Hey, I have a Problem with theses kinds of messages in a group chat using the demo client.

Can someone tell me how to avoid theses?

Update: About 50% of all messages are not displayed correctly.

Thx Jockel

Don't delete your axolotl.db, keep updated recipient keys and don't ignore retry acks.

thejockel commented 7 years ago

Hey thanks for your replay. I am using the yowsup-cli demos client and do not delete the axolotl.db.

I'll describe an unmanaged situation:

You (yowsup) get recipient (official) keys
recipient reinstalls and so, his keys change
you send a message with old keys
you get simple check
you get ack retry instead of double check due to decrypt error
axolotl layer doesn't have the original message (this layer doesn't have any persistence) so retry is sent to upper layers.
by default, the client layer just prints the issue but no action is taken. This happends 4-5 times and then the reported err message appears in the recipient side.

Solution: implement persistence a management I the axolotl layer.

Hi,

I earlier had whatsapp installed on my phone, using the SIM with number 91xxxxxx. Then i changed my sim so i uninstalled and installed whatasapp and registered it on the same phone, with the new number. Now since i am no longer using the old sim, i have registered rpi3 with that number (91xxxxx).

I am using the below command to connect, where mydetail is my config file.

yowsup-cli demos --yowsup --config mydetail

i am able to login using /L to login and send message using the command shown below. But on my recipient phone (49xxxx), i get the "waiting for this message" - happens to each message i send.

/message send 49xxxxxx "yo wassup?" [connected]: Sent: 1475937229-7

Is there a solution for this?

Regards, Sid

hi jlguardi,

Referring your 2nd october comments, how do i actually do this on the yowsup-cli program?.

zuhannes commented 7 years ago

I just want to update i solve my problem of waiting for my message on yowsup-cli by supplying -m on command line. Now every message with yowsup-cli reach the chat group without error

atimothee commented 7 years ago

he's how i solved my problem, i put the bot number in a physical device, and logged into whatsapp, then i removed it, and started a new bot on a different server.

I have this problem too.

Everything is working fine until an new group member is invited.

I´ve implemented

jids = [self.aliasToJid(phone) for phone in phone.split(',')]
entity = GetKeysIqProtocolEntity(jids)
self.toLower(entity)

but this don´t work.

How I implement fetching the new group key(s) before sending a message to the group?

LabtronicsDesign commented 6 years ago
