also we can fix this issue with this version 1.22.2-alpha.0. Try npm i [email protected] – Assuasive

Helped me. The official website doesn't tell it, such a huge mistake. wwebjs.dev – Flagelliform

1.22.2-alpha.0 does not contain the fix, at least not when I tested – Gorgon

im using 1.22.2-alpha.0 and still not receive client ready message. but when im trying use "whatsapp-web.js": "github.com/Julzk/whatsapp-web.js/tarball/jkr_hotfix_7" has been work. thankyou – Bema

Answer 2

I found in the official github the fix the issue, the solution is here: in summary you need to modify the file client.js in the node_modules/whatsapp-web.js/src/client.js

change the line 175 replace this:

 const INTRO_IMG_SELECTOR = 'div[role=\'textbox\']'; //'[data-icon=\'chat\']';
