Errors spawned when trying to tag someone's handle in a DM (unexpected error occurred while parsing request body)

[cooljeanius]

Steps to reproduce:

1. Start typing a DM to someone
2. Type @ and start typing someone's handle
3. Notice the error pop-ups (1 error occurs for each additional letter added, presumably because the handle auto-complete prompt changes with each additional letter added)

Log output:

Let me know if you need anything expanded.

[kheina]

yeah, one thing that would help a lot, is if you could open your console and let us know the url that's returning this response? it's likely search/typeahead.json but if you could confirm that would be excellent, and we can fix this response type

[kheina]

related: #113

Is this the right part?

yeah perfect, unfortunately I don't get that error locally, but your error body may be enough to fix it

[kheina]

ok, I was actually able to replicate the error, I didn't realize this was in DMs and not the search bar like #113 thanks for the report

@kheina any progress on figuring out what's going wrong here? I'm still seeing this occasionally.

[rougetimelord]

Found it! Error is here: https://github.com/kheina-com/Blue-Blocker/blob/main/src/parsers/search.ts#L18-L19 The parser expects there to be a social_context property on the user object.

In my limited observations, if the twitter user is not following or being followed by the extension user then the social_context property is omitted.
