hi there!

hi
karmic solar
I recommend reading this doc about testing: https://docs.stripe.com/automated-testing
snow marten
I did it already but it seems not that what I want.
I want to confirmPayment with my public key in my unit test (what usually the phone device, webbrowser or any other client does).
There i can just mock or setup an own stripe web server

I did it already but it seems not that what I want.
can you clarify what you did exactly and why it's not what you want?
snow marten
"See the following section to learn how you can generate a simulated error object." I dont want to simulate anything .. I just want to make the calls from my unit test which usually make the frontend (with clientSecret and private key)
I dont know but maybe its not possible to integrate something like "stripe.js" in java/backend to confirm the payment in the backend
Just a short question:
Is it possible to make a payment in the backend. For example: When I provide the test credit card information, this will be used to confirm the paymentIntent?
karmic solar
I'm sorry I'm confused. if you want an automated test that fills the Payment Element with a card information to then confirm the PaymentIntent on the frontent, then this is not possible as mentioned in the link I shared above.
but it's possible to create and confrm a PaymentIntent from the backend if needed.
snow marten
Okay but to confirm the PaymentIntent i need to provide Card informations, Public Key and clientSecret. Right?
karmic solar
you mean to confirm the PaymentIntent on the frontend? yes. which is not possible to do with automated testing.
snow marten
I dont know if this picture is still up-to-date. But I need to make the frontend part (left side: 1-3) on the backend.
karmic solar
you are using Tokens? this is a very old integration that you shouldn't be using.
instead use PaymentIntent with PaymentMethod

Yes Im using PaymentIntent. This picture was just to symbolize the communication. As I understood:
- Backend creates PaymentIntent. And returning the clientToken to the frontend: paymentIntent.getClientSecret()
- The frontend has integrated the public key and using this clientToken to communicate directly with Stripe.
- The frontend can inform the backend, that he paid and he backend will ask stripe if this happend OR a webhook will tell to the backend that a payment has be done.
So the frontend communicates with the backend and in next step with stripe. I want to have point 2 in my unit test and I dont know if this is possible. But in my case the "frontend" is not the frontend, it will be all done in unit test.

Hello
No, that's not something that you can emulate in your automated tests. Front-end in this case uses Stripe.js and invokes functions that talk to Stripe APIs.
We generally discourage running automated tests against our APIs. You should mock the data instead
snow marten
Like:
String clientSecret = restCall("localhost:8080/pay")
pay(clientSecret)
boolean isPaid = restCall("localhost:8080/isPaid/{myProductId}")

Have you seen this doc?
https://docs.stripe.com/automated-testing
snow marten
Okay.. So It should be mocked .. alright
uncut zenith
Yup
snow marten
Yes i have seen
But yes i was looking for something like "stripe.js" for java or unit-tests
Alright i got it... Mocking makes also less requests to your server 😉
uncut zenith
Yup!
