Wa-automate-nodejs: sendLocation not working

[mcroni]

Describe the bug
A clear and concise description of what the bug is.

Steps to Reproduce

async function start(client) {
    await client.onMessage(message => {
        console.log(message);

        if (message.body === 'Hi') {
            client.sendText(message.from, '👋 Hello!');
            client.sendLocation(message.from, '51.5074', '0.1278',  'LONDON!');

        }
    });
}

create() code
This is the code you use to create the client. e.g

create('session',
    {
        headless: false,
        executablePath: 'C:\\Program Files (x86)\\Google\\Chrome\\Application\\chrome.exe',
    },
        "WhatsApp/0.4.315 Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 10.0; Win64; x64) AppleWebKit/537.36 (KHTML, like Gecko) Chrome/80.0.3987.122 Safari/537.36"
    )
    .then(client => start(client));

Expected behavior
I wish i could find a working code example for sendLocation and the sendImage/File function. When i do this the code doesnt throw any error and yet i dont see the location been sent nor the file being sent to the reciepient

DEBUG INFO
This is the info printed to the console when you start your app. It should look like this

Debug Info {
  WA_VERSION: '0.4.1296',
  PAGE_UA: 'WhatsApp/0.4.315 Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 10.0; Win64; x64) AppleWebKit/537.36 (KHTML, like Gecko) Chrome/80.0.3987.122 Safari/537.36',
  SULLA_HOTFIX_VERSION: '1.7.28',
  BROWSER_VERSION: 'Chrome/80.0.3987.132'
}

same errors here

[smashah]

Can you check if there are any errors in the chrome console

[andersondeoliveiramachado]

location sending worked with the latest version of WAPI on the console. the SendText function is undefined.

[smashah]

sendText isn't a wapi function

[mcroni]

@smashah i tried WAPI.sendLocation("[email protected]",5.55602, -0.1969, "accra") which only returns a Promise {<resolved>: undefined} in the console. So the location is actual showing in the whatsapp web that it has been sent to the specified chatid but not on the phone of the chatid . This seems like what is happening with #98 where the buttons don't get displayed

[irhampro]

@smashah I got same error.. sendFile() didnt post anything. In console it return Promise {<pending>}

[mcroni]

@irhampro i think you can use sendImage to achieve the same purpose, i just tried it and it works, i think @smashah stated in the readme
await whatsapp.sendImage( message.from, "data:binary/octet-stream;base64,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=", "mcroni.docx", "You just sent me this" );

this isnt a valid base64 but this works for me

[irhampro]

My sendFile() is working right now.. I just forgot to put mime before base64 string. Also work with sendImage() thx @mcroni .

[mcroni]

this is really strange, now the sendLocation works on both web and can be seen on the receipient's phone.

[smashah]

Ok I'll close this for now then. Please report back if it happens again. Thanks

[mcroni]

the sendLocation doesn't seem to work all the time, @marcelocecin can you kindly paste an example code to help us with better debugging

[marcelocecin]

I'm using the server.ts demo

[smashah]

I am unable to recreate this, everything seems to be working fine based on demo/index.ts

I'm going to instigate a new release, please update and try again.

@marcelocecin despite the error, did it show up? That can also happen when there's a corrupted message in the chat. I suggest deleting the chat, trying again and ignoring that message if the message actually gets sent properly. Until I have reproducible instructions there's not much else I can do.
