Question

I signed up for a test account with Authorize.net because you can’t do test transaction with the CIM service except through a test account.

I am using ActiveMerchant::Billing::AuthorizeNetCimGateway, which works fine with my regular account. However using my test account api login info, I get the following error:

"message"=>{"code"=>"E00007", "text"=>"User authentication failed due to invalid authentication values."}

What am I doing wrong? I’ve read through the active merchant source and have found the following lines which indicate that maybe it is sending to the wrong api url:

  self.test_url = 'https://apitest.authorize.net/xml/v1/request.api'
  self.live_url = 'https://api.authorize.net/xml/v1/request.api'

As far as I can tell, there is no way to configure which url is used, but I’ve found this line:

url = test? ? test_url : live_url

which seems to set the var, only the method test? isn’t defined anywhere so I can’t see how to set it.

I’m confused. Anyone able to connect to their test account via AIM?

Found how to make this work in case anyone cares, or can use this info:

ActiveMerchant::Billing::Base.gateway_mode = :test #detaults to :production, and will use test server
