QR not returned as expected

[roysG]

I am trying to run your sample in ubuntu 18 with docker, i follow all the steps. I get the message "Waiting for qr" but i do not get any qr, i also tried to wait more than 1 minute.

I also connected to remote server with vnc and saw that the browser is loaded and see the qr, but none qr is returned.

Code:

root@docker-s-2vcpu-4gb-ams3-01:~/WebWhatsapp-Wrapper# docker run --network selenium -it -e SELENIUM='http://firefox:4444/wd/hub' -v $(pwd):/app webwhatsapi /bin/bash -c "pip install ./;pip list;python sample/remote.py"

You need to scan that QR with your phone by using the Whatsapp WEB option

same problem here

[gushome7]

"I also connected to remote server with vnc and saw that the browser is loaded and see the qr, but none qr is returned."

Two options: a) scan qr from whatsapp page (you can see with vnc as you say); b) use get_qr function to save qr code to file, need to pass file as parameter. Then you can scan png file but you need to open with background in white (could be a browser pointing to a local index.html with image inserted

[roysG]

can you give me the full example how to do it, it will also help others, thank you.

[roysG]

@gushome7 Also have to mention, i tried to scan the qr from the vnc window, but i it throw error and stopped
