Bug Description

Hi,

please provide a way to test the purchase feature from the client. This should probably involve:
- add a additional "half-public/testing/good-name" state to a for-pay item
- allow the agent to query for those items
- allow the user to reset both the SCA subscription and the launchpad private PPA subscription (either via a UI or automatically after e.g. 2h)
- provide a 1$ package in this state
- provide a 0$ package in this state

(to test both conditions)

QA Steps:
As a normal user, create an app and review-approve it as admin or a reviewer, then as a user who has the qa_application permission,
1) Add (mvo to fill in details when sc client is updated) environment variable and run sc. You should see your ReviewApproved application in the apps available for purchase.
2) Purchase and install the app,
3) View your subscriptions at /subscriptions/, click on the subscription for your app, you should now see a button to cancel the subscription.
4) Click on the cancel subscription button, after a moment you should be informed that the subscription was cancelled (including the LP p3a subscriptions).
5) Uninstall the application and then verify that you can redo steps 1-2.

Another similar report is:

https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/software-center/+bug/681935

but the feature to remove subscriptions again is not outlined there.

I've added functionality for cancelling subscriptions (available to qa users only, and only their own subscriptions), and have added a new authenticated api url which will include non-published review-approved apps (again, qa only).

I'll do an scaclient branch that adds this so sc can use it.

I've not added the $0 and $1 dollar apps - I'm not sure the data belongs as functionality (and we'd have no way to keep it in the correct state anyway). I think we can create these apps and QA will need to ensure they don't QA approve them, or similar? Or alternatively, we can provide a script which will add those apps? Not sure.

Hi mvo! If you get a chance, can you please check the small api addition above, or for clarity:

https://code.launchpad.net/~michael.nelson/software-center-agent/744377-sca-client-test/+merge/59928

which will allow an authenticated request to display apps ready for qa, but only to qa users. If you're happy with it, we'll land it in the agent, otherwise, let me know :)

Hi, sorry for the slow reply. In order to make this work we need to merge
lp:~mvo/software-center/piston-sc-agent
first. We are currently still using the old lazr client code for talking to the scagent.

The piston-sc-agent branch is now in trunk and with the SOFTWARE_CENTER_AGENT_INCLUDE_QA=1 environment set it will get the QA apps instead of the public ones.
