kit.sendwhatmsg_instantly() sometimes not sending message about pywhatkit

[GuilhermeTiede]

I solved this sh!t, the problem is that you are running it on one monitor and the browser is opening on another, it ends up losing focus. It basically runs the code on the same monitor where you use the browser. This is all pyauto's fault...

The same thing is happening to me, with Macos Sonoma. Did you find any solution?

Just as a contribution to explain how this works, basically this is the code for almost all functions, but I will use the sendwhatmsg_instantly() as example:

def sendwhatmsg_instantly(
    phone_no: str,
    message: str,
    wait_time: int = 15,
    tab_close: bool = False,
    close_time: int = 3,
) -> None:
    """Send WhatsApp Message Instantly"""

    if not core.check_number(number=phone_no):
        raise exceptions.CountryCodeException("Country Code Missing in Phone Number!")

    web.open(f"https://web.whatsapp.com/send?phone={phone_no}&text={quote(message)}")
    time.sleep(4)
    pg.click(core.WIDTH / 2, core.HEIGHT / 2)
    time.sleep(wait_time - 4)
    pg.press("enter")
    log.log_message(_time=time.localtime(), receiver=phone_no, message=message)
    if tab_close:
        core.close_tab(wait_time=close_time)

This is on the whats.py module, the thing works as follows:

1. Opens the window like a wa.me.
2. waits for 4 seconds.
3. clicks on the center of the screen.
4. waits for the time you added to wait, less 4 seconds, to balance the time it already waited by default.
5. Presses enter
6. Logs stuff
7. closes tab if you asked to.

The main issue as @GuilhermeTiede said, is pyautogui's fault, (here as pg), what this code does is mimic a user sending a message and later closing the tab, clicking on the center of the screen to "toggle" the use of the chat (thinking you will have it on Fullscreen), so if it is not precise, like having 2 screens, having a little or cornered window, or load one more second later than the 4 it uses to estimate the load time, it just does what the Whatsapp API does, but everything else goes off-rails.

An easy way to solve the majority of the issues regarding not sending the message, it's adding more wait time (in case you detect it takes more than 4 seconds to load the webapp) and preparing everything so it goes as expected, as having the browser open up in the main screen in case you have 2 or more screens.

The real solution would be throwing away pyautogui or at least the method this library is using and use a more sophisticated method to open up the window and make Python wait until the window loads and send the message wherever your window is.

P.D. First time contributing on an issue in GH, I hope I'm doing it right.
