chengyu - webhook testing

Hi

[jaunty mortar]

hello

[keen pumice]

I think that is because dev.localhost is not generally understood to refer to your own local machine.

[jaunty mortar]

yeah so how to fix that by updating etc resolv.conf

?

[keen pumice]

I start my workday by running the following:

stripe listen --forward-to localhost:8000/webhook2/ --log-level info

Because i have my test integration running on port 8000

I think all you need to do is just use localhost.

[jaunty mortar]

but do to a programing issue I need that dev

subdomain

[keen pumice]

That server is running on your local machine?

[jaunty mortar]

yes

[keen pumice]

And you can reach it by typing dev.localhost into your browser?

[jaunty mortar]

yes

[keen pumice]

Hmmmm... 🤔

[jaunty mortar]

here is a proof subdomain can be reach by browser

[keen pumice]

Because you are using a subdomain, have you tried adding the http:// prefix?

e.g stripe listen --forward-to http://dev.localhost:5000/v6/stripe/webhooks/

[jaunty mortar]

the thing I can see is even browser understand I can not ping dev.localhost

[keen pumice]

Unfortunately I'm not sure what's going on here. Could you try running a simple server directly on localhost to see if the dev. is really the issue? I'll reach out to my colleagues to see if anyone has experienced this before.

[jaunty mortar]

I got it working

need to update etc to tell machine what is dev.localhost

[keen pumice]

Ok cool! If you don't mind sharing, what did you update?

[jaunty mortar]

somehow browser is clever enough to handle how every there are some command line tool still relay on etc

I am on mac so I have updated /etc/hosts

[keen pumice]

Very.nice!

I think for linux it is /etc/resolv.conf

[keen pumice]

I'll have to test that out. I run linux on my personal computer.

👍 I have used archlinux for 3 years, eventually I throwed that PC and bought a MAC 😂
