Not working with WSL

[davidwparker]

I just installed the Stripe Extension.

On the sidebar, it asks me to sign in to the Stripe CLI.

I have the Stripe CLI installed within WSL (Ubuntu). I am logged in there.

But the sidebar is not showing anything other than asking me to sign in, or to set a custom path.

What should I be doing?

Thanks!

Hey @davidwparker, sorry for the late response. Do you have the Stripe extension installed client side or the the WSL-side?

Alternatively, if you know the path at which the CLI Is located within WSL, you can set that as your custom path in the panel.

@gracegoo-stripe - It's on the WSL (ubuntu) side.

> which stripe
\usr\local\bin\stripe

I don't seem to be able to set it correctly- what should the proper custom path be? Thanks

Same problem for me. Any solution yet?

Ok, I may have found a solution. If you start vscode through wsl (e.g. in terminal navigate to your project and code .) the stripe extension is working without a problem.

If you have Stripe installed in WSL and you can navigate to /usr/local/bin and you have a stripe file there then this will work for you. In the Local-Installed Extensions window of vscode click the settings icon for Stripe (the gear/cog icon). Then click the Edit in settings.json; this will open a new tab with you settings.json file. Find the line in your settings json file that reads "stripe.cliInstallPath". I am running Ubuntu 20.04 in wsl so my line looks like this "stripe.cliInstallPath": "//wsl.localhost/Ubuntu-20.4/usr/local/bin", then back on the settings tab for stripe in vscode make sure the field under Stripe:Cli Install Path (modified in User) is blank.

This should get it working for you. Hope this helps. If you have any questions let me know and I will try my best to help.
