I just tested it and it seem to work fine, tested on heroku server, I forced restart the server multiple times and it then reloads the previous session instead of sending continuously new QR codes.

It don't work for me too. I can't restore the session from remote auth using mongo lib, after the whatsapp version 2.2334.12

@nkbhasker Why dou you think that the problem was the unzipper package? I have a server running with 34 devices under RemoteAuth, I have a issue where only ~30% of the sessions are restored after restarts. I tested your solution and my results are the same as before. I also tested locally with 2 devices and with both adm-zip and unzipper it worked the same. In my opinion there is something else causing problems with RemoteAuth. I am trying to debug it and will be happy to bring a feedback, but I would like to hear from you why you think that changing the unzip package could solve the problem! Thanks for contributing!

I have tested the solution its working. I have tested the unzipping with unzipper. That's not properly unzipping the file. That's lead not to restore the session.
Things completely got changed with using adm-zip and unzipper. If you merge the commit, it would be helpful for alll to use the library.

May you give the option for unzipping as parameter in Remoteauth.

Ye, I think the problem might be the save interval instead of unzipper

Fix: Resolve issue by downgrading Node.js version, removing old dependencies, and reinstalling

The problem was caused by using Node.js version 18, which caused compatibility issues with the project. After downgrading to Node.js version 16, removing old dependencies (old 'node_modules' directory and 'package-lock.json'), and reinstalling dependencies with 'npm install,' the issue is now resolved.

• Changed Node.js version from 18 to 16.
• Removed the old 'node_modules' directory and 'package-lock.json' file.
• Ran 'npm install' to reinstall project dependencies.

[longgtruong]

will this ever be merged or fixed? RemoteAuth is pretty essential feature

downgrading node is simply not a solution

@pedroslopez can you take a look on that please?

[GT-Eric]

This fix actually worked for me. What @nkbhasker mention is possible. But I'm not really sure about the specific reason why the uncompression for unzipper doesn't work and works for adm.

[klmz]

I've tested this combined with this library: https://github.com/Tots-Agency/wwebjs-google-cloud-storage and this is working.

[gg3083]

test work

[viniciusbig]

It seems to be working now.
any change to have this merged?

[roysG]

Works perfectly, but... in case you will start another logged session in other server.. then it cause to messages stop sending.
The only fix for this is to delete the folder from the S3.

@pedroslopez will this ever be merged or fixed?
Yes, @longgtruong RemoteAuth is a pretty essential feature
@pedroslopez please 🙏 look into it

[outaTiME]

Yay, it works perfectly with the wwebjs-aws-s3 extension and node18, it would be of utmost importance to approve the PR to avoid the patch 🙌

[zanatahenry]

This worked perfectly for me, using the wwebjs-mongo extension.

[hirebarend]

Tested with AWS S3, Mongo and another custom store and it works

[Har1ha]

adm zip loads up too much memory when i restart it was stuck at remote connected, hopefully I do not see QR code but the problem is the zipper

I'm using node version 20.11.1
