Brave-browser: tipping a retweet

Created on 23 May 2019  路  5Comments  路  Source: brave/brave-browser

Description

When you go to tip someone who has retweeted someone else's tweet, what is the expected result?

There is a line in the spec reads:
"When the tweet doesn鈥檛 contain any extractable text, but only another tweet, an image, or video" (followed by a screenshot of the expected tipping banner)
I took the "only another tweet" to mean, a user is retweeting someone else's tweet. So after reading the case above - I expected the tip to go to the person who retweeted, not the original tweet author.

What is happening is if I go to tip a retweeted item, the tip is going to the original author of the tweet, not the person who retweeted.

If this is expected, please close and update spec for clarity.

Steps to Reproduce

  1. Install twitter tipping build.
  2. Enable Rewards and navigate to a twitter page.
  3. Click on Tip button inline for a retweeted item from a user.

Actual result:

retweet

Expected result:

Spec seems to indicate tip should go to the person who retweeted, not the original author.

Reproduces how often:

easily

Based on some discussions in slack it seems as though we want to stick with current behavior which makes sense, so updating the spec is probably the thing to do.

@mandar-brave @davidtemkin From what I recall, we decided to update the spec to reflect this...

closing as current behavior is what we want

@mandar-brave @alexwykoff @jenn-rhim please make sure the spec clearly reflects desired behavior.
