Not sending image with sendwhats_image

[illives]

I am using python 3.8.7 version and pywhatkit==5.1.
When I try to send an image, only the text goes.

I am using windows 10.

pwk.sendwhats_image("+551197xxxxxxxxx", "D:\path\testewhatkit.jpg", "Here is the image", 10, True, 5)

Hey @illives , try to pass on the path like this "D:\\path\\image.jpg" as \ is a special character and you need to escape it. Also, try to clear your browser cache and login again.

unfortunately it didn't work.
With one image the test was successful, but when I placed another image only the text was sent.
And no errors were raised by python.

pwk.sendwhats_image("+551197xxxxxxx", "D:\\R_DELFOS_PREVISAO_MOBILE\\My_Pictures\\chart01.png", "Here is the image", 10, True, 5)

Can you try it again by placing the image in the same directory as of the script. Also, Is this error with a particular format of image?

hi there, it says you were going to release a new version to fix this bug but where still in version 5.1, i'm having this issue, not sending the image just text.

[aaryanrr]

Hey @Costosmaya, we apologize for the delay in update. All the core maintainers are currently busy with other stuff and there are a lot of changes that have to be finalized for the next update. Thanks for bearing with us.

Hey @aaryanrr thanks for your reply. I understand, your library is the best so far for what i need to do, but this has given me so frustration when not sending the img, i realized it "fixes" when clearing browsers cache, so i just setted up an automatic batch file to clear the browser's cache. Btw, is there any upcoming feature to send attachments, like pdf files?

So far we haven't found any way to send attachments like word files or pdfs but we are looking into it.

Hey @illives , this bug has been fixed in #123. The update will be released today. Thank you!

I am having the same problem.

I am using version 5.3

Python 3.10.1

No errors. There is, however, an error when I intentionally write the path incorrectly.

[infocus619]

import pywhatkit as pwk

pwk.sendwhats_image(phone_no="+917904*******", img_path="C:/User/MI/OneDrive/Desktop/thubel.png", caption="Example image sent!")
error:AttributeError: partially initialized module 'socket' has no attribute 'AF_INET' (most likely due to a circular import)

[SigireddyBalasai]

this error will be resolved in the next release you can use asyncpyewhatkit in mean time

Hi...I also spent quite some time trying to solve this same problem. In my case two details helped me.
I hope it helps you too.

1º I put the full path, exactly this way below:
r "C:\u003d\u003d\u003d\u003d\inves.png"

2º just below the line of whatsapp code I put the timesleep(5), like this:

pywhatkit.sendwhats_image("+3532498XXXX39" ,r "C:\Users\Cliente\ipynb\inves.png")
time.sleep(5)
