FindReleasesAsync Problem

[RolandoKRC]

Good morning, I would like to report a problem that I am having to see if you can guide me and see how to solve it.
When I execute the search instruction:

var search = new MetaBrainz.MusicBrainz.Query ("Test", "1.0", "asd");
var songs = await search.FindReleaseGroupsAsync ("arid: 90270118-8ed0-4446-bf97-8a09b3f9e8f3");

I get results without problem, but in reality what I require is the search for Releases and when I execute it I get the following error:

var search = new MetaBrainz.MusicBrainz.Query ("Test", "1.0", "asd");
var songs2 = await search.FindReleasesAsync ("arid: 90270118-8ed0-4446-bf97-8a09b3f9e8f3")

System.Text.Json.JsonException
  HResult = 0x80131500

I would appreciate any help you can give me. Thank you.

Looks like release search is returning unexpected json content. I’ll have a look when I get back home.

Looks like this is caused by SEARCH-579.

The lookup returns 2 fields on the release, "packaging" and "packaging-id"; the search returns a single "packaging" field, whose value is an object with two properties - "name" and "id".

I'll see what I can do, but this may remain unresolved until this bug is fixed on the MusicBrainz side.

Oh, and as an aside: there should not be a blank after the arid:.
A search with arid: 90270118-8ed0-4446-bf97-8a09b3f9e8f3 returns 160 results (including several for other artists); one with arid:90270118-8ed0-4446-bf97-8a09b3f9e8f3 only 53.

I'm going to hold off on a full release, in case they fix the issue quickly on the server side.
In the meantime, you can either build from sources, or use the package from AppVeyor.
