Unable to list messages

[hallyn]

Hi,

I'm able to send a message to a space, but cannot get listmessages (for the same space) to work:

messages &{[]} resp {"message":"Failed to get activity.","errors":[{"description":"Failed to get activity."}],"trackingId":"ROUTER_..."} err <nil>

Code is:

        Client = webexteams.NewClient()
        messageQueryParams := &webexteams.ListMessagesQueryParams{
                RoomID: room.webexRoomID,
                Max: 5,
        }
        messages, resp, err := Client.Messages.ListMessages(messageQueryParams)
        fmt.Printf("messages %v resp %v err %v\n", messages, resp, err)
        if err != nil {
                log.Fatal(err)
        }
        for id, message := range messages.Items {
                fmt.Println("GET:", id, message.ID, message.Text, message.Created)
        }

Is this due to an api change, or am I doing it wrong?

Hm, right, I think I knew this a few months ago:

But it's a weird error, and I was really hoping this was fixed by now.

Are you using a bot token?

Yes.

Bots cannot list messages in a space, they can only get their own messages. I'm closing this issue.

Ok, thanks for verifying that. It is though a huge limitation that I was hoping would one day be fixed. These are the sorts of limitations that make people choose another platform.
