Bot does not respond in group chats about telegram_bot HOT 6 CLOSED

That should be enough. What does your command do? I would guess you are calling send_message with a username, for group chats it has to be send_message msg.chat.id

I'm fairly new to Crystal, so you'll have to guide me a bit because I'm not quite clear what you mean. My code is pretty similar to the example:

def initialize(@token)
    super("...", @token)

    cmd "example" do |msg, params|
        # process here
        reply msg, some_reply_string
    end
end

Replacing reply msg, some_reply_string with send_message msg.chat.id, some_reply_string does not seem to make a difference for me.

Hm, both versions work for me. BotFather has /setjoingroups command, but I don't know how does that work though.

Odd, I have /setjoingroups set to Enabled. The code for the testing bot I'm writing is available here if you want to see what I might be doing wrong.

Ok, I had similar problem, removing and readding the bot fixed it. I have no idea what's going on but looks like the problem is on Telegrams side.

Removing and re-adding does not seem to work for me. However, renaming the command seemed to have worked on one chat but not all. This seems related: https://stackoverflow.com/questions/40560576/telegram-bot-doesnt-work-on-certain-groups

Whatever the case, as this is a Telegram issue, I'll close the issue. Thanks for the help!
