Summary of Changes
Hello @eebbi, I'm Gemini Code Assist1! I'm currently reviewing this pull request and will post my feedback shortly. In the meantime, here's a summary to help you and other reviewers quickly get up to speed!
I've addressed a bug where the EventzClient was causing fatal errors in wp-admin due to unhandled exceptions during API calls. My changes modify the error handling mechanism within the EventzClient to log these issues gracefully instead of throwing exceptions. This ensures that the application remains stable even when the Eventz API returns an unexpected status, improving the overall robustness of the integration.
Highlights
- Error Handling Improvement: The
EventzClient'sdo_get_requestmethod no longer throws anEventzExceptionwhen an API call returns a non-successful status code (not 200 or 201). Instead, it now logs the error using aLoggerinstance, which prevents fatal errors in thewp-admininterface. - Method Return Value on Error: Upon encountering an error (non-200/201 status code), the
do_get_requestmethod now explicitly returnsfalseafter logging the issue, providing a clear indication of failure to the calling code.

Code Review
This pull request aims to fix a fatal error by logging API errors from EventzClient instead of throwing exceptions. While the intention is correct, the current implementation introduces a breaking change by returning false on error. This can cause new fatal errors in parts of the application that are not prepared for this return value. I've left a critical comment on lib/EventzClient.php explaining the issue and suggesting a safer architectural approach to error handling in this case.

This change from throwing an exception to returning false is a breaking change in the function's contract. It can lead to new fatal errors in downstream code that is not prepared to handle a false value.
For example, lib/Eventz.php's admin_event_search_callback() calls $client->search_events() and then accesses $events->items. If search_events() propagates this false value, the code will crash with a "Trying to get property 'items' of non-object" fatal error.
While preventing uncaught exceptions is the right goal, this solution trades one fatal error for another. A safer approach is to handle errors inside the specific EventzClient methods (like search_events and get_item). These methods have the context to return a sensible default (e.g., an empty result set or null) that won't break their callers. I recommend handling the error in the higher-level methods of EventzClient to provide safe defaults to consumers.
