-m doesn't work anymore

[snan]

I use -rm all the time and have a couple of scripts that depend on it also; now I get a deprecation message but -rt mention doesn't work either. Neither -rm nor -rt mention seem to filter out likes.

What command is that?

toot notifications -rm

For now I reverted 20eec3b and that fixes things. So that's for sure where the problem is. (I have a local-hacks branch and I just git reverted that particular commit, keeping both 20eec3b and my revert in my tree for now. I love how git could automatically do this, no coding, it just created the commit for me. So great.💆🏻‍♀️)

I cannot reproduce this so I'm guessing this is due to the server you're connecting to not supporting the types query parameter for the notifications endpoint. This parameter was added in Mastodon 3.5.0 from March 2022, but possible not all implementations have picked it up.

The way --mentions used to work was to use the exclude_types parameter (which was available since the beginning of mastodon) and exclude everything but the mentions, but this was not ideal because new types were being added so they would leak through if the exclude list was not updated. So I changed it to use the types=mention parameter instead of excluding in commit 20eec3b.

To get the exact same behaviour as before you can exclude the types you don't want, e.g.

toot notifications -e follow -e favourite -e reblog -e poll -e follow_request

Which is not nice, but if it's used in scripts maybe it's fine?

I did some digging, and you're running Akkoma which does not support the types query parameter, but does support their custom variant include_types. They added this since it was not available in Mastodon, and then never added support for types once it was added.

I started to report an issue, but I'm unsure if this should be reported to Akkoma or Pleroma on which it's based.

Since you already have a hacks branch, you could modify this line.

From:

    params = {"types[]": types, "exclude_types[]": exclude_types, "limit": limit}

To:

    params = {"include_types[]": types, "exclude_types[]": exclude_types, "limit": limit}

And that should temporarily solve your issues.

Okay, I've applied and deployed that temporary fix now. Thank you so much! 🙏🏻 Please report the issue directly to Akkoma instead of (or in addition to) to P█████. The fork was so long ago. Also consider removing the deprecation message and keeping -m as an alias for -t mention. 🙋🏻‍♀️ Also sometimes a line of dashes show up even there's no notifications. And also I'm still using an local copy of setup.py to build 😅 But that's because I'm still waiting on fpm to resolve their issue.
