[Kuroosh]

• [X] I have checked and am using the latest version of the library.

What type of session are you experiencing this issue on?

Legacy (Normal)

What type of host account are you experiencing this issue on?

Business account

Mode

My own code

Current Behavior

When i start the bot.. nothing happens.. but if i write a message in the Group.. it instantly calls onGlobalParticipantsChanged all the time.

Expected Behavior

it should not spam onGlobalParticipantsChanged event as soon someone write something..

it calls it btw with the groupChangeEvent.add... it never calls the remove action .. idk why.

Steps To Reproduce

wa.create({
    sessionId: 'VENOX_BOT',
    multiDevice: true, //required to enable multiDevice support
    authTimeout: 60, //wait only 60 seconds to get a connection with the host account device
    blockCrashLogs: true,
    disableSpins: true,
    headless: true,
    hostNotificationLang: wa.NotificationLanguage.DEDE,
    logConsole: false,
    popup: true,
    qrTimeout: 0, //0 means it will wait forever for you to scan the qr code
}).then(client => {
    SOVIET = client;
    setTimeout(() => onStart(), 250);
});
async function onStart() {
    try {
        console.log(color(figlet.textSync('SOVIET BOT', 'Larry 3D'), chalk.cyan));

        loadDatabaseTables();

        SOVIET.onMessage(message => onMessage(message));

        SOVIET.onGlobalParticipantsChanged(async (event: ParticipantChangedEventModel) => {
            switch (event.action) {
                case groupChangeEvent.add:
                    return await onParticipantJoinGroup(event);
                case groupChangeEvent.remove:
                    return await onParticipantLeaveGroup(event);
            }
        });
    } catch (exception) {
        console.log(exception);
    }
}

create() code

`already on top.`

Same here, every first group message after a restart emits onGloblalParticipantsChanged for every member in group.

@danilocodes first group message after a restart

Ok so you start a session, a message comes in for that group, and then it participant change events for all members?

This is probably because the group metadata is being lazy loaded into the session.

Try waitForRipeSession: true and see if it improves the situation.

The solution to this would be to map over all groups and get the metadata before registering the listener

This works perfectly, it took a bit longer to load with this but it's ok as long as it's stable THANKS!

[Kuroosh]

Works fine, thanks <3 ♥
