Cannot load federated groups you're not a member of in Riot #7204

Closed

Description

@turt2live

Synapse returns a 500 on /invited_members, which looks like this on the group's server:

homeserver_1 - 2018-08-15 19:48:09,204 - synapse.access.https.8558 - 93 - INFO - 5.9.150.85 - 8558 - Received request: GET /_matrix/federation/v1/groups/%2Btelegram%3At2bot.io/invited_users?requester_user_id=%40travis%3At2l.io

/0.33.2rc1" [0 dbevts]

Riot briefly shows the group page, then follows up with "Failed to load group" due to the 500. Riot probably shouldn't fail that badly if the invite list fails to load, and synapse might want to consider exposing the list.

    More and more people are being bitten by this and it prevents the use of groups. @lampholder is it possible to bump up the priority higher than 1? :p

    Gah :(

    Thanks for agitating for progress, but right at this moment I don't think we can spare the bandwidth to look into it properly :( As we work on the redesign, onboarding onto groups/communities is I think going to be a very important flow, so we'll have to address it then (but that is still some time away).

    Should be magically fixed with a synapse update (as per matrix-org/synapse#3969 )
