Labels being recorded but not on bsky

[cmho]

Hi--I have a slightly odd question which may not be an issue per se. (Or at least, the issue may be problem-between-chair-and-keyboard.)

I've gotten a labeler set up, the labeling requests are definitely hitting my server and the server is responding (using most recent version of Caddy), the labels are being written to my sqlite database, and the promise with the bsky server is resolving such that it gives a label data object and says the labels are applied... but for some reason the labels don't show up on accounts liking the posts. I'm a little stymied; it's not throwing any errors whatsoever when I look at the logs.

My code repo is here: https://tildegit.org/smallbird/hiresky (in large part forked from pronouns.adorable.mom) if that helps.

Pretty common issue with labelers unfortunately, and one that's hard to debug.

First you'll want to make sure that your labeler is reachable via both HTTPS and WS. Try hitting https://labeler.domain/xrpc/com.atproto.label.queryLabels?uriPatterns=* from your browser, and websocat wss://labeler.domain/xrpc/com.atproto.label.subscribeLabels?cursor=0 (output for the latter will be garbled, but any output means it's working).

Assuming that's all working fine, you can try updating the labeler declaration (run npx @skyware/labeler recreate) to try and get the AppView to pick up your labeler.

If you've confirmed that your labeler is reachable and labels still aren't showing up 5-10 minutes after the second step, it'd be best if you could join the Bluesky API Touchers Discord server if you're not already in it and drop a message there to debug.

oh, thanks for the quick reply! I can give that a shot once i'm off of work, and also glad to see that there's a discord because i have so many questions about stupid things i want to do with the bsky api

[cmho]

Update: Okay, it seems that while it is definitely running on both https and wss and I updated the label declarations (and those propagated to bsky.app), the labels still aren't appearing. I joined the bsky api touchers discord, though, so hopefully that'll turn up more ideas! Will update if I find a solution.

[coolroman]

@cmho Were you able to find a solution? I have the same problem.

[coolroman]

This solved the problem with labeler for me:

npx @skyware/labeler clear
npx @skyware/labeler setup

[futurGH]

npx @skyware/labeler label edit without any changes will have the same effect without needing to redefine label values!

[coolroman]

npx @skyware/labeler label edit without any changes will have the same effect without needing to redefine label values!

In my case it didn't work (I tried edit/add/delete label). So one can try edit label first and if it doesn't help do "clear".

[futurGH]

Interesting, I'll have to look into that

[cmho]

Unfortunately, doing the clear/setup rotation doesn't seem to work for me 😔

[dantodev]

I faced the same issue but noticed that my reverse proxy (nginx) did not forward ws and wss requests to the labeler server. Fixing this made my labels appear.

I am also running into the same issue and still haven't been able to solve it.

[ImLunaHey]

Did you try running the recreate command?

[ImLunaHey]

might be worth suggesting people uses npx @skyware/labeler@latest as that command must have been added recently and wasnt showing for me. 😅

tried that just then, no luck so far. (not sure if i have to wait)

[ImLunaHey]

ive even tried something simple and i still cant see the label even though it shows in getPostThread.

labelerServer.createLabel({
  uri: 'at://imlunahey.com/app.bsky.feed.post/3lgyti2673c2u',
  neg: false,
  val: 'no-alt-text',
});
