bot info: empty open_id

Error message

bot info: empty open_id

What it means

The bot-info call returned success (code 0) but the payload carried no bot.open_id, so the channel refuses to store an empty ID. This is an unexpected-but-successful response: the request reached Feishu and authenticated, yet the envelope lacks the expected field. Start() logs the fetch failure and continues with degraded @mention detection.

Solutions

1. Confirm the app has 'Robot' (bot) capability enabled in the Feishu console
2. Ensure the credentials belong to the bot app itself, not an unrelated custom app
3. Verify SDK version against current Feishu API docs for /bot/v3/info field names
4. Accept degraded mode (mention detection off) if the channel otherwise works

Example fix

null

null

func isEmptyOpenID(err error) bool {
	return err != nil && strings.Contains(err.Error(), "bot info: empty open_id")
}

err := fetchBotInfo(ctx)
if isEmptyOpenID(err) {
	// success envelope without bot identity: app likely lacks bot capability
	logger.Warn("app returned no bot open_id; enable Robot capability or accept degraded mention detection", "err", err)
	err = nil // degrade gracefully
}
return err

When it happens

Trigger: A 200/code-0 response whose bot object is missing or has open_id: null - e.g. an app type that has no bot identity (custom app without bot capability enabled), or an API/SDK version mismatch changing field casing.

Common situations: Bot capability not enabled for the app in Feishu Open Platform; querying with a store/management app token instead of a bot app; SDK drift renaming the JSON field.
