Request: Stripe InvalidRequestException should provide an error code

[alexg313]

Currently when an InvalidRequestException (IRE) is thrown, no error code is provided. This forces the client to parse a string to determine what exactly the error is. Could the library add error codes where it makes sense?

Example: When calling "charge.capture()" on an already captured charge, here's what is returned as part of the IRE. A code (i.e. CHARGE_ALREADY_CAPTURED) would be great.

e.getParam(): null
e.getLocalizedMessage(): Charge ch_16L0j8A1uVHZiLuVb8Say0YW has already been captured.
e.getMessage(): Charge ch_16L0j8A1uVHZiLuVb8Say0YW has already been captured.
e.getCause(): null

@alexg313 Thanks for the feature request. Since this isn't provided by the API, we can't provide a code through stripe-java. However, we have thought of adding more error codes to detect errors like this. I can't provide a timeline, but we know this is a problem.

We are experiencing the same issue. Is it possible to re-open this ticket?

It looks like the android library has it > stripe/stripe-android#614

@mcbethio this is a 9 years old issue and it's unlikely to be related to your ask. The stripe-java SDK and the Android SDK are completely separate. I would recommend reaching out to our support team for 1:1 integration support help instead: https://support.stripe.com/contact
