admin-ajax not working correctly

[beaconmartinb]

So According to the Codex and a 12 Gold Badge wordpress.stackexchange member the following code should work, but it does not I think there is a bug in the add_action handler for 'wp_ajax' because the action is never being run.

So this is my simple test case:

<?php
class testClass {

    public function __construct(){
        echo "hello world";
        add_action('wp_ajax_beacon_podio-get_apps', array($this, "get_apps"));
    }

    public function get_apps(){
        if(isset($_POST['app_id'])){
            $app_id = $_POST['app_id'];
            die("Request is valid");
        }else{
            die("Invalid request");
        }
    }
}
new testClass();

Testing with request to from browser with logged in admin account:
/wp-admin/admin-ajax.php?action=wp_ajax_beacon_podio-get_apps

Expected Result

hello worldInvalid request

Actual Result

hello world0

The question an answer that made me think this is a bug: ​https://wordpress.stackexchange.com/questions/332878/wordpress-ajax-action-how-to-return-content

Sorry the URL I'm testing within that is incorrect I'm actually testing with /wp-admin/admin-ajax.php?action=beacon_podio-get_apps as it is in the Stack Exchange link

There's no bug for this ticket. Like what the reporter mentioned on comment 1. The correct url should be

wp-admin/admin-ajax.php?action=beacon_podio-get_apps

and not

wp-admin/admin-ajax.php?action= wp_ajax_beacon_podio-get_apps
