Can't create multiple bots with no callback url about groupy HOT 6 CLOSED

Hi @ntsirakis, that error message indicates that the callback url is already in use for a bot that's in that group. Each group and callback url combination must be unique.

@rhgrant10 even if the callback URL is None for both bots?

@ntsirakis hm, no callbacks is an interesting wrinkle. I tested this and found it to be true against both the API and the web UI at https://dev.groupme.com/bots, so it seems that it's not a problem with the Groupy client itself.

That being said, I've started a conversation with the devs on their support email to determine whether this is intentional design or the byproduct of a simple unique constraint on a database column.

I played around with the API and the web UI a bit attempting to make multiple bots in a group with no callback url. Because the web UI defaults the callback to an empty string and my client defaults to a null callback, I was only technically successful. Creating more than two in this way appears impossible since tests reveal null, empty string, and a valid URI are the only values allowed.

I made sure to ask the devs whether this behavior in the API changed recently, but I'd like to rule out the possibility that there actually exists a way to create two such bots using the API. You mentioned that this was working a few weeks back... may I also ask which version of Groupy you were using then and which version you are using now?

@rhgrant10 thanks for looking into it! The version of Groupy should not have changed, I'm currently on 0.10.3. Very interesting point about the distinction between null and empty string; I thought I was able to work around the issue by creating the bot with the web UI, but I hadn't tried making a third bot. That does indeed fail, darn. Let me know what you find.

@rhgrant10 Just realizing that my attempt to make the bot a few weeks ago did not involve a second, already-established bot, so that's why I had no issues. I didn't realize at the time of my initial post that it was a multi-bot issue. This callback issue may have been present for a while, then.

@ntsirakis okay yeah that makes sense. This was a weird issue... took me a while to figure it out 😂 In that case, I'll go ahead a close this issue. If/when GroupMe devs respond I'll update this issue with the info.
