From 8defb667e1474f35cf7b6bbeddbb14976ae94b74 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: vishkaty Date: Wed, 15 Jul 2026 22:31:25 -0400 Subject: [PATCH 1/4] fix: accept the spec's in-band error model for business-level failures MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8 Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit Fixes the posture mismatch reported in #55: test_out_of_stock, test_product_not_found, and test_structured_error_messages hard-asserted an HTTP 400, but the spec models business failures in-band — checkout-rest.md's own "Error Response" example answers an all-items-out-of-stock create with HTTP 200, ucp.status "error", and a typed messages[] entry. A merchant implementing the spec's documented posture failed these tests. A shared assert_business_error helper now accepts either posture, each validated strictly: - 4xx keeps the exact assertions the tests always made against the Flower Shop reference (which uses this posture), so reference coverage is unchanged. - 2xx requires messages[] to carry at least one type="error" entry with the full message envelope (type, code, content, severity — required by message_error.json), at least one entry using a standardized code for the scenario (checkout.md error-code table / error_code.json examples), and a ucp.status="error" response to carry no checkout resource (checkout.md: "no resource is included in the response body"). Validated: full 13-file suite results identical before and after against the Flower Shop (main, pip ucp-sdk); a minimal mock implementing the spec's canonical in-band example passes all three tests; injected defects each fail precisely (missing messages[], missing severity, non-standard code, and a resource on a status=error response). --- validation_test.py | 120 ++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++--------- 1 file changed, 98 insertions(+), 22 deletions(-) diff --git a/validation_test.py b/validation_test.py index 77a5301..01aff7d 100644 --- a/validation_test.py +++ b/validation_test.py @@ -41,13 +41,77 @@ class ValidationTest(integration_test_utils.IntegrationTestBase): - POST /checkout-sessions/{id}/complete """ + def assert_business_error( + self, + response, + accepted_codes: set[str], + error_4xx_substring: str, + ) -> None: + """Assert a business-level failure in either posture the spec permits. + + The spec models business failures in-band: checkout-rest.md's own + "Error Response" example answers an all-items-out-of-stock create with + HTTP 200 and ``ucp.status: "error"`` plus a typed ``messages[]`` entry, + and partial failures ride as error messages on a created resource.
