OrderForm.php - process() misses an edge/rare case

[chrisrae]

Line 273

This will cause an uncaught ValidationException as it does not check the Member table, only the members linked to via the Customer table.

If I create an account (say the primary admin account when I install SS) with an email foo@bar.com and then I try to purchase an item using the foo@bar.com email address on the checkout page without being logged in - the system will try to write that member and blow up as a result. foo@bar.com won't be a customer, but will be a member, which SS will find out about when it tries to write a new member on top of it.

@chrisrae agree that this is an issue, would perhaps be resolved with changes to use member extension instead. Discussion here: https://github.com/frankmullenger/silverstripe-swipestripe/issues/42

yes, the whole problem is the Customer class, and as far as I can see, we all agree to re factor out the Customer class in the next release.
For the time being, I don't really see a fix for this issue. At least not one that we could implement quickly.

I would rather invest the resources we have into a new release, than hunting down bugs that will be obsolete by the next version. My vote goes to close as wont-fix unless someone is willing to do a pull request.

Agree with @Zauberfisch, this should be fixed in the next version with the removal of Customer class so we could close this for now. @chrisrae are you happy with that approach?

[chrisrae]

Totally fine.

Suggest temporary fix change line 276 of OrderForm.php to
$existingCustomer = Member::get()->filter('Email', $data['Email']);
