This happens when i try to call my bot using @ syntax in a group while it works fine for direct chat with bot

eg. mybot help -> works great in direct chat with the bot @mybot_username help -> sucks in group chat

ERROR TypeError: Cannot read property 'message_id' of undefined

[arcturial]

Does your bot use webhooks to receive updates or do you poll?

[ishankhare07]

I've only setup the TELEGRAM_TOKEN and not any other things

[arcturial]

What version of the bot are you running currently?

[arcturial]

Hey, the latest master version has some more debug in to debug incoming messages. Can you please give it a try and let me know what output you get? Also, are you using an inline bot?

[ishankhare07]

@arcturial will do that and let you know very soon

[arcturial]

Have you managed to replicate the issue with the latest debug additions active?

[rvrangel]

I was having the same problem with 0.1.0, but upgrading to master seems to have fixed it for me. Perhaps release a new version?

[iroes]

Maybe it has to do with a message update by the telegram user after being sent. The telegram API responds with a JSON object that the adapter doesn't know how to handle (the object update.message is undefined in this case, then message_id doesn't exist either. The object should be edited_message in this case).

{"update_id":887944688,"edited_message":{"message_id":9,"from":{"id":1111111,"first_name":"xxx","username":"xxx"},"chat":{"id":-22222,"title":"xxx","type":"group"},"date":1464543624,"edit_date":1464543643,"text":"xxxbot ping"}}

FYI, i had a similar problem. ERROR TypeError: Cannot read property 'hasOwnProperty' of undefined It turned out that msg.reply caused this and msg.send works fine.$

50 This branch should fix your issue, can I ask you to test it out?

[lukefx]
