nothing working on v 65.0

[davidbutz]

Using v 65.0 of code.

Suddenly nothing works.

Example: string templateId = "x"; var result = _client.Templates.GetAsync(templateId).ConfigureAwait(false);

blows up. New as of this weekend.

When you say "nothing works" and "blows up", what do you mean exactly? Any error message you can share? Stack trace? Any specific steps to reproduce? If appropriate, can you share the JSON returned from Sendgrid?

Oh and by the way, version 0.65.0 is almost two years old. There's been two dozen releases since then. Have you tried upgrading to the most recent version?

Quick observation: the code sample you included in your comment invokes an async method but does not await the result. I'm sure it's just a typo you made when raising this issue but I figured I would point it out to eliminate this possibility.

I know this is important. But. No. No errors. I call from a webjob to build a list of notifications . then simiilar to this function below, the message had always gone out, until this weekend....

Nothing is "caught", just returns the task back as false. will not advance past the code i mentioned above.

I know i am old. I write then expect it to work... forever? Was busy trying to get out urgent comm. so I had to port over to https://github.com/sendgrid/sendgrid-csharp

I've LOVED stronggrid in many many many projects. I know it sounded frustrated/and likely frustrating for you to not have all the pieces. I've shared what I can for now..

public async Task<Boolean> SendInternalStaffMessage(string subject, string message, string email, string name)
{
    try
    {
        string templateId = "d-ddd6f9533a8545c99c6360b74ba6c367";
        var dynamicTemplate = await _client.Templates.GetAsync(templateId).ConfigureAwait(false);

        var dynamicData = new
        {
            Subject = subject,
            Message = message
        };
        var toList = new List<StrongGrid.Models.MailAddress>()
        {
            new StrongGrid.Models.MailAddress("dbutz@selectivewm.com","David Butz"),
            new StrongGrid.Models.MailAddress(email,name),
        };

        var from = new StrongGrid.Models.MailAddress("info@selectivewm.com", "Selective Wealth Management");

        try
        {
            var messageId = await _client.Mail.SendToMultipleRecipientsAsync(toList, from, templateId, dynamicData).ConfigureAwait(false);
            return true;
        }
        catch (Exception e)
        {
            var mistake = e.Message;
            return false;
        }
    }
    catch (Exception e)
    {
        Console.WriteLine(e.Message);
        return false;
    }
}

Looking at the code you posted, it looks like you return "false" when an exception is caught:

        catch (Exception e)
        {
            var mistake = e.Message;
            return false;
        }

and also:

    catch (Exception e)
    {
        Console.WriteLine(e.Message);
        return false;
    }

So, the fact that you say it just returns the task back as false leads me to believe that an exception is actually caught and your code swallows it. I bet you would see the actual error if you removed the "catch".

You can close this. I simply cannot explain it. But... I rewrote EVERYTHING to use SendGrid's package. Deployed. Then for kicks and giggles wanted to get you a better error- for everyone's sake. And Voila! It is working. The ONLY change was adding a use StrongGrid; statement atop my class.

It would have been cool to get to the bottom of it and figure out what was causing the issue but I'm glad it's now working.

I'll close this issue but I'll be more than happy to reopen if you ever get more details.
