Making Friend Connections For Test Users

Question

Using the Roles dashboard, I can create Facebook test user accounts but when trying to make them friends with each other via ticking appropriate accounts and then the 'make friends' button seems to do absolutely nothing.

I have then tried to make these accounts friends via the api call:

https://graph.facebook.com/{test user id 1}/friends/{test user id 2}?method=post&access_token={test user 1 access token}

This results in an OAuth Exception being returned:

{"error":{"message":"Error validating application.","type":"OAuthException"}}

This feature has worked previously for me (clicking the make friends button). Has anyone got any ideas on how to resolve this problem?

Answer 1

Apparently this was a bug, you can now go in via the modify roles menu in the application and select users to 'make friends'. This functionality is still pretty buggy but it does work eventually.
