[BUG] Misleading successful payment msg even when wallet payment fails

[tselit]

Steps to reproduce

Tester feedback
Used rafiki.money to setup 2 different wallets, to easily track my WM sending wallet (starting balance of $50) and receiving wallet (starting balance of $0).
Both wallets are in USD, they're configured to have WM-enabled payment pointers.

• connect WM extension to the sending wallet.
• setup the WM playground to receive payments into 2 payment pointers on the receiving wallet
• use the WM extension to make continuous payments to the WM playground
• use the WM extension to make a one-time payment of $2.50, which split the amount in half, to send to each of the 2 receiving pay-pointers

Observation: The extension shows a "Payment successful" message
Results: Waited 5 minutes...30 minutes...about 20 hrs but there were no successful, or even rejected transactions, and the balances remained unchanged, for each wallet.

Expected result

None of the payments from the WM extension actually succeeded, and so the extension should not show a message indicating successful payment.

Actual result

When making a one-time payment, the extension showed a "Payment successful" message even though the transaction didn't actually succeed.

Screenshots or videos

No response

Additional context

I was concerned that maybe the WM playground or extension may be doing something unexpected.
When I repeat the scenario using a Fynbos wallet, the payments go through.
Erica didn't use the WM playground, instead she added the receiving payment pointers onto a website, but unfortunately she made similar observations.

@tselit Can you share the wallet address of:

• connected wallet
• and the website?

[tselit]

Sure @sidvishnoi . The website was the WM playground, and the connected wallet was:
$ilp.rafiki.money/3rd-new-wm
(this was created specifically for WM, with the "I want to use this payment pointer for Web Monetization" checkbox ticked)

[sidvishnoi]

So me and Radu couldn't both reproduce with non-WM payment pointers.
Also note, WM payment pointers are going away soon. The regular ones will work for WM.
