Fix: Replace deprecated forwardMessage with forwardMessagesV2 (#2440)
# Fix: Replace deprecated forwardMessage with forwardMessagesV2
## Description
This PR fixes the message forwarding functionality by replacing the deprecated `forwardMessage` method with `forwardMessagesV2`.
## Problem
The `forwardMessages` endpoint was failing with the following error:
```
Cannot read properties of undefined (reading 'map')
```
This error occurred because:
1. The `forwardMessage` method is deprecated in @wppconnect-team/wppconnect
2. The deprecated method has issues with how it passes parameters to WhatsApp Web's internal API
3. The `options` parameter was being passed incorrectly, causing WhatsApp Web to fail when trying to call `.map()` on undefined
## Solution
- Replaced `req.client.forwardMessage()` with `req.client.forwardMessagesV2()`
- The new method properly handles the options parameter and fixes argument passing from positional to named args (object-based)
- Added proper message validation before attempting to forward
- Improved input validation and phone number formatting
## Changes Made
### File: `src/controller/deviceController.ts`
**Before:**
```typescript
response = await req.client.forwardMessage(formattedPhone, messageId);
```
**After:**
```typescript
const msg = await req.client.getMessageById(messageId);
if (!msg) {
throw new Error(`Message with ID ${messageId} not found or cannot be accessed`);
}
response = await req.client.forwardMessagesV2(formattedPhone, [messageId]);
```
## Key Improvements
1. ✅ Fixed the "Cannot read properties of undefined" error
2. ✅ Uses the non-deprecated API method (`forwardMessagesV2`)
3. ✅ Added message existence validation before forwarding
4. ✅ Proper handling of both array and string phone number formats
5. ✅ Correct formatting for groups (@g.us) and contacts (@c.us)
6. ✅ Better error handling and validation
## Testing
- [x] Tested forwarding messages to individual contacts
- [x] Tested forwarding messages to groups
- [x] Tested with various message types (text, images, etc.)
- [x] Verified error handling for invalid message IDs
- [x] Confirmed no console errors in production
## API Endpoint
**POST** `/api/:session/forward-messages`
**Request Body:**
```json
{
"phone": ["132312321@g.us"],
"isGroup": true,
"messageId": "false_96650231231@c.us_3EB0B78X0AF34AF81A59FE"
}
```
**Success Response:**
```json
{
"status": "success",
"response": [...]
}
```
## Breaking Changes
None - This is a bug fix that maintains backward compatibility with the existing API interface.
