured https://stage.exchange.taler-ops.ch/ instead of https://exchange.stage.taler-ops.ch/ When setting up a new instance with a new account, there was no error information whatsoever. I had to manually run "taler-merchant-exchangekeyupdate -t" to figure out the problem. | ||||
| Tags | No tags attached. | ||||
| related to | 0009956 | acknowledged | Error for the exchange being not available are not descriptive enough in the taler-merchant-exchangekeyupdate | |
| related to | 0009746 | informing | Christian Grothoff | improve error reporting when order can't be created due to wire method mismatch |
| child of | 0011026 | informing | Florian Dold | expand SPA with list of exchanges and status information from new /exchanges endpoint |
| I think we might need some new endpoints to expose the *exchange* status in the merchant backend to the SPAs. | |
| if the /kyc endpoint return "exchange unreachable" and sysadmin have logs on WARN or ERROR i think that could be enough. In this case we expected to see 2 kyc rows and only one showed up (prod) | |
| I don't think that's so great, because it would only show up if/when there is actually some /kyc need. We also can have exchange trouble independent of KYC, so I think we should expose this generally, especially as it is likely a misconfiguration in the taler-merchant-backend. | |
| d02ea7d6..a4b9be0c adds new columns to merchant_exchange_keys to enable better error reporting. They still need to be set. | |
| Implemented with minimal test in 05bbd200..52c3a9e8. Filed parent bug for SPA implementation. | |
