can’t you just do ``` val result = client.get<HttpResponse> { /* your code here */ } val data ...

can’t you just do

val result = client.get<HttpResponse> { /* your code here */ }
val data = result.content.readRemaining().readText()

I am her the error at the .get method: "Suspend function "get" should be called only from a coroutine Or another suspend function. So I new in this Topic. Where I am looking for ist an method like: fun name(){...} which Call the Service and Chance one Attribute After that

[mkporwit]

Ah. You can wrap the client.get in a runBlocking { }, or you can make the call from a suspend function.

[mkporwit]

So your code would now be:

val result = runBlocking {
    client.get<HttpResponse> { /* your code here */ }
}
val data = result.content.readRemaining().readText()

` val htmlContent = runBlocking{
client.get<HttpResponse>{
url {
path("/inventory/start")
}
}
} ´
Now I am get the error: "Exception in thread "main" java.lang.IncompatibleClassChangeError at kotlinx.coroutines.experimental.Job$DefaultImpls.invokeOnCompletion$default"

Hi, @damian. What version of ktor do you use?

[Damien]

'0.9.2'

[mkporwit]

So this seems to work just fine for me:

val data = runBlocking{
                            client.get<HttpResponse>{
                                url(URL("<https://www.google.com>"))
                            }.content.readRemaining().readText()
                        }

[e5l]

You could also just write: client.get<String>("url")
It converts the response to string automatically

[mkporwit]

readRemaining() is also a suspend function, so also needs to be in the runBlocking {}

[mkporwit]

Oh, sure, that would also work if that’s all you need from the response.

[mkporwit]

So yes, this would be more compact:

val data = runBlocking{
  client.get<String>("<https://www.google.com>")
}

Yes, but I think the type is not the Problem. I have a brake point in my server, but I am never reach this (with postman or browser, this works). So the error occurs bevor sending the request.
