See original GitHub issue

Context

Telegraf.js Version: 3.21.2
Node.js Version: 10.1.0
Operating System: Ubuntu 16.04.3

Expected Behavior

bot.hears triggers comand handler if message from group

Current Behavior

bot.hears doesn’t trigger comand handler if message from group

Steps to Reproduce

I have next code

const helpResp = 'test';
bot.telegram.getMe().then((botInfo) => {
  bot.options.username = botInfo.username;

  bot.hears(/\/help(@botname)?/, (ctx) => ctx.replyWithMarkdown(helpResponse));
});

Bot replies in private chat on /help and /help@botname commands, but doesn’t reply in group

Messages from group are in logs, but bot do not response to chat

I will appreciate any help

I think it related with #134

This is truly amazing guys. I have spent around 6 hours in total during a few days, trying to figure out why a bot doesn’t reply to a group chat. Previously wasn’t able to find this issue to read about setting options.username, which has helped. The main thing is that it’s absolutely absent in the documentation…

Maybe solved already… anyway: This should work with the command-parts middleware. https://github.com/telegraf/telegraf-command-parts
