TypeError: source.on is not a function

[fishcharlie]

When trying to send a message I get an error: TypeError: source.on is not a function.

Version: 3.31.0

Code Snippet

twilio.messages.create({
    "to": "+18009876543", // I changed the phone number for this issue
    "from": "+18001234567", // I changed the phone number for this issue
    "body": "Hello World"
}).then((message) => resolve(message)).catch((error) => reject(error));

I just realized this occurs when the to property was set to an object. Seems like Twilio should still handle this error better and give a more descriptive error message.

Agreed, easy to re-create and a very odd error. Keeping open for backlog purposes.

easy to find this issue but yeah the error log is not enough

One more data point, it also happens if the "from" value is an object.

The error is now better surfaced after the migration to axios as the underlying request client in version 3.41.0: #542.

Closing as resolved.
