basecurrencyadjustment error from Zoho

[xrobau]

This may be expected? But since I'm testing all of them...

It seems the url we construct is not correct, can you tell me what url is built when calling it? You can print it out at Client line 327

[xrobau]

I seriously have drunk half a bottle of scotch to try to numb the pain of dealing with Zoho all day. On the upside, I'm now at level 10 on the battle tower in Pokemon Sword.

If I don't provide useful information tomorrow, remind me.

reminder :P

[xrobau]

Dammit. I was meant to look into this today, but got hung up on all the rest of the Zoho insanity.

I'll be caring about currencies again soon (I can't set a currency for a line item, but I CAN set an exchange rate. WHY???) so I'll brain about this again soon.

Leave it open unless you feel like a night of drinking heavily after reverse engineering their errors.

[xrobau]

A message I posted in our slack today:

So today I discovered that the Zoho error 'Please ensure that the cf_service_location_id has less than 100 characters.' actually means 'One of the other fields you are using, but IS NOT THE FIELD I JUST TOLD YOU ABOUT, has been set to the wrong type'

[Skullbock]

Yeah.... and let me tell you: just wait to deal with the zoho crm apis...

And as another curious stuff, i also managed to get access to the zoho backstage apis, which are not yet released to the public, and oh boy they are strange... :P

We do deal with them. I've wrapped their PHP SDK in something that handles their bullshit crap of randomly crapping out on token renewals. We should switch to your SDK but that's going to be a week's project ... No. I say a 'a week' when I am making the assumption that their API isn't full of cancer and herpes, and we both know that's not the case.... So, that's 3 weeks project.

THIS project of 'Creating Invoices for our stuff' has taken 3 weeks so far, and that includes 8 PRs so far of THEM being wrong.

Yeah, the PHP developers in their team seems a bit.... inexperienced

It's not just their PHP developers. This was a bug in their entire sdk - they patched it everywhere, and never admitted to it.

https://github.com/zoho/zcrm-python-sdk/commit/299630a7261980e354470c7cefba5fc96301d23f

'Change in API response', and it has been the same forever. This has, literally, been a bug forever and they never noticed.

Yes. I'm having scotch again. How did you notice? Was it the ranting? It was the ranting, wasn't it.

[Skullbock]

Would've never guessed unless you told me :P

Hey @xrobau Just to make you cry even more.

I was registering a oauth2 token with zoho and i noticed that urls with "-" in the hostname produced an error. Thinking of a UI bug i reported it to them.

Reply:

We are sorry for the hassle.
​
As of now, hyphens "-" are not allowed in client domain value. We don't consider domain values and consider only redirect url for web-based client oauth process. 
The domain value matters only for jsdomain based clients. So you can remove hyphen in your domain value and register. 
We will be supporting this in near future.

WTF????

[xrobau]

Being that this has been open for almost a year now, and I haven't hit this bug again, I think we can consider this closed.

I also did, recently see an update from them when they DID realise that '-' in a domain is a valid character. Maybe someone pointed them towards https://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc5890 where xn-- is used as the prefix of I18n domains!

[Skullbock]

yeah, they start with strange assumptions sometimes...
