Not able to create a Stripe plan via the API

Question

I have the following service class:

class CreatePlan
  def self.call(options={})
  plan = Plan.new(options)

  if !plan.valid?
    return plan
  end

  begin
    Stripe::Plan.create(
      id: options[:stripe_id],
      amount: options[:amount],
      currency: 'usd',
      interval: options[:interval],
      name: options[:name],
    )
  rescue Stripe::StripeError => e
    plan.errors[:base] << e.message
    return plan
  end

  plan.save
  return plan
  end
end

When I try to execute in the rails console I am getting:

irb(main):002:0> CreatePlan.call(stripe_id: 'test_plan', name: 'Test Plan', amount: 500, interval: 'month', description: 'Test Plan', published: false)
Plan Exists (0.4ms)  SELECT  1 AS one FROM `plans` WHERE `plans`.`stripe_id` = BINARY 'test_plan' LIMIT 1
=> #<Plan id: nil, stripe_id: "test_plan", name: "Test Plan", description: "Test Plan", amount: 500, interval: "month", published: false, created_at: nil, updated_at: nil>

Yet there is no plan whatsoever in the DB table. Also, there is no plan with such stripe_id in Stripe.

==EDIT

I've changed quite a bit the code but I am still getting the same error.

Here is the Service:

class CreatePlan
def self.call(options={})
Rails.logger.info "creating the new plan.."
plan = Plan.new(stripe_id: options[:stripe_id], amount: options[:amount], name: options[:name])
Rails.logger.info "done creating the new plan.."

if !plan.valid?
  Rails.logger.info "plan not valid.."
  Rails.logger.info plan.errors.full_messages
  plan.errors.full_messages
  return plan
end

begin
  splan = Stripe::Plan.create(
      id: options[:stripe_id],
      amount: options[:amount],
      currency: options[:currency],
      interval: options[:interval],
      trial_period_days: options[:trial_period_days],
      name: options[:name]
  )
  Rails.logger.info "stripe insert went well.."
  Rails.logger.info splan.created
rescue Stripe::StripeError => e
  Rails.logger.info "stripe insert did not go well.."
  if e.message != "Plan already exists."
    Rails.logger.info e.to_s
    Rails.logger.error e.message
    plan.errors[:base] << e.message
    return plan
  else
    Rails.logger.info "Plan already exists."
    Rails.logger.info e.to_s
    Rails.logger.error e.message
  end
end

plan.save

return plan
end
end

I'm executing it via DB seeding like this:

CreatePlan.call(stripe_id: 'basic', name: 'Basic', amount: 999, interval: 'month', currency: 'gbp', trial_period_days: 10)

And I am getting:

What am I doing wrong?

Answer 1

I now accidentally closed the browser tab containing the Stripe console and re-opened it and - voila - the Plans were there! It seems that the Stripe console does not refresh even if you click the Plans link repeatedly. You need to close the browser tab and re-open it. That's really lame. Anyway, thank you, @Mark, for trying to help.

I'm thinking that you might be interpreting the output of the console incorrectly as I have done in the past:

Plan Exists (0.4ms) SELECT  1 AS one FROM `plans` WHERE `plans`.`stripe_id` = BINARY 'test_plan' LIMIT 1

This doesn't mean the plan exists. The rails console is essentially just telling you that it's checking for the existence of a plan. The console doesn't show you the result of that query so whether it exists or not isn't indicated.

I suspect that your plan isn't being saved for some other reason but your code doesn't log any errors to your console, instead it returns a Plan instance which you could check for errors on:

irb(main):002:0> plan = CreatePlan.call(stripe_id: 'test_plan', name: 'Test Plan', amount: 500, interval: 'month', description: 'Test Plan', published: false)
irb(main):002:0> plan.errors.full_messages

Try that out and see if there's something else preventing the plan from being saved.
