@type getChats returns @type updateFile

[ztdan4ik]

Hi there! Thanks for your extension.

I have a problem with query method. I trying to call getChats tdlib method and in result I see the object of updateFile @type. What is wrong?

Authorization state is Ready

See the code below

// Setting parameters and Database Encryption Key above
$offset = 9223372036854775807;
$result = $client->query(json_encode(['@type' => 'getChats', 'offset_order' => $offset, 'limit' => 10]), 10);

echo "<pre>"; print_r(json_decode($result)); die();
$client->destroy();
die();

Result is

By the way after calling any methods returning an "EXCEPTION" text. You can see in on my screenshot above. Feel like it from here https://github.com/yaroslavche/phptdlib/blob/master/include/TDLib/JsonClient.cpp#L37

Thanks for your time!

I think, this happens because this function https://github.com/yaroslavche/phptdlib/blob/53f663c5a2b7fd77a55f53c692aca3c66303508d/include/TDLib/JsonClient.cpp#L17 works not the same as expected.

When you execute $client->query() method, you expect receive response to your request. But now after BaseJsonClient::send(query); receive first message. It's means that message in result can exists in queue before send called. So, I think the best way is check if recieve() return response before send(), imho. This must be a function which handle all messages while BaseJsonClient::receive(0) returns data. When receive(0) is empty - then you can send your query and wait response.

I must rewrite handler for responses. As you can see right now it have dirty skip checking after receiving some type of data. It's like PoC. I will try to do my best when I have time

Hello. Please try compile with this PR: #13 Note that depends on one additional lib: nlohmann/json The same response @type in your case for now?

Hi there! Thanks for you replies.

You are right. TDLib must work async. Only few commands can be executed sync.

td_json_client_receive method - one call = one response. F.e. command setTdlibParameters will trigger more then 10 responses... It's mean td_json_client_receive must be called many time to receive last response.

Finally we can understand that we need some endless loop with td_json_client_receive inside and response handler there.

I think handler must be on php side, coz any developer need their own handler to solve personal tasks.

What I'm proposing here is to make only td_json_client_* with void Client class on php-cpp. Rest of implementation make with php.

I have start to make php side - https://github.com/ztdan4ik/php-tdlib

What do you think about this? Can we cooperate our work?

It's already done with tdlib functions td_json_client_*, so you can try write your own wrapper. Feel free to ask if need some changes =) Anyway I planning in future rewrite JsonClient and it will be almost similar that you plan write =)

F.e. command setTdlibParameters will trigger more then 10 responses

And in my implementation for this moment responses to setTdlibParameters can be received in another query. Because if received empty response - loop breaks. Maybe it should wait some response @type or some timeout before exit receiving responses loop. At this moment I have pretty shitty query implementation =)

I think this is good thing at all. But I can't promise participating on your project due the time. Detailed answered with skype.
