[bug] "sql: no rows in result set" when attempting to accept an incoming follow request

[jessienab]

Describe the bug with a clear and concise description of what the bug is.

I received a follow request from another GTS user. When I attempt to accept the follow request, nothing happens in my client (Tusky), and I see this error in my container logs:

timestamp="04/05/2024 14:34:09.360" func=server.glob..func1.Logger.func13.1 level=INFO latency="2.722375ms" userAgent="Tusky/24.1 Android/13 OkHttp/4.11.0" method=POST statusCode=404 path=/api/v1/follow_requests/01HWN7GPKKWC2N4XN7DHRGS17N/authorize clientIP=0.0.0.0 errors="Error #01: sql: no rows in result set\n" requestID=9p7e4h4f04001537qwp0 msg="Not Found: wrote 45B

I'm not sure why this is happening, as I was able to accept a request from a user on tech.lgbt for example...

---

Possibly related, when I go to access this GTS users' profile, it takes a considerable amount of time to load the profile. However it does eventually load. As well, I can make and receive posts in general without issue, and I can make and receive posts from this specific user in general.

(The user is a friend of mine and they're the one I'm having issues accepting the follow from, but I don't want them to be bothered, thus why I edited their server URL. They're running the same GTS version as me)

What's your GoToSocial Version?

0.15.0+git-15733cd

GoToSocial Arch

amd64, Docker (podman rootless)

What happened?

When attempting to accept the follow request, it remains in my notifications and an error is shown in container logs (see above).

What you expected to happen?

The request should be accepted, and the follow request notification should disappear.

How to reproduce it?

Unsure... I didn't change anything or update the container image, configs, etc recently...

Anything else we need to know?

I didn't explicitly put "from another GTS user" in the title because I don't know if this is an issue ONLY with GTS <> GTS follow requests or not...

Also unsure if it's related to #2211 at all... ?

Thank you!

Off the top of my head it sounds like there might be some network issue with your friend's instance, especially the error messages you sent suggest that it's taking a very long time to respond to requests, to the extent that your instance is hanging up after trying to send requests to it and timing out. That should not cause the sql no rows error however, though it might be triggering some race condition somewhere...

Hiya, is this still an ongoing issue? Or did it sort itself out?

Hi sorry!! Oh my goodness I forgot about this 😭 . Sadly I have not been able to respond to the follow request, and I also feel a bit awkward to ask my friend to try and troubleshoot it... since my GTS server is really just for me to post silly emojis and act more as an emergency backup, I feel this issue could be closed.

It is most likely something with the config of either mine, or my friends server; for mine specifically I've noticed that my server always warns me it can't download media from this friend of mine's server that's causing issues... perhaps there's something else here?

I'll close it for now but feel free to reopen if you feel it necessary, thanks!

Ah no need to apologize! Just wanted to check if any further steps were necessary :)
