[BUG] AttributeError: 'bool' object has no attribute 'de_json'

[PXNX]

Using 13.1 within an hour I get following error after which the bot does not respond anymore.

Seems like replacing line 185 in chat.py with

try:
    data['pinned_messages']= Message.de_json(data.get('pinned_message'), bot)
except:
    data['pinned_messages'] = None

fixes it.

Hi. This is a very strange error, because Message is definetly a class and not a bool. Did you do something like telegram.Masseg = True somewhere in your code? Can you provide a minimal reproducable example?

[PXNX]

Here we go:

import os
import telegram
from telegram import Update
from telegram.ext import Updater, CommandHandler, CallbackContext

TOKEN = "TOKEN"

def test(update: Update, context: CallbackContext):
    delay_group(update, context, "Fancy text")

def delay_group(update: Update, context: CallbackContext, text: str):
    if update.message.reply_to_message:
        update.message.reply_to_message.reply_text(
            text=text,
            parse_mode=telegram.ParseMode.HTML)
    else:
        reply_message = context.bot.send_message(
            chat_id=update.message.chat_id,
            text=text,
            parse_mode=telegram.ParseMode.HTML)
        context.job_queue.run_once(delete, 30, context=reply_message.chat_id, name=str(reply_message.message_id))

    update.message.delete()

def delete(context: CallbackContext):
    telegram.Message = context.bot.delete_message(chat_id=str(context.job.context), message_id=context.job.name)

if __name__ == '__main__':
    updater = Updater(TOKEN, use_context=True)
    dp = updater.dispatcher
    dp.add_handler(CommandHandler("test", test))

    PORT = int(os.environ.get('PORT', 5000))

    updater.start_webhook(listen="0.0.0.0", port=PORT, url_path=TOKEN)
    updater.bot.setWebhook('https://app-name.herokuapp.com/' + TOKEN)

    updater.start_polling()
    updater.idle()

Changing

def delete(context: CallbackContext):
    telegram.Message = context.bot.delete_message(chat_id=str(context.job.context), message_id=context.job.name)

to

def delete(context: CallbackContext):
    context.bot.delete_message(chat_id=str(context.job.context), message_id=context.job.name)

resolved this issue.

My bad. That was quite stupid.
