Trouble with double puppeting - sent messages not appearing on bridge

[ajkessel]

I can't get messages sent from the WeChat app to show up on Matrix. I've tried both shared secret authentication as well as the login-matrix method. Other bridges (e.g. WhatsApp, iMessages) are working fine for double puppeting and posting sent messages, so I'm not sure what's difference with the WeChat bridge.

I see this in my log:

[Aug 16, 2023 02:41:26] [Puppet/wxid_k5meyls4mino12u/DEBUG] Syncing info through wxid_k5meyls4mino12u

If you are using the shared secret method, please check if the configurations for double_puppet_server_map and login_shared_secret_map in the bridge are correct.

[ajkessel]

I believe they are correct. I have the following in the wechat config.yaml:

    double_puppet_server_map:
        mydomain.net: https://matrix.mydomain.net

(My Matrix username is in the form [email protected] and the domain name for the synapse homeserver is matrix.mydomain.net)

    login_shared_secret_map:
        mydomain.net: [shared secret key that is working for other bridges]

And in homeserver.yaml I have:

modules:
   - module: shared_secret_authenticator.SharedSecretAuthProvider
     config:
       shared_secret: "[same key used above]"
       m_login_password_support_enabled: true

Am I doing something wrong?

[ajkessel]

Update -- I think I figured it out. It does seem to be working generally now that I have the shared secret configured as above. I was using a room that was a DM to myself for testing purposes and those messages aren't getting puppeted, but messages with DMs to other people are working fine, so it must be some artifact of how the bridge or WeChat handles messages to oneself.

Huh, I don't even know how WeChat client can send messages to oneself...

[ajkessel]

Yes, you can just select yourself in WeChat contacts. But in any case I think this issue can be closed.
