Hey there

#

Can you try using --override instead of --add?

fathom flame Apr 12, 2023, 4:38 PM

#

tried override, but it looks like it has the same behavior

nocturne spindle Apr 12, 2023, 4:40 PM

#

Hmm thought that would work. One sec let me check

#

Ahh doh

#

That trigger doesn't generate a Subscription

#

https://github.com/stripe/stripe-cli/blob/e0543423c388c2e25f24d7c7093ef2b50b7dbeb8/pkg/fixtures/triggers/invoice.payment_failed.json

#

So what you can do here is actually use the --edit flag if you want (https://stripe.com/docs/cli/trigger#trigger-edit) and open up the fixture in your own IDE and then edit it to generate a Sub and use that Subscription ID

#

Alternatively, it might be easier to just test this by creating a Subscription and then attempting to pay the invoice with a failing card like the 4000000000000341 that declines after attaching

#

the actual scenario i'm trying to simulate is after a user got his subscription working, the regular time interval passes, and it's time for stripe to charge the user again, and the payment fails

nocturne spindle Apr 12, 2023, 4:48 PM

#

Gotcha so what you could do is to use a test clock to test this

#

And you can update the Customer's paymentmethod to the one above after the initial payment

#

Otherwise, you can adjust the fixture as I mentioned above

#

was looking at the test clock feature, but it only seems to let me create a new customer, and not pick an existing one, is this how it's supposed to work?

nocturne spindle Apr 12, 2023, 5:00 PM

#

Yes that's correct

fathom flame Apr 12, 2023, 5:12 PM

#

not really sure how to use the clock though, i tried creating a customer and a monthly subscription, i advanced the time by 1 month and got a few webhooks , "invoice.created" among them. shouldn't i also get invoice.paid ?

nocturne spindle Apr 12, 2023, 5:13 PM

#

You should if the Invoice has been paid

#

Do you have an example Subscription ID that I can look at?

fathom flame Apr 12, 2023, 5:13 PM

#

i see a draft invoice, says it'll be "billed soon"

nocturne spindle Apr 12, 2023, 5:14 PM

#

Yeah so looks like the renewal hasn't triggered yet

#

Try advancing time a bit more

fathom flame Apr 12, 2023, 5:14 PM

#

oh. now it worked

vital templeBOT Apr 12, 2023, 5:15 PM

#

nocturne spindle Apr 12, 2023, 5:15 PM

#

Yeah test clocks can be slightly finicky with exact time

#

So usually going a few hours past the renewal date is what you want to do

fathom flame Apr 12, 2023, 5:18 PM

#

i actually advanced time by 3 days past the regular biling time, and got to the same draft behavior

nocturne spindle Apr 12, 2023, 5:21 PM

#

Hmm I see the invoices for that Sub have finalized

#

And you successfully triggered your invoice.payment_failed event

fathom flame Apr 12, 2023, 5:23 PM

#

yep. i had to do another advance for some reason, but i can work with that

#

so i think i can use the test clocks in this manner. i got a few more not so related questions though, maybe you could help me

if a subscription payment fails and the user doesn't do anything about it, does the subscription get into an expired state automatically at some point?

and if it gets in that point, can it be reactivated?

nocturne spindle Apr 12, 2023, 5:25 PM

#

That is all dictated by your retry settings at https://dashboard.stripe.com/settings/billing/automatic

#

If a Subscription is canceled then it can't be reactivated

#

You may want to take a look at https://stripe.com/docs/billing/subscriptions/overview#subscription-statuses to get a better sense of how to handle the different statuses
