What happened?

Upgrading to 4.8.0 makes calling loadStripe to crash giving the error "Neither apiKey nor config.authenticator provided"

Please have a look at stripe/stripe-node#2207

Same here

[Brakkar]

Same here with node stripe 17.2.0 , on a firebase cloud function code. I'm NOT using NextJs at all.

[bclayton21]

Same here, I'm also experiencing this while using firebase cloud functions.

Do you find the solution ? Because I have the same error

[brendanm-stripe]

Doe anyone have an example/reproduction they can share?

@bclayton21 can you say more about how this work? I don't understand how you'd be loading/using Stripe.js in this context.

Are any of you having this issue with this package specifically? @stripe/stripe-js and NOT stripe-node aka stripe NPM package?

@yafkari you mentioned loadStripe which would be from this library. Can you share more about how you're using loadStripe? Are you also providing the PK via an environment variable? This all sounds like something has change with the way environment variables are loaded/initialized, so I would suggest trying first with a hard-coded key, then check your env var key is populated like you expect. If its not, you'll need to investigate why that is.

Hey @brendanm-stripe , thanks for looking into this.

Indeed, I pass env variables to loadStripe. I've put screenshots on my comment here: stripe/stripe-node#2207 (comment)

Should have copied them in the issue, my bad.

[brendanm-stripe]

At the time you call loadStripe are you sure the environment variable has the value you expect? Do you have the same problem if you put your PK in as a string constant?

[abyssbandit97]

function createStripeInstance() {
const stripe = require('stripe')(process.env.STRIPE_SECRET);
return stripe;
}
module.exports = createStripeInstance;

i put this code in a utils/stripe.js file and i get this error: Uncaught Error Error: Neither apiKey nor config.authenticator provided

If I don't use it, I get undefined

[brendanm-stripe]

What is your environment @abyssbandit97 ? Does providing the key as a string constant (not an environment variable) resolve the error?

[WissemF123]

@brendanm-stripe that is my file :
import Stripe from "stripe";

export const stripe = new Stripe(process.env.STRIPE_SECRET_KEY ?? "", {
apiVersion: "2024-09-30.acacia",
typescript: true,
});
And I get the same error

I had the same problem (production only) after the following package updates:

from "stripe": "16.12.0" to "stripe": "17.2.1"
from "@stripe/stripe-js": "4.7.0" to "@stripe/stripe-js": "4.8.0"

After a rollback, the error disappears.
