Error Tests
All error messages from the channel manager to Mews must use the error codes listed in Synchronous error response and clearly state in the error message field a full description of the error. Ideally, advice on how to solve the error should also be included, because these messages are forwarded directly to the property via email.
System errors
Required
A list of the error response codes and messages for all potential system errors, including timeout errors, maintenance errors, and general downtime errors.
These must comply with the synchronous simple response requirements including the correct error code and a clear error message.
Unknown reservation error
Required
Mews will push an invalid reservation and send a confirmation to the channel manager.
The channel manager returns { "success": false, "errors":[{ "code": 2, "message": "Reservation {mewsConfirmationNumber} is not recorded in the channel manager." }]}.
These must comply with the synchronous simple response requirements including the correct error code and a clear error message.
Unmapped Space code error
Required
An availability push with an unmapped Space type code is sent from the test hotel to the Update availability endpoint.
The channel manager returns { "success": false, "errors":[ { "code": 10, "message": "e.g. Unknown space type category code.", "categoryCode": "ABC" } ] } as per synchronous simple response.
The response must have the unmapped Space type code and comply with the synchronous simple response requirements including the correct error code and a clear error message.
Unmapped Rate code error
Required
A rate push with an unmapped Rate plan code is sent from the test hotel to the Update prices endpoint.
The channel manager returns { "success": false, "errors":[{ "code": 9, "message": "e.g. Unknown rate code.", "rateCode": "ABC" }]} as per synchronous simple response
The response must have the unmapped Rate code and comply with the synchronous simple response requirements including the correct error code and a clear error message.
Connection inactive or not set up error
Required
The channel manager integration for this property is deactivated on the channel manager side and then a full inventory push is sent from the test property to the channel manager's endpoints.
The channel manager returns { "success": false, "errors":[{ "code": 3, "message": "e.g. The property connection is missing or inactive." }]}
These must comply with the synchronous simple response requirements including the correct error code, either 3 or 8, and a clear error message.
Invalid reservations
Required
The channel manager sends an invalid reservation, e.g. one that fails basic business rules such as having a start date later than the end date.
Mews returns an appropriate processing error (error code 7), which explains why the reservation cannot be created in Mews.
The channel manager logs the error and does not re-send the invalid reservation. If possible, the channel manager fixes the error on its own and re-sends a valid reservation.
