Cannot import long messages (over 2000 characters)

[aplex]

Currently the import process breaks down with an exception like this:

Gateway A SlashCommandExecuted handler has thrown an unhandled exception.: System.ArgumentException: Message content is too long, length must be less or equal to 2000. (Parameter 'Content') at Discord.API.DiscordRestApiClient.CreateMessageAsync(UInt64 channelId, CreateMessageParams args, RequestOptions options) at Discord.Rest.ChannelHelper.SendMessageAsync(IMessageChannel channel, BaseDiscordClient client, String text, Boolean isTTS, Embed embed, AllowedMentions allowedMentions, MessageReference messageReference, MessageComponent components, ISticker[] stickers, RequestOptions options, Embed[] embeds, MessageFlags flags) at Slackord.Slackord.PostMessages(SocketChannel channel, UInt64 guildID) in Z:\Development\Git Repositories\Slackord2\Slackord_Win\Slackord\Slackord.cs:line 477

The message itself has 2500 text length, file attachment and a dozen of blocks that reference youtube videos

It would be good to truncate/skip/split such messages automatically.

I'm using v2.2.5.2

The message should have been split up, as this functionality is already included. Would you be willing to shoot me the JSON file for testing so I can hotfix this? You can Google Drive it, or any other preferred method you wish and feel comfortable with, then shoot me a DM on Twitter with the link.

This bug should be fixed in https://github.com/thomasloupe/Slackord2/releases/tag/v2.4! Please feel free to re-open this issue if you encounter it again.

Hi there,

I still experienced this issue with version 2.4.3.5 for Mac. I solved this issue by recompiling Slackord after adding messageToSend = response + " " + "\n"; to the foreach (var response in responses) loop in Program.cs. The resulting code snippet looks like this:

foreach (var response in responses)
{
    messageToSend = response + " " + "\n";
    if (sendAsThread)

I took the messageToSend one-liner from the Windows version, so I believe it may have simply been forgotten in the Mac_Linux version.

Best wishes, Philippe

Oops! Sorry about that. It's very likely I did forget. I'll patch this and get a hotfix in sometime this week. Thanks for the report!

Thanks again for the report!
