[Question]: Request services from `AddTransientHttpErrorPolicy`

[Alex Rosenfeld]

What are you wanting to achieve?

This is possible:

    .AddPolicyHandler((provider, message) =>
    {
           var logger = provider.GetRequiredService<ILogger>();

but I can't seem to find an equivalent here:

    .AddTransientHttpErrorPolicy(policyBuilder => policyBuilder
... snip ...
        ,
        onRetry: (outcome, timespan, retryAttempt, context) =>

Am I missing something? Or is this a gap?

What code or approach do you have so far?

See above for code

This is a question for the ASP.NET Core team -the AddTransientHttpErrorPolicy() method lives in the Microsoft.Extensions.Http.Polly NuGet package which is part of the ASP.NET Core repository: dotnet/aspnetcore.

I'm not sure how much appetite they would have for adding a new method overload though, as that package is superseded by the new resilience libraries which are built on top of the new Polly v8 API and come from the dotnet/extensions repository.

Got it - I've moved over to those new libs, they're very nice. That said, they are missing some features as well, like getting access to the request message / request method.

Still very nice improvement though. I'll close this out.
