Description Debarshi Ray 2013-11-06 12:42:01 UTC
Due to recent server-side changes made by Facebook, one can not add a Facebook account through the Online Accounts panel.

It fails with the error message: "Authorisation response was: "(null)". This is after logging in successfully, allowing GNOME to read my profile and allowing it to post. As I press "OK" on the last screen, the window closes down and the error message is displayed.

I built gnome-online-accounts-3.8.5-1.el7:

I can't reproduce this bug in gnome-online-accounts-3.8.4.1-2.el7.x86_64 or gnome-online-accounts-3.8.3-1.el7.x86_64

I even tried to remove Gnome application in Facebook settings to go through "allowing GNOME to read my profile and allowing it to post".

Anyway, adding Facebook works in: gnome-online-accounts-3.8.5-5.el7.x86_64

Then, perhaps, Facebook changed their URI again.

As you can see, someone filed an upstream bug report [1] recently and I was able to reproduce it. So something did break at some point, and we fixed the code to be more correct. Therefore I will not worry if the bug has strangely disappeared.

What really matters is that things continue to work today *with* the patch applied. It is important to have the patch applied because it does attempt to make things more correct.

Patched gnome-online-accounts works for me, no regressions so far.
