#

stripe trigger is a command to trigger a specific Event type by running a list of commands. It's unrelated to the forward part

#

if you want to forward real Events happening in your account you use stripe listen

#

I've got a local listener set up, but I'm trying to trigger the events properly using my create checkout session route I've just created. When I use the secret starting with whsec_ that points to my CLI, i get invalid secret, when i use the normal test one, it works, but my local webhook obviously isn't getting triggered

tardy mango Oct 24, 2023, 4:57 PM

#

when you use the CLI you have to use the CLI's secret

mortal plank Oct 24, 2023, 4:59 PM

#

yes but when I use that secret it complains it's not correct

#

Stripe.apiKey = theclisecret is correct right?

#

or should that still be the normal secret

tardy mango Oct 24, 2023, 5:02 PM

#

you're misunderstanding it all 😅

#

that is the API key the sk_test_123 to make API requests, nothing to do with the secret used to sign Events delivered to your webhook endpoint

mortal plank Oct 24, 2023, 5:06 PM

#

okay, well that got me a little further, now when I deserialize the event to get the stripe object, the optional always returns null

tardy mango Oct 24, 2023, 5:07 PM

#

what does "the optional always returns null" mean?

mortal plank Oct 24, 2023, 5:09 PM

#

sorry, the optional returns empty. I'm using kotlin and it converts to null

#

https://hst.sh/tiheqetome.yaml this is the response i get back, omitted some personal fields as I just used GPay to test

#

this is event.data.toString()

tardy mango Oct 24, 2023, 5:12 PM

#

My guess is that we send you an Event with API version A but the stripe-java library you use supports API version B

#

They have to match

mortal plank Oct 24, 2023, 5:13 PM

#

I'm googling that and I can't find a way to change the api version

#

on the cli

tardy mango Oct 24, 2023, 5:14 PM

#

yeah sorry this can be a bit cryptic at first. Your account has a default API version in the Dashboard, likely set when you created the account.

#

Events are generated based on that specific API version and sent to your webhook endpoint for you to process

mortal plank Oct 24, 2023, 5:14 PM

#

yes I did upgrade this to latest, has the cli not updated yet to this latest 10-16?

tardy mango Oct 24, 2023, 5:15 PM

#

If you use stripe-java, you need to check the API version you're using based on the version of the library

#

okay so if you explicitly upgraded to the latest, are you using the latest stripe-java 24.* or are you on an older one like 23.*?

mortal plank Oct 24, 2023, 5:15 PM

#

oh yes, I was on 23.5, upgrading to 24.0

#

rather than silently failing in stripe-java shouldn't it explictly error

#

well anyway it's working now, thanks for your help
