Mautrix-whatsapp not connecting to whatsapp

[julianuu]

Hi! Sometimes when I start mautrix-whatsapp, it doesn't connect to my whatsapp instance. I can't chat and running 'reconnect' tells me I would have to login first.

Might be that restarting mautrix-whatsapp fixed this sometimes, but currently it does not.

I have whatsapp running in an android-emulator on my computer (which also makes logging in again a bit cumbersome).

Log:

Are you on the latest revision? I had some similar problems last week and upgrading to 29f5ae45c4b22f463003b23e355b951831f08b3e helped :)

Actually no I am not. Unfortunately I can't really test until in a few weeks, but I'll try then, thanks!

Hello! I think this issue should be reopened, as I notice the same behavior also with the latest revision

This might be fixed with the latest commit that fixes some unexpected logout/session forget cases

Unfortunately the symptoms haven't changed a lot, i.e. I sometimes can't reconnect after restarting the pc that runs whatsapp (in an emulator). What has changed is the error message. After restarting the bridge it works again

I haven't had this problem anymore for a while now, so looks like its fixed.
