Question

When using the Balanced Payments ruby gem (https://github.com/balanced/balanced-ruby), and using the Balanced::Hold#void method on a Balanced::Hold instance that is captured, we are getting a Balanced::Hold back that has its is_void property set to true.

That doesn’t seem to make sense… is this the desired functionality?

Here’s the output from the rails console:

I am not sure if this is desired functionality. Happy to log it as an issue if someone thinks this doesn’t make sense.

Answer 1

Ah, it seems that the Balanced client, in lib/balanced/resources/hold.rb#L26 does not handle an exception thrown when save is invoked.

The proper fix would be:

def void
  self.is_void = true
  begin
     save
  rescue Balanced::Error
     self.is_void = false
     raise
  end
end

I’ll file a github issue.
