Can't create a poll

[beloniki]

Hi.

My attempts to create a poll are failing.

RC version 3.18.0, Docker platform.

that's odd.. I'll probably take a look on how to provide better error messages to make it easier to debug.

can you pls provide additional info?

• what kind of room were you trying to create a poll? private/public channel, DM, etc..
• what are your user roles? are you admin?
• looks like it opened the modal, you filled all the values and hit "create", is that right? can you share the values you filled in?

thanks in advance

Of course! I tried to create within direct, public channel of private group, public channel, conversation of private channel of private group. Yes, My role is admin. Yes, it was modal. I tried both: empty "/poll" command, and with a subject. Yes, I filled all all the fields, pressed the Create button, and nothing was happened.

It works well before upgrade RC to 3.18.0

Hi

Version 3.18.1 comes with useful logging. I watched this:

server.js:204 System ➔ error Error sending message: Error: Not enough permission
    at validateMessage (app/lib/server/functions/sendMessage.js:151:10)
    at sendMessage (app/lib/server/functions/sendMessage.js:165:2)
    at executeSendMessage (app/lib/server/methods/sendMessage.js:79:10)
    at app/apps/server/bridges/messages.ts:25:23
    at /app/bundle/programs/server/npm/node_modules/meteor/promise/node_modules/meteor-promise/fiber_pool.js:43:40

So what permissions should I give to the poll user?

[beloniki]

Looks like I found it. The user needs to have an message-impersonate rights.

[sampaiodiego]

great.. thanks for letting us know @beloniki .. so the "app" role didn't have that permission? did you remove it by yourself? it should be there by default

[beloniki]

Yes, the permission were by default. I removed it by myself to use "app" role for custom integrations.

got it, thx.. I'll talk to RC team and see how we can improve reporting that error to the end user instead of silently fail
