I don't get this...

[0wwafa]

I installed the chrome driver.. then when I issued: bot = Whatsapp(silent=True, headless=False) The browser window opened. I went to web.whatsapp.com and linked the device with my phone. The page opened... and immediately after the program crashes as you see below.

Also: when I tried again, the browser did not remember the previous device and asked me again to link a device.

>>> from Whatsapp import Whatsapp
User data will be saved in: UserData
>>> bot = Whatsapp(silent=True, headless=False)

Did you get the same version of chrome driver as the system installed google chrome ?

hmm not sure.. I think I have the latest in both.. I'll check.. I thought the "driver" cotained a browser itself.
