Cannot use peer retrieved from ContactsResolveUsername, as an argument to MessagesGetHistory

[Lebed-kun]

Though Go's linter didn't give me a hint that I was using mismatched type;

What version of gotd are you using?

0.71.0

Can this issue be reproduced with the latest version?

Yes

What did you do?

I tried to compile this code:

api := self.client.API()
	username := fmt.Sprintf("@%v", group)
	peer, err := api.ContactsResolveUsername(
		ctx,
		username,
	)
	if err != nil {
		return err
	}

	history, err := api.MessagesGetHistory(
		ctx,
		&tgappapiextra.MessagesGetHistoryRequest{
			Peer:  peer,
			Limit: 20,
		},
	)
	if err != nil {
		return err
	}

	messages := history.String()
	fmt.Printf(
		"retrieved msgs => %v\n",
		messages,
	)

What did you expect to see?

I expect successful compilation;

What did you see instead?

An error of type mismatch:

services/my-secret-thing/index.go:60:11: cannot use peer (variable of type *tg.ContactsResolvedPeer) as type tg.InputPeerClass in struct literal:
        *tg.ContactsResolvedPeer does not implement tg.InputPeerClass (missing construct method)

What Go version and environment are you using?

Go version: go1.18.8 linux/amd64

Same problem.

This is not a bug in the library, the approach is wrong. You need to use the data retrieved from tg.ContactsResolvedPeer and fill it in tg.InputPeerClass to make it work.
