Uncaught exception fetching locked tweet

[half-duplex]

Attempting to load a tweet from a locked account (that the bot account doesn't have access to) causes an uncaught exception.

>>> from tweety import Twitter
>>> app = Twitter("test")
>>> app.sign_in(TWITTER_USER, TWITTER_PASSWORD)
>>> tweet = app.tweet_detail(LOCKED_TWEET_LINK)
Traceback (most recent call last):

AttributeError: 'NoneType' object has no attribute 'get'

This happens reliably with a fresh login, while it works as expected (raises ProtectedTweet) when logged out or when the session has been loaded from the tw_session file.

Tested with tweety 1.1.2 and a7e5be39b75e14b81c9093bffd647f011cb73f35

Problem _raw:

{'entryId': 'tweet-XXXXX', 'sortIndex': 'XXXXX', 'content': {'entryType': 'TimelineTimelineItem', '__typename': 'TimelineTimelineItem', 'itemContent': {'itemType': 'TimelineTweet', '__typename': 'TimelineTweet', 'tweet_results': {'result': {'__typename': 'TweetTombstone', 'tombstone': {'__typename': 'TextTombstone', 'text': {'rtl': False, 'text': 'You’re unable to view this Post because this account owner limits who can view their Posts.

Actually, it looks like the session isn't being loaded properly. From a fresh workspace (rm test.tw_session):

>>> from tweety import Twitter
>>> app = Twitter("test")
>>> app.session.logged_in
False
>>> tweet = app.tweet_detail(LOCKED_TWEET_LINK)
[...]
tweety.exceptions_.ProtectedTweet: Tweet is private/protected
>>> app.sign_in(TWITTER_USER, TWITTER_PASSWORD)
>>> tweet = app.tweet_detail(LOCKED_TWEET_LINK)
[...]
AttributeError: 'NoneType' object has no attribute 'get'

I exit the REPL, and from the tweety account (TWITTER_USER) I request to follow the locked account, then from the locked account I accept.

>>> from tweety import Twitter
>>> app = Twitter("test")
>>> app.session.logged_in
True
>>> tweet = app.tweet_detail(LOCKED_TWEET_LINK) # should succeed
[...]
tweety.exceptions_.ProtectedTweet: Tweet is private/protected
>>> app.sign_in(TWITTER_USER, TWITTER_PASSWORD)
>>> tweet = app.tweet_detail(LOCKED_TWEET_LINK)
>>> 

So the loaded session has logged_in=True but can't load the locked tweet until I re-auth with user/pass. Not sure if this is user error or library weirdness.

You are supposed to call .connect() on the tweety instance after it loads the session, but I think it could be both that (user error) and library weirdness. A loaded session should .connect() itself, ideally, and also not report logged_in = True before it's fully set up.

The wrinkle here is that the plugin code already does .connect() but still gets the AttributeError instead of the expected ProtectedTweet.

Aha, thanks. After app.connect()ing with a saved session in REPL it has the same AttributeError.

Previously UserProtected was raised when UserUnavailable was found in response objext, Twitter recent update has removed it , it now contains empty object, the issue will be addressed in next release.

app.session.logged_in doesn't really means the user is logged in , is it internal attribute solely used by library to determine either we have loaded the session or not. to confirm you are logged in successfully use app._is_connected or simply call app.me , it will return logged in user.

[mahrtayyab]

I will add proper is_user_authorized attribute to determine either we are logged in or not.
