I have this custom exception class

@Serializable
class MyApiException(
    val errors: List<MyApiError>
) : Exception(errors.firstOrNull()?.clientMessage)

@Serializable
data class MyApiError(
    val clientMessage: String
)

But this is not working as expected, even though the errors list is non empty the exception.message field is null
I tried debugging and the errors.firstOrNull()?.clientMessage results perfectly, still message is null

Any idea why?

I'm using KotlinX Serialization to map ktor's api error response to this exception

json.decodeFromString<MyException>(errorResponse.bodyAsText())
