Discovered an unhelpful error when running a CLI command without internet (I didn't know I didn't have internet!):

$ coder ls
Encountered an error running "coder list", see "coder list --help" for more information
error: <nil>

The source of this was that calling Unwrap() on net.DNSError can return nil, causing the whole error trace to get replaced by it. Instead, we'll just treat a nil Unwrap() return value as if there was nothing to unwrap.

The result is:

$ coder ls
Encountered an error running "coder list", see "coder list --help" for more information
error: query workspaces: Get "https://dev.coder.com/api/v2/workspaces?q=owner%3Ame": dial tcp: lookup dev.coder.com: no such host
