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

create({
          sessionId: `mySessionId`,
          sessionDataPath: 'sessions',
          chromiumArgs,
          sessionData,
          headless: false,
          autoRefresh: true,
          blockCrashLogs: true,
          cacheEnabled: true,
          throwErrorOnTosBlock: true,
          logConsole: false,
          logConsoleErrors: true,
          skipBrokenMethodsCheck: true,
          useChrome: true,
          qrLogSkip: true,
          bypassCSP: true,
          disableSpins: true,
          useStealth: false,
          killProcessOnBrowserClose: false,
          qrTimeout: config.WA_QR_TIMEOUT,
          authTimeout: config.AUTH_TIMEOUT,
          proxyServerCredentials
        })
        .then((client) => {
          ...
        })

Expected behavior
getAllNewMessages to actually return the new messages (if any).
