The repo is here. I cannot figure out why the post requests were working just a few weeks ealrier but now stopped working entirely despite the striperoutes not being changed at all https://github.com/Louistam888/RCCF3/tree/reviews

hi there!
what's the exact command you are running? and what's the exact error you see?
vagrant tide
hi ive run stripe login and stripe listen --forward-to localhost:5000/webhook to start the CLI.
everything starts up. but when i try to create the checkout session all of a sudden it has started throwing 404 POST errors
quiet axle
it has started throwing 404 POST errors
so it's actually your server that is returning the 404 error, not the Stripe CLI
so you need to check your server logs to understand the issue
vagrant tide
my backend routes were not changed since the last time I ran this and I am running on local right now
quiet axle
can you double check that your server is running, the routes are working, and you have to errors in your backend logs?
vagrant tide
Not seeing any erorrs in termial and running localhost:5000 in the browser shows Response from Get Route - so I guess the server is running?
quiet axle
can you try with curl (or something similar) to send a POST request to localhost:5000/webhook?
vagrant tide
ok let me try with postman hang on
its tellingme no stripe-signature header value - i put this inunder headers
quiet axle
that's normal. but at least you didn't get a 404 error?
hearty raftBOT
vagrant tide
no it said Webhook Error: No stripe-signature header value was provided.

Hello
Have you tried re-running the stripe listen command?
404s can also be caused by typos in the URL
vagrant tide
yes I restarted the CLI using stripe listen --forward-to localhost:5000/webhook and it'sconnected. same result
elder ember
Can you share the exact 404 message? A screenshot would help too.
Also any code you've written under /webhook path
vagrant tide
Hi it's giving me inb XHRPOST
http://localhost:3000/api/stripe/create-checkout-session
[HTTP/1.1 404 Not Found 7ms]
Payment failed:
elder ember
That error isn't from your webhook
It seems to be returned by your code that creates a checkout session
OR more like it can't find the http://localhost:3000/api/stripe/create-checkout-session path
what happens if you try to make a POST to http://localhost:3000/api/stripe/create-checkout-session via Postman?
vagrant tide
This iswhere the post req is made on the frotned https://github.com/Louistam888/RCCF3/blob/reviews/client/src/components/CheckoutOrderSummary.jsx
elder ember
Isn't your server running on localhost:5000 ? Or do you have two separate servers?
vagrant tide
in postman it says <html lang="en">
<head>
<meta charset="utf-8">
<title>Error</title>
</head>
<body>
<pre>Cannot POST /api/stripe/create-checkout-session</pre>
</body>
</html>
elder ember
Are you running separate servers for your frontend code and backend code?
Your frontend code is making a request to localhost:3000 but based on your webhook URL, your backend code serves on localhost:5000
Can you confirm if request to localhost:3000 is expected here? If not, you'd want to change the URL to localhost:5000 here: https://github.com/Louistam888/RCCF3/blob/reviews/client/src/components/CheckoutOrderSummary.jsx#L74
vagrant tide
yes my frontend is 3000 and backend is 5000
elder ember
Gotcha. So that's the issue.. Your frontend is calling itself when trying to create checkout session
instead of calling your backend
vagrant tide
Sorry am i'm a bit confused what i an supposed to change inthe code. am i getting rid of create-checkout-sessoin?
elder ember
No.. your code by default makes a POST request to http://localhost:3000/api/stripe/create-checkout-session
localhost:3000 is your client-side server
You need to change the URL in your POST request to http://localhost:5000/api/stripe/create-checkout-session so that the request goes to your backend code
vagrant tide
If i change this on my frontend it still gives me 404
elder ember
Can you share the exact error please?
vagrant tide
same ones as before
elder ember
what happens if you make a POST request to http://localhost:5000/api/stripe/create-checkout-session via postman?
