For example, this is what i am doing in test mode:

// test
        const stripeClient = getStripeClient(c.env.STRIPE_SECRET_KEY);
        assert.ok(stripeClient, 'Stripe client is not defined');
        // Create a payment method
        const paymentMethod =
            await stripeClient.paymentMethods.retrieve('pm_card_visa');
        assert.ok(paymentMethod, 'Payment method is not defined');
        // Create a customer
        const email = '[e-mail]';
        const customer = await stripeClient.customers.create({
            email: email,
            payment_method: paymentMethod.id,
            description: 'Created by testing environment',
        });
// ... create subscription to invoke the webhook for invoice payment succeeded


// Inside my webhook ->
// => in my webhook i also use things like:
                const product = await stripeClient.products.retrieve(productId);
// and then eventually use information to populate the database
dbManager.createUser(...);

i can't really create a unit test for this since, vitest would not receive the webhook event

Hi there, you can use stripe-mock to mock some API responese data for your unit testing

[bright token]

got it, i saw that but i was still confused since in my webhook i use the stripe client still. Would that work?

[rain falcon]

What does getStripeClient return ? are you using Stripe Node.js SDK?

[bright token]

i use things like inside of my webhook:

        const event = await stripeClient.webhooks.constructEventAsync(
            (await c.req.text()) as string,
            sig as string,
            c.env.STRIPE_WEBHOOK_ENDPOINT_SECRET,
        );
                const stripeSubscription =
                    await stripeClient.subscriptions.retrieve(subscriptionId);

                const productId = invoice.lines.data[0].price?.product as string;
                if (!productId) {
                    throw new Error('Could not retrieve product id from invoice');
                }
                const product = await stripeClient.products.retrieve(productId);

yea

inside of cloudflare workers but i doubt that matters

Ok you can run stripe-mock in your machine, and use your machine's URL and port when initializing Stripe SDK (https://github.com/stripe/stripe-node?tab=readme-ov-file#initialize-with-config-object)

So that Stripe Node.js SDK will make request to your stripe-mock endpoint for mocked responses.

[bright token]

oh that makes perfect sense.
So basically i could start stripe-mock, setup the stripe sdk to use stripe-mock endpoint as the server.

And in my testing environment, create a mock request to my webhook (since i cannot receive http requests in my testing environment)

thank you
