Server configuration value (PaymentMethod.preferred_server) is totally ignored

[geofflane]

I'm running a "staging" instance where it's running as Rails production mode, but I want to run things like Payment Processors in test mode of course. With other integrations like Paypal, they respect the server values for that and work as expected.

The "Server" value that is set in the Spree Admin is not used. The server to use is entirely determined by the environment that it's running in instead. Adyen HPP generates the URL by going directly to the Adyen code without using any Payment Method configuration. The redirect_url doesn't provide a way to override the environment either.

@geofflane you mean the server checkbox on payment methods payment right? yeah I don't think we need that at all here. Need to double check that though. Maybe there's some value we need to set on Adyen depending on that flag.

It's a text field titled "Server".
Adyen runs either in "test" or "live" mode, and I expected the value set in "Server" to be passed through to set that mode. (That's how it works for Paypal, for example: sandbox or live.)

To be a bit clearer (hopefully):
Adyen.configuration.environment is the value that is detected based on the Rails environment
PaymentMethod.preferred_server is the value on the Spree side that seems to be used by other PaymentMethods to determine what URL to go to for payment processing.

Got it thanks. Please feel free to submit a PR so that it set the environment based on that flag. Maybe it's as easy as setting it up here https://github.com/spree/spree-adyen/blob/master/app/models/spree/adyen_common.rb#L15-17

I'll try and look into it. I did look at that AdyenCommon class. I wasn't able to determine when/if that was called during the checkout process though.

Thanks @geofflane. It's called any time any of the Payment#Processing methods are called. e.g. authorize, purchase, capture. So my guess is that it's sure called during checkout process.

For AdyenHPP it doesn't seem to be called because the Redirect URL on the Checkout page is generated from the Adyen::Form object directly which comes from the Adyen Gem.
