how to use startPolling with offset option

[akabab]

Bug Report

I have read:

• Usage information
• Help information

I am using the latest version of the library.

Expected Behavior

const bot = new TelegramBot(Env.TELEGRAM_BOT_TOKEN, { polling: false })

// Ignore all previous updates
const updates = await bot.getUpdates()
const pollingOffset = updates.pop()?.update_id + 1 || 0
const pollingOptions = { params: { offset: pollingOffset } }
bot.startPolling(pollingOptions)  

Expecting bot to ignore stacked updates and to start polling from new ones

Actual Behavior

Bot keeps receiving previous updates on starting, thoses sent when the script was not running

Question

Since I get the last update_id when script starts const bot = new TelegramBot(Env.TELEGRAM_BOT_TOKEN, { polling: { params: { offset: pollingOffset } } }) can't be used. Is it possible to startPolling manually with an offset param ? Thanks you

It seems options.polling.params does not work as described in the documentation. You can use this method to customize offset parameter when sending a getUpdates request.

let originalGetUpdates = bot.getUpdates;
bot.getUpdates = function (form){
    form.offset = pollingOffset;
    return originalGetUpdates.call(bot, form);
}
