Messages only travel one way - telegram / Gitter

[bashfulrobot]

If you have a configuration problem, please first try to create a basic configuration following the instructions on the wiki before filing an issue.

Please answer the following questions.

Which version of matterbridge are you using?

run matterbridge -version version: 1.2.0

Please describe the expected behavior.

Messages moving back and forth between gitter and telegram

Please describe the actual behavior.

Use logs from running matterbridge -debug if possible.

Messages go from telegram to gitter, but not the other way. The telegram messages show in the debug, but the gitter ones do not.

You're using a dedicated account for gitter ? If you try to type messages on gitter with the same account that's connected via matterbridge, it will not work.

[bashfulrobot]

Hmmm, I thought I had this working before. Assuming my config looks good, I'll try with a "automation" account.

[42wim]

The config looks good. You can also try it with your own account, but you have to have other users on gitter say something. Those messages should show up if you run with -debug (and hopefully also relay)

[bashfulrobot]

ohhhhhh - I see what you are saying.

I'll go test. Thanks for the info.

[bashfulrobot]

Closing off. Bridge works as expected. It is because I was testing with my own account. Moved to a service account for the bridge.
