Internal exception instead of callback exception on UserServices API call

Question

I authenticated the application and wanted to call UserServices.GetUserByEmailId() but when using an invalid e-mail (accidentally typed user#host.com instead of user@host.com) it triggers an internal exception, instead of my c# callback exception. I expected my callback to capture the exception so I can treat it. The current design seems to trigger the termination of my Editor app (I mean it stops playing, not that it crashes :) ) so I expect the same to happen in a standalone build. I don't think mistyping an emailaddress in a textbox should cause this. Is this by design? Cause I don't think it is a good way. I expect my callback to capture everything sent by the App42 Cloud API. Can you please check?

Hi Xian,

As per the current implementation of the SDK, it checks the bad parameter related problems locally and throws exceptions. You have to use try - cache to catch the exception and handle it there. The exceptions raised by the server will be provided in onException callback.

I hope it helps.

Thanks.

Yeah I already used try/catch, but I thought it is a bug. So this is the intended mechanism. Thanks for the clarification, however, I recommend adding this info in the documentation. It isn't really straightforward and the only reason I guessed how was trial & error while also assuming it's a bug :)
