Question:
I am trying to setup custom pricing for courses based on the number of sessions remaining when the customer purchases the course - and am receiving the following error that I cannot figure out how to resolve.:

applicationError:
    description: Failed contacting the pricing provider for price calculation
    code: ERROR_CONTACTING_PRICING_PROVIDER
    data: {}

Product:

What are you trying to achieve:
I have setup a custom booking experience so customers can select a course (based on some filters), book, and pay. Our business model is each of our courses runs for 8-12 weeks and customers can sign-up anytime after the course has started - but will only be charged the lesson (session) price x the number of lessons remaining. All of the logic is working well - including the custom pricing calculation (calculatePrice) - however there is something not right with my SPI setup that is preventing the custom pricing being applied to checkout.

What have you already tried:
I have read everything I could find and worked through the examples and tutorials . I validated that the full custom booking workflow (through to payment) works without custom pricing. I have also tried deleting and re-adding the SPI/extension.

Additional information:
custom-course-price.js

import { getPerWeekPrice, getRemainingSessions } from 'backend/custom_bookings';

export const calculatePrice = async (options, context) => {
    const price = await getPerWeekPrice(options.booking.bookedEntity.schedule.serviceId);
    const remainingSessions = await getRemainingSessions(options.booking.bookedEntity.schedule.scheduleId, options.booking.bookedEntity.schedule.lastSessionEnd);
    const finalPrice = price * remainingSessions;
    if (options.booking.bookedEntity.tags[0] == "COURSE") {
        return { calculatedPrice: finalPrice };
    } else {
        return { calculatedPrice: price };
    }
};

custom-course-price-config.js
export function getConfig() {
  return {pricingProviderName: "calculatePrice"}
}

Thanks for your help!

Looks like this may be due to a bug that was recently patched. Can you try again and let me know if it works now?
