Direct messages no longer work

[girish]

Actually, direct messages don't work for me in https://pixelfed.social/account/direct anymore either. It just keeps spinning.

Reported here - https://github.com/pixelfed/pixelfed/issues/2752 . @onlybro I will stop debugging since I don't think I can do anything to fix this without having a stable release where DM is known to work. You will have to reach out to the upstream author.

I was able to reproduce the direct message issue within a docker container, and I think I know why it is happening.

https://github.com/pixelfed/pixelfed/blob/4ad3de3b885b8d21a53ca9cc8a4a83e2a1d4a459/app/Http/Controllers/AccountController.php#L129-L132

in the account controller, the following SQL query is generated:

[2021-05-10 21:41:58] local.DEBUG: array (
0 =>
array (
'query' => 'select * from profiles where id != ? and profiles.id = ? and profiles.deleted_at is null limit 1',
'bindings' =>
array (
0 => 297440899045134336,
1 => '297465207490482176',
),
'time' => 37.91,
),
)

As you can see, the id in the URL gets treated as string and that's why the query does not return any results.

I made a preliminary patch on this branch with int casts wherever necessary and it resolves the issue locally, but there must be some sort of underlying issue that needs to be investigated to tell why this stopped working
