I’m trying to create a Telegram bot but when I run the code I get these errors:
"node-telegram-bot-api deprecated Automatic enabling of cancellation of promises is deprecated
In the future, you will have to enable it yourself.
See https://github.com/yagop/node-telegram-bot-api/issues/319. internalmodulescjsloader.js:1063:30"
"error: [polling_error] {"code":"ETELEGRAM","message":"ETELEGRAM: 409 Conflict: terminated by
other getUpdates request; make sure that only one bot instance is running"}"
Any help would be appreciated.
Here is my bot.js code if that helps:
const TelegramBot = require('node-telegram-bot-api');
const axios = require('axios');
const parser = require('./parser.js');
require('dotenv').config();
const token = process.env.TELEGRAM_TOKEN;
let bot;
if (process.env.NODE_ENV === 'production') {
bot = new TelegramBot(token);
bot.setWebHook(process.env.HEROKU_URL + bot.token);
} else {
bot = new TelegramBot(token, { polling: true });
}
// Matches "/word whatever"
bot.onText(//word (.+)/, (msg, match) => {
const chatId = msg.chat.id;
const word = match[1];
axios
.get(`${process.env.OXFORD_API_URL}/entries/en-gb/${word}`, {
params: {
fields: 'definitions',
strictMatch: 'false'
},
headers: {
app_id: process.env.OXFORD_APP_ID,
app_key: process.env.OXFORD_APP_KEY
}
})
.then(response => {
const parsedHtml = parser(response.data);
bot.sendMessage(chatId, parsedHtml, { parse_mode: 'HTML' });
})
.catch(error => {
const errorText = error.response.status === 404 ? `No definition found for the word: <b>${word}</b>` : `<b>An error occured, please try again later</b>`;
bot.sendMessage(chatId, errorText, { parse_mode:'HTML'})
});
});

.env
at the root of your project.NTBA_FIX_319=1
require('dotenv').config()
1) Get rid of the promise cancellation warning
The simplest, is to add that line at the top of your bot file:
2) The 409 conflict error
In short, there are two version of your telegram bot running at the same time, so:
