PR fix notes

PR #56302: fix(telegram): add devDependencies and peerDependencies for openclaw (#56219)

Description (problem / solution / changelog)

Fixes #56219

Problem

After upgrading to OpenClaw 2026.3.27, Telegram plugin fails to load with error:

TypeError: (0 , _directoryRuntime.createInspectedDirectoryEntriesLister) is not a function
Plugin source: /home/justin/openclaw/extensions/telegram/index.ts

Root Cause

The telegram plugin was missing devDependencies and peerDependencies declarations for openclaw.

According to repo guidelines:

Plugins: put openclaw in devDependencies or peerDependencies instead (runtime resolves openclaw/plugin-sdk via jiti alias).

Without these declarations, the plugin cannot properly resolve openclaw/plugin-sdk/* imports at runtime when installed via npm.

Comparison:

  • ✅ discord plugin has both devDependencies and peerDependencies
  • ❌ telegram plugin was missing both (removed in v2026.2.24)

Solution

Add devDependencies and peerDependencies to telegram plugin's package.json, matching the discord plugin configuration:

{
  "devDependencies": {
    "openclaw": "workspace:*"
  },
  "peerDependencies": {
    "openclaw": ">=2026.3.27"
  },
  "peerDependenciesMeta": {
    "openclaw": {
      "optional": true
    }
  }
}

Impact

  • ✅ Fixes #56219 - Telegram plugin load failure
  • ✅ Ensures proper runtime resolution of openclaw/plugin-sdk/* imports
  • ✅ Aligns telegram plugin with repo guidelines and other plugins (discord)
  • ✅ No breaking changes

Testing

  • Type check: ✅ Passed
  • Lint: ✅ Passed

extent analysis

Fix Plan

The fix involves updating the Telegram plugin to use the correct function from the directoryRuntime module.

  • Check the directoryRuntime module documentation for the correct function to use instead of createInspectedDirectoryEntriesLister.
  • Update the index.ts file in the Telegram plugin to use the new function.

Example code:

// Before
import { createInspectedDirectoryEntriesLister } from './directoryRuntime';
const lister = createInspectedDirectoryEntriesLister();

// After
import { createDirectoryEntriesLister } from './directoryRuntime';
const lister = createDirectoryEntriesLister();
  • If the createDirectoryEntriesLister function does not exist, you may need to create a custom implementation or use a different approach to achieve the same functionality.

Verification

To verify the fix, restart the gateway and check if the Telegram plugin loads successfully. You can also add logging statements to the index.ts file to confirm that the new function is being called correctly.

Extra Tips

  • Make sure to update the directoryRuntime module to the latest version to ensure you have the latest functions and features.
  • If you are using a custom implementation, consider contributing it back to the OpenClaw project to help others who may be facing the same issue.
