Call to a member function getBody() on null

@aarondfrancis I haven't been able to reproduce this error nor find anything in our logs that would indicate there's an issue with our API or wrapper regarding this issue.

I'll be closing this issue now but feel free to comment on this issue or message [email protected] if you see this problem again.

I believe Guzzle has a hasResponse method on the exception object.

http://docs.guzzlephp.org/en/stable/quickstart.html?highlight=exceptions#exceptions

@aarondfrancis do you happen to have an example payload that triggers or has triggered the exception? What method were you using?

[dmlittle]

Also, what version of the wrapper are you currently using?

[aarondfrancis]

From my composer.lock:

"name": "lob/lob-php",
"version": "v2.1.1",
"source": {
    "type": "git",
    "url": "https://github.com/lob/lob-php.git",
    "reference": "f74c6a75cac247691762580fccce8cbe264c4b37"
},

Not sure what the payload is, but if I see another one I'll grab it and post back!

It seems like you shouldn't call getBody on a getResponse knowing that getResponse can sometimes return null.

Even if it's a network issue, I believe the library should handle that gracefully.

Why not call hasResponse before trying to call getBody?

Please check out this SO post: https://stackoverflow.com/a/40644585.

While the answers above are good they will not deal with network errors ...

It's better in this case to expect RequestException and check for a response.

If there are network errors, we need to ensure the application doesn't crash
