Description James Gregory-Monk 2009-04-09 23:46:55 UTC

Description of problem:
As of this morning, Twitter deprecated part of the API which Gwibber uses to query for timeline updates. This means that Twitter support is now broken in Gwibber.

While an official release hasn't been sent out yet, it is possible to patch Gwibber, based on the updates made upstream, and was wondering if it was possible to update Gwibber to temporarily fix this issue (until an official release is made).

The diff for the fix is available at:
http://bazaar.launchpad.net/~gwibber-committers/gwibber/trunk/revision/286/gwibber/microblog/twitter.py

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
Gwibber 0.9.1

How reproducible:
Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Load Gwibber and add a Twitter account
2. Attempt to retrieve the timeline, which will fail with HTTP error 400
  
Actual results:
The timeline fails to load with HTTP error 400

Expected results:
The timeline and replies should load in the relevant tabs

I've just installed the updated version and it works fine for me - thanks for fixing this Ian

Confirmed fixed.

For anyone else coming across this bug.  You can tell if this affects you by going to the View menu -> Errors and looking for "Error 400" messages associated to the twitter account.
