Stripe CLI setup Fixed Priced Subs with Node + React not working

[ElliottJPerry]

Bug report

Describe the bug

Setting up the Fixed Priced Subs subscription use case Stripe sample using the Stripe CLI with options Node + React is not working. After running the Stripe CLI tool, installing dependencies and running the server, navigating to / throws error:

Error: ENOENT: no such file or directory, stat '../subscription-use-cases/client/register.html'

This is because of the following endpoint in server.js:

app.get('/', (req, res) => {
  const path = resolve(process.env.STATIC_DIR + '/register.html');
  res.sendFile(path);
});

To Reproduce

1. Using the Stripe CLI, run stripe samples create subscription-use-cases.
2. Select fixed-priced-subscriptions.
3. Select react.
4. Select node.
5. Run cd subscription-use-cases/server (as per README).
6. Run npm install (as per Node server README).
7. Run npm start (as per Node server README).
8. Navigate to /.

Expected behavior

Successful launch of Fixed Priced Subs subscription use case Stripe sample.

Not working for me, but with a different error.

Node.js v21.5.0

Is Node v21.5.0 not supported?

EDIT: Seems the packages in this sample are extremely out of date:

Run npx npm-check-updates -u to upgrade package.json

Unfortunately, upgrading them introduces a whole host of other problems:

I think this demo needs some work ... :-)

@davidgs
Thank you for the report. The react sample was created using Create React App. The error reported seems to be due to a library used internally by Create React App:
facebook/create-react-app#11708 (comment)

As there seems to be no releases from Create React App from the year 2022, it may be necessary to consider migrating to something like Vite.
As a temporary workaround, please use NODE_OPTIONS='--openssl-legacy-provider' option like the following:
NODE_OPTIONS='--openssl-legacy-provider' react-scripts start

Best.

[davidgs]

Turns out that, I believe, it's because you rely on React 16, so any attempt to use React 18 (or even Node >16.x) fails.

Might be time to update the libraries and dependencies. :-)

[hideokamoto-stripe]

Hello @davidgs ,
I update the React example to replace from CRA to Vite.
#956

Could you try to create a new one from Stripe CLI (stripe samples create subscription-use-cases) ?
Thanks.

[davidgs]

Vite? So an entirely different build system? I'm a little lost as to how that's going to help rather than just updating the requirements to more modern versions of Node and React?

"react": "^16.13.1",
    "react-dom": "^16.13.1",
    "react-router-dom": "^5.2.0"

So still React 16.

Also:

[====================] 8/8 100%

 autoprefixer    ^9.7.6  →  ^10.4.17

 postcss-cli     ^7.1.1  →   ^11.0.0
 stripe          ^7.4.0  →  ^14.15.0

So it's way out of date with the stripe library as well.

On the client side, things are not much better:

Checking /Users/davidgs/github.com/subscription-use-cases/client/package.json

 react-router-dom           ^5.2.0  →   ^6.22.0

Everything is at least a full major-release behind.

[hideokamoto-stripe]

We migrated this example code to Vite for resolving this error:
#730 (comment)

Now we're continuing to work to upgrade each package.

[davidgs]

Interesting that I have never encountered this issue with any other CRA application. I've never had to resort to Vite.
