Description

Ktor 1.2.4 - Client

  • OkHttp
  • JSON
  • Serialization

Describe the bug It seems that it doesn't catch 404's in an error

To Reproduce

  1. Here's my code:
val httpClientEngine by lazy {
    OkHttp.create {
        if (BuildConfig.DEBUG) {
            addInterceptor(HttpLoggingInterceptor().apply {
                level = HttpLoggingInterceptor.Level.BODY
            })
        }
    }
}

private val httpClient = HttpClient(httpClientEngine) {
    install(JsonFeature) {
        serializer = KotlinxSerializer(Json.nonstrict)
    }
}

suspend fun myFunction(data: Any) = httpCall {
    httpClient.call("my_invalid_url") {
        contentType(ContentType.Application.Json
        method = HttpMethod.Post
        body = MyRequest(data)
    }
}

And here's the httpCall wrapper:

suspend inline fun <T> httpCall(call: () -> T) = try {
    call()
} catch (exception: ClientRequestException) {
    val errorResponse = exception.response.receive<MyErrorResponse>()
    var message = errorResponse.message

    throw Exception(message)
}

However, 404's just pass through this.

Here's the response from the server:

I'm thinking I should need to register an XML serializer? But I can't find anything in the documentation. If I'm missing something, please do point me in the right direction.

Many thanks!

Expected behavior It should catch 404's as an error
