Incorrect URL for stopping admin directory channel

Hey there!

The URL for stopping a directory channel is documented as: POST https://www.googleapis.com/admin/directory_v1/channels/stop

but the library is using something else: POST https://www.googleapis.com/admin/directory/v1/admin/directory_v1/channels/stop

Until today, this “incorrect” URL in the library was actually working, but now requests are failing with a 404! Maybe someone “fixed” this strange inconsistency in the backend?

Testing manually, the documented URL does appear to work correctly while the library URL does not.

Specifying the correct URL in the options arg gets it working again, e.g.

await directory.channels.stop(
  {
    auth,
    resource: {
      id,
      resourceId
    }
  },
  {
    url: "https://www.googleapis.com/admin/directory_v1/channels/stop"
  }
);

Thanks @jacobpgn. My apologies, the workaround you listed should work well for me!

Hey @lucascdsilva – my original comment above includes a workaround!

I don’t think there are any alternative libraries unless you use an HTTP lib to make the request yourself, and it seems unlikely that this issue will be fixed soon (apparently there have been several issues with these paths for many years)

Hopefully the example above will work for you though 😀
