500 Error when following steveklabnik@rstat.us #698

Closed kytrinyx closed 11 years ago

kytrinyx commented 11 years ago

I entered steveklabnik@rstat.us on a whim into the follow form, and the first time this happened I got the standard rails 500 error. The next couple of times I tried I got a timeout.

Strangely, I ended up with 1 following even though I hadn't followed anyone yet at the time.

On a lark I tried adding nobody@rstat.us, and got a nice error message back explaining that this wasn't going to be possible.

On second thought, maybe I shouldn't be trying to follow someone locally using the remote link. PEBKAC, perhaps?

I'm completely unfamiliar with this project at the moment, so I can't even guess as to whether this is related to other issues (#596 or #565, maybe?).

Not sure when you tried doing the follow stuff, but it might be related to the Amazon US-East problems going on since rstat.us is deployed to Heroku.

Then again, it could totally be something else.

This bug is of the highest priority!!!!!!

+1 on this bug being critical.

Why do you wanna follow him? I hear he's using app.net now.

-1 on this bug being critical-- he hasn't even posted in over a month.

Also, I think this is a duplicate of #565 as you said, @kytrinyx. We should totally make this work just fine.

Closing #565 as a duplicate of this one, though, since this one is more hilarious.

If you follow me on twitter, that can be construed as a feature.

It's true. Otherwise, we would have seen a surge of people request server-side filters. :)

I'm taking this opportunity to refactor some of the code to help us solve this one. I've also thrown my email address at it, uncovering a 404 error from what I believe to be OStatus::Feed. I'll have more later.

gavinlaking commented 11 years ago

I've extracted this out to a couple of services, and tidied up the tests surrounding this which should give more insight and better ability to handle potential errors in this area. I'll be creating a pull request shortly.

I believe everything for this has been merged in, so I'm closing this issue. Thank you for all your work, @gavinlaking!!!! :heart: :heart: :heart:
