Can't sendRequest with custom chat_id

[decadence]

Let's say I want sendRequest with custom chat_id like this without hears method:

$bot->sendRequest("pinChatMessage", [
        "chat_id" => $chatId,
        "message_id" => $messageId,
]);

This is not going to work because sendRequest always replaces my chat_id with Message.

$parameters = array_replace_recursive([
    'chat_id' => $matchingMessage->getRecipient(),
], $parameters);

In case we are not in hears method it will be null so nothing works. Can you provide a way to pass custom chat_id?

Ok, I forgot how array_replace_recursive works. So my chat_id will have priority. But there is another problem: we have to load driver manually (like say method does):

$bot->setDriver(DriverManager::loadFromName(TelegramDriver::class, $config));

$bot->sendRequest("pinChatMessage", [
  "chat_id" => $chatId,
  "message_id" => 40,
]);

Can you loadDriver inside sendRequest like in say method? Because by default it's NullDriver which does nothing and it was hard to debug.

You can call loadDriver in your bootstrap file. From the docs:

DriverManager::loadDriver(\BotMan\Drivers\Telegram\TelegramDriver::class);

// Create BotMan instance
BotManFactory::create($config);

It's different thing. You have to setDriver even if you loadDriver before (say method does it for example). Without loadDriver nothing is going to work at all.

anyone found a solution to this?
