How to upload files? (update to Telethon > 1.0)

• telegram-upload version: 0.1.5
• Python version: 3.5
• Operating System: Elementary OS

Description

Describe what you were trying to get done. I was trying to upload file using telegram-upload Tell us what happened, what went wrong, and what you expected to happen. File wasn’t uploaded and I got a warning.

What I Did

I ran the command telegram-upload /home/cyberboy/python/TelegramBot/test100k.db

Paste the command(s) you ran and the output.

/usr/local/lib/python3.5/dist-packages/telegram_upload/client.py:31: RuntimeWarning: coroutine ‘UploadMethods.send_file’ was never awaited progress_callback=progress, attributes=get_file_attributes(file))

If there was a crash, please include the traceback here.

I’m not able to understand how to make it upload a certain file. I also had a query whether it can send the uploaded file to a member having a certain chat_id ?

A documentation of how to use this will be very useful.

There have been changes in the Telethon dependency. https://telethon.readthedocs.io/en/latest/extra/basic/asyncio-magic.html

(telegram-upload) [nekmo@homura ~/Workspace/telegram-upload] (master)$ ./scripts/telegram-upload tox.ini 
/home/nekmo/Workspace/telegram-upload/telegram_upload/client.py:31: RuntimeWarning: coroutine 'UploadMethods.send_file' was never awaited
  progress_callback=progress, attributes=get_file_attributes(file))

(telegram-upload) [nekmo@homura ~/Workspace/telegram-upload] (master)$ 

It is necessary to adapt the code. Meanwhile, you can use an earlier version of Telethon.

pip install Telethon==0.18.1.1

Thanks for your help.

By default telegram-upload sends the files to your own user (me). You can specify the user (using @user or id) with the --to parameter.
