Slack avatars not bridged reliably

[CyberShadow]

After setting up the bridge, I've noticed that only some of the bridged Slack users have avatars.

Not sure what the pattern is.

I did some digging:

db=# select avatar, avatar_url, avatar_set from puppet where avatar_url = '' or avatar = '';
 avatar | avatar_url | avatar_set 
--------+------------+------------
        |            | t
        |            | t
        |            | t
        |            | t
        |            | t
        |            | t
        |            | t
        |            | f
        |            | t
        |            | t
        |            | t
        |            | t
        |            | t
        |            | t
        |            | t
        |            | t
        |            | t
        |            | f
        |            | t
        |            | f
        |            | t
(21 rows)

It seems that for some reason, there are entries for other users (puppets) that have avatar_set = TRUE while not having any links there. One occurrence of FALSE is where I set it manually. The other two occurrences are some weird puppets that don't even have name set.

I went with:

update puppet set avatar_set = FALSE where avatar = '' and avatar_url = '';

And then I changed the config for user display. A friend wrote to me, their name's changed and now I have

db=# select avatar, avatar_url, avatar_set from puppet where avatar_url = '' or avatar = '';
 avatar | avatar_url | avatar_set 
--------+------------+------------
        |            | f
        |            | f
        |            | f
        |            | f
        |            | f
        |            | f
        |            | f
        |            | f
        |            | f
        |            | f
        |            | f
        |            | f
        |            | f
        |            | f
        |            | f
        |            | f
        |            | f
        |            | f
        |            | f
        |            | f
        |            | t <--
(21 rows)

So there's been an update to the row, but not to the avatar details.

This was closed as not planned, but the bridge running in v0.1.0 seems to bridge avatars reliably. At least on initial sync after upgrade.
