Help with try-catch block exception

I am getting this error: exception IOException is never thrown in body of corresponding try statement. I am doing what Ben does in the video. What am I doing wrong?

@Override
            public void onResponse(Response response) throws IOException {
                try {
                   if (response.isSuccessful()){
                        Log.v(TAG, response.body().toString());
                   }
                }
                // error is coming from here
                catch (IOException e){
                   Log.e(TAG, "Exception caught: ", e);
                }
            }

According to the video and OkHttp docs it should be request.body().string(), not toString().

response.body().string()*
