[BUG] Unable to send message to group

I have been using Baileys and it has been running smoothly. However, since yesterday morning, I've been unable to send any messages (both text and images) to groups.

Interestingly, sending messages to private/individual numbers still works perfectly, including text and images. The issue is strictly limited to sending messages to groups. When I attempt to do so, the application crashes and throws the following error.

Steps to Reproduce

  • Initialize the Baileys client and connect successfully.
  • Attempt to send a message (text or media) to any individual number.
  • Working perfectly
  • Attempt to send a message (text or media) to any group chat ID.
  • The error occurs immediately.

Expected Behavior The message should be sent to the group successfully without any errors.

Actual Behavior The application throws a SessionError: No sessions and crashes. Here is the full error log:

/usr/src/app/node_modules/libsignal/src/session_cipher.js:71
                throw new errors.SessionError("No sessions");
                      ^
