Webhook event handler is currently only allowed to have
:ok
as a response to an event. This means that if for whatever reason we need to reject the event, Stripe sees the following 500 HTTP status code error:This provides 0 context and is semantically wrong.
Changes in this PR allow for
handle_event/1
functions to return:error
or{:error, reason}
for more context into an error that occurred. HTTP response will use400
status code and contain the error message as a response body. Otherwise the behaviour remains unchanged and it will still raise for any other return values.resolves #697
