sanitization error if no session name is specified

[gekkedev]

Description

Specifying no session name during client creation causes a crash although the documentation suggests it is optional, especially in the minimal 4 line + 1 import example: https://wppconnect.io/docs/tutorial/basics/creating-client

Environment

• WPPConnect version(s): 1.30.3
• WA-JS version(s): 3.3.0
• Browser: chrome-launcher@^0.15.2 / chromium-bidi@0.5.19
• OS: Windows 11
• Node version: v18.17.1
• WhatsApp version: 2.2411.x
• MultiDevice (BETA): no?

Steps to Reproduce

1. Use the example code but do not specify a session name
2. Observe being unable to start it

Your Code

// Supports ES6
// import { create, Whatsapp } from '@wppconnect-team/wppconnect';
const wppconnect = require('@wppconnect-team/wppconnect');

wppconnect
  .create({
    session: 'sessionName', //Pass the name of the client you want to start the bot
    catchQR: (base64Qrimg, asciiQR, attempts, urlCode) => {
      console.log('Number of attempts to read the qrcode: ', attempts);
      console.log('Terminal qrcode: ', asciiQR);
      console.log('base64 image string qrcode: ', base64Qrimg);
      console.log('urlCode (data-ref): ', urlCode);
    },
    statusFind: (statusSession, session) => {
      console.log('Status Session: ', statusSession);
      console.log('Session name: ', session);
    },
    statusFind: (statusSession, session) => {
      console.log('Status Session: ', statusSession);
      console.log('Session name: ', session);
    }
  })
  .then((client) => start(client))
  .catch((error) => console.log(error));

Adding this to the client creation config resolves it:

    session: 'sessionName', //Pass the name of the client you want to start the bot
