@brandur brandur commented Feb 8, 2021

Customer#delete_discount has been broken for some time in that it
tries to re-initialize self (which is a customer) with a received
discount response. This is incorrect and leads to various problems.

Here, we redefine the return value of delete_discount as a discount,
and have it no longer mutate the object on which is was called. We add a
comment as well just to help flag some of the behavior which could
potentially be confusing.

Fixes #963.

r? @richardm-stripe

@richardm-stripe @remi-stripe I know there are some concerns around
backwards compatibility here, but given that anyone current trying to
use the return value of this method is pretty broken, and has been for a
while, I was thinking about just releasing it as a patch version. Any
objections?

No objection here.

`Customer#delete_discount` has been broken for some time in that it
tries to re-initialize `self` (which is a customer) with a received
discount response. This is incorrect and leads to various problems.

This looks good. Since this is special/non-standard I wouldn't say no to adding a test

Flagging my concern publicly for traceability: Before 5.X calling delete_discount returned a mutated Customer with discount nulled out. With this change in 5.X the same method will "suddenly" return a Discount instead of a Customer. This is a subtle behaviour change that we need to clearly call out in the v5 migration guide if we move forward with this change.

@richardm-stripe I looked into this, and I don't think we can do too much better than the existing test (now change for discount) unfortunately. stripe-mock just doesn't return that much useful data to assert on other than the object type:

From: /Users/brandur/stripe/stripe-ruby/test/stripe/customer_test.rb:62 :

    57:       should "delete a discount" do
    58:         customer = Stripe::Customer.retrieve("cus_123")
    59:         discount = customer.delete_discount
    60:         assert_requested :delete, "#{Stripe.api_base}/v1/customers/cus_123/discount"
    61:         require "pry" ; binding.pry
 => 62:         assert discount.is_a?(Stripe::Discount)
    63:       end
    64:     end
    65:
    66:     context ".delete_discount" do
    67:       should "delete a discount" do

[1] pry(#<Stripe::CustomerTest>)> discount
=> #<Stripe::Discount:0x8e8 id=_G0mwyqMLBk3vJTA> JSON: {
  "id": "_G0mwyqMLBk3vJTA",
  "coupon": {"id":"_G0mwyqMLBk3vJTA","amount_off":null,"applies_to":{"products":[]},"created":0,"currency":null,"duration":"forever","duration_in_months":null,"livemode":false,"max_redemptions":null,"metadata":null,"name":null,"object":"coupon","percent_off":null,"redeem_by":null,"times_redeemed":0,"valid":false},

@remi-stripe Fair enough. Just to confirm: are you okay with the change as long as I update the V5 migration guide as I bring it in?

@remi-stripe

Yes I am okay with the change and it will mirror what we do in subscription.rb too. I just wanted this discussion to be summarized publicly for any developers who ends up on that PR in the future!

@brandur-stripe

Ah, great! Okay, going to pull this in then. I've updated the V5 migration guide.
