How to make client.getMessages() work

[alexferra]

Hello,

how does client.getMessages() work ?

Im able to send messages but not open a certain chat and get messages. how can I get the chatID for a specific user? How to get the chatid by having the userId and then getting all messages from them?

thank you in advance

userId or chatid is same -> [number]@c.us or user number only and will fix it

user_number = "2010******"
messages =  client.getMessages(user_number )

@3mora2 I get this error. The same number works to send message to, but I can't getMessages, I can also get unread messages successfully

the client.getMessages(user_number ) returns this error

It's not error, it was async method but i update it, so update lib by use pip install git+https://github.com/3mora2/WPP_Whatsapp

@3mora2 I tried calling with await and also updating but still getting same error. Also tried other get messages methods and similar issue.

I try get_messages now and it work fine post full error

[alexferra]

if I use await I get:

File "C:\Users\Alefe\AppData\Roaming\Python\Python311\site-packages\WPP_Whatsapp\api\layers\HostLayer.py", line 108, in self.page.on('close', lambda: self.clearInterval(self.checkStartInterval)) ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ AttributeError: 'Whatsapp' object has no attribute 'checkStartInterval'

If I use 1.5.1, I get the same issue I initially posted.

@3mora2 can you push the change to a new package ?
