Web WhatsApp Update: Many JS errors

[efjcz]

Hello community

I am using a selenium-hub system to work with whatsapp in one dedicated container and a lot of other resources as well in other containers.

A while ago the web interface showed an orange message saying we should update web interface or it would auto-update in X days. And now the time has come.

After update I tried to keep using firefox 3.141.59, but I got many exceptions on some basic tasks, like send message on chats. I didn't explore yet which features has been impacted. See some logs below:

Traceback (most recent call last):
...
File "webwhatsapi/wapi_js_wrapper.py", line 80, in _dir_
  result = self.driver.execute_script(
            "if (document.querySelector('*[data-icon=chat]') !== null) { return true } else { return false }"
             )  # noqa E501

I tried to change to chrome, but I couldn't make it work in Remote option, since I am using docker

Then I tried to use the version recommended by the author, 3.14-curium. And just after read the QR Code, the firefox re-open the QR Code page and ask to try it again because whatsapp could't sync the database with the browser.

Then I tried to use selenium/node-firefox-debug:3.141.59-20200730 and the browser crashes just after read the QR Code, and I see these logs below:

Is anyone else facing any kind of issues? Any idea or solution yet? I will keep trying other versions and try to find any clue with more logs.

Hi, Could you replace firefox by chrome? I have the same issue and it was fixed after I replace for chrome See #1144
