Async/await works with polling, but not with webHooks

Context

I have a bot and I’m running it with the different update approaches - long polling and webHooks. For some reasons, the same code works with the first option but doesn’t work with the second one. After some investigation, I found out that this piece of code breaks webHooks:

myStage.enter(async ctx => {
  const someData = await makeRequest();
  ctx.reply('Hello');
});

What’s strange about that, if I’ll have 2 ctx.reply(), then it will work and bot will send both messages. But if there is only one ctx.reply(), it won’t send anything.

• Telegraf.js Version: 3.25.0
• Node.js Version: 9.7.0
• Operating System: Ubuntu 16.04

Expected Behavior

The same code should work both with long polling and webHooks.

Current Behavior

Apparently, it doesn’t.

Failure Information (for bugs)

There are no any errors.

Steps to Reproduce

1. Create a stage;
2. Use promise in enter callback.

@dmbaranov, Hello!

Not sure how your await works, but I think that here your promise chain is broken Try to check your problem code with enabled Webhook and disabled Webhook reply

const config = {
	telegram: { webhookReply: true } // default true, but need to set false
};
const app = new Telegraf( /*token*/, config);

And so another moment, that reply method is async too. I think that it needs set await prefix

myStage.enter(async ctx => {
  const someData = await makeRequest();
  await ctx.reply('Hello');
});

@tva10 thanks for reply. Setting webhookReply: false fixes the problem indeed. Thanks for the explanation, though it’s still not clear enough for me why this is happening… And thanks for the notice about asyncWrapper function as well 😃

I’ll mark ticket as closed.
