Inline mode on telegram always responding with error, even when working right #447

Closed fercom closed 8 years ago

fercom commented 8 years ago

While using my bot on inline mode it always responds with:

@Fer Galván Sorry, MemeBot is having a problem responding right now.

Even when it indeed works. What could be happening?

An example of a requisition in inline mode would be like: "spongebob meme, hello, world, please"

Thanks for your help

My bot, for testing: https://telegram.me/The_MemeBot

Are you using ngrok by chance? Looking at the Telegram logs, I see this error "Operation returned an invalid status code 'BadGateway'". This looks suspiciously like the error returned by ngrok when it can't forward a message to an app. I wonder if you have an ngrok address set as your bot endpoint, but your bot isn't running locally.

Just for testing, right now is on azure

Does it work on other channels? Is it only having issues on Telegram?

fercom commented 8 years ago

It is only having issues in the inline mode in telegram, it works fine in facebook, skype and web, even in telegram when not called in inline mode but in direct chat

I just solved it, it seems that the problem is that while the user is contructing the inline request the bot can throw a "bad request exception", just returning 'null' for that requests solves the problem
