Yowsup: Can't connect with yowsup-cli client

Created on 16 Feb 2016 · 24Comments · Source: tgalal/yowsup

Is there any issue with yowsup?
When I try to connect to yowsup-cli client I get the answer "Disconnected: Connection Closed"

offline:

general: Disconnected: Connection Closed

But if I try to send an sms through command line it works well

I need to get into yowsup-cli client to get jid of some groups that I belong to

Thank you so much for your help

Hi all
with the following procedure I got yowsup running:
I used the current master of colonyhqs fork: https://github.com/colonyhq/yowsup
I set the environment to Android for registration, because I faced issues with the s40 environment (see #1962). After registration I faced the problems described here while trying to login or send messages. Thus I switched the environment back to s40 - now it's working...
Well obviously this can't be the solution, but maybe it helps somebody finding the root cause.

Are you using two instances of yowsup running simultaneously?
If you run start a second instance of yowsup y will get this error. Yo can get this error also if y are ignoring acks.

Anyway, attach debug log to the issue (start with -d flag).

Here is the Log. How can I know that I'm running two instances of yowsup? What command should I use? How can I know that I'm ignoring acks? What commands should I use?

Thank you so much for your answer

i have same issue, i use yowsup v2.5.0.
i can register my number, but if i want to exec echo demo or send message always disconnected
any one can help?

sendytiaprayoga on 29 Sep 2016

Same problem here. I am using 2.5.0 under Windows 10.
The registration process seems to be successful and I've received my password.
The command line send ended without errors but nothing is received from the other side.
CLI is always [offline]. /L login would always produce:
general: Disconnected: Connection Closed

Here are the debug logs:

I have the same issue. Did anyone manage to overcome?

guybashan on 27 Nov 2016

Hi,
i also have this issue.
always get this debug message:
DEBUG:yowsup.layers.network.layer:Disconnected, reason: Connection Closed

my yowsup installation was a year old, so i decided to do the install steps again, to get the new version.
So how can i check, if a second yowsup instance is active, and how can i close it?

I also have a folder/opt/yowsup-Android_2.12.440 but doesn´t know what it was about.

will be nice if someone can help, thx!

Same issue here, anyone has a solution? Will be good to see help

Same issue here.

On $./yowsup-cli demos --yowsup

I try to login - it takes some time - and it says connection closed.
When I try with wrong phone/password it says Unauthorized Access. Otherwise just get connection closed upfront.

Using -d I got these lines (edited my number out of it):

Another info is I was trying within a server (cloud9) that there is no SSH configured.

edit: SSL* configured

Can you provide ping and tracert tests, please?
Run these commands and post the output here:

I could ping both addresses but I could not traceroute them (says 'send: operation not permitted')

nervmaster on 13 Dec 2016

What are you trying to test here? Those servers don't speak SSL
(https) on port 443 - they only expect the WhatsApp protocol...

Same issue here. It recognizes login and password, because with a different login or password, I get "Auth Error, reason not-authorized" instead. So something works.

Any ideas how to proceed, or how to debug this?

Need help with this issue!

brunodeandrade on 23 May 2017

I have the same issue.
What did I do?
I didn't succes in connecting with the right password and found somewhere that the S40 environment as from 30 june 2017 would not be supported by Whatsapp. So I installed everything as an Android environment.

This worked fine!

However, when I run the demos command line client, I cannot connect. "Connection Closed".
I run the CL client with following command:
yowsup-cli demos -E android -y -d --config mydetails

If I use it without the environment parameter, I get an autorisation error. This makes sense because my password was perceived in an android environment.

I learn from debug files that the whatsapp sends a "challenge" string and the yowsup client sends a hexadecimal response. On that response the client says "connection closed".

I think somehow there is still something wrong with the environment parameter...

Can someone help out?

Phyriphiry on 8 Jul 2017

Android uses protocol wa20 which isn't implemmented by yowsup. So keep using s40 env.

jlguardi on 8 Jul 2017

👍1

With s40 i get an authentication error. Another weird thing, everytime i register via yowsup, i have to re-register on my iPhone. It's like whatsapp knows you can only have one phone with the same number...

Phyriphiry on 8 Jul 2017

hello sir, yowsup realy work or not today?

fjrmaulana on 15 Dec 2017

Yes it works, but probably WhatsApp will ban your Phone-Number. Register with ... --env android and use with ... --env s40. WhatsApp will support s40-Devices until 31.12.2018 so, if your number get not banned, you can use yowsup cli for a year. On my last try they banned my number within a couple of days.
