Hi Erick

Thank you for your script. Awesome!

Saidly I get the following error when I run rwas.py with the following lines inside rwas.py.
rwas_service = RWAS(emulator=None) # class call
rwas_service.read(last_id=None).parse_to_json() # to read all on and parse to json
rwas_service.send(message="Hello world from mexico", remote_jid="[email protected]") # to send change the remote_jid

Any idea why it doesnt work?

ERROR

Hi Erick

Could it be that your script doesnt work anymore with the a new version of whatsapp? Which version have you used, when your script still worked. Do you remember?

Brigado!

This happens when I call the send.message function.

b''
b''
b'Error: no such table: messages\r\n'
b'Error: no such table: chat_list\r\n'
b'Error: no such table: chat_list\r\n'
b'Starting: Intent { cmp=com.whatsapp/.Main }\r\n'

seems like the database of whatsapp has changed.
