Features¶
- Log into a Telegram user account and interact with bots
- Capable of sending messages and retrieving the bot’s responses
Usage¶
Suppose we want to write integration tests for @BotListBot
by sending it a couple of messages and asserting that it responds the way it should.
First, let’s create a BotIntegrationClient
:
from tgintegration import BotIntegrationClient
client = BotIntegrationClient(
bot_under_test='@BotListBot',
session_name='my_account', # arbitrary file path to the Pyrogram session file
api_id=API_ID,
api_hash=API_HASH,
max_wait_response=15, # maximum timeout for bot responses
min_wait_consecutive=2 # minimum time to wait for consecutive messages
)
client.start()
client.clear_chat() # Let's start with a blank screen
Now let’s send the /start
command to the bot_under_test
and “await” exactly three messages:
response = client.send_command_await("start", num_expected=3)
assert response.num_messages == 3
assert response.messages[0].sticker
The result should look like this:

Let’s examine these buttons in the response…
second_message = response[1]
# Three buttons in the first row
assert len(second_message.reply_markup.inline_keyboard[0]) == 3
We can also find and press the inline keyboard buttons:
# Click the first button matching the pattern
examples = response.press_inline_button(pattern=r'.*Examples')
assert "Examples for contributing to the BotList" in examples.full_text
As the bot edits the message, press_inline_button
automatically listens for MessageEdited
updates and picks up on the edit, returning it as Response
.

So what happens when we send an invalid query or the bot fails to respond?
try:
# The following instruction will raise an `InvalidResponseError` after
# `client.max_wait_response` seconds
client.send_command_await("ayylmao")
except InvalidResponseError:
print("Raised.")
The BotIntegrationClient
is based off a regular Pyrogram Client
, meaning that,
in addition to the *_await
methods, all normal calls still work:
client.send_message(client.bot_under_test, "Hello Pyrogram")
client.send_message_await("Hello Pyrogram") # This automatically uses the bot_under_test as the peer
client.send_voice_await("files/voice.ogg")
client.send_video_await("files/video.mp4")
Custom awaitable actions¶
The main logic for the timeout between sending a message and receiving a response from the user
is handled in the act_await_response
method:
def act_await_response(self, action: AwaitableAction) -> Response: ...
It expects an AwaitableAction
which is a plan for a message to be sent, while the
BotIntegrationClient
just makes it easy and removes a lot of the boilerplate code to
create these actions.
After executing the action, the client collects all incoming messages that match the filters
and adds them to the response. Thus you can think of a Response
object as a collection of
messages returned by the peer in reaction to the executed AwaitableAction
.
from tgintegration import AwaitableAction, Response
from pyrogram import Filters
peer = '@BotListBot'
action = AwaitableAction(
func=client.send_message,
kwargs=dict(
chat_id=peer,
text="**Hello World**",
parse_mode='markdown'
),
# Wait for messages only by the peer we're interacting with
filters=Filters.user(peer) & Filters.incoming,
# Time out and raise after 15 seconds
max_wait=15
)
response = client.act_await_response(action) # type: Response

You can contribute in many ways:
Types of Contributions¶
Report Bugs¶
Report bugs at https://github.com/JosXa/tgintegration/issues.
If you are reporting a bug, please include:
- Your operating system name and version.
- Any details about your local setup that might be helpful in troubleshooting.
- Detailed steps to reproduce the bug.
Fix Bugs¶
Look through the GitHub issues for bugs. Anything tagged with “bug” and “help wanted” is open to whoever wants to implement it.
Implement Features¶
Look through the GitHub issues for features. Anything tagged with “enhancement” and “help wanted” is open to whoever wants to implement it.
Write Documentation¶
tgintegration could always use more documentation, whether as part of the official tgintegration docs, in docstrings, or even on the web in blog posts, articles, and such.
Submit Feedback¶
The best way to send feedback is to file an issue at https://github.com/JosXa/tgintegration/issues.
If you are proposing a feature:
- Explain in detail how it would work.
- Keep the scope as narrow as possible, to make it easier to implement.
- Remember that this is a volunteer-driven project, and that contributions are welcome :)
Get Started!¶
Ready to contribute? Here’s how to set up tgintegration for local development.
Fork the tgintegration repo on GitHub.
Clone your fork locally:
$ git clone git@github.com:your_name_here/tgintegration.git
Install your local copy into a virtualenv. Assuming you have virtualenvwrapper installed, this is how you set up your fork for local development:
$ mkvirtualenv tgintegration $ cd tgintegration/ $ python setup.py develop
Create a branch for local development:
$ git checkout -b name-of-your-bugfix-or-feature
Now you can make your changes locally.
When you’re done making changes, check that your changes pass flake8 and the tests, including testing other Python versions with tox:
$ flake8 tgintegration tests $ python setup.py test or py.test $ tox
To get flake8 and tox, just pip install them into your virtualenv.
Commit your changes and push your branch to GitHub:
$ git add . $ git commit -m "Your detailed description of your changes." $ git push origin name-of-your-bugfix-or-feature
Submit a pull request through the GitHub website.
Pull Request Guidelines¶
Before you submit a pull request, check that it meets these guidelines:
- The pull request should include tests.
- If the pull request adds functionality, the docs should be updated. Put your new functionality into a function with a docstring, and add the feature to the list in README.rst.
- The pull request should work for Python 2.6, 2.7, 3.3, 3.4 and 3.5, and for PyPy. Check https://travis-ci.org/JosXa/tgintegration/pull_requests and make sure that the tests pass for all supported Python versions.
