[alechkos]

PR Details

The PR fixes an issue where the WhatsApp Web version is stuck on v2.2413.51 in #2616 and does not automatically update the version in Constants.js, README.md and .version.

How Has This Been Tested

Tested on a private repository created specially for this:

const getWWebVersion = async () => {

    const page = await browser.newPage();
    await page.goto('https://web.whatsapp.com', {
        waitUntil: 'load',
        timeout: 0,
        referer: 'https://whatsapp.com/',
    });

    await page.waitForFunction(() => window.require && window.require('WAWebBuildConstants'));

    const versionString = await page.evaluate(() => {
        return window.require('WAWebBuildConstants').VERSION_STR;
    });

    await browser.close();
    return versionString;
};

(async () => {
    console.log(`Current version: ${await getWWebVersion()}`);
})();
