Just encountered this error for the first time today:

Not sure why…

[bengott]

Weird. v0.7.0 did update to a new version of jparker:gravatar, so maybe something changed in that package. I guess I'll add another undefined/null check to make absolutely sure Gravatar doesn't run into an exception.

[bengott]

Added the check, published v0.7.1, and updated Telescope to 0.7.1. Let me know if it's still happening on your end.

[timothyarmes]

Hmm, I think this is happening because there's no hash property on the user object. I'm getting it too.

[bengott]

This should be fixed. I was never able to duplicate it locally. Can anyone confirm?

[bengott]

assuming this is fixed since no one has complained...

[timothyarmes]

I can confirm, and I've fixed in on my local copy.

The problem occurs when set up to use email hashes and the user object has no email hash.

[niranjans]

I am still getting this error. I am not publishing the user email or the hash. Is there a way to just ignore the Gravatar image check?

[iMagdy]

I'm having this too!
