Historical rooms is always empty

[bwindels]

On riot-web, "Historical rooms" section in the left panel always says "You have no historical rooms" (often after showing a spinner for a while). @bmarty says there is also no lazy loading for this request, another filter is used in a parallel /sync. There is no lazy_load_members argument in this filter

@bwindels does this mean the historical rooms feature has been broken since lazy loading? (And nobody's noticed?)

[bwindels]

@lampholder I'm unsure whether the breakage is related to lazy loading or not. As part of finding it broken Benoit mentioned it should lazy load members as well.

As a data point: in my history of using riot, it has never worked.

I'm having this problem too.

1. I leave some rooms in Riot, and the rooms immediately appear in Historical.
2. I refresh the page
3. I click Historical
4. The spinner spins.
5. The "You have no historical rooms" message is shown.

Monitoring HTTP requests in the browser debugging tools, I can see Riot updating Filter 1 with "include_leave": true, but sync requests are passing filter=7, and sending a GET request for Filter 7 shows that it doesn't have "include_leave": true

I have been having this bug for awhile now. It stopped working about the time my IRC appservice didnt want to let me leave a room, and I had to manually edit myself out. Didnt touch the matrix DB, so don't know if related, but it wasnt long after that I noticed historical rooms were gone. Now they do exactly what thomas mentions above.

This is still a problem for left rooms
