sendMessage - Could not find the input entity for ${peer}

Work:

let result = await client.invoke(
        new Api.messages.SendMessage({
            peer: 'username',
            message: 'hello'
        })
    )
    console.log(result);

if peer is a number, which is chat_id :

let result = await client.invoke(
        new Api.messages.SendMessage({
            peer: 123456789,
            message: 'hello'
        })
    )
    console.log(result);

got error:

throw new Error(`Could not find the input entity for ${peer}.

Error: Could not find the input entity for [object Object].

Any solution?

Still encountering this error, tell me how to make the library see the address where I want to send the message.

When I put userId there the message is sent, but when I put chatId the error appears.

If you are using a bot then the bot need to be in that chat or has talked to that user before. If you are using a user then you need to get that chat somehow either with an event being sent there (like a new message) or by getting all dialogs on startup (client.getDialogs())

I do through the user, added (client.getDialogs ()) and it worked. Thanks!

An error popped up in the process:

function iterDialogs(client, { limit = undefined, offsetDate = undefined, offsetId = 0, offsetPeer = new tl_1.Api.InputPeerEmpty(), ignorePinned = false, ignoreMigrated = false, folder = undefined, archived = undefined, }) { ^ TypeError: Cannot read property ‘limit’ of undefined

Specified the “limit” value and everything worked!

Great. I forgot to add the limit in the example I sent. Usually something like 100 or 50 is enough.
