Listen issues #763

Alcap · 2019-11-17T19:16:13Z

Hi,

Did anyone notice some change in behaviour on facebook's end? I have an api.listen on my code and it was working just fine and all of the sudden it stopped.

Any code that that I place in the callback doesn't get executed when a message is received. This code was working fine just a few days ago and now, nothing.
There's no errors provided, so I'm at a loss on how to go on the troubleshooting and how to fix this.

Thanks!

Alcap · 2019-11-18T16:18:59Z

Actually, I've tried to pick up the example code and run it as vanilla as possible and it is still unable to react when someone sends a message to any thread.
I've looked up how to increase verbosity of the listen functions, but couldn't find anything of relevance... Any tips?

Thanks

AstroCB · 2019-11-19T21:24:59Z

I'm also experiencing this issue – my listen handler is no longer receiving messages.

There was a Messenger outage yesterday; perhaps this is related?

BadAimWeeb · 2019-11-20T06:25:57Z

Facebook Messenger is using WebSocket now.

great, now we need to rewrite that listen.js file

HossamMohsen7 · 2019-11-20T11:26:38Z

I have the same issue too. I think they now use websockets only.

I think they are using a MQTT over websockets protocol.

HossamMohsen7 · 2019-11-20T22:36:33Z

This might help too: https://github.com/tulir/fbchat-asyncio/blob/yet-another-rewrite/fbchat/_client.py#L2749-L2882

I did try this one but still the same problem

dinhphuc · 2019-11-24T08:15:59Z

I have the same issue too.

ghost · 2019-11-24T08:17:26Z

I also have the same issue.

Schmavery · 2019-11-24T20:24:35Z

If anyone has time, they could experiment with hooking up something like https://www.npmjs.com/package/mqtt maybe

HossamMohsen7 · 2019-11-24T20:43:15Z

@Schmavery
Actually I did. It worked but the library itself needs some modification to work with the facebook protocol.

HossamMohsen7 · 2019-11-25T00:51:05Z

I'll try to get a PR ready when I can.

PixelHir · 2019-11-27T14:05:40Z

Stopped working today

PixelHir · 2019-11-27T14:10:42Z

for now i think that this could work as a replacement until the issue is resolved

HossamMohsen7 · 2019-11-27T22:54:26Z

PR is ready. Waiting to be merged.

ghost · 2019-11-28T07:30:15Z

@7osCraft I have this error on login:

And listening doesn't work. This error is not showing on API from @Schmavery repo using the same code.

ac-opensource · 2019-11-28T07:46:16Z

@KMatuszak do an npm install ac-opensource/facebook-chat-api for now, I fixed it on mine

AstroCB · 2019-11-28T07:54:38Z

Listen is still not working for me, even with @ac-opensource's fix.

ghost · 2019-11-28T08:47:10Z

For me it works after @ac-opensource fix, but it looks like listenMqtt is listening by default for everything, not only for messages.

HossamMohsen7 · 2019-11-28T09:06:15Z

@KMatuszak yeah sorry will fix that

HossamMohsen7 · 2019-11-28T09:11:56Z

Issue fixed.
Yes, listenMqtt listens for everything that listen was polling.

HossamMohsen7 · 2019-11-28T09:14:45Z

@KMatuszak Please tell me if you find any errors.

HossamMohsen7 · 2019-11-28T09:15:49Z

@AstroCB is there any logs you could provide?

ghost · 2019-11-28T09:16:44Z

Everything works fine now for me 🙂

ghost · 2019-11-28T13:57:46Z

@7osCraft Out of curiosity, I will ask if these changes related to MQTT can have any effect on the speed of message capture? After these changes my bot responds much faster.

PixelHir · 2019-11-28T14:23:01Z

Shouldn't we just replace the listen function with mqtt?

The .listen() is obsolete anyway now and they work basically in the same way.

PixelHir · 2019-11-28T14:34:59Z

Shouldn't we just replace the listen function with mqtt?

The .listen() is obsolete anyway now and they work basically in the same way.

I actually take that back, .getUserInfo() now only returns an array of ids i submitted

[ '100010956664***', '100015763590***', '100017030117***', '100036272225***', '100028694583***', '100011812170***', '100022199253***', '100027434141***', '100009891793***', '100012392437***' ]

dinhphuc · 2019-11-28T14:42:22Z

@7osCraft Maybe merge not yet. How to use this?

PixelHir · 2019-11-28T19:42:40Z

@PixelHir I didn't change any other function so mqtt changes shouldn't affect getUserInfo. I'll test to see if facebook changed something.

I think that facebook is sending data in a different way now, I can try inspecting it later

HossamMohsen7 · 2019-11-28T19:52:17Z

@7osCraft After a few hours of running my bot I got this error:

@KMatuszak
I think that happened to me once in the old polling system. Will push and update right now.

HossamMohsen7 · 2019-11-28T20:22:53Z

@KMatuszak Pushed an update. Could you please try now?

ghost · 2019-11-28T20:24:50Z

Yup, but i need some time to make sure the error will not occur again.

ghost · 2019-11-28T20:32:13Z

Now it spams JSON's in the console 😛

HossamMohsen7 · 2019-11-28T20:35:25Z

Yeah that was a mistake I need to fix it

HossamMohsen7 · 2019-11-28T20:40:39Z

@KMatuszak All good now please install again and sorry for that

ghost · 2019-11-28T20:58:57Z

Now everything is working perfectly, thank you 🙂

thanhdatpd · 2019-11-29T01:45:18Z

@7osCraft

kentnek · 2019-12-02T13:04:12Z

listenMqtt works great so far, however events (message.type === "event") are not picked up.

HossamMohsen7 · 2019-12-02T17:19:42Z

@kentnek Make sure listenEvents is set to true in the options.

kentnek · 2019-12-02T17:46:23Z

@7osCraft it's always been true in my code. Below is my setup:

api.setOptions({
  logLevel: "warn",   
  listenEvents: true,
  forceLogin: true
});

PixelHir · 2019-12-03T08:13:05Z

For some reason, this happens

Not sure why it happened, the code was running in background

Tanuki33 · 2019-12-03T09:00:05Z

EDIT : i reinstall 7osCraft/facebook-chat-api , work again..
I just realized today, handleMessageRequest not working.

      api.getThreadList(1000, null, ["PENDING"], (err, list) => {
        if (err) return console.error(err.errorSummary);
        for (var prop in list) {
          if (list.hasOwnProperty(prop)) {
            api.handleMessageRequest(list[prop].threadID, true, err => {
              console.log(err);
            });
            console.log("is grup? = " + list[prop].isGroup +"\n" + list[prop].name + "\nCannot Reply? = " + list[prop].cannotReplyReason;
            );
          }
        }

no error output

The pull has been merged already if some of you didn't notice. (#765)

The issue should be still open so we can report any new bugs with Mqtt.

UPDATE: nevermind, it turned out I need to update my fb account's password.

@PixelHir It's weird now that some fields change in the data that facebook sends. I'll look into that as soon as I can.

Page on MQTT is not working yet.

ptrcnull · 2020-02-16T13:47:05Z

I'll be more than happy to help on MQTT code, we've been working on Android MQTT version for some time and compared to that, the browser one seems much easier.

hong4rc · 2020-03-03T02:58:17Z

Currently, the listen method has different from the browser.
