creating a github issue in octokit.net

Question

I am trying to write a script that will open an issue typed in the console.

For some reason the issue variable comes back empty in the debugger.

class Program
{
    public async static Task Main()
    {
        var client = new GitHubClient(new ProductHeaderValue("test-app"));
        var user = await client.User.Get("medic17");
        var tokenAuth = new Credentials(APIKeys.GithubPersinalAccessToken);
        client.Credentials = tokenAuth;

        var exampleIssue = new NewIssue("test body");
        var issue = await client.Issue.Create("owner","name", exampleIssue);

    }
}

APIKeys holds my token.

Thanks

I found a solution hope this helps someone else as well.

class Program
{
    public async static Task Main()
    {
        // client initialization and authentication 
        var client = new GitHubClient(new ProductHeaderValue("<anything>"));
        var user = await client.User.Get("<user>");
        var tokenAuth = new Credentials(APIKeys.GithubPersinalAccessToken);
        client.Credentials = tokenAuth;


        // user input
        Console.WriteLine("Give a title for your issue: ");
        string userIssueTitle = Console.ReadLine().Trim();

        Console.WriteLine("Describe your issue:", Environment.NewLine);
        string userIssue = Console.ReadLine().Trim();

        // input validation
        while (string.IsNullOrEmpty(userIssue) || string.IsNullOrEmpty(userIssueTitle))
        {
            Console.WriteLine("ERROR: Both fields must contain text");
            Console.ReadLine();
            break;

        }

        var newIssue = new NewIssue(userIssueTitle) { Body = userIssue };
        var issue = await client.Issue.Create(<owner>, <repo> newIssue);

        var issueId = issue.Id;

        Console.WriteLine($"SUCCESS: your issue id is {issueId} ");
        Console.ReadLine();


    }
}

Note You need to store your keys in a separate file and write a class for it so your authentication flow might be different.

Note 2 You must replace all text with real values.
