I'm wondering whether there is a clean way to create a new file using Octokit in case the file specified doesn't exist, or otherwise create it? I'm currently attempting to do this via a try-catch block. However, there needs to be a more straightforward way to do this except a try-catch block?
private IRepositoryContentsClient Content => _client.Repository.Content;
public void TransmitLog(string logFilePath)
{
var logContent = LogFileToString(logFilePath);
var githubPath = GenerateGithubPath(logFilePath);
try
{
UpdateLog(githubPath, logContent);
}
catch (NotFoundException)
{
CreateLog(githubPath, logContent);
}
catch (AggregateException)
{
CreateLog(githubPath, logContent);
}
}
private void UpdateLog(string githubPath, string logContent)
{
// MY APP FAILS HERE
var existingFile = Content.GetAllContentsByRef(
_owner, _repo, githubPath, _branch).Result;
// update the file
var relevantSha = existingFile.First().Sha;
var updateRequest = new UpdateFileRequest("Log update" + DateTime.UtcNow, logContent, relevantSha, _branch);
var updateChangeSet = Content.UpdateFile(_owner, _repo, githubPath, updateRequest);
}
private void CreateLog(string githubPath, string logFileContent)
{
// if file is not found, create it
var createRequest =
new CreateFileRequest("Log Creation" + DateTime.UtcNow, logFileContent, _branch);
var createChangeSet = Content.CreateFile(_owner, _repo, githubPath, createRequest);
}
EDIT: I initially had both CreateLog
and UpdateLog
declared as async void
, which led to a whole set of other problems. I edited that out since what I'm really interested in is how to avoid this try/catch structure.
