[ThorpeJosh]

Have you come across this error message Cannot resolve receiver before?
I did a quick search but couldn't find the source code that throws this specific message.

Ok so the error is being thrown by SignalBot._resolve_receiver. They are groups that the SignalBot is listening to so I assume this line group_id = self._groups_by_internal_id[receiver]["id"] is throwing a Key error.

There was a lot of changes made relating to the groups and this specific exception was introduced in v0.8.0.
Downgrading to v0.7.0 resolves the issue, so it appears that something in v0.8.0 has introduced some instability.

I see. Could you provide the initialization code that you use to start the bot and register the groups? I tried to make v0.8 backward compatible but there are probably still some bugs.

You can also try to use the new .register method that allows you to pass in signal group IDs and group names directly, without needing the secret or to call .listen*. There is an example in the example folder.

Here is my current setup.

config = {
    "signal_service": SIGNAL_API_HOST,
    "phone_number": SIGNAL_MOBILE_NO,
    "storage": None,
}
bot = SignalBot(config)
for group_id, group_internal_id in .....:
    bot.listen(group_id, group_internal_id)
bot.register(IPCommand())
bot.start()

I'll try out the new .register when I get a chance
