I don't understand why the callback_query_handler works the first time and doesn't work the second time


In the first function, everything works correctly, but in the second function, after sending a message with buttons, nothing happens further. The buttons do not send the callback data.

    def get_announcement(message):

        announcement = message.text
        if not announcement:
            bot.send_message(chat_id=message.chat.id, text="You have sent an empty message. Sending an announcement has been aborted because you cannot send an empty message.")
            return

        markup = types.InlineKeyboardMarkup(row_width=2)
        item1 = types.InlineKeyboardButton("๐Ÿ“Ž Attach photo", callback_data='attach_photo')
        item2 = types.InlineKeyboardButton("โžก๏ธ Skip", callback_data='skip')
        markup.add(item1, item2)

        bot.send_message(chat_id=message.chat.id, text="Do you want to attach a photo?", reply_markup=markup)

        @bot.callback_query_handler(func=lambda call: True)
        def handle_callback(call):
            if call.data == "attach_photo":
                bot.edit_message_text(chat_id=call.message.chat.id, message_id=call.message.id, text="Send the photo you want to attach.", reply_markup=None)
                bot.register_next_step_handler(message, lambda message: get_photo(message, announcement))
            elif call.data == "skip":
                bot.edit_message_text(chat_id=call.message.chat.id, message_id=call.message.id, text="Announcement will be sent without a photo.", reply_markup=None)
                photo=None
                get_notification_preference(message, announcement, photo)

    def get_notification_preference(message, announcement, photo):

        markup = types.InlineKeyboardMarkup(row_width=2)
        item1 = types.InlineKeyboardButton("๐Ÿ”ˆ Sand with notification", callback_data="notification_on")
        item2 = types.InlineKeyboardButton("๐Ÿ”‡ Send silently", callback_data="notification_off")
        markup.add(item1, item2)

        bot.send_message(chat_id=message.chat.id, text="How to send an announcement?", reply_markup=markup)

        @bot.callback_query_handler(func=lambda call: True)
        def handle_callback(call):
            if call.data == "notification_on":
                bot.edit_message_text(chat_id=call.message.chat.id, message_id=call.message.id, text="Announcement will be sent with notification", reply_markup=None)
                notification = True
                send_announcement(message, announcement, photo, notification)
            elif call.data == "notification_off":
                bot.edit_message_text(chat_id=call.message.chat.id, message_id=call.message.id, text="ะnnouncement will be sent silently.", reply_markup=None)
                notification = False
                send_announcement(message, announcement, photo, notification)

I've tried swapping functions, putting code in another function, changing variables, etc.

The code should set the value of the notification variable depending on which button the user presses.


Solution

  • The issue is that you are defining the callback query handlers inside the functions get_announcement and get_notification_preference. You need to define it globally.
