Cannot receive any message!

[abahramali]

Hi

Thanks for the code. I have a problem with receiving incoming messages. I have two bot clients running on two different machines. Both clients are members of a room. I'm trying to send messages using one client and receive them using the other one. Similar to the example code, I create a Flask application and also set the callback URL successfully. However, when the other bot sends a message to the room I did not receive anything in the register function. I also checked the Flask address and port using POSTMAN and it's working. I really appreciate it if you could help me.

Thank you so much.

You can probably verify that the message is being sent correctly, but a couple of ways:

1. have the bot client send a message to a direct message conversation to the other bot client (as opposed to using the room conversation). At least this will verify the message is being sent.
2. add a normal client to the room that the 2 bot clients are in, and verify the message is actually getting into the room.

Thanks for the help. I actually added a normal client to the room and verify that the message is actually sent. I see the message in the Wickr App but my bot does not receive anything.

This is my code:

PORT_NUMER = 8090
app = Flask(name)
def main():
  payload = {"callbackurl": "http://127.0.0.1:8090/callback"}

  setMsgRecvCallback = requests.post(webInterfaceURL + "/MsgRecvCallback", headers=PARAMS, params=payload)

  print (setMsgRecvCallback.content)
  print("HELLO")

  getMsgRecvCallback = requests.get(webInterfaceURL + "/MsgRecvCallback", headers=PARAMS)

  print (getMsgRecvCallback.content)


@app.route('/callback', methods=['POST'])
def register():
  print ('New incoming Message:', request.get_json())
  return "OK 200"

if name == "main":
  main()
  app.run(debug=False, port=PORT_NUMER)
print ("WORLD")

Hi, Are you sure that your bot-cloud container can reach your python code at 127.0.0.1?

Hi, I actually accidentally left in some extra code on the previous email. I have tested this running on the same machine as my docker hosted bot-cloud container. This example assumes that the bot-cloud container is at 172.17.0.2 on the local machine using port 4001. This example uses "api" for the api key and the api secret, however the secret is base64 encoded. This is also assuming that you are running the python code in a dev server on port 5000. The bot_callback_ip is set to 172.17.0.1 which is the docker bridge so that it can reach your local host. Hope this helps. ``` #!/usr/bin/python # Python imports from flask import Flask, request import requests import os import json from subprocess import Popen, PIPE, STDOUT import time bot_api_server_ip = "172.17.0.2" bot_api_server_port = "4001" bot_api_key = "api" bot_secret = "YXBp" bot_callback_ip = "172.17.0.1" bot_callback_port = "5000" # Bot callback url function def botSetCallbackURL(): bot_web_interface_URL = "http://{bot_api_server_ip}:{bot_api_server_port}/WickrIO/V1/Apps/{bot_api_key}".format(bot_api_server_ip=bot_api_server_ip, \ bot_api_server_port=bot_api_server_port, bot_api_key=bot_api_key) bot_headers = {'Accept': '*/*', 'Content-Type': 'application/json', 'Authorization': 'Basic {bot_secret}'.format(bot_secret=bot_secret)} bot_callback_url = "http://{bot_callback_ip}:{bot_callback_port}/callback".format(bot_callback_ip=bot_callback_ip, bot_callback_port=bot_callback_port) bot_callback_payload = {'callbackurl': '{bot_callback_url}'.format(bot_callback_url=bot_callback_url)} bot_msgrecv_callback_url = bot_web_interface_URL + "/MsgRecvCallback" attempts = 1 while True: try: setMsgRecvCallback = requests.post(bot_msgrecv_callback_url, headers=bot_headers, params=bot_callback_payload) print("Setting Callback URL") getMsgRecvCallback = requests.get(bot_msgrecv_callback_url, headers=bot_headers) callbackStatus = "Callback POST Response :", setMsgRecvCallback.text, " Callback GET Response :", getMsgRecvCallback.text print(callbackStatus) break except Exception as e: time.sleep(1) attempts += 1 print(e, "\nError setting Callback URL!!!

Thanks @csiens. The problem was the one you mentioned. I changed the callback IP and now it's working.

Awesome @abahramali Let me know if you have any questions!
