Bug in serializing encoded password (business_shortcode+ passcode+ time) in Mpesa Express stk_push #2

Closed GrishonNganga closed 4 years ago

GrishonNganga commented 4 years ago

First of all. Good stuff with this library. It is very well written and documented.

So. I encountered this problem where I had passed everything as expected to use the Mpesa express stkpush. But I kept getting this error.

After a very long time I discovered that the encoded password was a byte and could not be serialized so as to be passed in the requested body.

This is a screenshot of a segment of the class before I refactored it.

And after.

stk_after

Decoding the password to a string worked for me and everything else was seamless.

I am not sure if it is an isolated case for me or for others as well, so I thought I'd raise this issue.
