Send file with file_id #24

sidelux commented 8 years ago

How can i send an image by set file_id? I tried:

bot.send(new File().file('FILEIDXXXXX','image').to(chat));

But the response is:

Error: value required in setHeader("Content-Length", value). at ClientRequest.OutgoingMessage.setHeader (_http_outgoing.js:344:11) at FormData. (/home/fenix/chatBot/node_modules/form-data/lib/form_data.js:321:13) at /home/fenix/chatBot/node_modules/form-data/lib/form_data.js:265:7 at /home/fenix/chatBot/node_modules/async/lib/async.js:251:17 at done (/home/fenix/chatBot/node_modules/async/lib/async.js:126:15) at /home/fenix/chatBot/node_modules/async/lib/async.js:32:16 at /home/fenix/chatBot/node_modules/async/lib/async.js:248:21 at /home/fenix/chatBot/node_modules/async/lib/async.js:572:34 at /home/fenix/chatBot/node_modules/form-data/lib/form_data.js:105:13 at FSReqWrap.oncomplete (fs.js:82:15)

So i think that is not correct and i can't find an example, what can i do? Thanks!

It appears that File.file() method's first param must be a relative or absolute path to a file that sits on the same machine that runs your telegram bot. This method does not support sending files using already uploaded files that are assigned unique file ID string provided by Telegram API.

PR would be great

for now, you can use the api methods directly:

bot.api.sendPhoto({ photo: 'FILEXXXXX', chat_id: xxxx })
