Authenticated user returns null result on expired token instead of throwing exception.

[svncsvr]

This is how I acquire an authenticated user to save a few requests for the sake of speed

var authenticatedUser = User.GetAuthenticatedUser(new TwitterCredentials(token.AppKey, token.AppSecret, token.Token, token.TokenSecret));

I am storing these authenticated users in a dictionary.Today I tried revoking application access to my twitter test account manually on their website.After I revoke application access and try using this authenticated user to get timeline, instead of throwing exception it returns null ( I already turned swallow exceptions switched off and made sure exception handling is actually working.)

Would it be possible to throw exceptions in this case as well or will I have to remove my cache mechanism to catch 401 errors and mark locally stored token expired.

If the ExceptionHandler is deactivated then it is a bug.

I will have a look into it.

Thanks for reporting it.

Hi @svncsvr , try to set the propery ExceptionHandler.SwallowWebExceptions = false

let me know

[svncsvr]

Hi Riccardo, I already set it to false.The problem only arises If I store AuthenticatedUser instance with a valid access token in a dictionary for caching purpose and try to use it again (acquired from the cache I am not creating a fresh instance and I revoked the app's access to my twitter account so the token must be invalidated) instead of throwing an exception lets say for timeline calls, it returns null.

Tweetinvi version : 2.1.0

Is there any news on this.I might wanna look into source code and try to figure out what the problem is if there aren't a fix for the this issue.

No news on my side for now, I am currently trying to focus on the Twitter deadline of August 16.

Do you read and write from the dictionary on the same thread? I think the Exception Handler's settings are stored per-thread, so if reading the user out of the dictionary on another thread, you'd need to set ExceptionHandler.SwallowWebExceptions = false; again.

I'm having the same problem even when I add ExceptionHandler.SwallowWebExceptions = false; before every Tweetinvi call it won't throw anything... I'm using the Async classes. Also ExceptionHandler.GetLastException() is always empty...

UPDATE Never mind https://github.com/linvi/tweetinvi/pull/770 should fix this
