[Bug 1185031] Re: Tweet parsing problem

 

I would say that you better to use a quality parsing library to do that stuff, rather than manually .replace...
Because it's the better method to forget many entities in the parsing list. :^)

By the way, two new tweets with problem detected (even with the last revision r244, which includes the fix so):
1/ http://i.imgur.com/OBjSixI.png -> https://twitter.com/iVerger/status/339683424216428544 (seems to be the " at the end, which becomes part of the URL)
2/ http://i.imgur.com/xnBVznt.png -> https://twitter.com/MagaliPernin/status/339690878882959360 (same remark)

Title:
  Tweet parsing problem

Status in Birdie:
  Fix Committed

Bug description:
  Tweet parsing problem:
    => See this screenshot: http://i.imgur.com/NfF8d4y.png
    => Tweet concerned: https://twitter.com/MKERone/status/339364094786285568

  N.B.: Also note that, visibly, when 1 tweet only is returned in search
  results, it appears at the bottom of the window, rather than at the
  top. I'll report that in a separate bug report.

  OS: Ubuntu 12.04.2 LTS (with XFCE)
  Birdie version used: the last one available in the DAILY repository (did an "apt-get install birdie" to update it few minutes ago).

  *EDIT*
  In fact, I suppose it's the "greater than" character (>), the problem, in this case.
  From the text of the tweet. Not the & from the URL.
  Need to parse all special characters so.

  *EDIT 2*
  Problem already resolved in the next revision visibly, cf. my comment below.
