Re: Replies with twitter4r

[S Potter]

As a quick update on the Twitter4R 0.3.1 release. I wasn't feeling
well this weekend, but I have something working.

I am not a fan of releasing this without thorough testing (that I
currently do not have on the #to_xml fix), but the interface will
remain the same, so if you want to get started writing your apps, you
can add the following require patch do your application to get
started.

-----
gem 'twitter4r', '=0.3.0'
require 'twitter'

class Twitter::Client
@@TIMELINE_URIS[:replies] = '/statuses/replies.json'

alias :old_status :status

def status(action, value = nil)
return self.timeline_for(action, value || {}) if :replies == action
self.old_status(action, value)
end
end
-----

Sample code would look like:
client = Twitter::Client.new(:login => 'bla', :password => 'yadayada')
client.status(:replies)
client.timeline_for(:replies, :page => 3)

When I tested this in IRB this morning I intermittently kept getting
the following error being raised:
>> Bad Gateway (Twitter::RESTError)

This is an issue on the Twitter.com server side. Looks like there are
having one of their not so hot moments right now. So if you get this
error, wait a little while for Twitter.com to stabilize and then try
again.

Hope this helps people get moving quickly. When Twitter4R 0.3.1 is
released you will be able to remove the patching code between the
-----.
Thanks,
