[BUG] "stream errored out" while reading QR or just suddenly!

[iosahil]

When trying to create a session using:

const {state, saveCred} = await useHarperDB(botName)

const sock = makeWASocket.default({
    logger,
    printQRInTerminal: true,
    auth: {
        creds: state.creds,
        keys: makeCacheableSignalKeyStore(state.keys, logger)
    },
    msgRetryCounterCache,
    generateHighQualityLinkPreview: true
})

It gives the QR but when scanned, it raises an error:

PS: The same code was working perfectly fine previous week.
On Restarting, it goes in the loop of sending QR.

See Below
So far the workaround for starting session:

1. Temporarily install Baileys v5.0.0 using yarn add @adiwajshing/baileys
2. Change @WhiskeySockets/Baileys -> @adiwajshing/baileys
3. Login & save auth credentials anywhere, using useMultiFileAuthState or any other AuthStore. (Make sure to restart the connection if it disconnects)
4. Now, most probably your session will be created successfully.
5. Switch back to @WhiskeySockets/Baileys everywhere and dont forget to yarn remove @adiwajshing/baileys to prevent any conflict.
6. Your connection would've started & working just fine. 🥳

NOTE: For some reasons, there is a chance, one might still not be able to listen to message, group, etc. updates (except connection).
I have 3 bots, 2 are able to listen to message updates, 1 still only gets connection updates. Idk why. 🤷‍♂️

Till then, I will wait for the devs fix.

Ok nvm it returned, this time in between while it was idle.

And there it stuck again :')
I started the bot again manually and its working fine.

Though I know this error will return.
Any possible work-through or solution will be highly appreciated!

Same here.
I Can't scan the QR. Getting this error:

|   statusCode: 515,
|   payload: {
|     statusCode: 515,
|     error: 'Unknown',
|     message: 'Stream Errored (restart required)'
|   },
|   headers: {}
| }

And then, When I restart the socket, I get this error:

|   statusCode: 405,
|   payload: {
|     statusCode: 405,
|     error: 'Method Not Allowed',
|     message: 'Connection Failure'
|   },
|   headers: {}
| }

Got same error, Anyone know how to solve this issue ??

[afeno]

Use version: [2,2323,4]

[iosahil]

Current workaround is to specify the version [2,2323,4] like:

const sock = makeWASocket({
        version: [2,2323,4],
        ...
});

Credits: @afeno

[igortrust]

version: [2,2323,4],

Run here! tks so much!

@w3nder tks u 2

[edgardmessias]

Fixed at https://github.com/WhiskeySockets/Baileys/releases/tag/v6.2.1

[wombat86]

Doesn't seem to work for me with v6.2.1. Same symptoms as in the initial comment

[blackhiden]

@iosahil it works fine on me
