Bug in generate_application_jwt function in jwt.py file

[piotr-wasilewski]

Expected Behavior

should return token

Current Behavior

return bytes(token, 'utf-8') in function generate_application_jwt generates exception in jwt.py

During handling of the above exception, another exception occurred:

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "<string>", line 1, in <module>

    self._request_headers['Authorization'] = self._create_jwt_auth_string()
  File "C:\Users\piotr\.virtualenvs\canlock-server-mGAFEtYs\lib\site-packages\vonage\client.py", line 437, in _create_jwt_auth_string

    return bytes(token, 'utf-8')
TypeError: encoding without a string argument

Possible Solution

Hi @piotr-wasilewski I haven't been able to reproduce your issue, this is working fine for me. Can you share more details about the issue you're having?

@piotr-wasilewski this error looks like you haven't generated a token successfully from your private key and are passing an empty string to the bytes method. Can you confirm if that was the case or provide more details so I can reproduce your issue?

@piotr-wasilewski has confirmed to support that the issue was with using an outdated package. Closing this issue now.
