NullPointerException thrown when listing events

[jeffreyzupka]

The following code is intermittently throwing an NPE from this line when listing events. We are using v1.2 of the client.

for (Event event : new Event.Collection(Event.resource_href + "?type=credit.failed")) {

I suspect this is due to an API timeout. We'd welcome a pull request to fix it if you have some time.

However, I recommend using a Callback and listing for Events instead of polling /events.

this is the endpoint that we're seeing 502s on so I think you're correct @remear.

i've got a fix coming for the timeouts but i agree with @remear the callback method is the better way to resolve this and means not having to wait for a fix which is still a few days away.

@jeffreyzupka let us know if you want a hand understanding how callbacks work. https://docs.balancedpayments.com/1.1/api/callbacks/#create-a-callback

@remear @mjallday Thanks for the response. We already have a task in our backlog to convert to using callbacks, but it's unlikely that it will get started in the next few days. I'll see what I can do about reprioritizing it, though.

@mjallday We haven't seen this issue in 11 days, so I assume a fix has been deployed?

Hey @jeffreyzupka. Nope, nothing's changed on our end. We're almost complete with the internal migration required to fix the issue but I still see 502 timeouts on that endpoint frequently.
