#1156 accepted defect

Direct tweets sent to one's own account are not shown

Reported by: har@… Owned by: dx
Priority: normal Milestone:
Component: Twitter Version: 3.2.1
Keywords: twitter Cc:
IRC client+version: irssi 0.8.16-rc1 Operating System: FreeBSD
OS version/distro: FreeBSD 10.0-RELEASE

Description

I'm using IFTTT (ifttt.com) to send tweets when specified events happen. IFTTT uses my own twitter account to send a direct tweet to me. That is: it uses the provided account to send a direct tweet to the same account. In this mode, bitlbee does not create a new chat window, and the message is not seen.

Other info:

  • The DM *does* show up in Twitter's web UI.
  • If someone I'm following DM's me, it *will* spawn a window.
  • Twitter timeline works fine, all commands seem to work fine
  • Using irssi as IRC client
  • The self-targeted DMs do not show up in rawlog

DMs to your own account? Do those even appear in the streaming API feed?

Replying to wilmer:

I did not see them when I dumped rawlog.

We don't have a way to get streaming api logs... so can't answer that easily. I guess other twitter clients should get them...

Dear past-dx: don't do that.

Now I have no clue what the patch is. Whatever, will debug it again.

Component: BitlBeeTwitter
Summary: Direct tweets sent to one's own account will not create new window in irssiDirect tweets sent to one's own account are not shown

Just fixing the component, but i'll add: Fixing this requires fixing self-messages (in the meaning of http://wiki.bitlbee.org/SelfMessages ) and handling echoes, which twitter is kinda shitty for.
