polling error when running a demo code

[ritsuyan]

I just simply run a demo code on a US VPS.

const bot = new TelegramBot(token, {polling: true});

bot.on('message', function(msg) {
    if (msg.new_chat_members != undefined) {
        bot.sendMessage(msg.chat.id, msg.new_chat_member.username + " Bienvenido");
    }
});

when I send the message to bot it consoles log polling error not give a reason .

First try with only a console.log.

const bot = new TelegramBot(token, {polling: true});

bot.on('message', function(msg) {
    console.log(msg);
});

If it works try to check syntax.

Try to add this on 1st line: process.env["NTBA_FIX_319"] = 1;

So when I add the bot to the group I make it an admin and then type that into the chat?

There is also that function:

bot.on('new_chat_members', (msg) => {
  console.log("My msg object",msg)
  bot.sendMessage(msg.chat.id, "hi" )

})

I'm so confused because I don't know code you are on telegram right? If I add you to my group can you install group Butler beta into my group?

Am I the only one confused in this topic? Are we talking about working on backend nodejs telegram bot, or just adding bot to the group without coding?

[icepolarizer]

I'm looking for the solution cause my node script is just giving me a polling error every time, and looks like many people are having same problem. But seems like nobody has a solution.

[sergeyrudenko]

check syntax in your app

[droidmanspace]

If you are making two instance of TelegramBot with same token, it will definitely ends in polling error. So check your process and kill all node processes. After that try to run the bot. It will work.
