Unable to get a specific number of messages from history

[mmartinortiz]

Hi,
I am trying to save the chat history into a file. However, when I use the execute_function function, I always get 40 results (the default number)

n_messages = 0
for message in sender.execute_function('history', 'my_contact', '10'):
    n_messages += 1
# It is always 40
print(n_messages)

What is the way for specify the size of the history?

Thanks!

I can reproduce that bug. I'll look into it.

from pytg.sender import Sender ; s = Sender("localhost", 4458)
n_messages = len(s.history('my_contact', '10'))
print("Length is {length}".format(length=n_messages))
#  40

I located the bug. The problem is that the '10' is a string, so the optional parameter limit which requires an int is skipped.

import logging ; logging.basicConfig(level=logging.DEBUG)
s.history('my_contact', '10')
# log shows:
DEBUG:pytg.sender:Parsing history: Argument user_name - <user> (needed)
DEBUG:pytg.sender:Parsing history: Argument 10 - [limit] (needed)
pytg.exceptions.ArgumentParseError: Not a int/long
DEBUG:pytg.sender:Skipping unfitting optional parameter #1 [limit] (type PositiveNumber) in function history.
DEBUG:pytg.sender:Parsing history: Argument 10 - [offset] (needed)

So that works like intended, the actual problem is that the int as argument does not work (#32).

Fixed.
