brid.gy plugin connection to twitter doesn't work

[ejheil]

While trying to do this:

Activate the brid.gy plugin (v1.0.1)

Going to Account Settings -> Interactions -> click the "Activate Twitter & Bridgy" button

I encountered this error:

takes me to https://brid.gy/twitter/start with the message "Sorry, that user was not found. Want to see all users? Or sign up?"

This happens whether or not I am currently logged into brid.gy with my twitter account.

Note that my twitter account and my known site already are inter-connected by links.

Some other notes:

Give us some context:

• It'd also be really handy if you could tell us the contents of your version.known file

latest stable:

version = '1.2.2'
build = 2020061101
revision = "bd43456"

• What database are you using? (e.g. mongo, mysql, postgres)

mysql

• Any warnings or errors in your admin/diagnostics page?

Only warnings that I am behind the latest version from Github, and a link to this github site. Should I be using a fresh checkout from this repository? What branch? dev? Should I not be using stable? It's 2 years old and presumably the same as what I'm running now. If that's the issue then maybe the real "bug" is that there's no recent stable release?

• If this is a programming bug, can you include examples of any Micropub / API calls / webhook pings you make? Otherwise please don't worry about what this means!
• Bonus points - are you able to illustrate the issue with a unit test? If so, submit it as a pull request!

Moved to a github checkout instead of a downloaded version. Same issue. New version.known:

version = '1.3.1'
build = 2020120201

Could be an easy fix! Sounds like Known is sending the user to https://brid.gy/twitter/start with an HTTP GET, but it needs to be a POST. More details in https://brid.gy/about#registration-api

This worked for a while, so it may just be a minor recent regression.
