hello! have you tried advancing the test clock a few more times?
wet sage
yes i did
does it require to be set 10mins before or something to hit the webhook?
cause i did set it before 10mins and it didnt trigger
stray sorrel
can you share the corresponding object id that you're expecting a webhook event for, and what event type you're expecting to see?
wet sage
inovice.paid
stray sorrel
okay, what's the invoice id? it'll have the prefix in_
stray sorrel
what's the invoice id that you're expecting invoice.paid to be generated for? it'll have the prefix in_

stray sorrel
if i look under webhook attempts in https://dashboard.stripe.com/test/events/evt_1OhOp4CqhyxGoBc4st3TrlL8, i see the webhook event is already generated and sent. Your server also successfully received those events
stray sorrel
why would it be delivered again? I'm not sure i understand the issue here. An event would only be delivered once if your server returned a HTTP 200 response status code
wet sage
advancing a time clock would not hit the request again?
stray sorrel
no, advancing a clock moves the time forward, it doesn't as you put it "hit the request again"
wet sage
so whats the point of advancing the time clock?
stray sorrel
When you use test clocks you simulate the forward movement of time - you can read more about test clocks here : https://stripe.com/docs/billing/testing/test-clocks
wet sage
and when that time comes(forward set time) wouldnt it hit the webhook again with invoice.paid?
stray sorrel
no, it's already been paid
you're moving forward in time
e.g. right now it's 10 pm, you moved the time forward by 1 hour, so now it's 11 pm
the webhook event has already been sent and delivered, there's no reason to resend
wet sage
so how do i make it act like a subsription?
stray sorrel
sorry, but can you explain what you mean by how do you make it act like a subscription?
stray sorrel
you can advance the Subscription to the next billing cycle
stray sorrel
for example, if your subscription bills on the 7 of every month, if today is 7 feb and that invoice has already been paid, then advance your test clock to 7 mar
stray sorrel
your test clock in the screenshot shows that your current simulation time is 7 feb
wet sage
i want it to be 7th feb
but in minutes ahead
but the webhook did not hit
i cannot wait for a month u know, thats the purpose of test clock
stray sorrel
maybe lets step back a bit, the webhook is already sent and delivered for the invoice on 7th feb - do you agree with this?
wet sage
not backwards
im moving forward itself
okay let me explain it more clerarly
subscription created, invoice was paid at 7th feb - 9.23
please note 9.23
i then advanced the time to 7th feb 10.36
why did not the webhook hit again at 10.36?
thats my question
hybrid forum
👋 there
No it's still the same Invoice, and the same Invoice will only send 1 invoice.paid event, no matter whether the time is, as long as it's not retrying
wet sage
invoice is same?
but the webhook should hit right?
so that i will know that user had paid
hybrid forum
Sorry I don't follow the last question. Could you elaborate again?
wet sage
i have created a invoice meaning i have paid right
so im advancing the time, meaning going for the second payment
am i right?
hybrid forum
Which time do you mean for the "first payment" and "second payment" here?
wet sage
first payment at 7th feb - 9.23 PM
second payment - which is when i advanced my time clock to 7th feb - 10.36 ( which did not hit at all)
wet sage
yes
wet sage
but thats the point of using TEST CLOCK right, who would wait till 7th match for testing
i can have it done anytime i want
obviously forward in time, not backward
heyy please i have been chatting for more than 1hour please understand my query and resolve it asap
hybrid forum
No the point of Test Clock is to advance the time, doesn't affect the billing cycle
stray sorrel
the test clock allows you to move the time till 7th Mar
hybrid forum
Of course you won't wait unti 7th March, but you can advance the Test clock past 7th March
That's the point
hybrid forum
Yes
wet sage
thats what i wanted to know, hold on checking after advancing it to 7th march
i advanced it to 7th march
but no event hit except test_helpers.test_clock.ready
hybrid forum
If you look at the Subscription page on Dashboard, do you see the event?
The Invoice is still in Draft
Advance it 1 more hour
wet sage
doing
yes it did hit now
thanks for that, thats what i wanted to know when will it hit and what to do to hit it
hybrid forum
Yeah you are welcomed
