2.3000.1018520455

Browser Version

Steps to reproduce

1. Open a contact

2. Send a message and also receive a message from that contact at the same time.
   

3. Call WPP.chat.getMessages('918285501***@c.us', {
   count: 50,
   }) function and you will notice one of the last two messages is not coming.

What is expected?

All the messages along with last two messages which are being sent or received should be there.

What is actually happening?

One of the last two messages is not coming when calling the WPP.chat.getMessages('918285501***@c.us', {
count: 50,
}); function.

Any additional comments?

I don't know how exactly you are using this function, but it is working very well here for me:

try it with await, its working fine

await WPP.chat.getMessages('918285501***@c.us', {
count: 50,
})

await WPP.chat.getMessages('918285501***@c.us', {
count: 50,
}) 

Doesn't work every time, with or without await.

Hi @icleitoncosta did you get time to see this?

I tried reproducing this error on WhatsApp version 2.3000.1019030618, but the issue did not occur. Could you update the whatsapp version and test it, please?

Same issue, this happens when getting the message list immediately when chat is activated

My current solution is to delay getting the message list after activating the chat

  WPP.on('chat.active_chat', () =>
    setTimeout(async () => {
      const chat = await WPP.chat.getActiveChat()
      const list = chat.getAllMsgs()
    }, 300)
  )
