Service terminated

Ciao Giuseppe, I often find the component broken, and not just rebuilding it, I have to uninstall and reinstall. I don't know if it happens when maybe Ha reboots or anything.

I'm also still experiencing the add-on falling over and crashing. The watchdog service also dont restart it.

I receive an immediate crash on start-up:

exactly, even me the watchdog does not make it restart, even today the same error: at useFileAuthState (/utils/useFileAuthState.js:34:43)

Was this ever working for you? Do you recently update the add-in?

I am just surmising here as I can across a similar issue when trying to create a standalone container to be used with HA docker (so no add-in functionality). I am still determining what happened with this project, but after an update to this repo, rebuilding the image caused the container to fail to start similarly. I had to remove the persistent data folder (mapped to /data within the container) and rebuild. Therefore I had to re-add the WhatsApp client login. I don't know what would you do with the add-in, but I guess you would remove and re-install it?

@shevaxsempre and @ekkesa - please provide feedback if my comment has not resolved your issue.

Hi, Everything seems to be running more stable now - Thank you for all the effort, I will report if I see any strange behaviour.
