Question

i'm trying to make a telegram bot (telebot) i am having a problem with my code

@bot.message_handler(commands=['testes'])
def testes(send_photo,message):
    qr75 = open('qr75.jpg', 'rb')
    bot.send_photo(send_photo.chat.id, qr75)
    bot.send_message(message.chat.id'Hallo')

TypeError: testes() missing 1 required positional argument: 'message'

what should I fix? sorry I'm a beginner

I think there's a little mix up in the function arguments going on. Here's the documentation on @bot.message_handler https://pytba.readthedocs.io/en/latest/sync_version/index.html#telebot.TeleBot.message_handler

As a parameter to the decorator function, it passes telebot.types.Message object.

Therefore, your function testes should expect only one argument - message.

I changed your code a bit, now it should work:

@bot.message_handler(commands=['testes'])
def testes(message):
    qr75 = open('qr75.jpg', 'rb')
    bot.send_photo(message.chat.id, qr75)
    bot.send_message(message.chat.id, 'Hallo')

(also added a comma on the last row)

Hope that helps!

I'm glad! Could you please accept my answer if it solved your problem? — Maria K, Jun 19 '23 at 21:17
