title: Ruby Twitter, Retrieving Full Tweet Text
body: <p>I'm using the Ruby Twitter gem to retrieve the full text of a tweet.</p>
  
  <p>I first tried this, and as you can see the text was truncated.</p>
  
  <pre><code>[5] pry(main)&gt; t = client.status(782845350918971393)
  =&gt; #&lt;Twitter::Tweet id=782845350918971393&gt;
  [6] pry(main)&gt; t.text
  =&gt; "A #Gameofthrones fan? Our #earlybird Dublin starter will get you 
  touring the GOT location in 2017
  #traveldealls… (SHORTENED URL WAS HERE)"
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>Then I tried this:</p>
  
  <pre><code>[2] pry(main)&gt; t = client.status(782845350918971393, tweet_mode: 'extended')
  =&gt; #&lt;Twitter::Tweet id=782845350918971393&gt;
  [3] pry(main)&gt; t.full_text
  =&gt;
  [4] pry(main)&gt; t.text
  =&gt;
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>Both the text and full text are empty when I use the <code>tweet_mode: 'extended'</code> option. </p>
  
  <p>I also tried editing the bit of the gem that makes the request, the response was the same.
  <code>
  perform_get_with_object("/1.1/statuses/show/#{extract_id(tweet)}.json?tweet_mode=extended", options, Twitter::Tweet)
  </code></p>
  
  <p>Any help would be greatly appreciated.</p>
