The 'settings.cfg' file is missing or corrupt! #130

Hi,

Thanks for your great tool.

I want to have an HTML view of all my messages with media files included like with this great tool: https://github.com/GjjvdBurg/signal2html.

I successfully downloaded from Google Drive by using WhaGoDri. Because I'm rooted, I was able to get my cipher and wa.db from my Android. I successfully decrypted my msgstore db by using WhaCipher. Now I'm trying to generate an archive chat list and I have an issue when using WhaPa.

I click on that button: image

python3 /home/test/whatsapp-extractor/libs/whapa.py -i 3 -wa /home/test/whatsapp-extractor/my-backup/files/Databases/msgstore.db /home/test/whatsapp-extractor/my-backup/files/Databases/wa.db -r EN

Result

I don't understand why this file is missing because when I click on the setting button from the app, it opens and I can edit it.

For info, I'm on Linux: Linux linux-laptop 5.8.0-59-generic #66-Ubuntu SMP Thu Jun 17 00:46:01 UTC 2021 x86_64 x86_64 x86_64 GNU/Linux

Distributor ID: Ubuntu
Description:    Ubuntu 20.10
Release:    20.10
Codename:   groovy

I installed the app under a virtual env python3

Thanks a lot!

It may be a bug of the last update that worked with partial paths and now they are full ones, I will check it and let you know.

Give a try the latest version 1.55

floviolleau commented 3 years ago

Works very fine.

Thanks for the quick fix.

Take care

Shows this Error:

$ python whapa-gui.py Traceback (most recent call last): File "whapa-gui.py", line 1444, in with open(cfg_file, 'w') as cfg: FileNotFoundError: [Errno 2] No such file or directory: '\cygdrive\c\Users\Lavern\Downloads\Master\whapa-master\cfg\settings.cfg'

How do I fix it?

ok, could you tell me how to get the file please

floviolleau commented 3 years ago

Hi,

I don't understand what you mean. You don't "get" the file. It is part of the repo in cfg folder.

B16f00t commented 3 years ago

I deleted the setting file because the program generated it at startup, so that there are no problems I have included it again.
