set.php gives type error for ServerResponse::__construct()

[danielberlin]

When I set up the bot as described in README.md and call set.php, I get:

PHP Catchable fatal error:  Argument 1 passed to Longman\\TelegramBot\\Entities\\ServerResponse::__construct() must be of the type array, null given, called in /myproject/vendor/longman/telegram-bot/src/Request.php on line 152 and defined in /myproject/vendor/longman/telegram-bot/src/Entities/ServerResponse.php on line 26

I can't reproduce the problem.. it seem related to curl. In 0.17.2 Exceptions are logged this can help to understand the problem.

[danielberlin]

No exception is logged, the described error above is only visible in the web server's error_log. Should I update curl? What is the minimum required version of curl? Do I need curl for hook mode? I don't think so.

[MBoretto]

My version of curl is 7.35.0 , curl is used to make all the requests to telegram.

[danielberlin]

But curl is only used for getUpdate? Since I use hook-example.php, I think it doesn't use curl or does it?

[MBoretto]

Curl is used for get update, set Web hook and to send any messages to the chat

[danielberlin]

OK, I think I have to debug my curl which is 7.29.0. Do you have a recommendation where to start from this error on?

Catchable fatal error: Argument 1 passed to Longman\TelegramBot\Entities\ServerResponse::__construct() must be of the type array, null given, called in /myproject/vendor/longman/telegram-bot/src/Request.php on line 151 and defined in /myproject/vendor/longman/telegram-bot/src/Entities/ServerResponse.php on line 26

[MBoretto]

Try to:

• Run phpunit as descibed in the CONTRIBUTING.mb
• Change the line https://github.com/akalongman/php-telegram-bot/blob/master/src/Request.php#L141 with:

if (empty($result) | is_null($result)) {

Then we will see

[danielberlin]

phpunit gives:

==== Redirecting to composer installed version in vendor/phpunit ====

PHPUnit 4.1.6-6-g43914fa by Sebastian Bergmann.

Configuration read from /myproject/vendor/longman/telegram-bot/phpunit.xml.dist

.................

Time: 53 ms, Memory: 4.00Mb

OK (17 tests, 68 assertions)

Changing the line still results in

PHP Catchable fatal error:  Argument 1 passed to Longman\\TelegramBot\\Entities\\ServerResponse::__construct() must be of the type array, null given, called in /myproject/vendor/longman/telegram-bot/src/Request.php on line 152 and defined in /myproject/vendor/longman/telegram-bot/src/Entities/ServerResponse.php on line 26

BTW, I can monitor outgoing requests such as this to the Telegram server (149.154.167.199) – but still not receiving even a single bot answer in the chat:

Oct  6 12:42:54 host kernel: WWW OUTGOING IN= OUT=eth0 SRC=10.1.2.3 DST=149.154.167.199 LEN=60 TOS=0x00 PREC=0x00 TTL=64 ID=46695 DF PROTO=TCP SPT=50098 DPT=443 WINDOW=14600 RES=0x00 SYN URGP=0 

Help and ideas highly appreciated. Thank you.

[MBoretto]

What you find inside?

var_dump($result);

[danielberlin]

Where should I put var_dump($result); – in Request.php#L141? But then how do I get the output when Telegram is requesting my script? Should I access it from the browser? It should be written to the MySQL (or any other) log...

[MBoretto]

In hotfix branch I pushed some commits to trace curl errrors (If any) with Exception.

[danielberlin]

Thanks, downloaded hotfix branch. But where do the Exceptions go? I don't see them neither in TelegramException.log nor in error_log (still getting Argument 1 passed to Longman\\TelegramBot\\Entities\\ServerResponse::__construct() must be of the type array, null given).

phpunit in hotfix gives 1) Tests\Unit\ServerResponseTest::testGetUpdatesEmpty Failed asserting that 0 is null.

[MBoretto]

I've implement a logging system for curl request and response, just set verbosity to 3 as explained in the hotfix readme. Exception are stored in the main dir of the project if are thrown, here.s the name of the file: https://github.com/akalongman/php-telegram-bot/blob/master/src/Exception/TelegramException.php#L19

[danielberlin]

The logging system now helped to track down the problem to the following logged error (HTTP error before end of send, stop sending, see below):

{"update_id":12345,
"message":{"message_id":123,"from":{"id":12345,"first_name":"myName","username":"myUserName"},"chat":{"id":12345,"first_name":"myName","username":"myUserName","type":"private"},"date":1445813422,"text":"\/help"}}

The problem is that my API key was entered in a wrong format. Unfortunately, neither api.telegram.org nor php-telegram-bot displayed an error regarding this.
