Resty not binding for a non 200 response

[rushmorem]

Hi,

Thanks for the awesome library!

I have a struct that I'm filling with a JSON response from an API endpoint using SetResult. When the endpoint returns a 200 (success status), this struct is filled in just fine. However, when it returns say a 4XX or 5XX error message this struct is empty even though the response body itself has proper JSON.

Just noticed the documentation for SetResult says it will automatically unmarshal "if response status code is greater than 399". I guess you meant "less than" instead of "greater than". However, why this restriction?

Thanks, will continue to make it better along with community.

I would say it is handled based on scenario Success and Failure/Error. I will describe how it is currently structured then share your thoughts. Good catch on documentation end, I have the corrected it.

• If status code is between 200 and 299 considered as success, you can retrieve via response.Result()
• If status code is greater than 399 considered as failure/error, you can retrieve via response.Error()

More info, please have a look at parseResponseBody middleware.

Let's say, you have unified Error structure for all request. In that case, Resty has option of setting Error at client level, instead of every request.

resty.SetError(&Error{})           // or  resty.SetError(Error{})

Makes sense. Thanks for clarifying.
