kotlin: retrofit2 getting 404 url not found error - kotlin

Question

Getting Response{protocol=http/1.1, code=404, message=Not Found, url=https://test.test.com/service/one}
The url is correct as postman works fine.
I have tried looking into this error but most things come back with URL was in correct. and the error itself is vague.
code that starts it. the builder is a json string that is valid. I have tested it in postman.
CoroutineScope(Dispatchers.Default).launch {
val call = submitService.submitCarton(builder.toString())
Log.d("submit", "begining")
withContext(Dispatchers.Main) {
if (call.isSuccessful) {
Log.d("submit",call.body() as String)
} else {
Log.d("submit", "else....")
}
}
}
service factory:
fun makeSubmitService() : SubmitService{
val url = "https://test.test.com/service/"
return Retrofit.Builder().baseUrl(url)
.client(okHttpClient).addConverterFactory(GsonConverterFactory.create())
.build().create(SubmitService::class.java)
}
interface:
interface SubmitService {
#POST("one")
suspend fun submitCarton(#Body json: String): Response<myModel>
}
Expected results are a json response however I am not getting that far.
edit: I created a okhttpclient and did a request manual and I get a message 200 ok.
code for my test
val JSON = MediaType.parse("application/json; charset=utf-8")
val client = OkHttpClient()
val body = "some json"
val requestBody = RequestBody.create(JSON, body)
val request = Request.Builder()
.url("https://test.test.com/service/one")
.post(requestBody)
.build()
client.newCall(request).enqueue(object : Callback {
override fun onFailure(request: Request, e: IOException) {
Log.e("test", e.toString())
}
#Throws(IOException::class)
override fun onResponse(response: Response) {
Log.d("test", response.toString())
}
})

Solved it myself.
Issue was dumb, retrofit2 was giving 404 even though the web service was returning a error message.
added
implementation 'com.squareup.okhttp3:logging-interceptor:3.12.1'
private val interceptor = HttpLoggingInterceptor().setLevel(HttpLoggingInterceptor.Level.BODY)
private val okHttpClient = OkHttpClient().newBuilder()
.connectTimeout(1, TimeUnit.MINUTES)
.readTimeout(30, TimeUnit.SECONDS)
.writeTimeout(20, TimeUnit.SECONDS)
.addInterceptor(interceptor)
.build()
found out retrofit was sending a very unformatted string
"{ \"all my json filled with \" }"
instead of
{ json }
fixed it by adding
.addConverterFactory(ScalarsConverterFactory.create())
to my service factory
for anyone wondering why I am basically creating the json as a string instead of using a JSON object is because the service I talk to really really wants it to be in a very specific order which JSON just don't care about it however it wants it to look like JSON as well...
