I’m following the steps described on Stripe Webohooks docs to setup a local server and test my Webhooks integration. The steps are simple

1. Create and run a node server using Stripe test API key
2. Install and login to Stripe CLI
3. Run stripe listen --forward-to localhost:4242/webhook to listen for Webhooks events
4. Trigger the target Webhooks, in my case stripe trigger charge.dispute.created

The steps are pretty simple, but when I try to run the last step, it outputs the following exception:

Trigger failed: Request failed, status=400, body={
  "error": {
    "message": "You cannot use the test ID 'pm_card_createDisputeInquiry' in livemode. If you are testing your integration, please use your testmode API keys instead.",
    "param": "payment_method",
    "request_log_url": "https://dashboard.stripe.com/logs/req_IF0F0YgB7954el?t=1722687021",
    "type": "invalid_request_error"
  }
}

Just like if I was using the CLI in live mode. I already tried running both stripe login and stripe listen using the flag --api-key and sending my test api key but the result is the same. I have no idea why the CLI is using live mode, I just can’t test the Webhooks in test mode.

I can confirm that live mode is being used because I can see in Stripe dashboard my computer as a registered local listener as well as the temporary restricted keys that the CLI is automatically creating.

OBS: Yes, I’m using the test key in the node server application. No production key is being used in the entire process.
