Client wont start

[lean hemlock]

Node Version:
v18.19.0
Npm Version:
9.2.0

The Client only shows me the qr code to log in, but it never prints, that the Client is ready. The Client was worin once, but then it stopped

Post your code

[lean hemlock]

const { chromium } = require('playwright');
const axios = require('axios');
const cheerio = require('cheerio');
const fs = require('fs');
const path = require('path');
const { Client, MessageMedia, LocalAuth } = require('whatsapp-web.js');
const qrcode = require('qrcode-terminal');
const { console } = require('inspector');

const client = new Client({
    authStrategy: new LocalAuth()
});

client.on('qr', qr => {
    qrcode.generate(qr, { small: true });
});

client.on('ready', () => {
    console.log('Client is ready!');
});


client.on('message_create', async message => {
    if (message.body === 'files') {

        //functions
    }
});

client.initialize();

[cosmic lava]

Certainly you are doing something wrong

[lean hemlock]

it worked before

idk

ill try to make a new project

@cosmic lava it worked somehow??????

[cosmic lava]

Because it was not a lib problem, was a problem in your end

[lean hemlock]

it was because one of the other import things

[cosmic lava]

Maybe

[lean hemlock]

const { console } = require('inspector');
