Not loading session from remote

[viniciusbig]

After a succesfull login, the zip file is saved on my S3.

When I restart my app, I can see the session file is downloaded from S3, but the whatsapp client is not logged, it keep asking for the QR Code.

Is there anything missing to use the session saved in the bucket?

Hello @viniciusbig , can you give more details about your code?

[viniciusbig]

Sure!

here is the piece I think its relevant

const { Client, LocalAuth, RemoteAuth } = require('whatsapp-web.js');
const { AwsS3Store } = require('wwebjs-aws-s3');
const { S3Client, PutObjectCommand, HeadObjectCommand, GetObjectCommand, DeleteObjectCommand } = require('@aws-sdk/client-s3');

const s3 = new S3Client({
    region: process.env.AWS_REGION,
    credentials: {
        accessKeyId: process.env.AWS_ACCESS_KEY_ID,
        secretAccessKey: process.env.AWS_SECRET_ACCESS_KEY
    }
});
const putObjectCommand = PutObjectCommand;
const headObjectCommand = HeadObjectCommand;
const getObjectCommand = GetObjectCommand;
const deleteObjectCommand = DeleteObjectCommand;

const store = new AwsS3Store({
    bucketName: process.env.S3_BUCKET_NAME,
    remoteDataPath: 'active/',
    s3Client: s3,
    putObjectCommand,
    headObjectCommand,
    getObjectCommand,
    deleteObjectCommand
});

const client = new Client({
    authStrategy: new RemoteAuth({
        clientId: 'my-session',
        dataPath: './.wwebjs_auth',
        store: store,
        backupSyncIntervalMs: 600000
    }),
    restartOnAuthFail: true, // related problem solution
    puppeteer: { 
        headless: true,
        // executablePath: '/usr/bin/google-chrome-stable', // <- uncomment here to work on AWS Beanstalk
        args: [
            '--no-sandbox',
            '--disable-setuid-sandbox',
            '--disable-dev-shm-usage',
            '--disable-accelerated-2d-canvas',
            '--no-first-run',
            '--no-zygote',
            '--single-process', // <- this one doesn't works in Windows
            '--disable-gpu'
        ]
    }
});

client.initialize();

client is initialized and the qr event is triggered.
I'm running locally, in a MacOs M1

The file is correct downloaded and extracted. But it seems its being ignored by the client

Same problem here
I successfully saved my session to my bucket
But when loading my already saved session, it doesn't find:

  const s3 = new S3Client({
      region: config.s3.region,
      credentials: {
          accessKeyId: config.s3.accessKeyId,
          secretAccessKey: config.s3.secretAccessKey
      },
  })
  const putObjectCommand = PutObjectCommand; 
  const headObjectCommand = HeadObjectCommand;
  const getObjectCommand = GetObjectCommand;
  const deleteObjectCommand = DeleteObjectCommand; 
  const store = new AwsS3Store({
      bucketName: config.s3.bucket,
      remoteDataPath: 'whatsapp_sessions/',
      s3Client: s3,
      putObjectCommand,
      headObjectCommand,
      getObjectCommand,
      deleteObjectCommand
    });
    
  const authStrategy = new RemoteAuth({
      backupSyncIntervalMs: 300000,
      store,
      clientId,
      dataPath: "./.wwwebjs_auth"
  })
  const client = new Client({
    authStrategy: authStrategy,
    qrMaxRetries: 5,
    puppeteer: {
      headless: true,
      args: ['--no-sandbox']
    }
  })
  return client

Environment: ubuntu 20-04

Updates:
I was created a custom remote auth and works fine:
Basically s3 makes download of session, but the RemoteAuth cannot get the whole path, so in my CustomRemoteAuth i "merge" the dataPath with sessionDirName.

I hope help you!.

import AdmZip from "adm-zip"
import * as fs from "fs-extra"
import * as path from "path"
import WAWebJS, { RemoteAuth } from "whatsapp-web.js"

interface RemoteAuthOptions {
    clientId?: string
    dataPath?: string
    store: WAWebJS.Store
    backupSyncIntervalMs: number
  }

export class CustomRemoteAuth extends RemoteAuth {

    private userDataDir: string

    constructor(options: RemoteAuthOptions) {
        super(options)
        const sessionDirName = options.clientId ? `RemoteAuth-${options.clientId}` : 'RemoteAuth'
        this.userDataDir = path.join(options?.dataPath ?? '', sessionDirName)
    }

    async unCompressSession(compressedSessionPath: string): Promise<void> {
        await new Promise((resolve, reject) => {
            const zip = new AdmZip(compressedSessionPath)
            zip.extractAllToAsync(this.userDataDir, true, false, (err) => {
                console.log("#######", this.userDataDir, compressedSessionPath)
                if(err)
                { reject(err) }
                else
                { resolve(null) }
            })
        })
        await fs.promises.unlink(compressedSessionPath)
    }
}

It's a whatsapp-web.js issue

Solved using that pr: pedroslopez/whatsapp-web.js#2412
