#asdfractal - test webhooks

Hello
(Just to help you feel picked on, @dawn marlin , I have the same question - while it wasn't really a useful test, it at least checked the endpoint was live...)
I'm checking on this but I suspect it was because the stripe trigger <event> served the purpose better.
well... if you're using the CLI
Pretty much that. This forces use of CLI, when before you could test it was live and then do the rest via code
Personally, CLI wasn't useful for me and mydev environment - but I am very likely the exception
And you are talking about Live endpoints, yes?
if speaking to me - "live" in the sense they are Firebase Cloud Functions, using the test secrets etc.
(I also explicitly check to see if the are in livemode - which they shouldn't be; I haven't activated for live.)
I'm asking because our docs: https://stripe.com/docs/webhooks/test. Seem to suggest by the way they order the text that send test event is still a feature but only if the webhooks are live.
That button doesn't seem to be there anymore.
...sounds like we may have a "whoops", here
@devout ledge can you confirm you have a webhook running in live mode?
When you say live you mean using live API keys rather than test?
If so then no. But this feature was previously available for test and was removed, which is what I'm asking about.
@dawn marlin sorry for delayed response.
Also that doc link does not say to use Live keys, it says to register the url as an endpoint, which it is
In this case it's inferred by the the paragraph being placed under the "take your webhooks live to run tests" headline. I did some digging and it looks like that feature was causing some problems internally and we've had to disable it. We always saw it as a band aid on getting events and we recommend using the Stripe CLI to trigger events.
