Getting `MangoPay::ResponseError: The authorization credentials are not valid` after running several tests about mangopay2-ruby-sdk

[mickaelpois]

@jfloff Are you always facing this issue ?
Could you give us more details on this (requests and responses, execution time) ?

[jfloff]

I haven't done this in a while because I started using VCR gem for my specs, but if I force new requests I'm still facing that. The pattern is what I described above, it works fine then after multiple specs running it stops workings and returns that error. To me it seems a throttling issue, but the error message does not match that.

Hi @jfloff

As many times as I ran the tests, not even once I got an error...

[jfloff]

I will try to get a full log the next time I can replicate this issue. We can close for now and reopen when I get that log.

Yesterday running tests I found the error yet again:

Failure/Error:
       mangopay_operation = MangoPay::NaturalUser.create({
         Email: self.email,
         FirstName: self.first_name,
         LastName: self.last_name,
         Address: address,
         Birthday: self.birth_date.to_time.to_i,
         Nationality: self.country,
         CountryOfResidence: address[:Country],
       })

     MangoPay::ResponseError:
       The authorization credentials are not valid

EDIT

This was the VCR that got recorded today when I faced this issue yet again:

I've updated the previous message with the VCR I recorded on my tests with this exact problem

[jfloff]

For future reference this is due to MGP oauth/token request. What happens is that on a first run VCR records the oauth/token request. But when you record new episodes at a later date (VCR=new_episodes) that token is expired, and since that token is replayed by VCR you get an unauthorized reply.

As a solution, either reply the whole spec or manually remove the token request from your VCR tape and record let VCR record new episodes (hence recording both the new token and the new request)
