How to create Events for test fixtures?

[daniel-hampton]

I'm trying to write tests for a function that processes Stripe events. Running into a problem creating test fixture data for these event types: https://docs.rs/async-stripe/0.23.0/stripe/struct.Event.html

At the moment, I'm stuck on how to even create a mock EventID. https://docs.rs/async-stripe/0.23.0/stripe/struct.EventId.html

I see in the repo there's a test that uses a mock client, but this seems complicated for what I'm trying to do. https://github.com/arlyon/async-stripe/blob/master/tests/checkout.rs

Any advice?

If you'd like to open a new one with the same contents I will try to get it merged for you.

Note that for this you still need a real signature, which you could get for example from triggering one using the stripe CLI

thanks for the reply. I'll look at the PR.

Someone pointed me at these part of the code where it's creating IDs by deserializing with serde. Which makes sense.
https://docs.rs/async-stripe/0.23.0/src/stripe/ids.rs.html#642

Might work for my use case.
