Wa-automate-nodejs: ReferenceError: WAPI is not defined

ReferenceError: WAPI is not defined error thrown while sending and receiving is dead

[Marguelgtz]

@OmarAttia Getting the same error as of today, Looking into it 👀 haven't found anything yet🤕 . @smashah any ideas?

[OmarAttia]

I guess it's puppeteer related issue

[Marguelgtz]

not sure, used it a couple days ago w/out problems. Puppeteer is opening whatsapp web and authenticating correctly however most of the methods on the package fail throwing out this error. I'm thinking it may have something to do with whatsapp web page

window.Store.ChatClass.default.prototype.sendMessage = function (e) {
return window.Store.SendTextMsgToChat(this, ...arguments);
}

Line 62 wapi.js

the problem lies here

@phantom-limb how?

[phantom-limb]

I disabled sending function.

[OmarAttia]

LOL

[Marguelgtz]

I disabled sending function.

There isn't a better solution than ignoring the problem it seems 🤦‍♂

@OmarAttia any luck?

[OmarAttia]

in progress

@OmarAttia how are you trying to approach it, maybe I can also jump in and try to find a solution too. At this point I don't really know what else to look for

[OmarAttia]

we need to redefine window.Store.Chat

[smashah]

@OmarAttia can you make a pr with the fix?

[OmarAttia]

Sure, as soon as I finish

[smashah]

In meantime here is another discussion of this issue on the source of wapi.js https://github.com/mukulhase/WebWhatsapp-Wrapper/issues/754
