Bug #38639 for WWW-Myspace: get_inbox not finding any messages

Subject:

get_inbox not finding any messages

It seems they HTML of the inboxes must have changed (probably yesterday after a maintenance period of a few hours during which they disabled login), as get_inbox can no longer see any messages at all. Probably only a regex needs changing; I'll most likely take a closer look at this later today, unless someone beats me to it.

Fix has been committed to SVN (R-634), and will be in the next release (0.85).

Thank you very much for this. I just discovered this module and it looks incredibly useful for a project that a client has requested of me. The SVN version works great now. When will an official release happen for 0.85? By the way, I am a perl developer and would certainly not mind assisting with updates to this module in the future when available. Thanks again, Ryan

Hi, I'm glad things seem to be working well for you. Hopefully the essential features are running smoothly at the moment. You will probably find that some features break occasionally (when Myspace makes changes to the website). I'd encourage you to run 'make test' regularly and have the 'login tests' configured using two test accounts as explained in the README; this will usually warn you if something breaks. There will be countless possible features not yet implemented. And some methods don't have (m)any tests in the test suite and might not be working any more. The easiest way for anyone to help is to report anything that's not working, or requests for new features, to the bug tracker. If you can fix/implement things in the module yourself and submit patches then it would help even more; that's explained in the documentation here: http://search.cpan.org/dist/WWW-Myspace/lib/WWW/Myspace.pm#CONTRIBUTING Version 0.85 has already been uploaded to CPAN; it is the same as the latest SVN and the only real change was to fix this bug (RT#38639, get_inbox). It can take a few hours for files to be mirrored, and for various webpages related to the module to be updated, etc. Regards, -- Steven Chamberlain steven@pyro.eu.org

Hi Steven, Thank you very much for the reply. I did read the documentation on contributing and will do so hopefully in the future. Sorry to spam you here, but I am logged into the rt system via a bitcard account, can you tell me if there is any way to set up notifications on responses to posts on this system? I just happened to check the bug report page again but it would be fantastic to have notification via email on replies here. I'm sure I'm missing something obvious but I just don't see that as an option anywhere. regardless, thanks again and I will certainly post relevant patches int he future should the need arise. -Ryan

Hi, If you report a new issue to RT, you are automatically notified of replies to it. But if you post a reply to an existing issue (as you did here), it looks like it doesn't subscribe you. I can't see any way for people to manually subscribe themselves, either. When log I log in as a developer to write a reply, I can manually add people to the CC list. In future I will try and remember to do that; hopefully the other developers will do this too. It might be best if you write something like "please CC me on replies" at the end of your post. The CPAN RT has a few annoying quirks, and this seems to be one of them. Regards, -- Steven Chamberlain steven@pyro.eu.org
