On 'ready' is not fired

[TheMacros]

Is there an existing issue for this?

• [x] I have searched the existing issues

Describe the bug

I'm trying to create a very basic app that handles incoming messages from WhatsApp.

The code generates a QR code successfully, but when I scan it with WhatsApp (link device) with an iOS or Android app nothing happens. The QR code is scanned successfully and the linked device (browser) appears on my mobile device. However, in the console, I didn't receive 'Client is ready!' message or any other message (like 'Client is authenticated!' or 'Client is auth_failure!') - absolutely nothing. When I disconnect the device I also don't receive the message 'Client is disconnected!'. Also, I have no exceptions.

Expected behavior

I'm expecting the on('ready') should fire when I scan the QR code and on('disconnected') should be fired when device is removed

Steps to Reproduce the Bug or Issue

There are no steps to reproduce.

Relevant Code

import waweb from "whatsapp-web.js";
import qrcode from 'qrcode-terminal';

const { Client, LocalAuth } = waweb;

const client = new Client({
    puppeteer: {
        args: [
            '--no-sandbox',
            '--disable-setuid-sandbox'
        ],
    }
});

client.on('qr', qr => {
    qrcode.generate(qr, {small: true});
});

client.on('ready', () => {
    console.log('Client is ready!');
});

client.on('disconnected', () => {
    console.log('Client is disconnected!');
});

client.on('authenticated', () => {
    console.log('Client is authenticated!');
});

client.on('auth_failure', () => {
    console.log('Client is auth_failure!');
});

client.initialize();

Browser Type

Chromium

WhatsApp Account Type

Standard

Does your WhatsApp account have multidevice enabled?

Yes, I am using Multi Device

Environment

OS: Ubuntu Linux 18.04 Phone: iOS or Android whatsapp-web.js: 1.22.1 WhatsApp Web version: 2.2335.9 Node: 16.15.1

Additional context

I have another app (that uses whatsapp-web) running on the same server. It works fine.

[TheMacros]

Just tested the same script with the same version (1.22.1) on macOS - the same result. If I run it with puppeteer.headless = false on macOS - I see that the authorization process is working in Chromium (so in the Chromium browser I see my account authorized), but still nothing I can see in the script output.

I've also tried the 1.22.2-alpha.0 - this version works fine! So I'll stay on the alpha for now. But the question is how the 1.22.1 is working on my other project.

same here with latest version

Replace in src/Client.js

const INTRO_IMG_SELECTOR = '[data-testid="intro-md-beta-logo-dark"], [data-testid="intro-md-beta-logo-light"], [data-asset-intro-image-light="true"], [data-asset-intro-image-dark="true"]';

to

const INTRO_IMG_SELECTOR = "[data-icon='chat']"

[thiagootero]

tbm quero saber como muda

Altere o arquivo package.json, alterando a versão do whatsapp web. Depois, rode o comando npm install

[areumtecnologia]

npm i whatsapp-web.js@1.22.2-alpha.0 --save

to

const INTRO_IMG_SELECTOR = "[data-icon='chat']"

I updated to version whatsapp-web.js@1.22.2-alpha.0

I changed the code :

const INTRO_IMG_SELECTOR = '[data-testid="intro-md-beta-logo-dark"], [data-testid="intro-md-beta-logo-light"], [data-asset-intro-image-light ="true"], [data-asset-intro-image-dark="true"]';

for

const INTRO_IMG_SELECTOR = '[data-icon='chat']';

It still didn't work, and now the QR code doesn't even appear for me to scan with my cell phone.

does anyone have any suggestions?

I'll keep looking to see if I find a solution.

Alright, in issue #2439 I found a comment from @joulgs about uninstalling whatsapp-web.js

npm unistall whatsapp-web.js -S

and then add it to the package.json file in the dependencies

"whatsapp-web.js": "https://github.com/Julzk/whatsapp-web.js/tarball/jkr_hotfix_8"

After changing just run the code

npm install

the client came back, it shows that whatsapp was connected but it gives an error

Error: Evaluation failed: Error: wid error: invalid wid

/workspaces/whatsapp-web.js/node_modules/puppeteer/lib/cjs/puppeteer/common/ExecutionContext.js:221 throw new Error('Evaluation failed: ' + helper_js_1.helper.getExceptionMessage(exceptionDetails));

does anyone have any suggestions?

I will keep looking for a solution.

I don't know what could have happened but apparently the authenticator was causing some conflict.

With me I used the following code for authentication :

const { Client, LocalAuth } = require('whatsapp-web.js'); const client = new Client({ authStrategy: new LocalAuth() });

I changed to :

const { Client } = require('whatsapp-web.js'); const client = new Client();

Now it's working perfectly, I don't know what could have caused the bug that was happening to me but when I removed the authenticator it started working normally again, all messages are being sent and the bot responds perfectly.

[granaber]

This soluction is change to version alpha, 1.22.1 Not working !

[SonuSubhadip]

1st npm uninstall whatsapp-web.js 2nd npm install whatsapp-web.js 3rd Goto > node_modules > whatsapp-web.js > src > client.js > Replace const INTRO_IMG_SELECTOR = '[data-testid="intro-md-beta-logo-dark"], [data-testid="intro-md-beta-logo-light"], [data-asset-intro-image-light="true"], [data-asset-intro-image-dark="true"]'; With const INTRO_IMG_SELECTOR = "[data-icon='chat']"; Enjoy ❤️

Substitua em src/Client.js

const INTRO_IMG_SELECTOR = '[data-testid="intro-md-beta-logo-dark"], [data-testid="intro-md-beta-logo-light"], [data-asset-intro-image-light ="true"], [data-asset-intro-image-dark="true"]';

pára

const INTRO_IMG_SELECTOR = "[data-icon='chat']"

Aqui resolveu, alterei dessa forma e alterei também o package pra Alpha.. Obrigado!!

[almacres10]

i still havent found the solution for this, i have try to change the script in Client.js and still the client ready doesnt show up. I have updated the package to whatsapp-web.js 1.22.2-alpha.0 and still doesnt worked. Any other solution?

You should either implement the fix the guys found out on this issue or wait for the release of a new patch version. For implementing the fix, you need to fork the repo and create a new one.

For instance, I will leave here my repo with the corresponding bugfix (working) in case any other want it until stable release come out: https://github.com/neckell/whatsapp-web.js This repo contains whatsapp-web.js@1.22.2-alpha.0 + the ready fix You can temporarily change your package json as follows:

"whatsapp-web.js": "github:neckell/whatsapp-web.js",

[leodutra]

This fix worked for me https://github.com/pedroslopez/whatsapp-web.js/pull/2485

[burakerenel]

This fix worked for me #2485

mine too

[fpiantoni]

The error is still happening, the new fix is: const INTRO_IMG_SELECTOR = '[data-icon='new-chat']';

On the Client.js file from the Package

[neckell]

@fpiantoni did you check on the repo i quoted? I am not quite sure about new-chat, i tested it and didn't work for me

[fpiantoni]

@neckell let me check it. I just found that in another reponse, tested it and worked. Let me pull your package and test it. I will keep you updated

[neckell]

I added a new state "Synced" that's fired when a syncronization between mobile phone and instance is complete. It's not official, it's up for my needs

[LucasMonteiroi]

This works for me, just updated the package version, this is my sample code:

const qrcode = require('qrcode-terminal');
const { Client, LocalAuth } = require('whatsapp-web.js');

const client = new Client({
  puppeteer: {
    args: ['--no-sandbox', '--disable-setuid-sandbox'],
  },
});

client.on('qr', (qr) => {
  qrcode.generate(qr, { small: true });
});

client.on('ready', () => {
  console.log('Client is ready!');
});

client.on('disconnected', () => {
  console.log('Client is disconnected!');
});

client.on('authenticated', () => {
  console.log('Client is authenticated!');
});

client.on('auth_failure', () => {
  console.log('Client is auth_failure!');
});

client.on('message', (msg) => {
  if (msg.body == '!ping') {
    msg.reply('pong');
  }
});

client.initialize();

[learntheropes]

@alechkos which is the commit of this fix?

[alechkos]

@learntheropes

npm i github:pedroslopez/whatsapp-web.js#main

[learntheropes]

@alechkos yes, but I can't find how this has been fixed on the repo.
