Direct messages no longer work

[girish]

@onlybro It seems there is also a staging branch - https://github.com/pixelfed/pixelfed/commits/staging . Let me check if it helps if I update to that branch

Latest dev seems to throw an exception with direct messages.

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

[girish]

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.

Direct messages does work to me when I login to pixelfed.social site without any issues.

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

And the following

https://github.com/pixelfed/pixelfed/commit/2d0a253e071280c692b14516a6aac8d6c33c44d5

Daniel informed that he is using MySQL however the issue of sending messsges yet persists it’s still there not able to send messages yet

[onlybro]

as per the developer this seems to be a issue with configuration
