Could not find input entity due to get_perms_cached

[Shrimp6387]

• [x] This bug is related to Hikka userbot itself. It is not related to modules.

  Describe the bug In async def get_perms_cached the user is fetched again even when i send a user entity, this can lead into the telethon error Could not find the input entity for PeerUser(user_id=1234) (PeerUser). Please read https://docs.telethon.dev/en/stable/concepts/entities.html to find out more details.

https://github.com/hikariatama/Hikka/blob/ce1f24f03313f8500de671815dde065fc8d86897/hikka/tl_cache.py#L225

Expected behavior Check if the User is actually an Entity or an Int.

Screenshots If applicable, add screenshots to help explain your problem.

• Hikka version: 1.6.3

Additional context Something like that would fix it.

user = (
    await self._client.get_entity(user)
    if user and isinstance(user, int)
    else user
)

If the user is unknown to telethon, you won't be able to change he's permissions whatsoever. If you want to avoid this error, you should fetch entity with await message.get_sender() beforehand

i do.

my code currently looks like this below, as u can see, i'm sending an User Entity already but it will refetch it from the entity again. you should not refetch the user entity if i already send an entity.

user = await message.get_sender()

if isinstance(user, User)
and (perms := await self.apo_lib.utils.is_member(chat, user))
and perms.is_admin:

This is my is_memberwhich calls your get_perms_cached

async def is_member(
    self,
    chat: EntityLike,
    user: Optional[EntityLike] = None,
    exp: Optional[int] = 5,
    force: Optional[bool] = False,
) -> bool:
    """
    Checks if a user is a member of a chat
    :param entity: Chat ID or Chat Entity
    :param user: User ID or User Entity
    :param exp: The max time of cached results in seconds
    :param force: Whether to force a refresh of the cache
    :return: perms if user is a member of the chat, None otherwise
    """
    try:
        return await self._client.get_perms_cached(
            chat,
            user,
            exp=exp,
            force=force,
        )
    except UserNotParticipantError:
        return None

If you acquired this entity legitimately, refetch will not harm you. It will just take the value from cache. If the entity was constructed manually \ tampered with, it will be re-fetched from Telegram servers.
