how to test edge case errors

[Yurii Korotia]

Hello

I have several edge cases I would like to test semi-automatically.. or even manually

1. AuthorizationErrorReason::CUSTOMER_NOT_ACTIVE
2. RateExceededError
3. DatabaseError

how do I test  such errors on test account? Maybe there is way to simulate it somehow.

Hi Yurii,

Thank you for reaching out. If you would like to test in an automatic fashion, you could utilize the testing framework. If you would like to do that manually, you would have to do it via the Google Ads UI. However, based on the nature of these errors, they are more appropriate to be tested via code.

Thanks and regards,

good morning

thank you for your answer.

yes, I did unit testing for it, but I was wondering to see real response from your servers, as you have sometimes errors in partialErrors property.

So, basically, I am curious if those errors are throws as exceptions or returned in partialErrors property too.

Hi Yurii,

Thank you for your email and follow up. Going back to the list of errors you wish to test out :

1. AuthorizationErrorReason::CUSTOMER_NOT_ACTIVE
2. RateExceededError
3. DatabaseError

Most of items #1 and #3's scenarios would not be possible using test accounts. As for the RateExceededError, you can refer here for more information on how these limits are encountered. You can test getting the rateScope = DEVELOPER by hitting the limits associated to a test account level access as stated here.

As for the rateScope = ACCOUNT, you may try and perform a high number of requests within a short period of time against a single Google Ads (test/production) account. 

For partial failures, you may refer to this documentation instead for the implementation. Please note as well that not all scenarios or errors in the supported services may be tested using test accounts.

Best regards,

hello Peter

Yes, I know about those docs. Thank you for confirmation that I need to check those errors on production-like account. I will continue in that direction then.

You can close this topic. Thank you very much.

have a nice day!
