Research direction

Start with anonymous_authentication_provider.rb and the call at faraday_request_adapter.rb:52, then reproduce the issue with the PostsClient snippet in the report. Check the return from authenticate_request and verify that the anonymous provider no longer causes the HTTP layer to call resume on nil and that the request completes successfully.

Written by the indexing model from the issue text.

Description

auth_provider = MicrosoftKiotaAbstractions::AnonymousAuthenticationProvider.new()
request_adapter = MicrosoftKiotaFaraday::FaradayRequestAdapter.new(auth_provider)
client = Client::PostsClient.new(request_adapter)

all_posts = client.posts_by_id("5").get.resume

This results in the following error:

/home/jasonjoh/.rbenv/versions/3.1.2/lib/ruby/gems/3.1.0/gems/microsoft_kiota_faraday-0.11.0/lib/microsoft_kiota_faraday/faraday_request_adapter.rb:52:in `block in send_async': undefined method `resume' for nil:NilClass (NoMethodError)

        @authentication_provider.authenticate_request(request_info).resume

As a test, I modified anonymous_authentication_provider.rb, changing the authenticate_request to:

def authenticate_request(request)
  Fiber.new do
  end
end

And that resolved the error.
