[jonalan7]

Which function is giving this error? Could you give more details of your problem?

[ghifar1]

@jonalan7 in my cases is sendImage and sendImageFromBase64

[textarea]

Sorry, I don't have now more details, It could be in sendImageFromBase64 also for me

[PedroBorba]

@textarea I have found the problem. in my case, i tried to use the sendImageFromBase64 ... if you inspect that method, you will see the method Promises a SendFileResult that it's a interface requiring the filename parameter.

Solution: is just pass a filename parameter to the sendImageFromBase64 or sendImage.

I will put my solution here:

  let image = '<base64_image>';
  let filename = '<filename>';
    client.sendImageFromBase64('<your_number>@c.us', image, filename).then(result => {
        console.log("Image Sended!")
    }).catch(err => {
        console.log("Something goes wrong ...")
        console.log(err)
    })
