setGroupIconByUrl not working

[roysG]

I checked, i got error: "Failed to update group icon,Please try again later"

code: await client.setGroupIconByUrl('972559661703-1587456110@g.us', 'https://res.cloudinary.com/picktags-com/image/upload/v1587297034/unnamed_3_vbkodw.png');

i also tried:

await client.setGroupIconByUrl('972559661703_1587456110@g.us', 'https://res.cloudinary.com/picktags-com/image/upload/v1587297034/unnamed_3_vbkodw.png');

WhatsApp does not accept pngs. Use a jpeg. @roysG

Also, the icon has to be very small otherwise it won't work.

I also tried now with this image:

@roysG In the latest version 1.8.74, it now converts the image on to the correct size and format so your pngs and large jpegs should work now as long as sharp works on your system.

Tested to be working:

//large jpeg
 await client.setGroupIconByUrl("447777777777-1579189596@g.us", "https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/1/16/HDRI_Sample_Scene_Balls_%28JPEG-HDR%29.jpg");

//and with png
 await client.setGroupIconByUrl("447777777777-1579189596@g.us", "https://res.cloudinary.com/picktags-com/image/upload/v1587297034/unnamed_3_vbkodw.png'");

Let me know if this worked for you. Thanks

AWSOME!, Is there any option to get the chat but also to simulate it as i clicked it in ui?

[smashah]

@roysG there are no plans for a UI layer on this repo.
