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. ## Related Issues Fixes message forwarding failures caused by deprecated API usage. ## Checklist - [x] Code follows the project's style guidelines - [x] Tests have been performed manually - [x] No console.log debug statements left in code - [x] Error handling is properly implemented - [x] Documentation/comments are clear and accurate
