Using fixtures with Stripe CLI

Question

I want to test my API behaviour by triggering some specific requests using Stripe CLI.

For example:

stripe trigger customer.subscription.deleted # with some fixture here

There is a fixtures command documented as a feature but I do not know how to use it. The documentation says:

The fixtures command lets you run a json file as a series of API requests. This can be useful for things like filling data, executing specific flows, or testing API behavior.

How do I load fixtures into the CLI?

Answer 1

The first step is to create a JSON file with the fixtures in it. The documentation you linked to gives one such example, but it may make it easier for you to get started if you:

• Find the closest available trigger to what you want to do
• Locate the corresponding fixture file in the repo
• Modify it to suit your needs

You can then execute the fixture with stripe fixtures name_of_your_fixture_file.json

You can look up available triggers in the trigger documentation. Remember that fixtures are just going to make a series of API requests, with each object in the fixtures array representing one API call, so you can do anything specified in the API docs.
