unable to send direct messages

[neuwirthe]

rtweet 1.0.2
R 4.2.1
MacOS 12.5.1
I created a new twitter app with all the keys needed on developer.twitter.com
I set app permissions to
Read and Write and Direct message
But I am unable to send direct messages.
I get

Error: Twitter API failed [400]
Check error message at https://developer.twitter.com/en/support/twitter-api/error-troubleshooting

I used

rtweet_bot(
  api_key = Sys.getenv("RTWEET_API_KEY"),
  api_secret = Sys.getenv("RTWEET_API_SECRET"),
  access_token =  Sys.getenv("RTWEET_ACCESS"),
  access_secret =  Sys.getenv("RTWEET_ACCESS_SECRET")
) ->
  auth_bot

auth_save(auth_bot,"R_with_rtweet")

and

auth_as(auth_bot)

post_tweet("This is an rtweet test")

works, but sends a public tweet, which is annoying when doing tests

post_message("This is an rtweet test", "neuwirthe")

does not work.

I cannot send a complete reprex because that would imply sending keys and secrets.

How can I make direct messages work?

I think the problem is that you are trying to send a message to yourself and this is not allowed in Twitter. Try sending a direct message to someone else

I create a new account which can receive direct messages from everybody.
I still get the error message.

Mmh, this time when I tried the code I got a warning which might indicate something is indeed wrong:

In addition: Warning message:
Unknown or uninitialised column: `user_id`. 

I will look to it with more detail. Thanks for the report.

Sorry, there was indeed a bug in the post_message. It should be fixed now on the devel branch.

I installed the Level version from GitHub and still get

post_message("test with rtweet", "gabineuw")

Error: Twitter API failed [400]

Did you install it from the devel branch?

In github there are several branches, if you didn't specify the devel branch you installed the default which doesn't have the fix. Did you install with something like remotes::install_github("ropensci/rtweet@devel")? Could you show the output of your packageVersion("rtweet") ? This would help me find which rtweet version have you installed.

My fault. With the Level version from GitHub, things work fine. Thank you Erich
