I want to test stripe webhooks in my local windows dev machine, stripe docs mention stripe CLI as the best /easier way to test webhooks endpoints and sending fake events, I followed the docs to down load stripe CLI into my windows machine, I extracted the executable into my desktop but now I don't know how to properly excute commands in my cmd.
stripe.exe in my desktop, I first tried just simply clicking it, command prompt opened and showed message bellow, after a few seconds the command prompt closes.
This is a command line tool.
You need to open cmd.exe and run it from there.
After that I tried opening a CMD window and drag and dropping stripe.exe into the tab, I get the following list of commands:
C:\Users\GABRIEL>C:\Users\GABRIEL\Desktop\stripe.exe
The official command-line tool to interact with Stripe.
Before using the CLI, you'll need to login:
$ stripe login
If you're working on multiple projects, you can run the login command with the
--project-name flag:
$ stripe login --project-name rocket-rides
Usage:
stripe [command]
Webhook commands:
listen Listen for webhook events
trigger Trigger test webhook events
Stripe commands:
logs Interact with Stripe API request logs
status Check the status of the Stripe API
Resource commands:
get Quickly retrieve resources from Stripe
charges Make requests (capture, create, list, etc) on charges
customers Make requests (create, delete, list, etc) on customers

... To see more resource commands, run `stripe resources help`

C:\Users\GABRIEL>
as you see I can't type any command, something like
stripe login
I'm left with no option to do anything with stripe cli in cmd.
You need to cd
into the folder where you have stored stripe.exe
. In your case that's:
C:\Users\GABRIEL> cd Desktop
Then you simply run stripe commands from there and it'll work. For instance:
C:\Users\GABRIEL\Desktop> stripe --help
OR
C:\Users\GABRIEL\Desktop> stripe login
