error 409: Conflict: terminated by other long poll or webhook

[chiu0602]

I start the bot by 2 workers, error is shown

const tg = new Telegram.Telegram(BOT_TOKEN, {
    workers: 2,
    webAdmin: {
        port: 7777,
        host: "0.0.0.0"
    }
});

[log] Telegram Master started, 4 CPUs found, 2 workers will start

[log] WebAdmin started at 0.0.0.0:7777

[log] Telegram Worker started at 6596 PID

[log] Telegram Worker started at 8328 PID

[warn] Api error: Body: { ok: false, error_code: 409, description: 'Conflict: terminated by other long poll or webhook' }

[error] fetchUpdate TelegramApiError { _code: 409, _description: 'Conflict: terminated by other long poll or webhook' }

But if worker: 2 is set, the bot can be started.

Hey, there is no 'worker' parameter. Check that you are not runing two bots same time. There are no relations between numbers of workers and webhooks/long pools started. Webhook/long pool alsways starts only on master process.

Also you missed 'url' parameter for webhook

[chiu0602]

I use the following code with error, but if I change to workers: 1, the code runs properly. Also, I use workers as README.md mentioned, and haven't used custom webhook.

const tg = new Telegram.Telegram(BOT_TOKEN, {
    workers: 2,
    webAdmin: {
        port: 7777,
        host: "0.0.0.0"
    }
});

btw, thanks for your great code!

I'm facing similar situation. My bot initialize with 4 workers by default, and get the same "conflict".

>npm start
> node --use_strict start.js

Starting 4 workers...
Application worker 2980 started...
Application worker 8808 started...
Application worker 4840 started...
Application worker 4492 started...

Api error: Body: { ok: false,
  error_code: 409,
  description: 'Conflict: terminated by other long poll or webhook' }

And I only have one bot.

I am facing the same problem. but since I am running manually in dev machine, when this error happens (randomly) I just instantly terminate and re-run the code, and it works. since you can not reproduce the issue to debug it yourself, the following suggestions comes to mind: it's either: there is really something left from the last time (at the bot-server or even from the telegram-server) . In this case you have to find what is not closing correctly, or wait for it to finish, before starting a new one -- or -- telegram-node-bot thinks false-positively. In this case you may want to check the code of the conflict checking logic.

Thanks a lot for your wonderful work. Cheers

Switch the port to 8443

@kamikazechaser I think the port setting only applies to the webhook model, I didn't configure it to use webhook, and I'm getting the error for the long-polling get updates method....

This is really happening. The main problem with this is that the bot doesn't even start/handle this error. It should at least retry after a while.
