Issue with actual develop branch and downloading images from Telegram

[sohamakl]

I have problems with the current branch develop. When I start TeleFrame via SSH with tf.sh and then send a picture I get the following error:

Does anyone have any idea what going wrong?

I can't reproduce the problem using your steps.

Is the image displayed in TeleFrame?

The error occurs during download in a node module. substr is not used in bot.js.

You can change line 150 in bot.js to additionally log a stack trace:

@@ -145,11 +145,11 @@ var Bot = class {
                 chatName,
                 ctx.message.message_id
               );
             })
             .catch((err) => {
-              this.logger.error(err);
+              this.logger.error(err.stack);
             });
           }
         })
         .catch((err) => {
           this.logger.error('Download: ' + err.toString());

No, the image is not displayed in TeleFrame. Adding .stack in line 150 does not change the error message. The images directory is empty.

By the way, any idea hot to scale images in github's wiki?

I have found the solution. I just forgot to switch off the privacy mode for the bot in Telegram /setprivacy disable. Since I use a Telegram group.

Maybe you can give an additional hint to this option in the error message.

It would be nice to find out where the error occurs.

Could you please change line 155 as follows and reproduce the error

         });

     this.bot.catch((err) => {

With the change I get the following message:

But now I'm sure to know the reason. After I configured the bot in Telegram, I assigned it directly to a group. I then sent the first photo out of the group.

This does not work until you have sent a picture directly to the bot. Afterwards it goes then also over the group.

An alternative could be to start the bot from within the group by command /start.
