Issues sending images

[danielpmd]

Hello,

Sending text message is working great. The code below is ok:

npx mudslide send 0000000000000 "test"

However, I am having issues sending images. I tried the following command:

npx mudslide send-image 0000000000000 car.png

But at the receiver's WhatsApp the image was not received properly and user cannot open it (ckeck attached image).

Could you assist me on that?

Regards.

Hi @danielpmd

Sorry to hear Mudslide is not working as expected.

I've just tried this command:

npx mudslide@latest send-image me Screenshot\ 2024-05-07\ at\ 15.48.54.png

and the image shows fine for me.

Can you perhaps try it with a different image? Or different format, such as JPEG?

Hello,

I tried with a different image file and it worked properly! I tried with both .jpg and .png (both worked). Maybe the previous file was corrupted. Sorry for that, my bad.

Just a question, whats the difference running mudslide with:

• mudslide
• mudslide@latest
• npx mudslide
• npx mudslide@latest

??

Regards.

npx installs and runs a NodeJS package from https://npmjs.com. If you use the suffix @latest then npx will always check if there's a more recent version available, if you don't use that suffix a version from your cache is used.

There are also binaries released for every mudslide version that you can use, these are called mudslide.exe, mudslide-linuxstatic-x64 etc.

Hope this answers your questions.
