Problem with using BuildHistorySync to get on demand chat history

[kavyald]

Trying to get on demand history for a chat. The log shows that the history sync request is being sent. However, the historysync event handler is not receiving any events. Has anyone been able to successfully call BuildHistorySyncRequest? Am I missing something?

Here is a snippet of code that builds and sends the request using SendMessage.

// Parse the chat JID
chatJID, err := types.ParseJID(req.Chat)
if err != nil {
	s.Respond(w, r, http.StatusBadRequest, errors.New("Invalid chat JID"))
	return
}

// Create message info for the history sync request
msgInfo := &types.MessageInfo{
	ID: req.MessageID,
	MessageSource: types.MessageSource{
		Chat:     chatJID,
		IsFromMe: req.IsFromMe,
	},
	Timestamp: time.UnixMilli(req.Timestamp),
}

// Build the history sync request
historyMsg := clientPointer[userid].BuildHistorySyncRequest(msgInfo, req.MessageCount)
// Send the history sync request and wait for the response
_, err = clientPointer[userid].SendMessage(context.Background(), chatJID, historyMsg, whatsmeow.SendRequestExtra{Peer: true})
if err != nil {
	s.Respond(w, r, http.StatusInternalServerError, fmt.Errorf("Failed to send history sync request: %v", err))
	return
}

response := map[string]interface{}{
	"Details": "History sync request sent successfully",
}
