How install in laravel 9

[kioselsa]

Helow, my name is Oscar Delgado, First of all I would like to thank you for such a good app. I need your help, I can't install botman in Laravel 9, mark error: Problem 1 - botman/botman[2.6.0, ..., 2.6.1] require symfony/http-foundation ^2.8 || ^3.0 || ^4.0 || ^5.0 And I can't find the solution. I would be very grateful if you could help me

Hi, I made it a little dirty way but it works at least.

1st download all repositories that You need

then I uploaded all in single folder(in my case "botman") to main laravel folder

so in main folder i have:
botman
-botman
-driver-facebook
...

next i added in composer.json for every single repository downloaded this way:
"repositories": [ { "type": "path", "url": "./botman/botman" } ],

Then I replaced some code in every downloaded repository composer.json

for example my botman/botman/composer.json (basicly i moved to php 8.1 and removed not used in laravel 9 repositories that was causing problems
"require": { "php": ">=8.1", "symfony/http-foundation": "^2.8 || ^3.0 || ^4.0 || ^5.0 || ^6.0", "tightenco/collect": "^5.0 || ^6.0 || ^7.0 || ^8.0", "opis/closure": "^2.3 || ^3.0", "mpociot/pipeline": "^1.0.2", "react/socket": "~1.0", "spatie/macroable": "*", "psr/container": "^1.0 || ^2.0" }, "require-dev": { "codeigniter/framework": "~3.0", "orchestra/testbench": "^3.4 || ^4.0 || ^5.0 || ^6.0", "phpunit/phpunit": "^6.0 || ^7.0 || ^8.0", "mockery/mockery": "^1.1", "doctrine/cache": "^1.6", "symfony/cache": "^3.4.35 || ^4.3.7 || ^5.0", "ext-curl": "*", "dms/phpunit-arraysubset-asserts": "^0.4.0"

and finally:
composer require botman/botman
With succeed.

You can also make a fork of this repository and do it in simmilar way, for me better was local file based solution - i have repository sourcecode inside my project and i can easly update if needed.

Install Laravel

composer create-project laravel/laravel botman-demo

Install Botman

cd botman-demo
composer require botman/botman botman/driver-telegram

Configure Botman

mkdir config\botman
copy vendor\botman\botman\assets\config.php config\botman
copy vendor\botman\driver-telegram\stubs\telegram.php config\botman

Remember to setup the Telegram token in app\config\telegram.php

Add in app\routes\web.php

Route::any('telegram', [App\Http\Controllers\TelegramController::class, 'index'])->name('telegram');

Ignore CSRF token in app\Http\Middleware\VerifyCsrfToken.php

    protected $except = [
        '/telegram',
    ];

Create file app\Http\Controllers\TelegramController.php

<?php

namespace App\Http\Controllers;

use BotMan\BotMan\BotMan;
use BotMan\BotMan\BotManFactory;
use BotMan\BotMan\Cache\LaravelCache;
use BotMan\BotMan\Drivers\DriverManager;
use BotMan\Drivers\Telegram\TelegramContactDriver;
use BotMan\Drivers\Telegram\TelegramDriver;
use BotMan\Drivers\Telegram\TelegramLocationDriver;
use BotMan\Drivers\Telegram\TelegramPhotoDriver;
use Illuminate\Http\Request;

class TelegramController extends Controller
{
    public function index(Request $request)
    {
        DriverManager::loadDriver(TelegramDriver::class);
        DriverManager::loadDriver(TelegramPhotoDriver::class);
        DriverManager::loadDriver(TelegramLocationDriver::class);
        DriverManager::loadDriver(TelegramContactDriver::class);

        $config = array_merge([
            'config' => config('botman.config')
        ], [
            'web' => config('botman.web', [])
        ]);

        $botman = BotManFactory::create($config, new LaravelCache);

        $botman->hears('Hi', function (BotMan $bot) {
            $bot->reply('Hello!');
        });

        $botman->listen();
    }
}

How to setup webhook for it ?

[filippotoso]

The TelegramController::index() method above is the webhook.
The url is specified in the above routes.php example (/telegram)

[Odilbukh]

So to set webhook I need add /telegram to url right?
Example: https://yourapp.domain/telegram

[Odilbukh]

So I have setup webhook!

When I message to bot for example "Hi". The bot doest not answer. In ngrok inspect the request like "419 unknown status"

Ignore CSRF token in app\Http\Middleware\VerifyCsrfToken.php

        '/telegram',
    ];

There is error about Loging

laravel.EMERGENCY: Unable to create configured logger. Using emergency logger. {"exception":"[object] (InvalidArgumentException(code: 0): Log [deprecations] is not defined. at /vendor/laravel/framework/src/Illuminate/Log/LogManager.php:207)

[filippotoso]

Has nothing to do with Botman.

[Odilbukh]

and also

Hi Odilbukh, did it work? I'm having several issues trying to make it work, the simple instructions are not working for me.

Thanks!
