prevent restart loop

[sanderkob]

I have implemented a restart command in my bot. When I issue the command /restart, in my code this is interpreted and an ESP.restart()command is issued.
Apparently the message queue is not cleared because after restart the first message received is /restart and again an ESP.restart() command is issued.
This results in an endless loop. I can break the restart loop by sending the command https://api.telegram.org/bot_token/getUpdates in a web browser, noting the update_id, incrementing it by1, then send the command
https://api.telegram.org/bot_token/getUpdates?offset=<update_id+1>
How can I programmatically update the message queue before issuing the ESP.restart() command?
I tried

getNewMessage(msg);
ESP.restart();

but that does not work.

Hi @sanderkob This is the same issue as https://github.com/cotestatnt/AsyncTelegram2/issues/102

Correct, my oversight.
