[FEATURE] Native support for TGs test environment #3355
Labels
Comments
It's currently the only way to test topics without having 200 members in a test group |
As of Telegram 9.3 (Dec 30, 2022), we can now make a group of any size into forums. |
For future reference: A first draft PR was already made in #3972 and if we ever decide to go ahead with this, a PR may possibly build up on that PR. |

By now, TGs dedicated test environment is more prominently documented. Adding native support for it in PTB could be a desribale feature.
This feature is currently not on any roadmap, since it doesn't seem to be widely used. If you would like for PTB to have this feature, please react with a 👍 to the comment. If we see a large number of requests, this issue will likely get put on a roadmap.
Edit: One can trick PTB into using the test env by setting
token='<token>/test'
. But this hack is not guaranteed to keep working in future versions of PTB …Open Questions
We should check how the url returned by
get_file
behave, i.e. if they are stillhttps://api.telegram.org/file/bot<Token>/…
or if they are e.g.https://api.telegram.org/file/bot<token>/test/…
.Implementation options
Just quickly listing two options that come to my mind
A
test_env
flagThat would work via
ApplicationBuilder().token(…).test_env(True)
orBot(…, test_env=True)
. This would be non-breaking. However, if may not play nicely with custombase_file_url
depending on what we find out about file urls.Allow custom insertion of token into
base(_file)_url
That could either work by requesting the user to pass something like
base_url = 'api.telegram.org/bot{token}/'
(this would be a breaking change) or by allowing the user to pass aCallable[[str], str]
that accepts the token and returns the (file_)url (this could be implemented in a non-breaking manner)The text was updated successfully, but these errors were encountered:
