Could not parse tweet: Tombstone

[rougetimelord]

If the extension gets an API response with type: TweetTombstone the object gets passed to handleTweetObject which gracefully fails here:

Blue-Blocker/src/parsers/instructions.ts

Line 73 in d301118

if (ptr.__typename !== 'User') {

The TweetTombstone object looks like this:

{
    "__typename": "TweetTombstone",
    "tombstone": {
        "__typename": "TextTombstone",
        "text": {
            "rtl": false,
            "text": "You’re unable to view this Post because this account owner limits who can view their Posts. Learn more",
            "entities": [
                {
                    "fromIndex": 92,
                    "toIndex": 102,
                    "ref": {
                        "type": "TimelineUrl",
                        "url": "https://help.twitter.com/rules-and-policies/notices-on-twitter",
                        "urlType": "ExternalUrl"
                    }
                }
            ]
        }
    }
}

Feel free to assign this issue to me, I'm working on a fix right now and just wanted an issue number to reference.

Further research notes: the tombstone object can sneak past this check by being embedded as a quoted status.

Blue-Blocker/src/parsers/instructions.ts

Lines 82 to 84 in d301118

	if (IgnoreTweetTypes.has(tweet.itemContent.itemType)) {
	return;
	}

So we have to check in handleTweetObject.

OK, done.
