reply and replyWithMarkdown doesn't work in prod #23

Description

@ummahusla

I have quite an unusual bot behaviour. I have a simple bot which was scaffolded with create-bot/micro-bot. It listens for a few commands and does some API calls. It was working fine, and yesterday, but since this morning it stopped responding on the prod servers (now).

yarn dev work perfectly, everything as expected. When pushed to prod; bot doesn't respond to any reply or replyWithMarkdown. Yet I can see all console.log statements, logs in the now dashboard, database being updated, but still, no bot replies.

I'm genuinely confused, did someone came across this issue?

Some code examples:

  • now.json
{
  "version": 1
}
  • package.json(i'm using secrets to store bot token, and it worked very well yesterday)
"scripts": {
  "dev": "supervisor -x micro-bot index.js",
  "start": "micro-bot",
  "lint": "eslint .",
  "now-start": "micro-bot -d ${NOW_URL}",
  "now-deploy": "now -e BOT_TOKEN=@token_bot --public"
}
  • index.js
// Register "/start" command
bot.start(ctx => {
  const currentUsername = ctx.update.message.from.username;
  const chatId = ctx.update.message.chat.id;
  const formattedChatId = chatId.toString();

  let activeUsernames;

  if (currentUsername && formattedChatId) {
    // Query to target the correct document in the chats collection
    const chatInstance = db.collection("chats").doc(formattedChatId);

    // Read document data
    chatInstance
      .get()
      .then(doc => {
        if (!doc.exists) {
          // No such document with this formattedChatId
          // so we create a new chat record in db
          // and pass a currentUsername

          services.createNewChatRecord(chatInstance, currentUsername);
        } else {
          activeUsernames = doc.data().usernames;

          if (!activeUsernames.includes(currentUsername)) {
            // currentUsername is not included in the active username list
            // so we update the current record in db
            // and pass already activeUsernames list and currentUsername.

            services.updateUsernamesRecord(
              chatInstance,
              activeUsernames,
              currentUsername
            );
          }
        }
      })
      .then(() => {
        ctx.replyWithMarkdown(messages.INIT_START_COMMAND);
      })
      .catch(err => {
        ctx.replyWithMarkdown(messages.ERROR_MESSAGE);

        console.log("Error getting data", err);
      });
  }
});
