[Bug Report] Can Not remove "Update Available"

[bkmo]

On version 0.2.2 The "update available" never disappears. If I click it the window closes and when re-opened the message remains.

When clicked to update WhatsApp Web as usual an unusual dialog box appears:

Clicking either button leads to a dead end where you have to quit and restart:

KDE neon 5.25
KDE Plasma 5.25.4
KDE Frameworks 5.97.0
Qt 5.15.5

Same here. Didn't get this with the snap version (2.1), although there didn't seem to be a way to clear it too.

we are preaching to the choir, this project is dead.

thanks for the suggestion, I was using Whatsie in the meantime but that has some cert error

Please check if this is still happening in the new beta version https://github.com/WAClient/WALC/releases/tag/v0.3.0-beta.0

Update Available still persists after updating.

[Sadi58]

Does this still appear during (apparently unsuccessful) "updating" process?
In that case, it seems this (which I guess might be the underlying problem) hasn't been resolved yet.

[Zzombiee2361]

@Sadi58 that issue is tracked here #172, which should be fixed.

Now this bug is a real head scratcher. If anyone had an idea how to fix it, I'm all ears.

Yes this appears before the unsuccessful update.

[Zzombiee2361]

Whatsapp shows that no matter what user agent I use. I managed to get past that reliably but unfortunately that's the best I could do

[Sadi58]

I've tried the latest Beta, which made no difference. So I returned to "WALC-0.2.4.AppImage", and today after the usual appearance at startup, this message has disappeared after the "updating" process.
Probably it was due to an upstream bug, which has been fixed now.
It still appears every time WALC starts, but it no longer persists after the "updating" process.

[dagmoller]

I've not tested it, but i think you need to pass userAgent to Client object of whatsapp-web-electron.js
this.whatsapp = new Client(pieBrowser, this, {userAgent: ....});

[Zzombiee2361]

But of course! Why didn't I think of that?

From my testing the "Update Available" button would still appears, but if you click it, the app will reload and won't appear again. But at least it won't show the upgrade browser notice at all

[wokawoka]

same problem here

[Sadi58]

Yes, after a while it reappeared in the new beta version as well. ☹ Not a big deal though...
