here's my route
above this route within the same file is my endpoint secret
const endpointSecret = 'whsec_6ff242a04..."
when listening for stripe events and checking out as a user in my localhost i get events
but something is up with my actual webhook
like the endpoint is not being hit at all
ember skiff
how did you configure the CLI though?
like did you make it properly forward the events to your localhost?
upbeat girder
stripe listen --forward-to localhost:5000/webhook
gives me back my webhook secret which i then plug into my endpointSecret variable
ember skiff
okay so I think the first step here is to add logs to debug your code overall really
like you have tons of code right now, just remove all of it and do a simple route that just responds with "hello" and debug that
upbeat girder
ah gotchya
ember skiff
like maybe you get the event and something else crashes, so I'd focus on debugging the route first
upbeat girder
will do thank you
what are cli commands i can use to hit this route
without actually checking out and all that
okay mr. koopajah my endpoint is not being hit at all.
hmm
raven sentinel
👋 koopajah is gonna head out soon, but I'm hopping in - let me catch up
upbeat girder
cool cool, basically i am new to webhooks and trying to implement one for a successful custom checkout flow. When a payment.successful webhook handles additional logic..
dumb question but being a post route am i to hit this from my own frontend somewhere during checkout?
raven sentinel
No - we (Stripe) hits that endpoint when it needs to send webhook events. It wouldn't be something you call from your frontend as part of the checkout process
upbeat girder
yeah okay cool
raven sentinel
When you say your endpoint isn't be hit at all - are you sure localhost:5000/webhook is the correct endpoint?
ember skiff
we don't need the secrete it's not relevant right now
like step 1: can you even hit that route yourself? Like does it work with curl?
upbeat girder
router.post('/webhook', requireToken, (req, res) => { console.log("hello")
}
ember skiff
you wouldn't see anything here
the log appears where your Node.js server is running
likely in another terminal
upbeat girder
yeah its not showing
ember skiff
Then ignore the CLI for a sec and debug this as you would any route on your own server
like can you curl it yourself?
what is requireToken for example?
upbeat girder
yes, i can hit the route with postMan
requireToken is a custom auth in my project for protecting routes for certain types of users
ohhh
lol
i could see that being an issue
ember skiff
yeah usually with webhook endpoints you have to disable CSRF and similar things
upbeat girder
yup my three updates are hittin
payment_intent created succeeded & charge.succeeded
ahhh silly mistake
thank you very much for the time ! happy friday to ya
ember skiff
happy to
