Mark as Read button disappeared, Deleted messages not being saved #82

Closed FieryRMS closed 2 years ago

FieryRMS commented 2 years ago

With the new update and multi-device support becoming official, some of the features of the extension stopped working. The mark as read button disappeared and deleted messages are no longer being saved.

I also noticed the "save deleted messages" option was removed from the menu, does this mean the feature is no longer supported?

tomer8007 commented 2 years ago

I can still see the mark as read button, can you share a screenshot? And regarding the "save deleted messages" option, it will be back as soon as I finish re-implementing Signal message decryption.

FieryRMS commented 2 years ago

There is not much to see in the screenshot as its just completely gone. image

here are the logs as well, image

Glad to hear about the deleted messages option.

OK, I am aware that this happens in archived chats (#81). Is this by chance the case here?

FieryRMS commented 2 years ago

It happens with all chats, regardless of being archived or not, for both group and private chats. I am not sure what I did that caused it to happen, but it happened just after I updated WhatsappWeb.

  1. Does the console look like this right after the problem happens? I see no "Blocking RECEIPT action"
  2. If you refresh the page, is it still happening?
FieryRMS commented 2 years ago

I have gotten closer to figuring out the problem, I logged into whatsapp from incognito and the extension enabled and I got the mark as read button. Perhaps something from the previous version of whatsapp is messing with it? Is there a way to delete all data and cache from the site, but keep the deletedMsgs database?

  1. The problem happens from the beginning, as soon as I load the page and enter an unread chat, there is no button to be seen. It doesnt "disappear", there was no button to begin with.
  2. Yes. But this problem doesn't occur when I login from incognito.

Interesting finding, checking this now.

  1. I didn't mean the button, I was expecting to see WhatsIncognito: --- Blocking RECEIPT action! --- in the console log if it really did catch the receipt.

Also I would back up the deletedMsgs DB if it's important to you and just wipe all the site data with Chrome.

Hi, me being the dumb person that I am, clicked the 🚫 button in the console application view, thinking it was clear filter button, and deleted the database anyways and read in horror that it was the "clear object store" button 😃.

I cleared the "web.whatsapp.com" site data from "chrome://settings/content/all" and relogged into the site. It is now working as expected.

tomer8007 commented 2 years ago

But - How did this happen? Were you logged in to the non-beta and it just started appearing after you entered multi-deive? Or maybe you were already in multi-device and updated the version?

FieryRMS commented 2 years ago

I was in the non-beta not so multi version. I got the notification of current version becoming unsupported and clicked on the update button. Perhaps this transition wasn't so smooth as I got a blank screen a few times, and had to close and reopen the site until I got to the login page. Logged in to the multi-device version and saw the button missing.

Alright, thank you reporting the issue here. If you encounter it again or have more insights to it I'd like to hear that.
