Nothing is wrong with your code -- the "Send test webhook" button sends a correctly formatted JSON event, but all the resources IDs are xxx_000000000.

The "Send test webhook" button is mostly useful for testing connectivity between Stripe and your webhook handler. If you want to test actual functionality, you should generate the events "organically", i.e. by sending the requests that will trigger the events you want.

For instance, to generate an invoice.payment_succeeded event, you should:

create a customer, with a valid card (e.g. 4242424242424242)
create a subscription for this customer

Upon creating the subscription, an invoice will be created and payment will be immediately attempted. If the payment is successful, then an invoice.payment_succeeded event will be emitted (with valid IDs).
