Thanks, looking
oak star
ok

Okay, yeah, You don't pass a test_clock parameter when creating a Subscription Schedule. The test_clock is associated with a specific customer and by using that customer you assign the Test clock to the Subscription Schedule
shell leaf
We lay this out nicely here.
You will need to start fresh. New customer, new subscription schedule
oak star
but now my problem is I already have a customer with certain customerId
shell leaf
Okay but this testing, so can't you just delete that one and create a new one?
oak star
and these customers are actively involved with other things on our application so i need test the flow using their customer Id, is it not possible?
shell leaf
Not with Test clocks
oak star
nope, coz then I cannot use them in my application
i cannot use them in the process of booking n so on
shell leaf
You should not be testing in Live mode, it's a violation of the Terms of Service. So all of this should be test data
oak star
we have been some test data already
given
and it is assigned with booking in our application so they have their own customer Id n stuff
can we use customerId from them for test clocks?
and if not then what purpose does test_clock serves in a subscription? even if I allot a clock Id by manually creating a clock it will never work as it should
shell leaf
The idea and utility of test clocks is to allow you to test various approaches to subscriptions and subscription schedules without having to actually wait for the time to pass.
It is not intended to test with specific existing Customer records
oak star
my problem is that there are other properties assigned to these test customers data and it is purely testing based. Now if I create a new customer for this purpose, it will serve no purpose because then from my database I will have no properties assigned and hence even if I play with clocks it will just advance the time and call my endpoints, but will never execute the code inside
how is that possible that we cannot assign existing customerIds to test clocks? all of them are valid test data
in our application every user is assigned with bookingIds or HostIds and several other properties, how will I assign all this to new user I create for stripe clock testing? it can only work the opposite way, i.e i need to somehow assign existing customer to the clock via customer_id n make use of its clock id in my subscription code
shell leaf
So script Customer creation for Test Clocks that configures the Customer object to match what you are expecting.
The test_clock parameter can only be passed at the time of Customer creation. It is not available for updating customers.
oak star
ok
shell leaf
I can add your feedback as a feature request.
oak star

shell leaf
Okay
