Fatal error when searching in not existing folder about dropbox-php-sdk HOT 7 CLOSED

@markfb Dropbox's API only returns errors (in responses). See => https://www.dropbox.com/developers/documentation/http/documentation#error-handling

Here's how to handle the exceptions thrown by the SDK:

try {
    $listFolderContents = $dropbox->listFolder($path);
} catch (DropboxClientException $e) {
    echo $e->getMessage();
}

Cheers!

This issue only appears if folder is not exist in DropBox which is sending as first parameter
$dropbox->search('/not_exist_folder/', 'file_name')
request as below return fatal error

@tilekus That's an expected Exception. If you try searching inside a non-existing folder, Dropbox's API will respond with an error.

Firstly, many thanks for pulling this great SDK together, I was starting to panic when the native Dropbox API was deprecated... I'm seeing the same exception using listFolder when the folder doesn't exist:

$listFolderContents = $dropbox->listFolder($path);

Is this also by design as it didn't throw an exception in the native V1 API? I'm struggling to find an elegant way around it....

I've now found a way around this. Thanks!

@markfb What was your solution?

Unfortunately it isn't particularly elegant. I'm storing a document count for each folder in my database and checking that it's 1 or more before using listFolder...
