var qrcode = require('qrcode-terminal');
const client = new Client();

client.on('qr', (qr) => {

console.log('QR RECEIVED');
});

client.on('ready', () => {
console.log('Client is ready!');
});

client.initialize();

This was fixed my issue

npm r whatsapp-web.js

set this version in package.json "whatsapp-web.js": "https://github.com/Julzk/whatsapp-web.js/tarball/jkr_hotfix_7"

npm install

I found in the official github the fix the issue, the solution is here: in summary you need to modify the file client.js in the node_modules/whatsapp-web.js/src/client.js

change the line 175 replace this:

 const INTRO_IMG_SELECTOR = 'div[role=\'textbox\']'; //'[data-icon=\'chat\']';
