Error with the function client.getStatus('000000000000@c.us');

I tried to simulate the execution of the function client.getStatus('XXXXXX@c.us') but it throws the error Failed to retrieve status of XXXXXXXX: a.isLid is not a function.

The intention is to obtain the status of the contact, whether they are online or not.

It does seem like this call is broken inside WhatsApp code.

Try using

await client.getChatIsOnline(chatId)

but, got to admit, I could never get that to return true

Thanks for your contribution @ghayman. I tested this function, and unfortunately it doesn't work either.
