Server Returned Error 479

[azickri]

When sending messages, sometimes you get the error message 'server returned error 479'

response, err := client.SendMessage(context.Background(), senderJID, protoMessage)
if err != nil {
	errorMessage := err.Error()
	if errorMessage == "the store doesn't contain a device JID" {
		errorMessage = "whatsapp-engine: " + errorMessage + ", websocket not connected"
	} else if errorMessage == "failed to get device list: failed to send usync query: websocket not connected" {
		errorMessage = "whatsapp-engine: " + errorMessage
	}

	return nil, errors.New(errorMessage)
}

did you solve it?

i am facing the same

Hello, @nurtai325 .
I usually experience this problem because the recipient number is invalid or there is a socket connection problem in the package.

The temporary solution I am currently using is to validate the recipient number including the country code. And also routinely restart the socket connection to perform a re-initiation.

However, I haven't found a definitive solution yet, so I hope this issue will be kept open if someone finds a definitive solution.

Hey, @azickri thanks. I found out why the problem happens in my case. I wasn't waiting for it ti actually authenticate and store the information when getting success event from the qr channel and returned from the function immidiately.
if evt.Event == "success" { return }
i added some wait time.
if evt.Event == "success" { time.Sleep(time.Second * 2) cli.Disconnect() return }
