Send image with message

[meshungina]

What is the correct way to send an image along with a message? In my bash script 'bash telegram.sh - i image.png "message" only shows the message but no image.

I can't reproduce this... Was the image file a valid image file? What size did it have? Does it still not work for you?

[meshungina]

I tried with .png files of different sizes. the image sends when there is so message so i solved this by sending twice one for message and one for image. I think the issue is related to that the message is in this for: "${output7}" it is the console log output from selenium java.

Maybe try again. I had the same issue a while ago and solved it the same way: send image and message separately.

I just tried again now and it's working fine.

telegram -i test.jpg "message"
displays image and message combined.

I've the same error on Centos 6.4... maybe problem is curl option?

./telegram -t xxx -c xxx -i foto.jpg   
curl reported an error. Exit code was: 26.
Response was: 
Quitting.

I have the same error with file

-f results.txt

How can i resolve this issue?

UPDATE: I' ve debugged adding this line:

for id in "${CHATS[@]}"; do
        MY_CURL_OPTIONS="$CURL_OPTIONS --form-string chat_id=$id $URL$TOKEN/$METHOD"
        echo curl $MY_CURL_OPTIONS <<< "$TEXT"

./telegram_test -t xxx -c xxx -i foto.jpg

curl -s --form photo=@"foto.jpg" --form caption=<- --form-string chat_id=xxx https://api.telegram.org/botxxx:xxx/sendPhoto

curl reported an error. Exit code was: 26.
Response was: 
Quitting.

If I launch curl command I have:

curl -s --form photo=@"foto.jpg" --form caption=<- --form-string chat_id=xxx https://api.telegram.org/botxxx:xxx/sendPhoto
zsh: no such file or directory: -

The problem is

form caption=<-

indeed if i launch this with '--form "caption=title_image"' it's ok

curl -s --form photo=@"foto.jpg" --form "caption=title_image" --form-string chat_id=xxx https://api.telegram.org/botxxx:xxx/sendPhoto

{"ok":true,"result":{"message_id":34,"from":{

The same with simple text:

./telegram_test -t xxx:xxx -c xxx "Ciao"
curl -s --form text=<- --form-string chat_id=xxx "https://api.telegram.org/botxxx:xxx/sendMessage"

I must run this command with '--form "text=ciao"'
curl -s --form "text=ciao" --form-string chat_id=xxx https://api.telegram.org/botxxx:xxx/sendMessage

Then I've tried this fix:

elif [ -n "$IMAGE_FILE" ]; then
	check_file "$IMAGE_FILE"
	CURL_OPTIONS="$CURL_OPTIONS --form photo=@\"$IMAGE_FILE\""
	#CURL_OPTIONS="$CURL_OPTIONS --form caption=<-"
	CURL_OPTIONS="$CURL_OPTIONS --form \"caption=text\""

But the problem remain:

 ./telegram_test -t xxx:xxx -c xxx -i foto.jpg
curl -s --form photo=@"foto.jpg" --form "caption=ciao" --form-string chat_id=xxx https://api.telegram.org/botxxx:xxx/sendPhoto
curl reported an error. Exit code was: 26.
Response was: 
Quitting.

But the command curl is fixed:

curl -s --form photo=@"foto.jpg" --form "caption=ciao" --form-string chat_id=xxx https://api.telegram.org/botxxx:xxx/sendPhoto
{"ok":true,"result":{"

I'don' understand why you use "<-" for example in:
CURL_OPTIONS="$CURL_OPTIONS --form caption=<-"

Do you think it's possible fix this in your shell script?
