Webhooks not working with CircleCI V2

I see a number of other topics discussing whether webhooks are supported or not in the V2 syntax. Obviously this is a critical step in a number of users build environments, so this is assumed to be something that wouldn’t have been lost from the V1 syntax.

However, from the following config that we have included in the minishift config.yml:
notify:
webhooks:
- url: http://minibot.19cf262c.svc.dockerapp.io:9009/hubot/circleci

I see the following error in CircleCI:
unknown exception trying to send webhook to http://minibot.19cf262c.svc.dockerapp.io:9009/hubot/circleci

Can someone please clarify whether this is supported functionality at this point? Is this something that isn’t currently available in CircleCI V2? Should we hold off on upgrading if this is required functionality?

This error indicates that your endpoint was not able to handle the webhook for some reason.

I just checked, and the notify webhooks works 100% in 2.0

Output on my end:

One thing worth noting is that I can’t get to http://minibot.19cf262c.svc.dockerapp.io:9009/hubot/circleci from my computer. Is this on a private network or something?

Levs-iMac:sandbox levlaz$ telnet minibot.19cf262c.svc.dockerapp.io 9009
minibot.19cf262c.svc.dockerapp.io: nodename nor servname provided, or not known

Thanks Levon’s. I was just looking for some confirmation on the web hooks piece as it doesn’t seem to be clearly documented at this point.

Let me confirm some information on the webhook on this end and I’ll update when I hear back.
