I am having trouble restoring WhatsApp sessions after restarting the server because the session.json file is no longer available in the .wwebjs_auth folder. My system was set up to restore all sessions created after a restart or update. It seems to be some kind of error related to Puppeteer.

The auth is stored as chrome data dir right? How you did that?

When I authenticate with QR, I store the session data in my database, but I need the session.json that whatsapp-web.js saved when I authenticated. However, it is not being saved due to the update, and I can no longer restore the sessions after restarting the server.

This is how it manages storage to restore the session, but whatsapp-web.js is no longer giving me the session.json file.
