Some Twitter::Tweet properties doesn't work

[mindhells]

favoriters, repliers and retweeters are always set to nil.

Can you explain in a little more detail the problems you are experiencing, a tweet id, for instance, would be helpful to troubleshoot. Thanks.

As far as I know this properties are filled out when you use the
undocumented status_activity to get the tweet info which response includes
them. The problem is this service is not working anymore and there's no
workaround.

Since this breaks the public API, we will need to wait to ship this change until version 5.0 is ready. Returning nil for all these methods is not ideal but it’s better than a NoMethodError.

Just to confirm if you are working in to get that data from another source
or just removing the properties.
Thank you so much

Sadly it sounds like this is a casualty of twitter API 1.1, if its not available via either documented or undocumented API's then we can't possibly support it in this library either. @sferik has removed the properties. If you happen upon another way to access them, feel free to point us to it! Cheers.

@mindhells If you want this API, you might want to politely suggest that Twitter add it to API v1.1 on the discussion forum. Good luck! 🍀

I suspect they're going to ignore that request according to the policy of making things hard to developers... anyway I'll try.
By the way and talking about properties, the identifiers with _str suffix are not mapped while they are loaded into the values hash, ie: in_replay_to_status_id_str (tweet) id_str (tweet and user)

The omission of id_str and in_replay_to_status_id_str was intentional. Those properties are only necessary in languages that don't support large integers, such as JavaScript. If you need a string representation of an integer value in Ruby, you can simply call the to_s method.
