Problems with threads & protected accounts

Open sternenseemann opened this issue 11 years ago • 18 comments

When I enter conversation view of a Tweet that is directed to a protected account, I won't see the post of the protected account in the thread.

Uhm, yes? What's the expected outcome? You can't see tweets of protected accounts unless you're following them. Are you following them? That would be a bug then ;)

I am following them, yep.

Probably hard to find a test case, but can you confirm that the above commit fixed it?

Compiling...

sternenseemann avatar Oct 03 '14 18:10 sternenseemann

ok, strange behavior:

  • If I select a tweet of a protected account, the thread is loaded correctly (as before)
  • If I select a tweet of a non-protected account the initial post of the protected account is loaded and the tweets of the non-protected that were posted earlier than the selected tweet.

And now? :)

baedert avatar Oct 03 '14 19:10 baedert

nothing changed, as it seems

sternenseemann avatar Oct 03 '14 20:10 sternenseemann

can you give some more information about the conversation/thread you are viewing? i tested it with unprotected->protected->protected now and it worked for me (also when viewing any of the tweets from the protected user (which I follow).

Viewing a protected tweet:
thread-from-protected

Viewing the same thread from a non-protected tweet:
thread-from-non-protected

So, it seems like 1.1/search/tweets.json just never returns tweets of protected accounts, even if the executing user follows that user. Which is why the "Nein!" tweet doesn't appear in the second screenshot. ._.

how could this possibly be displayed correctly?

sternenseemann avatar Oct 29 '14 12:10 sternenseemann

What do you mean exactly?

baedert avatar Oct 29 '14 20:10 baedert

I thought you were talking about the Twitter API

sternenseemann avatar Oct 30 '14 08:10 sternenseemann

Yes I am. There's no real API to query the replies to a single tweet so we need to use the search API.

baedert avatar Oct 30 '14 13:10 baedert

Ok, then I wonder how there can be a correct behavior in this case.

sternenseemann avatar Oct 30 '14 17:10 sternenseemann

In what case? Where is the correct behavior? The second screenshot only lists one reply where the tweet has at least 2 (one of them saying "Nein!" as seen in the first screenshot).

baedert avatar Oct 30 '14 18:10 baedert

what is wrong with twitter :/

sternenseemann avatar Oct 30 '14 19:10 sternenseemann

The correct behavior would be IMO that the thread would be displayed as if the protected account wasn't.
