"Random" error on sendMessage

[NBMSacha]

Hi, Sometimes, I'm trying to send a message with an account with this API using sendMessage, and it "randomly" fails sometimes with this error : update.message._finishInit is not a function Note that this fail will make the script crash if not catched. By the way, it's not really random, it seems that it's bound to spam activities - but the main problem is that the lib isn't handling properly the error.

While I'm here, some little improvements for this lib that is already great :

• Ability to close a session
• More consistency for the error messages, for example when trying to join a group where I'm banned, I'll get 'CHANNEL_PRIVATE' which is poorly documented in the official doc.

are you using client.sendMessage or new SendMessage? also can you show full traceback.

[NBMSacha]

I'm using client.sendMessage- the fact that I'm catching this error and that it happens randomly makes hard to get a full traceback, I'll try to provide one but not 100% sure I'll succeed.

Hey, little update : I'm still trying to get the full traceback, should get it today / tomorrow.

While I'm here, little error that I detected :

[2022-01-17T15:44:01.881Z] [ERROR] - [TypeError: this._sendArray is not a function]

This happens when a lot of sessions are open on the same script, maybe a memory leak. Not sure it's something that can be improved in the lib, but the error could be clearer. Could you also share me a BSC address to send a tip to the creators of this lib?

Hi,

Got another use case

TypeError: message._finishInit is not a function
    at _DialogsIter._loadNextChunk (/app/node_modules/.pnpm/[email protected]/node_modules/telegram/client/dialogs.js:89:25)
    at process.processTicksAndRejections (node:internal/process/task_queues:95:5)
    at async Object.next (/app/node_modules/.pnpm/[email protected]/node_modules/telegram/requestIter.js:56:39)
    at async _DialogsIter.collect (/app/node_modules/.pnpm/[email protected]/node_modules/telegram/requestIter.js:88:57)
    at async Object.getDialogs (/app/node_modules/.pnpm/[email protected]/node_modules/telegram/client/dialogs.js:165:13)

Context: i previously got a RPC timeout when downloading a file. Now, each time i'm getting dialogs using getDialogs, i got this error. BUT, with a try/catch my code continue (i got all dialogs as expected dispite this error).

Messages not having _finishInit are kind of this :

{
  CONSTRUCTOR_ID: xxxxxxx,
  SUBCLASS_OF_ID: xxxxxxx,
  className: 'MessageEmpty',
  classType: 'constructor',
  flags: 1,
  id: 1,
  peerId: {
    CONSTRUCTOR_ID: xxxxxx,
    SUBCLASS_OF_ID: xxxxxx,
    className: 'PeerChannel',
    classType: 'constructor',
    channelId: Integer { value: xxxxxxxn }
  }
}
