Can we me have method to fetch all unread chat usernames ? #70

Closed Kalebu closed 2 years ago

Kalebu commented 2 years ago

I am just thinking out loud that can we have a method to fetch all unread chat usernames, This will be very useful when it comes to creating auto-response functionality @euriconicacio

euriconicacio commented 2 years ago

Absolutely! Working on it as 1st priority, it may be delivered by tomorrow. We'll basically iterate through chats adapting search_chat_by_name and use check_if_given_chat_has_unread_messages on them. 🙃

@Kalebu, I just created fetch_all_unread_chats and pushed it into main. Please, lmk if you find any issues, it works nicely here, given a couple of natural limitations for a large number of chats (500+) - adding the possibility to limit it was a plus! Closing this, but feel free to open another one if you feel like doing it.

Hi @euriconicacio

I just tried the fetch_all_unread_chats method but it s throwing up an error as shown in the snippet below, can you please have a close look at what might be causing this. 

>>> messenger.fetch_all_unread_chats(limit=True, top=5)
2022-06-18 15:19:27,979 - root -- [ERROR] >> Exception raised while getting first chat: Message: element not interactable
  (Session info: chrome=96.0.4664.45)

Thank you : @euriconicacio

euriconicacio commented 2 years ago

Absolutely weird. It appears that somehow the element is interactible to me and not to you - that probably happens when sending the PAGE_DOWN key to the div; I'd have to check this abnormal behavior. 🤔

euriconicacio commented 2 years ago

Just confirmed, @Kalebu: can't reproduce it here (suppressed phone numbers and chats/groups names) and I'm using messenger.fetch_all_unread_chats(limit=True, top=30) at the same script I showed you:

I'll investigate under which circumstances an element could be interactable for one user and not for another.

Btw, I see you're using Chrome Version 96.0.4664.45 and I'm using Chrome Version 102.0.5005.115 (Official Build) (x86_64). Could you try to update that and retry, please, @Kalebu?

I mean, not ideal to deliver functionality to the most updated version of a browser, but it would point to a solution path and we could add a disclaimer to the code.

Edit: added a temporary disclaimer to the README and to the init.
