If you are running linux, try to create a new user and run the code as the new user.
Worked for me.

Try adding this to you config object when initializing new Client:

        clientObj.webVersionCache = {
            type: 'remote',
            remotePath: 'https://raw.githubusercontent.com/wppconnect-team/wa-version/main/html/2.2411.2.html',
        }
      const client = new Client(clientObj);

daoudibaby · 2024-06-03T19:06:26Z

it give me now:
` clientObj.webVersionCache = {
^

ReferenceError: clientObj is not defined`
can you send me a docker of your working version so i can use it ?

You have to pass local Auth
you can try it like this

npm install whatsapp-web.js

npm install qrcode-terminal

const { Client, LocalAuth } = require("whatsapp-web.js");
const qrcode = require("qrcode-terminal");

const client = new Client({
  puppeteer: {
    headless: true,
    args: ["--no-sandbox"],
  },
  authStrategy: new LocalAuth(),
  webVersionCache: {
    type: "remote",
    remotePath:
      "https://raw.githubusercontent.com/wppconnect-team/wa-version/main/html/2.2411.2.html",
  },
  authTimeoutMs: 60000, // Optional: timeout for authentication in milliseconds
  qrTimeout: 30000, // Optional: timeout for QR code generation
});

client.on("qr", (qr) => {
  qrcode.generate(qr, { small: true });
});

client.on("ready", () => {
  console.log("Client is ready!");
});

client.on("authenticated", () => {
  console.log("Client is authenticated!");
});

client.on("auth_failure", (msg) => {
  console.error("Authentication failure", msg);
});

client.on("message", (msg) => {
  console.log("MESSAGE RECEIVED", msg);
  if (msg.body === "!ping") {
    msg.reply("pong");
  }
});

client
  .initialize()
  .then(() => {

no need to pass filename or path just install the both packages and copy this code and run it it will show QR code in the console scan it and that's it

Try adding this to you config object when initializing new Client:

        clientObj.webVersionCache = {
            type: 'remote',
            remotePath: 'https://raw.githubusercontent.com/wppconnect-team/wa-version/main/html/2.2411.2.html',
        }
      const client = new Client(clientObj);

it worked, thanks

client

  .then(() => {

  })
  .catch((err) => {
    console.error("Error initializing client", err);
  });

what the filename and path should i edit?

Hi,
that worked not for me. Now I have the following error:

Error initializing client TimeoutError: Waiting for selector [data-icon='search']failed: Waiting failed: 60000ms exceeded at Timeout.<anonymous> (/home/pi/wwebjs/node_modules/puppeteer-core/lib/cjs/puppeteer/common/WaitTask.js:64:32) at listOnTimeout (node:internal/timers:569:17) at process.processTimers (node:internal/timers:512:7)

Fixed #3073
You have to pass local Auth you can try it like this
npm install whatsapp-web.js
npm install qrcode-terminal

const { Client, LocalAuth } = require("whatsapp-web.js");
const qrcode = require("qrcode-terminal");

const client = new Client({
  puppeteer: {
    headless: true,
    args: ["--no-sandbox"],
  },
  authStrategy: new LocalAuth(),
  webVersionCache: {
    type: "remote",
    remotePath:
      "https://raw.githubusercontent.com/wppconnect-team/wa-version/main/html/2.2411.2.html",
  },
  authTimeoutMs: 60000, // Optional: timeout for authentication in milliseconds
  qrTimeout: 30000, // Optional: timeout for QR code generation
});

client.on("qr", (qr) => {
  qrcode.generate(qr, { small: true });
});

client.on("ready", () => {
  console.log("Client is ready!");
});

client.on("authenticated", () => {
  console.log("Client is authenticated!");
});

client.on("auth_failure", (msg) => {
  console.error("Authentication failure", msg);
});

client.on("message", (msg) => {
  console.log("MESSAGE RECEIVED", msg);
  if (msg.body === "!ping") {
    msg.reply("pong");
  }
});

client
  .initialize()
  .then(() => {
    console.log("Client initialized successfully");
  })
  .catch((err) => {
    console.error("Error initializing client", err);
  });

no need to pass filename or path just install the both packages and copy this code and run it it will show QR code in the console scan it and that's it

Hello,
I copied the Code for the wweb-js library but I have the same error. What can I do? My Version of the Library is
^1.23.0 In package.js.

Do I Need another version?

julianosaless · 2024-06-05T13:45:48Z

Hi guys, do you know why whatsapp-web is so unstable, all the time just stopping to work?

thiagosiebert · 2024-06-05T14:02:30Z

I had several issue when trying to start the session. For both cases ^1.23.0 version used, node 18, linux, browser chromium. Idk if it's related to this topic, but got this issue today.

node_modules/whatsapp-web.js/src/webCache/LocalWebCache.js:34

Try adding this to you config object when initializing new Client:

        clientObj.webVersionCache = {
            type: 'remote',
            remotePath: 'https://raw.githubusercontent.com/wppconnect-team/wa-version/main/html/2.2411.2.html',

In which file do I make this change?

DanielPerMon · 2024-06-05T17:22:32Z

Hi everyone, I'm having an issue with the 'authenticated' event, I can scan QR but then nothing happens, not any logs or errors form any package, below is the object I am using in my script

new Client({
puppeteer: {args: ['--no-sandbox', '--disable-setuid-sandbox'],headless: true},
authStrategy: new LocalAuth(),
webVersionCache: {type: 'remote',
remotePath: 'https://raw.githubusercontent.com/wppconnect-team/wa-version/main/html/2.2410.1.html'}})

Wonder if a version is working fine

silveira2974 · 2024-06-07T01:40:33Z

Using version Exodus WhatsApp Web 2.30xx:
1- npm install github:pedroslopez/whatsapp-web.js#webpack-exodus;
2- if you are using, remove WebCache;
3- delete folder node_modules and wwebjs_auth;
4- npm install;
5- start your script.

Using version WhatsApp Web 2.24xx:
1- npm i whatsapp-web.js@1.23.1-alpha.6;
2- Use WebCache;

{
  webVersion: "2.2412.54",
  webVersionCache: {
        type: "remote",
        remotePath:
          "https://raw.githubusercontent.com/wppconnect-team/wa-version/main/html/2.2412.54.html",
      },
}

3- delete folder node_modules and wwebjs_auth;
4- npm install;
5- start your script.

How do I remove WebCache or in which file should I pass the type: "remote" information?

You don't need pass it, just initialize the client normally.

Example:

const client = new Client({ authStrategy: new LocalAuth(), puppeteer: { headless: true, args: [ '--no-sandbox', '--disable-setuid-sandbox', '--disable-dev-shm-usage', '--single-process', '--no-zygote', '--no-first-run', '--no-default-browser-check', '--disable-extensions', '--disable-default-apps', '--disable-sync', '--disable-translate', '--disable-web-security', '--disable-features=site-per-process', '--disable-infobars', '--window-position=0,0', '--ignore-certificate-errors', '--ignore-certificate-errors-spki-list', '--disable-gpu', '--disable-webgl', '--disable-threaded-animation', '--disable-threaded-scrolling', '--disable-in-process-stack-traces', '--disable-histogram-customizer', '--disable-gl-extensions', '--disable-composited-antialiasing', '--disable-canvas-aa', '--disable-3d-apis', '--disable-accelerated-2d-canvas', '--disable-accelerated-jpeg-decoding', '--disable-accelerated-mjpeg-decode', '--disable-app-list-dismiss-on-blur', '--disable-accelerated-video-decode' ] } });
