Putting this here so we have the full context

lean fox Jun 23, 2022, 6:08 PM

#

sure

#

I am able to add the customer to test-clock

#

but above error occurs when i try to add subscribtion or schedule

#

Could you pls guide how to test with test clock?

mild yarrow Jun 23, 2022, 6:19 PM

#

Okay so both the Customer and the Subscription need to be brand new. Is this an existing Subscription?

lean fox Jun 23, 2022, 6:24 PM

#

I am creating new subscription via api

#

using the test_clock parameter

mild yarrow Jun 23, 2022, 6:25 PM

#

Okay but you cannot pass test_clock as a parameter when creating the Schedule. https://stripe.com/docs/api/subscription_schedules/create

#

lean fox Jun 23, 2022, 6:38 PM

#

ok, how about subscription?

mild yarrow Jun 23, 2022, 6:39 PM

#

The subscription is created for a Customer. The Customer is the object that holds the relation to the Test Clock

lean fox Jun 23, 2022, 6:41 PM

#

ok, that means addeding test_clock to customer is enough?

#

adding*

mild yarrow Jun 23, 2022, 6:41 PM

#

Yes

#

I get above error now, when I am trying to access the Subscription schedule?

mild yarrow Jun 23, 2022, 6:54 PM

#

What is the value you are passing in for the ID? It appears to be using the wrong type

lean fox Jun 23, 2022, 6:54 PM

#

its a valid id which is present in Stripe

mild yarrow Jun 23, 2022, 6:55 PM

#

But the type appears to be invalid

#

That is what this error is telling you

lean fox Jun 23, 2022, 6:55 PM

#

sub_1LDutJEI3ln3HtoVRwOKoFjk

#

the type is invalid becasue its None Type

#

that means the stripe subscription['schedule'] value is None

#

could you check if it has the schedule value in Stripe?

mild yarrow Jun 23, 2022, 6:59 PM

#

That subscription exists with an associated test clock.

#

I'm not seeing a related schedule though

lean fox Jun 23, 2022, 7:01 PM

#

Shouldn't the schedule be part of test_clock if subscription is?

mild yarrow Jun 23, 2022, 7:02 PM

#

Do you have a subscription schedule ID? The value you provided is the ID for the Subscription.
https://stripe.com/docs/api/subscription_schedules/retrieve

lean fox Jun 23, 2022, 7:04 PM

#

curr_sub_sched = stripe.SubscriptionSchedule.retrieve(curr_sub['schedule'])

#

above failed , so I dont have it

#

without test_clock this works fine and gives an schedule

mild yarrow Jun 23, 2022, 7:06 PM

#

I need to step away but @restive walrus will be able to answer further questions

lean fox Jun 23, 2022, 7:14 PM

#

sure, Hi @restive walrus

restive walrus Jun 23, 2022, 7:14 PM

#

Hi there 👋 please bear with me a moment while I get caught up.

lean fox Jun 23, 2022, 7:14 PM

#

sure, thanks

restive walrus Jun 23, 2022, 7:16 PM

#

Apologies, I understand that this is related to Subscriptions, Subscription Schedules, and Test Clocks, but I'm struggling to understand what the current concern/question is. Would you mind summarizing for me?

lean fox Jun 23, 2022, 7:21 PM

#

Sure

#

I am trying to simulate different scenarios in future for stripe subscriptions

#

via api

#

I have created the customer using parameter test_clock

#

and now the customer and the associated subscription are part of the test_clock

#

but when I advance the clock in dashboard and try to retrieve the subscription schedule, it gives NoneType

restive walrus Jun 23, 2022, 7:25 PM

#

Alright, so it sounds like you're able to create Customer and Subscription within the Test Clock. Were you able to successfully create a Subscription Schedule in that Test Clock as well?

lean fox Jun 23, 2022, 7:25 PM

#

📎 message.txt

#

So the subscriptionSchedule.retrieve works if the test clock is not advanced

#

but once its advanced to any date, it gives above error

restive walrus Jun 23, 2022, 7:29 PM

#

Ah, I think I see what happened.

#

It looks like the Subscription Schedule had a single phase with an end date in Sep 2022 and an end_behavior of release. So now that the Test Clock has been advanced to Feb 2023, the Subscription Schedule has completed and it released the Subscription when it did.

#

So now the Subscription exists on its own and is currently not related to a Subscription Schedule.

lean fox Jun 23, 2022, 7:32 PM

#

what is single phase?

#

how should this be handled ?

#

Could you suggest the right parameters for the Schedule object creation?

restive walrus Jun 23, 2022, 7:37 PM

#

Sorry, I'm not sure what you mean. What are you ultimately trying to accomplish here?

You have a Subscription (sub_1LDutJEI3ln3HtoVRwOKoFjk) that previously had a Subscription Schedule created from it (sub_sched_1LDutMEI3ln3HtoVKLiESWht), but then time moved forward and the Subscription Schedule finished and released the Subscription.

lean fox Jun 23, 2022, 7:39 PM

#

The subscription here is a recurring monthly payment so not sure why its single phase until sept 2022 only?

#

I would assume it to be non-ending with monthly payments unless user cancels the subscription

restive walrus Jun 23, 2022, 7:40 PM

#

You don't need a Subscription Schedule for that, that is the basic behavior of our Subscription objects.

#

Subscription Schedules are used for scheduling changes that should be made to Subscriptions at points in the future.

#

The Subscription remained active and invoiced the Customer monthly until the Customer object was deleted with this request:

lean fox Jun 23, 2022, 8:40 PM

#

Makes sense. Thank you. I have one more related query. Can I also have the payment method object with the test-clock to simuilate the payment failures?

#

Are there other ways in which we can simulate the payment failures in Stripe
