hey. Witter fails to load the timeline.

does it do this everytime? I think the implication is just that Twitter responded with an empty response, that code hasn't really changed, so I'm hoping that was just a rare instance of twitter fail.
I guess I can add code to try to guard against it.
But probably not for a couple of weeks now.

hmm, not sure how you could work around it if it's wha tit looks like. there must be more to it, since it seems like twitter is just not responding with valid content. presumably other clients are fine though. do you have oauth configured? I know they're switching off basic auth support sometime soon, though I assume that will just cause access denied type probs.

does a manual refresh of the timeline work?

FYI I just saw the exact same error happen to me, but i twas transitory, a minute later refreshed again just fine.
of course this only has to happen once to the background refresh thread to blow it for the whole session. I think it's twitter having problems.

Pretty much the same here. No luck till now trying to fix it.

it seems this is a twitter problem, doing a search on twitterAPI I see a bunch of other clients complaining about the same thing.
Twitter say that they have a fix, not sure when they'll roll it out. But hopefully soon.

Re: witter - a python twitter client

Keep losing my Oauth, so I'm showing up as "API" again. Twitter is going to disable non-Oauth pretty soon...

Pretty strange.

Re: witter - a python twitter client

Yup. DM & Mentions load, but timeline doesn't. The error message is something like "error retrieving tweet, (8, EOF in violation of something)"... damned if I know what.. Should I do a cleanup and try?

By "cleanup", you are refering to which activity? Because I already removed the $HOME/.witter* directories to no avail.

I actually removed all the files, loaded the extras version of witter, then loaded timeline. And then moved to the devel version!

Re: witter - a python twitter client

ok, so the problem that most people were having relates to a bug in twitter, which is supposedly fixed, but doesn't seem to be to me. This bug causes twitter to start sending 'null' entries in the timeline responses, and lots of twitter clients fell over trying to handle them (people that pay for their twitter clients were particularly annoyed) but it presumably only effects ones using python, or generally using a library that didn't handle it.
Anyhow I have no edited the twitter library I'm using to cope with null amongst the statuses.
0.3.6-4 on it's way to DEVEL with this fix.
Also added SHIFT+UP and SHIFT+DOWN as key commands for scroll to top and bottom of timeline.

All this on the day before I get married. This really is it though, no more updates for a couple of weeks.

you mean witter keeps forgetting this setting? have you been removing the .witter files? I've never had witter forget my oauth once set. The only caviat to that is if you configure it, and witter crashes rather than gets closed normally, then it would never have had the chance to save the settings.

you could wait for Twitter to fix the underlying problem (the effected code has been this way for at least 6 months in witter, so definitely a twitter prob)

There are still too many issues with the devel version to push to testing, on the assumption twitter will fix this prob rather than render the testing/extras versions entirely broken.

Re: witter - a python twitter client

"tweet location" doesn't work for me.

Even if phone shows gps on and everything looks like witter gained my coordinates, I can't see later on twitter site my location.

Can someone tell me where witter stores the user settings? I want to reset witter, but uninstall and reinstall doesn't work. Seems some configuration files are left on the device.

Thank you!

Re: witter - a python twitter client

I'm having issues while starting up. Witter just became unresponsive. I tried to delete .witter files, and also reinstalling, and nothing.

Looking at the startup log, it seems to be related to the "oAuthapocalypse", because Witter is trying to log using basic auth:

But the thing is that, since Witter is frozen once it starts up, I cannot access to settings and fix this issue. Do you have any sugestion?

Re: witter - a python twitter client

That is exactly my problem. Can't access the settings dialogue because witter is not responding. Therefore my question regarding the configuration files...

...but doesn't work right now (authentication problems). It seems tweetgo.net is the best solution for twitter on n900 at the moment.

There's a load of .witter files in /home/user - "rm -rf .witter*" should clear them all out.

Re: witter - a python twitter client

I just posted this elsewhere in the forum. Seeing as other seem to be having the same problem as me I thought I'd better post this here as well:

I bumped into a problem with witter. I'd forgotten to configure OAuth and witter just hung on startup when trying to retrieve my timeline. I've posted a bug report about this.

If anyone else bumps into this problem I solved the issue with witter hanging on start up by opening xterm and typing:

Code:

mv .witter .witter.back

You then have to setup your twitter account details again making sure that you configure OAuth in the account setup screen.

Never mind, I found them. They are in Home/User in case you wondered. I delete them and everything worked just fine. Thanks!

Re: witter - a python twitter client

I can't seem to make twitpic work as of lately (I havn't been using witter for some time because I thought it was broken in devel-rep, turned out to be oauth)..

Anyway, does twitpic work for others?

I'd guess that twitpic is broken for similar reasons, twitpic is a separate service, and witter users it by providing username/password, I'm assuming now that basic auth isn't supported I'll need to figure out out to use oauth via twitpic.

Re: witter - a python twitter client

i cannot get witter to work at all. I have setup my account, and managed to get an oauth number fro twitter and enter it into witter, but the app just does not pull any information in at all.

i have been through this thread, and have deleted the folders in /home/user and started again, but still at square1.
