node-telegram-bot-api callback_query doesn't work

Question

I decided to try to write a bot in NodeJS, I got to the point of processing callback_query, but when I click on the inline keyboard, the bot does not catch this event.

Module version:

"node-telegram-bot-api": "^0.66.0"

import TelegramBot from "node-telegram-bot-api";
import { config } from "dotenv";
config()
const API_KEY_BOT = process.env.TOKEN;
const bot = new TelegramBot(API_KEY_BOT, { polling: true })
const gameOption = {
 reply_markup: {
 inline_keyboard: [
 [{text: '7', callback_data:'7'},{text: '8', callback_data:'8'},{text: '9', callback_data:'9'}],
 [{text: '4', callback_data:'4'},{text: '5', callback_data:'5'},{text: '6', callback_data:'6'}],
 [{text: '1', callback_data:'1'},{text: '2', callback_data:'2'},{text: '3', callback_data:'3'}],
 [{text: '0', callback_data:'0'}]
 ]
 }
}
function start() {
 const chats ={}
 bot.setMyCommands([
 { command: '/start', description: 'Running a bot' },
 { command: '/game', description: 'Game' }
 ])
 bot.on('message', async msg => {
 const text = msg.text;
 const chatId = msg.chat.id;
 
 if (text === '/start') {
 return await bot.sendMessage(chatId, `You wrote to me ${text}`)
 }
 if (text === '/game') {
 await bot.sendMessage(chatId, 'Now I will guess a number from 0-9')
 const randomNumber = Math.floor(Math.random()*10);
 chats[chatId] = randomNumber;
 console.log(gameOption);
 
 return await bot.sendMessage(chatId,"Guess", gameOption)
 }
 return await bot.sendMessage(chatId, 'I dont understand you')
 })
 bot.on('callback_query', function onCallbackQuery(callbackQuery) {
 console.log(callbackQuery);
 
 });
}
start()

I tried the same, and it's working fine.

 bot.on('callback_query', function onCallbackQuery(callbackQuery) {
 console.log(callbackQuery);
 bot.answerCallbackQuery(callbackQuery.id, {
 text: "It's working"
 })
 });

May be you should also try explicitly requesting callback_query by specifying it on the allowed_updates parameter in the bot constructor.

const bot = new TelegramBot(API_KEY_BOT, {
 polling: {
 params: {
 allowed_updates: ["message", "callback_query"], // any other update types
 }
 }
})

Another thing, I can suggest is that simply try revoking your Bot token and getting using a new one.

Hope this helps!
