Send recurring payment notifications to the donations queue
Open, MediumPublic

Description

We're getting deadlocks when the recurring queue consumer runs at the same time as the donations queue consumer.

Let's make the recurring queue consumer strictly responsible for starting/ending new subscriptions.

The normal donations queue consumer IS capable of handling some recurring payments, but we need to move a little bit of normalization from the recurring queue consumer to the main normalization function.

So there is indeed some recurring-specific normalization happening in the RecurringQueueConsumer, mostly stuff specific to paypal messages. We'd have to move that over to someplace in the donations queue consumer before we merge the above patch.

Ejegg renamed this task from Should we send recurring payment notifications to the donations queue to Send recurring payment notifications to the donations queue.Feb 6 2020, 5:40 PM
Ejegg updated the task description. (Show Details)

The recurring-specific normalization has two parts: 1) finding the contribution_tracking_id and 2) dealing with paypal inconsistencies in migrating legacy to new subscription ID formats.

  1. looks first in the 'custom' field - this should be handled upstream in paypal message normalization.

The first part of this task is to redirect PayPal recurring payment instalments to the donations queue to be processed by the donations queue consumer. We have a WIP patch up for that.

The second part is to transfer the payment-import-specific code that currently exists in the recurring queue consumer over to the donations queue consumer. The code does two things: first, it adds required queue message properties to the payment message before importing it, and it then updates the recurring contribution record with the subscription's next scheduled date and status after the payment has been successfully imported.

The recurring queue consumer does other interesting things during a payment's import, such as reactivating previously cancelled or failed recurring subscriptions and, in some cases, creating entirely new ones. However, we can leave that out for now or add it as a third part of the work once we understand it better.

[wikimedia/fundraising/crm@master] WIP: Donation Consumer recurring payments support. Phase 2

hey @Ejegg I'm trying to come up with a suitable approach to address how we currently handle recurring contributions with and without a related subscription across DonationQueueConsumer and RecurringQueueConsumer.

In DonationQueueConsumer, we permit recurring donations without a related subscription. When this scenario occurs, we create a new subscription and link the newly imported contribution to that subscription as part of the wmf_civicrm_contribution_message_import() call. There's a comment here explaining that this can happen for audit contributions.

In RecuringQueueConsumer, we reject recurring contributions which do not have a related subscription. Checks in the code here ensure a recurring contribution has a related subscription. If not, we throw a MISSING_PREDECESSOR exception with this message "recurring: Msg does not have a matching recurring record in civicrm_contribution_recur; requeueing for future processing."

As part of this work, I've moved the code that previously handled RecuringQueueConsumer::importSubscriptionPayment() to its own class here, and the DonationQueueConsumer, which will now process messages previously sent to RecuringQueueConsumer, will call the new RecurringSubscriptionPayment::importSubscriptionPayment() if the donation is marked as recurring, which is currently leading to the exception being thrown in cases we don't want it thrown. This is where the conflict arises.

To resolve this, I've started down this path, but I actually think that a better approach is to introduce subtypes of the RecurringSubscriptionPayment and handle the PayPal-specific behaviour that way. I'd like to hear your thoughts on that approach and also if you could explain briefly the history behind the difference in handling across both queue consumers. Thanks!
