After updating to elasticsearch 7.5.1 following code is now causing an exception "Entry point not found"
//old code worked just fine
var verifyRepositoryResponse = this.elasticClient.VerifyRepository(new VerifyRepositoryRequest("C__MYFOLDER_Backup"));
//new code throws
var verifyRepositoryResponse = this.elasticClient.Snapshot.VerifyRepository(new VerifyRepositoryRequest("C__MYFOLDER_Backup"));
Note that making following request via fiddler
POST http://localhost:9200/_snapshot/C__MYFOLDER_Backup/_verify HTTP/1.1
User-Agent: Fiddler
Host: localhost:9200
Content-Type: application/json
Content-Length: 0
returns
{"nodes":{"1cWG9trDRi--6I-46lOlBw":{"name":"DESKTOP-5L01F6I"}}}
any ideas what causes the problem here? Unfortunately there is zero documentation on that matter.
UPDATE: Calling the code with a non existing directory as argument
var verifyRepositoryResponse = this.elasticClient.Snapshot.VerifyRepository(new VerifyRepositoryRequest("C__DOESNOTEXIST_Backup"));
I will get a 4xx response as expected in this scenario. Before all tests, repositories and db have been cleaned.
Update: Adavanced error information:

This is a bug. VerifyRepositoryResponse's Node property is attributed with a JsonFormatterAttribute that expects to deserialize an IDictionary<string, CompactNodeInfo> when the property type is IReadOnlyDictionary<string, CompactNodeInfo>. This is problematic for the underlying JSON serializer which uses strongly typed formatters, IJsonFormatter<T>, where the type T must match exactly.
I've opened an issue to track and a pull request to fix the issue. For now, you'd be able to workaround the bug by using the low level client exposed on the high level client
var response = client.LowLevel.Snapshot.VerifyRepository<DynamicResponse>("C__MYFOLDER_Backup");
and traverse DynamicResponse. Alternatively, use StringResponse and parse using JObject or JsonDocument and traverse.
