telegram-bot-tests is a cursor rule for Cursor from vendelieu/telegram-bot. It costs 369 tokens per session, scanned A, original, Apache-2.0.

A set of testing rules for a Kotlin Telegram Bot library. It explains how to structure tests, make bot requests, check successful or failed responses, handle rate limits, and load test settings from environment variables.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it when writing or reviewing tests for Telegram bot methods. It covers test setup, API-call helpers, assertions, error text checks, rate-limit handling, and required credentials.
Why use it?
It gives contributors a consistent way to test Telegram API actions and their responses. It also shows how to avoid treating a temporary Telegram rate-limit response as a normal test failure.

Token cost

What it costs to keep this loaded

Counted locally with the o200k_base tokenizer, which is exact for GPT models; Claude uses its own tokenizer and its counts differ. Treat this as one consistent yardstick across the catalogue rather than a bill. Prices are per million input tokens.

Security

Grade A, and why

telegram-bot-tests scanned grade A with 0 findings against 26 rules in 11 categories — prompt injection, anti-refusal, data exfiltration, privilege escalation, supply chain, agent snooping, system-prompt leakage, SSRF and excessive agency — measured 1mo ago.

A static scan of the body, not an audit. Every finding is printed with the line that produced it so you can judge whether it matters here. A mod is markdown that instructs an agent; that is exactly why what it instructs is worth reading.

Nothing flagged

None of the 26 patterns this scan looks for appear in this file: no shell pipes, no recursive deletes, no credential paths, no hidden text, no instruction-override or anti-refusal phrasing, no agent-config snooping. That is not a guarantee, it is the absence of the things that are checkable.

What it actually says

Telegram Bot Test Rules

Test Base

  • Extend BotTestContext (provides bot, TG_ID, CHAT_ID, CHANNEL_ID)
  • Use Kotest AnnotationSpec with @Test for suspend tests
class MyApiTest : BotTestContext() {
    @Test
    suspend fun `descriptive test name`() {
        // ...
    }
}

API Call Helpers

  • Action: action.sendReq(to = TG_ID, via = bot) or action.sendReq(CHAT_ID)
  • SimpleAction: action.sendReq(via = bot) or action.sendReq()
  • MediaAction: same as Action
  • sendReq() returns Response<T>; use sendReturning() when you need Deferred

Assertions

  • Success: .shouldSuccess() - asserts ok, isSuccess, getOrNull not null
  • Failure: .shouldFailure() - returns Response.Failure
  • Optional result: .getOrNull() when success is not guaranteed
  • Error text: response.shouldFailure() shouldContainInDescription "ERROR_TEXT"

Rate Limits

Handle 429 with onFailure:

val result = setMyName("test").sendReq()
result.onFailure { if (it.errorCode == 429) return }
result.shouldSuccess()

Environment

Tests load from .env or system env: TELEGRAM_ID, BOT_TOKEN, CHAT_ID, CHANNEL_ID, BOT_TOKEN_2, PAYMENT_PROVIDER_TOKEN

Changes

What this file has done since we first saw it

Hashed on every crawl. A supply-chain change to an agent config is a question of when, not whether, so the history is kept rather than the latest state alone.
