2 years ago read here this will help you to save the session and explain how it work in multi device https://wwebjs.dev/guide/authentication.html#noauth-strategy and there is new update for whatsapp and in this update leaving the multi device is not allowed so henceforth all the session will save using Local Auth so check the update and the code will work
also LocalAuth is created for multi device and you are not using it so you should use LegacySessionAuth rather than it

Is there an existing issue for this?
Describe the bug
Im using a whatsapp No Business acount, program didn't take the default path, it was necessary add it here on client param.
authStrategy: new LocalAuth({ dataPath: './.wwebjs_auth/session' })
this was added because client created another session everytime the project runs instead to take created session at first run.
Whereas using Whatsappp Business acount, client take directly default path. it's not necesary to add parameter: "dataPath".
If I added on this case the parameter dataPath, client created another folder called session and inside of this folder created another session folder with session data. Client never used session created because it can't found on this path.
Hope this help somebody. Thanks.
Expected behavior
As user I expected to use LocalAuth without parameters and client could find and use default dataPath "./.wwebjs_auth/session"
Using whatsapp Business and whatsapp not Business.
Steps to Reproduce the Bug or Issue
Case 1: Use a Whatsapp Business acount. Use authStrategy: new LocalAuth({ dataPath: './.wwebjs_auth/session' }) On client Error, client create another session folder on project and auth data is on ./.wwebjs_auth/session/session instead of ./.wwebjs_auth/session
Case 2: Use a Whatsapp NOT Business acount. Use authStrategy: new LocalAuth() On client Session created succefull first run Error, on nexts runs client don't found session data and generate another QR code.
