By debugging the stack trace I found the follow:

{
  exceptionId: 1,
  text: "Uncaught (in promise)",
  lineNumber: 0,
  columnNumber: 0,
  exception: {
    type: "object",
    className: "r",

      type: "object",
      description: "r",
      overflow: true,
      properties: [
        {
          name: "_e",
          type: "object",
          value: "Error\n" +
            "    at j (https://static.whatsapp.net/rsrc.php/v4ikeA4/yJ/l/en_US-j/9HZko7zyvqRgKGqpFRHxNi9lQ…",
          subtype: "error"
        },
        { name: "name", type: "string", value: "DataError" },
        {
          name: "message",
          type: "string",
          value: "Failed to execute 'get' on 'IDBObjectStore': No ke… 'IDBObjectStore': No key or key range specified."
        },
        {
          name: "inner",
          type: "object",
          value: "DataError: Failed to execute 'get' on 'IDBObjectStore': No key or key range specified.\n" +
            "    at https…",
          subtype: "error"
        },
        { name: "type", type: "string", value: "error" }
      ]
    }
  }
}

I think it is something related to try to get data from ObjectDB of Chrome. But the chrome I'm using is the one that puppeteer got in the installation process.

Also, after runtime goes down the browser still stays up, so I need to kill it to run the code again.

Reproduction Steps

1. Get the code sample

2. run the code

3. Auth with whatsapp

4. Send a message

Code Sample

import { Client, LocalAuth } from "whatsapp-web.js";
import qrcode from "qrcode-terminal";

const client = new Client({
  authStrategy: new LocalAuth(),
  puppeteer: {
    executablePath: import.meta.dirname + "/browser/chrome",
    headless: false,
  },
});

client.on("qr", (qr) => {
  qrcode.generate(qr, { small: true });
});

client.on("ready", async () => {
  console.log(await client.getWWebVersion());
  console.log("Client is ready!");
});

client.on("message", async (msg) => {
  const chat = await msg.getChat();

await chat.sendStateTyping();
});

client.initialize();
