After updating to the latest purple-gowhatsapp, pidgin suddenly freezes and crashes, I ran pidgin from terminal and the following is the output of the crash

` panic: runtime error: invalid memory address or nil pointer dereference [signal SIGSEGV: segmentation violation code=0x1 addr=0x1c8 pc=0x7ff93f8c46ee]

goroutine 17 [running, locked to thread]: main.gowhatsapp_go_query_group_participants(0x55596da4f380, 0xc000006601?) `

Thank you for the report. It looks like me being lazy finally catches up to me as seen in these TODOs. I want to look into it tonight. Did you build from the default branch whatsmeow or tag v1.8.0?

samtrek commented 1 year ago

Default branch, it seems to be because it is automatically updated by my package manager (Archlinux, AUR).

Feel free to try again with a1fdc38. The issue probably won't be resolved, but we should get more debug information.

samtrek commented 1 year ago

I have updated to a1fdc38 and it seems as if it is somehow stable for now, have not observed any crahses so far, so should the issue be closed?

hoehermann commented 1 year ago

Yes. In case the problem arises again, just re-open this issue. :)

Side-note: This can only happen if the plug-in tries to get information on a group without knowing the group ID. This should not be happening in the first place.
