SendMessage issue when send media file

See original GitHub issue

Is there an existing issue for this?

I have searched the existing issues

Describe the bug

Hi,

I have checked the documentation and other examples on internet and I believe that my code is ok. It’s working fine when I try to send a text, but it doesn’t work for media (image).

I have tried to use MessageMedia.fromFilePath and MessageMedia.fromUrl and both return the image ok, but when I send the message nothing happens and there is no error.

Please, could you check if it is a bug or I am missing something?

Thanks in advance

Expected behavior

As a user, I expect to send the message using media files

Steps to Reproduce the Bug or Issue

Execute the code that I have provided with any image file

client.on('ready', () => {
    console.log('READY');
    client.getChats().then((chats) => {

        client.sendMessage('34664547621@c.us', "test");

        //const media = MessageMedia.fromFilePath('coloured-lab-symbol-white.png');
        const media = MessageMedia.fromUrl('https://colouredlab.com/assets/coloured-lab-symbol-white.png');

@remomfurlanetto In my case I had the same problem, and the problem was that for some rason on the final part of my code the client.destroy(); was executing before that the sendMessage finish the process, and the temporary solution was remove the client.destroy(); line. (put it inside a condition or in a setTime())

No, I didn’t. Everything that I tried regarding this functionality didn’t work. The message was never being delivered
