I am trying to invite a user to a group call. I am always getting this error. I have tried different ID’s, different apps & scenarios. I am unable to debug any other way.

I am using “sendbird-calls”: “^1.10.9”,

Steps to reproduce:

  1. Create/Enter room with a user.
    1.a)
    I am using this repo for FE quickstart-calls-reactjs/sample-01 at main · sendbird/quickstart-calls-reactjs · GitHub
    The room interface does not have the sendInvitation method, but you can add that to statefyRoom in statefy.tsx.
  2. Create/Enter a room with another user.
  3. Try to send an invitation to the user created in step 1. Or any other sendbird user.
    3.a)
    According to the docs I am calling the method as follows: await room.sendInvitation(userID).

The error I am getting:
TypeError: Cannot read properties of undefined (reading ‘sender’)

Hello, Arbnor_Lumezi. I’m Junyoung from the JavaScript Calls SDK team.

Your overall approach to implementing the invitation feature looks correct. Can you share the implementation that you added to the sample? I can help with the troubleshooting.

Thank you.

Hi @Junyoung_Lim. Thanks for the reply here is a fork you can use to test:

When on a group call, open the participant sidebar, you will see an “Invite” test button.
It will make a invitation to a userId which you need to edit in GroupCall.tsx file.

Thank you!

Found a solution, looks like the proper way to add the method to statefyRoom is this:

    sendInvitation(invitee: string) {
      return room.sendInvitation(invitee).then((data) => {
        updateRoom();
        return data;
      });
    },

I am not sure I understand it completely, but this does not work:

    sendInvitation: room.sendInvitation,
