👋 happy to help

have you followed these steps https://docs.stripe.com/webhooks#test-webhook ?

[arctic prairie]

let me check

I used that before we were on a sandbox but the dashboard in my sandbox has different instructions which is why I am using the preview plugin

[arctic prairie]

our webhooks worked before but this is the first time trying this since we started using sandboxes

I couldn't find any docs on the preview plugin (guessing because it is beta)

[azure musk]

yeah I know nothing about this either sorry, I've never used Sandboxes or this version of stripe-cli

[arctic prairie]

is Sandboxes too early for us to be using then? It has been great for everything until we started on webhooks

[azure musk]

not sure, I haven't been involved in Sandboxes at all to be honest

[arctic prairie]

is there someone you can connect me with that knows about sandboxes or the preview plugin?

[azure musk]

I don't think there's such a person on my team right now but I'll ask

[arctic prairie]

ok thank you

[azure musk]

ok nobody on my team has touched Sandboxes really

I'd suggest opening a support ticket at https://support.stripe.com/?contact=true or contacting anyone you might have spoken to at Stripe about getting acess to this(sorry for being vague, I just genuinely haven't followed at all what/where Sandboxes are in the beta->fully available train)

[arctic prairie]

Ok thanks, appreciate it

[dense sedge]

hey @arctic prairie sorry we were still looking into this

and we finally found the issue

so basically the way the Stripe CLI preview plugin work is that it differentiate the current (ie v1) requests/events from the next (ie v2) requests and events

so explaining the CLI command you sent I would have to break it down into smaller pieces

[arctic prairie]

sure

[dense sedge]

stripe preview means that you are using sandboxes instead of the default stripe CLI which links to test mode/live mode

[arctic prairie]

no problem I appreciate the help

[dense sedge]

stripe preview listen means that you want to listen to all v1 and v2 events

stripe preview listen --forward-to <url> listen to all events but only forward v1 events to the url

stripe preview listen --forward-to <url1> --v2.forward-to <url2> listen to all events but forward v1 events to url1 and v2 events to url2

[arctic prairie]

what makes an event v1 or v2?

[dense sedge]

stripe preview listen --v2.forward-to <url> listen to all events but only forward v2 events to the url

all requests under api/v1 would generate v1 events

[arctic prairie]

I will test it now without the v2

[dense sedge]

in the API reference docs https://docs.stripe.com/api/ you can see if a request is /v1 or /v2

for example create a customer is POST /v1/customers which generate a v1 event

[arctic prairie]

aha that is now working thanks so much

not sure where to give the feedback but this needs to be changed as I had no idea whether to use v2 or not

[dense sedge]

sure thing! just fyi, we don't normally know much about private betas on this channel! I was just interested in your use case and had to go down the rabbit hole to dig and test and find some answers for you. If you happen to have any other follow up questions about v2 I encourage you to contact https://support.stripe.com/?contact=true

[arctic prairie]

ok understood, appreciate you going down that rabbit hole, big help 🙂

[dense sedge]

I agree and I will forward your feedback that I share with our internal team

if you're good I will close the thread again now

[arctic prairie]

sure ty

[dense sedge]

would you mind just sharing the link from this screenshot? like where did you get this snippet

[arctic prairie]

It is in my stripe dashboard so I don't know if a link would help

In the workbench

in a sandbox

[dense sedge]

oh ok it's in workbench!
