[BUG][WEBJS] - Scan QR issues (Whatsapp is out of date. Updating now ....)

[joseamonteironeto]

Hi! I can't generate a QR CODE because instance stays STARTING forever, tried on different devices, and it repeats the same behaviour... Am i'm doing something wrong? Or is this a bug? I'm using the lastest version!

same here, sometimes it starts but after scanning qr code nothing happens and whatsapp says after a minute that connection was not successful

[mohamed-elghafiani]

I have the same problem here, it keeps showing the message "Whatsapp is out of date. Updating now ...."
No QR code is shown!
I think the problem is from Whatsapp web!

I also have pro image from May and "Whatsapp is out of date. Updating now ...." problem. I could renew my subscription, but problem is still not solved.

[mohamed-elghafiani]

For those who are still experiencing this issue, try pulling the image again and rerunning it. This resolved the problem for me!

please share the commands

I am using waha-plus
if you're like me:
You can download the image using:
docker login -u devlikeapro -p {KEY}
docker pull devlikeapro/waha-plus
docker logout

and then run it using:
docker run -it -p 3000:3000/tcp devlikeapro/waha-plus

If you're using normal version it's the same think just instead of waha-plus change it to waha. Also you won't need to login!

You can check the doc for more info:

thanks for sharing.
i had a script that was still calling the old docker name,
I confirm that now I get the qr code

[devlikepro]

⚠️ Please make sure you're using the new docker image name devlikeapro/waha and devlikeapro/waha-plus in both docker pull command AND docker run commands.
Stop and remove the previous container if you have any (you can check it by docker ps)
Check GET /api/version response after that it must return 2024.6.8 or later (NOT 2024.6.1 or 2024.6.2 - it 100% means you're running old image, devlikeapro/whatsapp-http-api)

If after update you still have issues - kindle create SEPARATE issue and provide GET /api/version response with details.
