Hi @Greg-DB , I wanted to add that the thumbnails work when i try it in isolation using the Dropbox .js example. But not here.  Ireally dont see what i am doing wrong. The function just completely fails with one of these `fetch` errors. No matter what I try.

 

async getThumbnail(path: string😞 Promise<any>{
return this.manager.execute(
async () => {
const data: any = await this.client
.filesGetThumbnail({path: path})
.then((response:any) => {
console.log('got filesGetThumbnail response:');
console.log(response);
console.log('got thumbnail data:');
console.log(response.result.fileBinary)
})
.catch(error => {
console.log('got filesGetThumbnail error:');
console.error(error);
});
return ''
})
}

Regarding your "fetch is either a Function or undefined" comment, are you saying that in one case "fetch" was actually a function, but you still got the "fetch is not a function"? That would be unexpected. And that in the other case "fetch" was actually undefined? In that case the error would be expected.

 

Anyway, "dropbox_fetch" is not a name used in the SDK. Was that a variable name you set somewhere?

 

In any case, I can't reproduce this issue, so please provide a small sample project that reproduces it so we can look into it here. Thanks!

hey @Greg-DB  thanks again for all of your help. it turned out to be a webpack issue and not related to the SDK. 

Need more support?
