Why have this error ?
I have launch command ./matterbridge -conf matterbridge.toml

[fabio841]

solve incredible need update go!!!!!!
First check version. send command
go version
if is old need update.

command is
sudo snap install go --classic

if not work or have other bersion need remove before
use:
sudo apt-get purge golang-go
sudo apt-get autoremove
$ rm -rf /usr/lib/go
$ rm -rf /usr/lib/go-1.13
$ rm -rf /usr/share/go
$ rm -rf /usr/share/go-1.13
git clone https://github.com/udhos/update-golang
cd update-golang
sudo ./update-golang.sh

restart ubuntu
now verify if version is update by command "go version"

later send command:
sudo CGO_ENABLED=0 go install -tags nomsteams,whatsappmulti,nozulip github.com/42wim/matterbridge@master

if continue have problem with go module (go: command not found) need add this line in 2 file:
profile and bash.bashrc:

write in terminal:
sudo nano /etc/profile
and add in bottom line
export PATH=$PATH:/usr/local/go/bin
CTRL+X save
later
sudo nano /etc/bash.bashrc
and add in bottom line
export PATH=$PATH:/usr/local/go/bin
CTRL+X save

now reboot: sudo reboot
send command:
sudo CGO_ENABLED=0 go install -tags whatsappmulti github.com/42wim/matterbridge@master
enter in folder home/go/bin

start command:
./matterbridge -debug -conf matterbridge.toml

QR CODE IS OK!!!!!

Have restart linux ? send sudo reboot command
Try use this format into matterbridge.toml (change XXXXXXXXX with your data)

[telegram.mytelegram]
Token="XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX"
#Create new TG bot and put the API token above.

RemoteNickFormat="<{NICK}> "
MessageFormat="HTMLNick >"

[whatsapp.mywhatsapp]
Number="+XXXXXXXX" #insert mobile number in IDC format
SessionFile="session-XXXXXXX.gob" ###insert mobile number in IDC format
QrOnWhiteTerminal=false

[[gateway]]
name="gateway1"
enable=true

[[gateway.inout]]
account="whatsapp.mywhatsapp"
channel="XXXXXXXXXXXXX@g.us"
###Essentially this is the 'ChatID' equivalent to TG. To obtain it is a little convoluted. Follow the steps from the video below
###https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=W-VXISoKtNc

[[gateway.inout]]
account="telegram.mytelegram"
channel="-XXXXXXXXXXXX" #TG Group Chat ID. You will need to create a new Group Chat, assign the TG BOT created above to it and make it an admin of that group too.

Can confirm what @mujeebcpy experienced. I built the app with updated go as well, but got the same errors as described.

I'm bridging whatsapp to matrix, and at first sight it looks like whatsmeow has to be updated.

[paxaman]

same problem here. go update not solved the problem

[Client/Socket ERROR] Error reading from websocket: websocket: close 1006 (abnormal closure): unexpected EOF

[fabio841]

first restart, send:

$sudo reboot
later
check version.
send command:
$ go version
If no have 1.23 there is a problem

[Vetgans]

If no have 1.23 there is a problem

I did exactly as you told, used version 1.23.0, to no success.

[IntGrah]

I guess this is a dirty fix, the actual solution would be to bump the whatsmeow version. If you need a working binary asap, just clone my fork, and run go install -tags whatsappmulti,nomsteams,nozulip

[Vetgans]

Thanks for your effort! But a problem with the path occurs:

go install -tags nomsteams,nozulip,whatsappmulti github.com/IntGrah/matterbridge@master
go: downloading github.com/IntGrah/matterbridge v0.0.0-20240823131055-5a0dade4652c
go: github.com/IntGrah/matterbridge@master: version constraints conflict:

but was required as: github.com/IntGrah/matterbridge

Maybe you could change that as well?

go install -tags <tags> <remote repo> doesn't seem to work with forks. You have to clone the repo first, and then run go install -tags <tags> without any additional args. Hope this helps.

My bad, I was messing around with changing the module name. It should work now.

And it does!! Many thanks for your efforts. 👍

Its working now, thank you :)

[mujeebcpy]

@fabio841 Happy to see you are suggesting to view a video made by me 😄 ibcomputing is my channel and i made that tutorial

[fabio841]

thanks @mujeebcpy
Guys, if you have any concerns, the possibility of forwarding messages between a WhatsApp channel instead of a group should be implemented. In this regard, if it can be useful, I found this interesting discussion which allows you to extract the channel JID: WhiskeySockets/Baileys#549

essentially the channel has an ID that can be easily searched via developer console and WhatsApp web and ends with @newslatter.

Do you think this feature could be added? This would make it possible to use a channel instead of a group. I tried replacing the "TG Group Chat ID" of the group that ends in @g.us with ID @newslatter in the matterbridge.toml file but it doesn't work.

[mujeebcpy]

@fabio841 ya. sending to channel is must now. i manage telegram channel so if i can use matterbridge to update my whatsapp channel in realtime it will be excellent.

[fabio841]

only @42wim can help

[Draganis]

I have the exact same problem using Windows with go 1.23
Is there any solution by now?

[IntGrah]

I have the exact same problem using Windows with go 1.23

My fork has a temporary fix. Clone it and then run go install -tags whatsappmulti in the directory

[Draganis]

Thank you. It works now...

[fabio841]

@IntGrah you think it's possible adding feature for bridge channel ? (no group) I tried replacing the "TG Group Chat ID" of the group that ends in @g.us with ID @newslatter in the matterbridge.toml file but it doesn't work.

[fabio841]

it's possible usa https://github.com/pedroslopez/whatsapp-web.js for adding bridge with channel instead whatsmeow ?

[42wim]

Fixed in master now
