"requestPairingCode" Returns Invalid Code

The function "requestPairingCode" returns a pairing code, but it is invalid. This issue has been tested on more than 10 accounts with the same result. Please investigate and fix the problem.

Investigated and the problem is from your code not baileys

I think I found the reason for the error. When I define 'browser' in 'makeWASocket', the code doesn't connect.

Show us how the code looks where you create your connection (makeWASocket)

@joaoporth Yep, seems to be true.

I was implementing the Pairing and found that if I use the browser config, it does not work. Baileys does generate a CODE, but the standard Whatsapp notification does not arrive.

I will update the exact version of Browser that works here if any.

any update @AkashSaikia ?

@AkashSaikia please update.

same issue here i tried, with and without socket browserconfig, with every value I could think of and I didn't manage to make ir work

any update on this?

requestPairingCode is not working for me. returns a code, but always invalid code

"@whiskeysockets/baileys": "^6.7.17",

    version,

        creds: state.creds,
        keys: makeCacheableSignalKeyStore(state.keys, logger),
    },
    defaultQueryTimeoutMs: undefined,
    msgRetryCounterCache,
    generateHighQualityLinkPreview: true,
    browser: Browsers.macOS('Google Chrome'),
    syncFullHistory: true
});


    if (!client.authState.creds.registered) {
        // Request pairing code
        const formattedNumber = phoneNumber.replace(/[^0-9]/g, '');
         // Set the browser to Google Chrome for pairing code request
        client.authState.creds.browser = Browsers.macOS("Google Chrome");
        const code = await client.requestPairingCode(formattedNumber);

}

It generates a code, but it is not valid and no WhatsApp notification is received.

const sock = makeWASocket({ version, logger, printQRInTerminal: true, auth: { creds: state.creds, keys: makeCacheableSignalKeyStore(state.keys, logger), }, // browser: ["WhatsApp Desktop", "Firefox", "1.0.0"], connectTimeoutMs: 60000, defaultQueryTimeoutMs: 60000, emitOwnEvents: true, markOnlineOnConnect: true, syncFullHistory: false, });

    }

@SheIITear why did you close it?

im having the same issue without initializing the browser. the code is created but invalid for connection.

"@whiskeysockets/baileys": "^6.7.17",

const sock = makeWASocket({
    version,
    logger,
    printQRInTerminal: false,
    markOnlineOnConnect: false,
    auth: {
        creds: state.creds,
        keys: makeCacheableSignalKeyStore(state.keys, logger),
    },
    defaultQueryTimeoutMs: undefined,
    msgRetryCounterCache,
    generateHighQualityLinkPreview: true,
    //browser: Browsers.macOS('Google Chrome'),
    syncFullHistory: true
});


    if (!client.authState.creds.registered) {
               const code = await client.requestPairingCode(formattedNumber);
       }

@Yaniv101, ### I solved the problem. You can use the following:

const sock = makeWASocket({ version, logger, printQRInTerminal: true, auth: { creds: state.creds, keys: makeCacheableSignalKeyStore(state.keys, logger), }, connectTimeoutMs: 60000, defaultQueryTimeoutMs: 60000, emitOwnEvents: true, markOnlineOnConnect: true, syncFullHistory: false, });

sock.ev.on("creds.update", saveCreds);

if (connection === "connecting") if (!sock.authState.creds.registered) { console.log([${formattedNumber}] waiting for code...); const code = await sock.requestPairingCode(formattedNumber); if (code) { console.log( [${formattedNumber}] 🔐 Code: ${code} 🔐 ); } }

Working great now Thank you
