When get_about_info(ssb_id) is given a recently-created ssb_id (ie. a fairly new profile), the correct information is returned. However, the same method returns incorrect data when given an ssb_id representing an older profile with many interactions.

The filter on get_about_message_stream(ssb_id) seems to be broken. The stream seemingly returns all messages for the given ID.

The culprit:

L77 of src/messages.rs:

The matches! macro does not match to the level of the variant of the enums being tested, only to the top-level of the type. Since mtype and message_type are SsbMessageContentType, matches! will always return true, even if the variants are different. Ie. SsbMessageContentType::About and SsbMessageContentType::Vote are considered a match.

TIL.

pub fn is_message_type(&self, message_type: SsbMessageContentType) -> bool {
    let self_message_type = self.get_message_type();
    match self_message_type {
        Ok(mtype) => {
            matches!(mtype, message_type)
        }
        Err(_err) => false,
    }
}

The culprit: L77 of `src/messages.rs`: The `matches!` macro does not match to the level of the variant of the enums being tested, only to the top-level of the type. Since `mtype` and `message_type` are `SsbMessageContentType`, `matches!` will always return true, even if the variants are different. Ie. `SsbMessageContentType::About` and `SsbMessageContentType::Vote` are considered a match. TIL. ```rust pub fn is_message_type(&self, message_type: SsbMessageContentType) -> bool { let self_message_type = self.get_message_type(); match self_message_type { Ok(mtype) => { matches!(mtype, message_type) } Err(_err) => false, } } ```

And the final fix:

We need to add the about_val check. This ensures that we only return about messages that are actually about the ssb_id (not just authored by the ssb_id). Previously we were returning all about messages involving ssb_id (even those which were about something else).

// if there are still keys we are looking for, then continue searching
match res {
    Ok(msg) => {
        // for each key we are searching for, check if this about
        // message contains a value for that key
        for key in &keys_to_search_for.clone() {
            let about_val = msg.content.get("about").and_then(|val| val.as_str());
            let option_val = msg
                .content
                .get(key)
                .and_then(|val| val.as_str())
                .map(|val| val.to_string());
            match option_val {
                // only return val if this msg is about the given ssb_id
                Some(val) if about_val == Some(ssb_id) => {
                    // if a value is found, then insert it
                    profile_info.insert(key.to_string(), val);
                    // remove this key from keys_to_search_for,
                    // since we are no longer searching for it
                    keys_to_search_for.retain(|val| val != key)
                }
                _ => continue,
            }
        }
    }
    Err(_err) => {
        // skip errors
        continue;
    }
}
