401 from Twitter after sending a status with a valid configuration

[fabianpiau]

Hello,

I cannot send a status on twitter since April 22nd. It was working fine before for many months. I did not change the config related to Twitter on my app or on Twitter side. I've tried changing the settings on my app, regenerated the keys, created a new app, but it did not work.

Twitter always respond with:

ERROR: 401 :: Could not authenticate you.

Note I was able to post a status manually with Postman using the same credentials and OAuth1.
I think something has changed on the Twitter API that is not compatible with Spring Social Twitter.

Am I the only one with this issue?

Thanks,

Fabian

Technical details

I use the release: 1.1.2.RELEASE

I instantiate the bean via XML (Spring):

<bean id="twitter" class="org.springframework.social.twitter.api.impl.TwitterTemplate">
	<constructor-arg name="consumerKey" value="xxx" />
	<constructor-arg name="consumerSecret" value="xxx" />
	<constructor-arg name="accessToken" value="xxx" />
	<constructor-arg name="accessTokenSecret" value="xxx" />
</bean>

then I use:

twitter.timelineOperations().updateStatus("Hello")

No one is having the same issue?

I'm having the same issue. But for me, it's a new implementation and have never worked before.

Good to know that I'm not the only one. I have decided to use twitter4j with the same credentials and it's working as expected. So there is definitely an issue with Spring Social Twitter. I am keeping it in parallel for the sign in feature though (this one is still working). Hopefully the issue is going to be fixed so I don't need an extra library.
