Wrong behavior for incorrect data about omnipay-stripe

[cfreear]

What is the exception you are receiving and could you provide an example of the card data you are passing incorrectly?

The exceptions happen if obviously invalid data is entered like a too short card number or a expiry date in the past. Maybe this is checked upfront and an exception is then thrown without a request being made.

If this is a valid behavior, the Omnipay documentation should be updated because it says that exceptions should not be displayed to the customer.

If you submit credit card details which are obviously invalid (missing required fields, or a number which fails the Luhn check), InvalidCreditCardException will be thrown. You should validate the card details using your framework’s validation library before submitting the details to your gateway, to avoid unnecessary API calls.

This is expected behavior and the documentation is accurate. Just catch those exceptions and display an error message to the user.

Would be great if someone would extend the documentation about error handling so others don't fall into this trap either: https://github.com/thephpleague/omnipay#error-handling

Well it does say that exceptions are possible, and suggests wrapping the whole thing in a try/catch anyway. I'm not a member of Omnipay/the league btw.
