How to make bot "reply with typing" about jbot HOT 5 CLOSED

I thought while replying back, the type will be always message which is not. So I think its a minor bug.

Yes, if you reply with type as typing then it should work. It may not be working in some cases where in no time you send back a reply with type message. Are you sure you're not sending a reply with type message instantly after typing?

Thanks for the reply. Yes Its working, when I went through your reply method it was resetting the message type so I have written a custom reply method using reply method as reference and it works like a charm.

@abstract-karshit but the reply() method is final. Did you modify the library to get it working? I think this maybe an issue which needs to be solved. I can set the type to message only if it isn't set by the user or something.

Yes, reply method is final. I re-wrote the method in a my own class BotUtils.
Yes, I think we should set the type only when it isn't set by the user, I didn't modified the source code as I am using it as a maven dependency.
Also, one more thing to point out is when we encode message, the user mention is not working.
<@userid> doesn't works, so I removed encode in my version of the reply method.
