Description

I tried sending a message to a group message and was presented with the error below.

Keybase GUI Version: 1.0.18-20170223162556+af0e640

Error: no TLF name specified at t (file:///Applications/Keybase.app/Contents/Resources/app/desktop/dist/index.bundle.js:17:24269) at new t (file:///Applications/Keybase.app/Contents/Resources/app/desktop/dist/index.bundle.js:17:25090) at s (file:///Applications/Keybase.app/Contents/Resources/app/desktop/dist/index.bundle.js:17:24665) at i (file:///Applications/Keybase.app/Contents/Resources/app/desktop/dist/index.bundle.js:17:24593) at file:///Applications/Keybase.app/Contents/Resources/app/desktop/dist/index.bundle.js:12:22245 at file:///Applications/Keybase.app/Contents/Resources/app/desktop/dist/index.bundle.js:81:27307 at e.t.Deferrals.e._call (file:///Applications/Keybase.app/Contents/Resources/app/desktop/dist/index.bundle.js:42:29301) at file:///Applications/Keybase.app/Contents/Resources/app/desktop/dist/index.bundle.js:42:29452 at c (file:///Applications/Keybase.app/Contents/Resources/app/desktop/dist/index.bundle.js:42:29079) at e.t.Deferrals.e._fulfill (file:///Applications/Keybase.app/Contents/Resources/app/desktop/dist/index.bundle.js:42:29411)

Research direction

Start by reproducing the failure when sending a group message in Keybase GUI version 1.0.18. Inspect the reported entry point in desktop/dist/index.bundle.js and trace the “no TLF name specified” error; done means a group message sends successfully without that error.
