"Failed to restore message"

[justanotheranonymoususer]

Looks like it's no longer able to restore deleted message

[tomer8007]

It seems WhatsApp made the XMPP acknowledgments mechanism more robust and added something called LID. Looking. I can get restored messages when they get deleted while the WhatsApp window is open, though.

[tomer8007]

OK, I committed a8ff5fc which seems to make the message restore feature work fine for me now. Please let me know if this changes stuff for you too.

BTW some changes that WhatsApp made are for integration with third party messaging apps.

Still doesn't work for me sadly. ver 2.1.0, does it contain the fix?

[tomer8007]

It should :-(
Javascript errors? Also I'm talking about the restore of new messages, of course.

yes sure

lots of errors:

[tomer8007]

Ah, I see. I hope to encounter this error in the upcoming days. If you feel like debugging in the meantime you can enable WAdebug = true and try to see for yourself if the revoke message is really the one that fails decryption.

[justanotheranonymoususer]

It stops here on every msg I receive. Not sure what else I can debug, lmk.

Does the Cannot convert undefined or null to object exception happen for messages from all contacts/groups? Did you try other accounts/re-logging in? I ask because for me it works.

Yes, seems like it

I don't have other accounts, cleared all data of web.whatsapp.com and logged in from start but same errors still

Is there any new information about this?
For me it doesn't even show the message Failed to restore message

Also, thanks for this amazing project and the investment of time in its development

@aviv926 Sadly there is no new information because this feature works for me. I also tried with WA Web Plus enabled too. Thanks for the warm words though

Do you get the same error as @justanotheranonymoususer ?

This might not be such a smart question on my part, but are you using the published version in the repository here? I'm assuming you're using git so I guess this question doesn't make much sense.

thank you for the answer

[justanotheranonymoususer]

I've installed it from the extension store, not from the repo

I'm using the version from the git repository.

[aviv926]

I'm using the version from the git repository.

I seem to have figured out what the problem is
When the WhatsApp interface is in a language other than English, the message "Failed to restore messages" is not displayed as soon as you change the language to English, the message "Failed to restore messages" is displayed but is not yet restored

Could you please specify what your setup is?
What language interface?
And what is the version of your WhatsApp?
Also are you running the extension on chrome?

It is important for me to note that in previous versions it worked without a problem with a system interface that is not English
Thanks

[tomer8007]

I tested it on both English and non-english setups, and yes, I'm using chrome. However I just encountered the following error which I think is the same error you're getting:

Does this mean there is a problem with the extension? Or does it have nothing to do with it and the problem is on my side and not in the extension?
Sorry, I didn't quite understand

[tomer8007]

I'm sure there is a problem with the extension, I just need to reproduce it.

[tomer8007]

@aviv926 @justanotheranonymoususer Can you tell if the newer version fixes the restore of messages?

[justanotheranonymoususer]

Yes it seems to be working now, thanks! FWIW there are still errors in the console from interception.js:710, not sure if it's a real problem

OK, if it looks like a real problem you can open another issue for it
