Providing "city" > 50 chars when updating verified business Customer raises ServerError instead of ValidationError

This is using the Ruby gem:

DWOLLA_CLIENT = DwollaV2::Client.new(key: ENV["DWOLLA_APP_KEY"], secret: ENV["DWOLLA_APP_SECRET"]) do |config|
  config.environment = :sandbox
end

DWOLLA_CLIENT.auths.client.post(
  "https://api-sandbox.dwolla.com/customers/0b29ab8d-d801-4852-89c2-da3ae1174c01",
  {
    "email"=>"bar@example.com",
    "doingBusinessAs"=>"ROAN MOUNTAIN PHARMACY",
    "website"=>nil,
    "address1"=>"8251 US HIGHWAY 19E",
    "address2"=>nil,
    "city"=> "x" * 51,
    "state"=>"TN",
    "postalCode"=>"37687",
    "phone"=>"5555555555"
  },
)

# => DwollaV2::ServerError ({"code"=>"ServerError", "message"=>"A server error occurred. Error ID: fe6c8af1-d27d-4d75-9a73-ab3eca07c706."})

Using "x" * 50 for city works fine. I would expect a ValidationError to be raised with a helpful message, like it is for other length-validated fields such as address1:

DWOLLA_CLIENT.auths.client.post(
  "https://api-sandbox.dwolla.com/customers/0b29ab8d-d801-4852-89c2-da3ae1174c01",
  {
    "email"=>"bar@example.com",
    "doingBusinessAs"=>"ROAN MOUNTAIN PHARMACY",
    "website"=>nil,
    "address1"=>"x" * 500,
    "address2"=>nil,
    "city"=> "x" * 50,
    "state"=>"TN",
    "postalCode"=>"37687",
    "phone"=>"5555555555"
  },
)

# => DwollaV2::ValidationError ({"code"=>"ValidationError", "message"=>"Validation error(s) present. See embedded errors list for more details.", "_embedded"=>{"errors"=>[{"code"=>"InvalidFormat", "message"=>"Address1 must be 50 characters or less.", "path"=>"/address1", "_links"=>{}}]}})

Ah :fearful: , yeah that should be a validation error instead of throwing an exception! Thanks for reporting, we’ll create a bug ticket to get this fixed!
