Invalid Message Reply

[nickninov]

Found this while messing around with the Python SDK:

RPC call:

wakuext_sendChatMessage

Parameters:

params = [{
    "chatId": billy_butcher, # Valid Chat ID
    "text": "Hello world!",
    "contentType": 1,
    "responseTo": "test" # Message ID does not exist
}]

Is there a way to check if the given responseTo is valid? When I try to run the code with an invalid chatId I get error instead of result.

Yeah, it should be easy to validate.

Hi — I’d like to work on this. I plan to add validation so a non-empty responseTo must identify an existing message, with a focused regression test covering the invalid case. I’ll wait for a core contributor’s approval before starting.
