[BUG] Message absent from node

[makanSukros]

Describe the bug Today I encountered a strange bug, when someone sends a message to my number (as a bot) I don't receive the message content perfectly but I get a messageStubType 2 message with the content "Message absent from node", is anyone experiencing the same thing with me?

Response from message.upsert {"key":{"remoteJid":"[email protected]","fromMe":false,"id":"3EB0EA33EA903CEE6C34"},"messageTimestamp":1658994332,"pushName":"Mas Prayogi","messageStubType":2,"messageStubParameters":["Message absent from node"]}

Until now I'm still experiencing this bug

is your bot not replying due to absent from node? or your bot not getting the message?

What version of Baileys are you using?

Im using latest edge version

[makanSukros]

this problem appears when the message is sent via whatsapp desktop, if the message is sent from the device everything is normal

[MaznAbdullah]

This problem occurs when we send from web whatsapp to device Sending from baileys to device is okay (but not appear in web whatsapp) Sending from device is okay Its looks like failure in decrypting message

remove node_modules and reinstall the dependencies and reconnect

Tried before, for a while the message managed to get in, but in a few hours later the message from wa desktop didn't come back with the message absent from node

same here

[makanSukros]

It turns out that when I get an error message absent from node, I also get an error message "Closing stale open session for new outgoing prekey bundle" at the same time.

[riozee]

The problem relates to decoding frame. We do not receive 'enc' single byte token and it's content from WA. This is how it looks like:

{
    "tag": "message",
    "attrs": {
        "from": "",
        "type": "",
        "id": "",
        "notify": "",
        "t": ""
    },
    "content": [
        {
            "tag": "url_text",
            "attrs": {}
        },
        {
            "tag": "url_number",
            "attrs": {}
        },
        {
            "tag": "unavailable",
            "attrs": {}
        }
    ]
}

And how normal message looks:

{
    "tag": "message",
    "attrs": {
        "from": "",
        "type": "",
        "id": "84839B8B27986549C4C4AD8C25B4C664",
        "recipient": "",
        "verified_level": "unknown",
        "notify": "",
        "verified_name": "",
        "t": ""
    },
    "content": [
        {
            "tag": "enc",
            "attrs": {
                "v": "2",
                "type": "pkmsg"
            },
            "content": {
                "type": "Buffer",
                "data": []
            }
        },
        {
            "tag": "url_text",
            "attrs": {}
        },
        {
            "tag": "url_number",
            "attrs": {}
        }
    ]
}

We see that there is no 'enc' tag in the first message. But occasionally it is normal since we do retry (and whatsapp web sure also does ). Baileys indeed after receiving corrupted message sends a retry request from here https://github.com/adiwajshing/Baileys/blob/master/src/Socket/messages-recv.ts#L141 but after 1 attempt it does not receive any response on this request from WA. I assume retry receipt request is somehow mailformed. Most likely tag 'keys'

Or maybe we need to do more that 1 retry receipt request in this case even if we do not receive anything from wa socket

But occasionally it is normal since we do retry...

Does this mean that it will always work properly? In other words: Will we always be able to read the text even if we get the "failure in decrypting message" warning before the retry?

No. Message from whatsapp does not contain any binary content. Only meta data (tag, attrs etc) There is nothing to decrypt.
