get_unread_messages_in_chat is broken

[darkash]

I was trying to give an alternative to #76 by using this function to load the messages by chat room, but the function will raise an exception when there is/are unread message(s). Upon inspecting it further, the function getUnreadMessagesInChat in wapi.js is returning an array of promises and hence when pyFunc try resolve the promise, it does not resolve all the promise members (at least from my understanding) and selenium read it as an array empty objects causing factory_message to fail mapping it to python objects.

The concept script in question

chats = driver.wapi_functions.getAllChatsWithNewMsg()
if chats and len(chats) > 0:
    for chat in chats:
        chat_id = chat['id']
        messages = driver.get_unread_messages_in_chat(chat_id) # this will error on factory_message
        for msg in messages:
            print(message.content)
