`getInviteCode` method is not working on 2.3000.xx

[khsoh]

Is there an existing issue for this?

• [X] I have searched the existing issues

Describe the bug

My code has been working for a long time and then stopped working about 1 day ago. I found that the getInviteCode() method for GroupChat is not working - even though the bot is an admin of the chat group (I know that this method should only be called if the bot is part of the chat group)``

Expected behavior

I expected the invite code to be returned when this method is called.

Steps to Reproduce the Bug or Issue

1. Get group chats that this bot belongs to
2. call getInviteCode of chats where bot is admin of group

Relevant Code

let chats = await client.getChats();
chats = chats.filter(c => c.isGroup && !c.groupMetadata.isParentGroup && !c.groupMetadata.announce);
for (const chat of chats) {
  // get participant info of this bot for this chat
  let pid = chat.participants.find(p => p.id._serialized == client.info.wid._serialized);
  if (pid.isAdmin) {
    // Only print invite code if bot is admin of this group
    let inviteCode = await chat.getInviteCode();
    console.log(`Invite code: ${inviteCode}`);
  }
}

I'm experiencing the same issue with version 2.3000.xx and webpack-exodus.

Was the WWJ project abandoned? In the last update last year, we have many instance disconnection errors, even with the corrections proposed by the collaborators.

I've already used npm install github:

pedroslopez/whatsapp-web.js#webpack-exodus

but it didn't work for me, the client connects to the instance and is then disconnected! What worked at first was:

webVersionCache: { type: 'remote', remotePath: 'https://raw.githubusercontent.com/wppconnect-team/wa-version/main/html/2.2409.0.html', }

but it works for a few days and then I get the error stated above, so I need to clear wwebjs_auth and read the qrcode again. Can anyone help me with a way to fix this? May it be an efficient solution if possible? Thanks

"whatsapp-web.js": "^1.23.0"
