I’m trying to debug some code in my paypal instant payment notification
action.
Why can I not access the breakpoint placed inside the action that paypal
POSTs to? It just doesn’t find the server, but it works fine when placed
inside other actions.
I’ve appended the code to the end of this post.
Thanks everyone!

def paypal_ipn
notify = Paypal::Notification.new(request.raw_post)
breakpoint
split = notify.item_id.split('-')
@order = Order.new
@item = Item.find(split[0])
@user = User.find(split[1])
@order.user_id = @user.id
@order.item_id = @item.id
if notify.acknowledge
begin
if notify.complete? and @item.amount == notify.amount
@order.status = 'success'
send email
else
logger.error("Erm. Failed to verify Paypal's notification.")
end
rescue => e
@order.status = 'failed'
raise
ensure
@order.save
end
end
render :nothing
end

silly question i know…but are you sure IPN is calling you back? Do
you have
confirmation in the access log of your web server?
Yes, I can see it in my development.log. I’m having trouble getting the
acknowledgement to work, hence the need for the debug.
Why not try putting a breakpoint above and below the IPN call to see if
it stops. If it does then you know it is getting called and stopping
at the breakpoint.
Then you can see what happens when you type ‘exit’ in irb.

It doesn’t work above the breakpoint unfortunately.
