deleted twitter entry remains in gwibber

[Shawn Burns]

Binary package hint: gwibber

Added my Twitter account to Gwibber and sent a test message. After confirming it posted to Twitter, I clicked to delete the message in Gwibber. The message no longer shows up on my Twitter account, but it remains in Gwibber despite refreshing and closing the application. I expected the message to be deleted from Gwibber.

Ubuntu 10.04
Gwibber 2.29.95

I can confirm this behavior too.

[Alessandro Lazzari (lazzari-alessandro)]

It happens to me too, using Gwibber 2.30.0.1

Same issue here

[fenrasa (fenrasa)]

seems like nothing gets deleted from couchDB. Even after apt-get remove && apt-get autoremove (everything was deleted) there were still three tables by gwibber_

[Rodrigo Damian (asonofselene)]

This seems like a big issue for a client that deals only with short messages. Would be cool to view through client what is live on the feed.

i confirm!

I hit this today when hitting the reply button on a DM, and needing to remove the tweet because it contained privileged information. The tweet still appears in my Gwibber timeline, but is obviously deleted from my Twitter timeline.

@Colin Dean:

There is a workaround in case you don't want to keep showing this privileged information in Gwibber:

1) Close Gwibber (use File -> Quit) to ensure the service is closed as well.

2) In a browser, open file:///home/<YOURUSERNAME>/.local/share/desktop-couch/couchdb.html

3) In the couchdb admin page, choose the database "gwibber_messages"

4) Click on "delete database"

5) Restart Gwibber. It will need a few seconds to reload all messages, but the deleted one shouldn't be there anymore.

This workaround was given to me by the main Gwibber developer.

Still occurs in 3.0.0.1 on natty. Deleted messages from a year ago and from seconds ago still show in the Gwibber timeline. (All messages deleted through Gwibber.) Messages are not visible in twitter timeline.

[Nejdet (nejdetyucesoy)]

Still occurs in Ubuntu 14.04. Deleted tweets through Twitter website then clicked "Refresh" button in Gwibber.
Messages are not visible in Twitter timeline (through its website). But Gwibber still shows my deleted messages.
I shouldn't be forced to wipe Gwibber's storage everytime I delete a tweet. A simple refresh should be enough for that.
