I just tried using the script bin/ContributionProcessor.php to import a recurring contribution from PayPal, but it fails with the following error and skips the contribution:

"Transaction refused because of an invalid argument. See additional error messages for details. The transaction id is not valid"

Does ContributionProcessor.php not support fetching recurring payment transactions?

PAYPAL ERROR: Skipping transaction id: S-4XM3920876257903R

Hmm.  Yes, non-recurring donations work just fine with ContributionProcessor.php.  I guess it could be a PayPal error, but if so then it seems like it's most likely Civi's API code that is triggering it because the payment goes through just fine and PayPal seems happy.  The error arises when ContributionProcessor.php goes to fetch the contribution.

I guess I'll go through the code and see about adding support for recurring contributions.  It really needs to be able to support them and I sort of consider it a bug if it doesn't since support for recurring contributions is a standard part of CiviContribute.
