Backfill does no longer work with Matrix Synapse
derritter88 opened this issue · comments
Hello there,
I have been using this bridge for a year without any problems.
Initially I configured my Matrix homeserver as mentiond with
experimental_features:
msc2716_enabled: true
which still works.
But since the upgrade to 1.87.0 the bridge does no longer work if backfill: true.
The log says:
mautrix-whatsapp-amd64[634328]: Jul 6, 2023 13:08:05 FTL Backfilling is enabled in bridge config, but homeserver does not support MSC2716 batch sending
The master branch has legacy backfill support
So what is the correct approach?
Leaving backfill: false?
I think that all of these settings should still work: https://github.com/mautrix/whatsapp/blob/master/example-config.yaml#L130-L155
It will just backfill everything all at once on portal creation, instead of incrementally backfilling like is supported via Beeper.
Unfortunately backfill: true does no longer work with the current Matrix Synapse server.
I installed the update two days ago on my Ubuntu 22.04 VM and yesterday I recognised that Mautrix Whatsapp service was no longer running due to the above mentioned error message.
You probably aren't using the master branch, then.
I am using the precombiled version from the release section.
For Synapse I am using the official Ubuntu repository
The release is not master
notice there are 18 commits to master since that release
I see - are there any plans to release another precompiled version?
Eventually, yes. If you really don't want to compile it yourself, you should be able to download the latest executable from CI if you want: https://mau.dev/mautrix/whatsapp/-/jobs/35335 (choose which architecture on the right)
Thanks @sumnerevans - that did the trick.
The current binary file from there is running with backfill: true.
