Creating a new order - 'base - Internal error'

Retired Boards Appdev Customers Discounts And Orders
1

When making requests to the API to upload a new order, occasionally we will upload two orders in a row that are using the same customer name, address ect. However, when the call to upload the second order is made the API returns an error - base - Internal error. If we requeue the order that fails it will upload successfully. It’s difficult to reproduce this error as both orders need to be uploaded at the same time - we’ve seen it twice in the last ~100 uploads.

Hey @MStrudwick ,

If you can reproduce this again, can you provide an example X-Request-Id headers from the request that is returning an error, as well as from the successful retry? Other insights such as an example request body, endpoints, and exact server errors may also help us get a better idea of the functionality! - Cheers

I will try to reproduce this error, and provide you with headers - don’t have logs of the headers.

The endpoint is: /admin/orders.json

The exact error is the same as stated above: base - Internal error

This is the body that caused the error (removed some sensitive data - fields are not empty)

{
  "order": {
    "line_items": [
      {
        "variant_id": 39874618392755,
        "title": "",
        "price": 7.19,
        "quantity": 1,
        "properties": [
          {
            "name": "Order Date",
            "value": "2021-09-03"
          }
        ]
      },
      {
        "variant_id": 39874618458291,
        "title": "",
        "price": 7.19,

        ]
      },
      {
        "variant_id": 39874615050419,
        "title": "",
        "price": 7.19,
        "quantity": 1,
        "properties": [
          {
            "name": "Order Date",
            "value": "2021-09-03"
          }
        ]
      },
      {
        "variant_id": 39874618032307,
        "title": "",
        "price": 7.19,
        "quantity": 1,
        "properties": [
          {
            "name": "Order Date",
            "value": "2021-09-03"
          }
        ]
      }
    ],
    "customer": {
      "id": 5130613424307
    },
    "shipping_address": {
      "first_name": "",
      "last_name": "",
      "address1": "",
      "phone": "",
      "city": ",
      "province": "",
      "country": "",
      "zip": ""
    },
    "shipping_lines": [
      {
        "title": "UPSN",
        "price": 0,
        "code": "UPSN"
      }
    ],
    "email": "",
    "source": "UPSN",
    "title": "UPSN, No Signature Required, Standard Service",
    "currency": "USD",
    "note": "Thank you for your purchase. If you ordered a dditional items they will arrive separately."
  }
}

The error occurs when we immediately upload another order (same endpoint), with the same shipping address details. The customer number always stays the same, as that is referencing a ‘shop’ rather than the actual customer. However, if we upload the failed order again it will succeeded.
