Describe the bug

im trying to integrate chatgpt into whatsapp. When a user revokes their message in the middle of processing the reply, the application crashes with this error

home/joysky/ayanaboat/node_modules/whatsapp-web.js/node_modules/puppeteer-core/lib/cjs/puppeteer/common/ExecutionContext.js:229 throw new Error('Evaluation failed: ' + (0, util_js_1.getExceptionMessage)(exceptionDetails)); ^

Error: Evaluation failed: TypeError: Cannot read properties of undefined (reading 'unsafe') at window.WWebJS.sendMessage (pptr://puppeteer_evaluation_script:38:67) at pptr://puppeteer_evaluation_script:10:45 at ExecutionContext._ExecutionContext_evaluate (/home/joysky/ayanaboat/node_modules/whatsapp-web.js/node_modules/puppeteer-core/src/common/ExecutionContext.ts:294:13) at processTicksAndRejections (node:internal/process/task_queues:95:5) at ExecutionContext.evaluate (/home/joysky/ayanaboat/node_modules/whatsapp-web.js/node_modules/puppeteer-core/src/common/ExecutionContext.ts:137:12) at Client.sendMessage (/home/joysky/ayanaboat/node_modules/whatsapp-web.js/src/Client.js:938:28)

Node.js v18.17.1 error: script "start" exited with code 1 (SIGHUP)

i already tried to wrap the message.reply into try catch statement. its still crash. i also tried to print the message.rawData after the chatgpt finished proceesing the response and the user message is revoked. the message.type still returned chat, not revoked

Expected behavior

The application should not crash when a user revokes their message. Ideally, the library should provide a way to check if a message has been revoked in the middle of processing the replies before trying to reply to it.

Steps to Reproduce the Bug or Issue

1. User sends a message
2. Application receives the message and prepares to reply. this takes time
3. Before the application can reply, the user revokes their message
4. The application crashes with the error TypeError: Cannot read properties of undefined (reading 'unsafe')

Relevant Code

// WhatsApp message
client.on(Events.MESSAGE_RECEIVED, async (message: any) => {
    const gptResponse = await chatgpt.ask(message.body) // this process takes time
    message.reply(gptResponse); // the error occurs here
});

Wrap it in try...catch

[PGRjoystick]

Wrap it in try...catch

as i said before :

i already tried to wrap the message.reply into try catch statement. its still crash. i also tried to print the message.rawData after the chatgpt finished proceesing the response and the user message is revoked. the message.type still returned chat, not revoked

i already tried this in a try...catch statement. its still crash. please re-open this issue. im still having this problem.

the only workaround im using was sending the message using client.sendMessage method. but this method does not quoting the original user message

what i asking is, is there's a way to provide a status check if the message is already revoked by the user in the middle of trying to reply the message, rather than crash away.

Hi, I have the same problem when I include options into sendMessage method:

let options = { quotedMessageId: quoted }; await client.sendMessage(phone, message, options);

Error: Evaluation failed: TypeError: Cannot read properties of undefined (reading 'unsafe')

Please check this fix in order to send reply without error: #3108

This working for me.
