"Unable to send entry to Telegram"

[silaxe]

Since a few weeks, my Telegram integration has stopped working. Meanwhile I started to receive the following error in my log: "Unable to send entry to Telegram".

Could you give me any direction where this error might come from?

Many thanks in advance.

It's coming from here:

v2/internal/integration/integration.go

Lines 625 to 630 in 13986e9

	slog.Error("Unable to send entry to Telegram",
	slog.Int64("user_id", userIntegrations.UserID),
	slog.Int64("entry_id", entry.ID),
	slog.String("entry_url", entry.URL),
	slog.Any("error", err),
	)

You should have the error details in the logs.

Thanks! I have set the LOG_LEVEL to debug and will check the output.

This is the log I have around the Telegram error:

I still fail to see what triggers the error. Any hint?

Thanks!

Your log messages are truncated somehow. The real error is at the end of the line: error="telegram: unable t>. It could be any error from this file: https://github.com/miniflux/v2/blob/main/internal/integration/telegrambot/client.go

You can also double check your settings: bot token and chat ID

Thanks for your help, indeed I did not see the truncated part of the error!

Somehow my BASE_URL was reverted back to the default http://localhost, hence the thrown error.
