WP.paymentStatus getting updated before WPP.status display for bulk payments

[sandhiyakavi]

Description:

I am able to view in some cases WP.paymentStatus getting updated to 'completed' even before the WPP.status is changed to 'completed' (still in 'in-progress') status while performing bulk payments.

@sandhiyakavi This is fixed now together with topcoder-platform/taas-apis#213.

It was issue in TaaS Api. It should be fixed for existent and for new payments.

@maxceem I verified this issue. I am still able to view WPP.status getting updated before WP.paymentstatus and hence sometimes it's like it is providing us wrong status.
Note: If we refresh again it is also updated and showing correct status. The problem here is since we need to refresh each time to know the updated status and WPP.status sometimes updating before WP.paymentstatus

@sandhiyakavi unfortunatelly it's not that easy to fix this issue at the moment. There indeed could be deplay between statuses update and paymentStatus might get updated first before the status of corresponding payment.

The internal reason for this is caused by the fact that we send Kafka events to ES Processor, but order of which these events would be processed is not guaranteed for different topics.
So this is the same kind of issue, as if we process payment, reload page, but possible could still get old status instead of in-progress.

I guess the only solution is to merge ES Processor into TaaS API which is a big change. So I would say this that this could be listed as a know issue which we cannot fix for now. Though I don't think it's very critical, as most likely we don't have to open payments popup immediately and can track payment status using main status in the table.
