TelegramBot runs multiple times

[CFenner]

I’m new to the Telegram module. I installed it and it works so far. But whens I’m developing on my modules, I typically run the Mirror UI on my laptop. This gives me than the following error:

1|mm  | [TELBOT] Error 409 Conflict: terminated by other getUpdates request; make sure that only one bot instance is running

Also the Telegram chat says that I must not run multiple bot instance.

How can I overcome this? Shouldn’t the bot be running on the mirror and not in my browser?

@cfenner
It doesn’t work on multi-instances. If you run two fronts ui at the same time, the error will happens.
How to overcome? Well, there be almost no solution for that.
Maybe you can modify node_helper.js not to execute one more instance from another front but I’m not sure that is what you really want.

Maybe the node_helper should only be initialized for the first time:

I have already try to allow multi insence but TB sever refuse it
So, I can’t do something for this

@bugsounet Just to clarify, I think we don’t need multiple bot instances, just reuse one bot instance from multiple UI instances.

I files a PR for prevent re-initialization if there is already a bot.
