ResponseException has an HttpResponse on it, but it looks like by the time I catch that exception, the response has already been consumed. I want to parse the json on the response, what’s the best way to do that?

[edenman]

looks like maybe I need to install my own `HttpResponseValidator`…the default one consumes the response body…but then doesn’t set that string on the ResponseException 😭

[Rustam Siniukov]

how do you try to read the response body? exception.response.receive<Type>() should work

[edenman]

exception.response.content.readEntireUTF8()

[edenman]

the response has already been read by the point i get that exception, so it returns empty string

[Rustam Siniukov]

please use exception.response.receive<String>() . content can be consumed only once, indeed

[edenman]

i think because addDefaultResponseValidation does its own exceptionResponse.readText()

[edenman]

ah cool, will try that, tx

[edenman]

yeaahhhhh that did it, thanks @Rustam Siniukov!
