mudslide cannot send message

[Goran53nja]

Hi @robvanderleek

After a few successful messages mudslide stopped sending messages. I logged out and logged in several times, but without success. The device is visible in connected devices on Android.

How to find the cause of the problem ?

Attached is a screenshot of the unsuccessful sending.

Thank you !

Best regards

Goran

Hi @Goran53nja

Sorry to hear, can you try again with the latest version? npx mudslide@latest

Hi @Goran53nja

I just tested the logout/login procedure and for me it still works with the latest version of Mudslide. Perhaps you can test it from a different machine?

To be sure there's no stale cache data you can also manually clean the cache folder that's reported when you run npx mudslide@latest me Also, you can run the send command with the -vvv flag, that will generate a lot of debug messages that could indicate where it goes wrong: npx mudslide@latest -vvv send me 'Hello world'

If the problem is related to the Baileys library that Mudslide is based upon, or related to your WA account, I'm afraid I can't help you any further.

Hi @robvanderleek

I just tested the logout/login procedure and for me it still works with the latest version of Mudslide.

Login and logout works for me and the Android device sees an active connected device. Different machine I can try later.

To be sure there's no stale cache data you can also manually clean the cache folder that's reported when you run npx mudslide@latest me Also, you can run the send command with the -vvv flag, that will generate a lot of debug messages that could indicate where it goes wrong: npx mudslide@latest -vvv send me 'Hello world'

Here I copy the command output there are no any debug messages:

it's possible a hardware problem, I'll see when I try another machine

[robvanderleek]

I also think it's best to first try it on a different machine.

Note that the cache folder from Mudslide is not inside the .npm folder. You can see what location Mudslide uses by running npx mudslide@latest me.
