Looking at both the code and documentation, it looks like your method of instantiating a Twitter
instance is not recommended. If you want to supply configuration programmatically (and not use properties), it looks like you need to supply a Configuration
to the TwitterFactory
.
... ConfigurationBuilder builder = new ConfigurationBuilder(); builder.setOAuthConsumerKey(CONSUMER_KEY); builder.setOAuthConsumerSecret(CONSUMER_SECRET); Configuration configuration = builder.build(); TwitterFactory factory = new TwitterFactory(configuration); Twitter twitter = factory.getInstance(); ...
The singleton provided by a factory that hasn’t been supplied with a configuration defaults to using an Authorization
implementation backed by a PropertyConfiguration
configuration. If there is no properties file, it looks like it shouldn’t instantiate an OAuthAuthorization
auth, which is what would cause the exception you’re seeing. But PropertyConfiguration
does search the entire CLASSPATH
for an appropriate properties file, so maybe you overlooked one. You could try logging the key and secret right after getting the Twitter
instance to see what they are set to:
System.out.println("key:" + twitter.getConfiguration().getOAuthConsumerKey()); System.out.println("secret: " + twitter.getConfiguration().getOAuthConsumerSecret());
