Update Twitter Status Trigger problem

(gja) #1

Hi,

 

We have a trigger setup to post to twitter.  It has been working fine until this year but stopped working after the last upgrade to 4.18.2

 

Running the trigger manually via the trigger manager returns the following warnings

 

WARNING: Twitter returned error while posting tweet: SSL is required [CORE0293] WARNING: Trigger Action: trigger_action_update_twitter_status Failed [CORE0135]
WARNING: FAILURE: Trigger "COSI Twitter Trigger" (Trigger# 67), Event "trigger_event_asset_created" broadcast by "PostGres-XL released to tackle big data analytics and more" (Id# 192982) [CORE0127]

 

The trigger says "Connected to ..." - so it would appear that the account credentials are still ok.

 

Is there something to set to force ssl connection?

 

Thanks in advance,

Georgina.

Hi Georgina,

 

As background, Twitter restricted access to their API to secure connections only as of 14-Jan-2014. We made the change to use HTTPS in the trigger in Matrix 4.18.3/4.16.7 (the February releases; alas the one after your current one). Earlier Matrix versions will have problems connecting as it's hardcoded to use plain HTTP.

Hi Luke,

 

Thanks for the information, it looks like we have to arrange an upgrade to get this working again.
