Missing working example

[cojack]

Hi,
I would like to use this plugin, but there is lack of example how this is suppose to work. I have spend few hours combine how this stuff can be configured together and Im still facing an issues that:

0. What's Telegram Bot name it's a username of bot with @ or without @? Or maybe it's display name but with suffix bot or without?
1. /sub command at telegram boot chat doesn't return anyhing
2. manual approval doesn't display any user after /sub
3. messages are not publish by bot

There is so manny missing information that I can not make any progress of how to use it.

Please @nikitabelonogov describe it a bit better.

try to install precedent version 1.2.1
Works for me.

Even after installing 1.2.1. This plugin really needs a better documentation.

Hey @cojack, how are you?

I had exactly the same problem.

I solved my problem clicking in:
"Manage Jenkins" -> "Reload Configuration form Disk"
and restarting Jenkins.

After that, Go again in telegram, click "Start" and "/sub".

This is how I sent a message e it worked:

Hope it helps. :)

for me manual approval still is not working. the approval list in Jenkins settings stays empty.

[edit]
I tried reloading the settings and restarting Jenkins multiple times. also multiple tries with /sub command.

can you maybe post an example, how the configuration xml file should look? then I could approve it inside of the file.

[edit 2]
what worked for me in the end:

• install plugin
• restart jenkins
• create telegram bot with botfather
• add token and bot name (without the @) to Jenkins settings page
• set mode to accept all
• maybe reboot jenkins
• send /start and /sub commands to the bot (in telegram)
• set mode to manual accept
• trigger your pipeline to test, it should work now

It works, because in accept all mode, the subscriptions are added to the jenkinsci.plugins.telegrambot.TelegramBotGlobalConfiguration.xml file. then on change to manual subscription, the entries stay. btw.: this file is the place, where the telegram chat-id is stored.
