bot crashing and token saving

[SukhOberoi]

the bot crashes quite often and whenever i restart the bot it asks for the token everytime and i have to kick the bot and readd it to the server for it to work. should i send the log file here? (im kinda a noob to this stuff btw)

Go version is no longer supported. JS version is stable at the moment. @SukhSinghOberoi are you also using the Go version?

No. I'm on the latest release (windows). Can't send logs rn. On a vacation and don't have access to my server outside local network

[FKLC]

@SukhSinghOberoi okay np. You can upload here, though I suggest checking for possible private info in logs before uploading.

[Z0MBlI]

[FKLC]

Could you send logs?

so I deleted all apps in Discord Developers, and all bots. Created a new App, new Bot token, and deleted all previous channels in Discord created by GO version. Ran into AUTH immediate problems as you can see trying to validate the token. No messages in discord, no new channels created after scanning the QR code in WA.

This was by running the WADC-macOS build with no previous database.

I previously managed to get this all working a few weeks back, but it was throwing so many errors and crashing frequently so I went back to the GO version which works flawlessly everytime. I also attached the debugger in VSCode and found exceptions thrown after I had got it working, here is one minor fix (as an example) which I committed to my own branch, but I dont have permissions to submit a PR. in discord_manager.js line 59 quotedMessage can be null, not sure why..

    if (message.contextInfo.isForwarded) {
        content += `> Forwarded Message:\n${message.text}`;
    }
    else if (message.contextInfo.quotedMessage) {
        content += `> ${quotedName}: ${message.contextInfo.quotedMessage.conversation.split('\n').join('\n> ')}\n${message.text}`;
    }
    break;

[spookycookie27]

OK I have got it running again on JS version, and Ill post errors/logs

[spookycookie27]

Excellent, thanks for applying my fix. I will post more exceptions as they arise.

For anyone having problems trying to authorise the bot follow this guide.

1. Delete all the previously created WA channels from Discord including Controlroom.
2. Delete the old bot & token by deleting the Application in Discord Developers
3. Create a new App and Bot token in Discord Devlopers portal (store the token in a text file for ref or leave the web page open)
4. In WA, delete any previously saved linked-devices
5. Start with an empty folder, place the app file in there.
6. If running macOS or Linux version give permissions to the file chmod +x WA2DC-linux . On Mac you should right click and open the file. This applies permissions to run the file (from non-trusted developer) and close again.
7. Run the executable ./WA2DC-linux from a terminal. If running PC I think its simple double click on .exe,
8. Authorise the token, follow its instructions in terminal
9. Look for the QR code in the control room and scan it with WhatsApp in settings / devices

@Z0MBlI I checked your logs but unfortunately v0.6.7 doesn't log errors before exit. I pushed a new version and it catches errors before exit. So please run with that version and report back here. I deleted the original comment you made because it included your phone number.

[Z0MBlI]

thx would it be possible for the bot to save the data so that it can find its way back to where it was after a restart? i run it on my pc

[FKLC]

This is normally the case, but when the bot crashes it can't save, and since the bot fails on the first run, it can't save your token info etc. causing you to enter it everytime. If it works for a moment, then run the bot enter your token invite it and then hit control + c to initiate saving the state of the bot before exit.

[Z0MBlI]

oh nice thx for help it works

[Z0MBlI]

log.txt can you fix the errors?

I have the problem when I restart the bot that all the messages are deleted in the discord and whatsapp groups don't work properly either

[FKLC]

@Z0MBlI now the bot saves the state no matter the exit reason. it shouldn't reset everything now.
