Testing #12

Open mrjasonjordan opened 4 years ago

I can't find a way to test any of the functionality.

For example, rssnotifier is running. I can chat with it through Telegram. But how do I get it to start again from scratch on a query without having to delete the entire query and re-enter it.

Can I suggest a command such as "/reset #id" that makes it so the query seems brand new - with no history.

This would make for easier testing especially when experimenting with keywords.

I'm not sure I'm getting this.

Once the new feed element is published, it gets "consumed" against the specified rules. Resetting and reverting this behaviour to test new rules means considering the whole new feed (or at least he most recent part) as new, generating (probably) a lot of noise.

It's probably my sheer lack of experience & knowledge. I apologise.

But I'm very eager to get this working as I've scoured through dozens of different Telegram RSS Bots and this is the only one I've found that has the keyword filtering I need.

But, I just don't seem to be able to get it to work!

The interface all looks good - no errors. But I just don't see the bot publishing anything - and I'm not skilled enough to diagnose it.

Can I post my db.sqlite and have you see if I'm doing it right? It could be something really basic!
