failed to get URL: %w

Error message

failed to get URL: %w

What it means

httpRequest.Url() invokes the runtime object's 'url' method via the raw-objects bridge. 'failed to get URL: %w' means the bridge call failed — the runtime object could not execute 'url', so no URL value was produced.

Solutions

  1. Inspect the wrapped cause (%w) to identify the underlying failure
  2. Ensure the request object is used within the same dispatch/lifecycle it was created in
  3. Confirm the runtime exposes a working 'url' method for this request kind
  4. Re-dispatch the request if the object is stale
Defensive patterns

Strategy: try-catch

Validate before calling

if req == nil { return errors.New("request unavailable") }

Type guard

func (h *httpRequest) hasURL() bool { return h != nil && h.RawObject != nil }

Try / catch

u, err := req.Url()
if err != nil {
    return fmt.Errorf("cannot read request URL: %w", err)
}

Prevention

When it happens

Trigger: Calling Url() on a request whose backing raw object is invalid or detached, or whose 'url' method raises in the runtime.

Common situations: Using a request object after runtime disposal; handler scripts that error while computing the URL; API changes between client and runtime versions.
