C# client returns unhelpful exception message when URL is incorrect

Bug Report

Version

0.83.1

Platform

Windows 64-bit, Azure Function App

Description

While testing changes to our Azure Function App that utilizes the Svix C# client, we began getting 404 errors trying to send messages. After much headache, we realized the issue was that the URL we had provided to the client had a "/" at the end (https://api.us.svix.com/). The message returned by the client simply stated the following: "Error calling CreateMessageApiV1AppAppIdMsgPost:", with no other indication of what might be going on.

It might be helpful to include more specific information after the colon, indicating that the provided URL is causing issues when making calls to the API.

Thanks for the report!

One thing worth noting: you don't need to actually set a URL, it's automatically done by the libs based on the auth token. Though this is a good point about URL normalization and error messages!

@tasn thank you for the quick response!

I saw that the URL is optional in the documentation, but in implementation, it appeared to be required for the SvixOptions class, which is required for the SvixClient. Perhaps I missed something in the documentation outlining a different way of creating the client that didn't require the SvixOptions as a parameter.

That's not good, thanks for the report! :)
