Edit Message Fails Silently #webpack-exodus

[martinezhermes]

Is there an existing issue for this?

• I have searched the existing issues

Describe the bug

I'm currently using #webpack-exodus branch, trying some code where I can react, reply, quote, etc, however edit does not work.
Is it supposed to be functional?
Trying to debug I got as far as:

let canEditText = window.Store.MsgActionChecks.canEditText(msg);
let canEditCaption = window.Store.MsgActionChecks.canEditCaption(msg);

These two variables resolve to false while trying to edit a message sent a few seconds before the edit instruction is triggered.

Expected behavior

Edit a user message is supposed to work, right?

Steps to Reproduce the Bug or Issue

• Install #webpack-exodus
• Try to edit a message
• Fails without error

Relevant Code

if (msg.hasQuotedMsg) {
    const quotedMsg = await msg.getQuotedMessage();
    quotedMsg.edit(`Test`).then((res)=>{
        console.log(res)
    }).catch(errro => {
        console.error('Erro ao deletar')
    })
    msg.react('✏️')
}

Not sure if you are actually trying to edit your own message or a quoted message from someone else, which you can not edit.

Since canEdit* returns false, it seems the message just cannot be edited by you. The underlying methods are taken directly from WhatsApp web and, unless the wrong message is passed, should work as intended.

that's the code i've got from the documentation, I am of course trying to edit my own messages as well as quoted own messages, does edit work for you in any way @themazim ?

I checked the editing on the new version. Everything works as before.
As before, the message can only be edited when send from the web.

That is, you write through the lib and these messages can be edited. Messages written from the phone can be edited only on the phone. It has always worked like this
