can not find command 'channel_list'

[vincentkwok]

channel_list it was -removed- not in v1.3.1 https://github.com/vysheng/tg/blob/1.3.1/interface.c#L1292

@vincentkwok ok thanks, what should I do now to export my conversations?

[vincentkwok]

the config is in master branch. Use master branch instead.

[narbehaj]

@vincentkwok The telegram-cli is already in the master branch. What do you mean? What config?

[vincentkwok]

do you clone & build telegram-cli from master branch? or it was in v.1.3.1 ?

[narbehaj]

@vincentkwok yes I did.

[vincentkwok]

telegram-history-dump tries to call channel_list command. It does NOT in telegram-cli v1.3.1 BUT in master branch. You have to build the telegram-cli binary yourself based on master branch steps below:

1. clone https://github.com/vysheng/tg:master
2. follow installation to build
3. use built bin/telegram-cli to connect telegram
4. ruby telegram-history-dump.rb

I did that, but same error :(

[vincentkwok]

Can't reproduce your case :(

I had the same problem :/ My solution was as simple as reading the command i copied and pasted c a r e f u l l y

I had the command compied from my wiki which replaced the two dashes from the command line parameter --json into one long dash like –json.

So if your telegramcli output looks colorful (it should be plain json) you probably did the same mistake.

@ChrisDeChef thanks for the note but my problem is not related to --json option. It relates to telegram-cli's new version which does not support channel_list command.
