List groups api returns empty array

[kentliuqiao]

The problem

I've set up my local signal-cli using docker with this command
$ sudo docker run -d --name signal-api --restart=always -p 8080:8080 \ -v $HOME/.local/share/signal-cli:/home/.local/share/signal-cli \ -e 'MODE=native' bbernhard/signal-cli-rest-api
And then I create a new group on my phone(the same account as in my docker). But when I queried the list groups api: /v1/groups/<phone_number>, it returned empty array.

Should I create group using the rest api?
Or there's something else went wrong?

My OS system is Mac Mini, CPU is Apple M2, macOS version is 14.2(Sonama).

Please help.

Do you call the receive endpoint regularily? That is required in normal/native mode. Otherwise you can also switch to the json-rpc mode where this is done implicitly.

I'm using json-rpc mode. The problem is gone after I sent a message in the group on my cellphone.
