fix(whatsapp): reuse persistent aiohttp session across requests#3818
Merged
Conversation
Replace per-request aiohttp.ClientSession() in every WhatsApp adapter method with a single persistent self._http_session, matching the pattern used by Mattermost, HomeAssistant, and SMS adapters. Changes: - Create self._http_session in connect(), close in disconnect() - All bridge HTTP calls (send, edit, send-media, typing, get_chat_info, poll_messages) now use the shared session - Explicitly cancel _poll_task on disconnect() instead of relying solely on self._running = False - Health-check sessions in connect() remain ephemeral (persistent session not yet created at that point) - Remove per-method ImportError guards for aiohttp (always available when gateway runs via [messaging] extras) Salvaged from PR #1851 by Himess. The _poll_task storage was already on main from PR #3267; this adds the disconnect cancellation and the persistent session. Tests: 4 new tests for session close, already-closed skip, poll task cancellation, and done-task skip.

Summary
Standardizes the WhatsApp adapter to use a persistent
aiohttp.ClientSessionlike the Mattermost, HomeAssistant, and SMS adapters already do. Also adds explicit poll task cancellation on disconnect.Salvaged from PR #1851 by Himess (March 18). The
_poll_taskstorage was already on main from PR #3267; this adds the disconnect cancellation and the persistent session.Changes
