How do I listen for reactions on all messages in a channel?

doing discord bot dev after a long time. i wanted to listen for message reactions on every message in a channel and run a db query in the run function. but for some reason i can't even get a simple log to work rn. what am i doing wrong here?

// src/listeners/reaction.ts

import { ApplyOptions } from "@sapphire/decorators";
import { Events, Listener } from "@sapphire/framework";

@ApplyOptions<Listener.Options>({
  event: Events.MessageReactionAdd,
  enabled: true,
  once: false,
  name: "reaction",
})
export class UserEvent extends Listener {
  public async run() {
    const { logger } = this.container;
    logger.info("Reaction added");
  }
}

// src/listeners/reaction.ts

import { ApplyOptions } from "@sapphire/decorators";
import { Events, Listener } from "@sapphire/framework";

@ApplyOptions<Listener.Options>({
  event: Events.MessageReactionAdd,
  enabled: true,
  once: false,
  name: "reaction",
})
export class UserEvent extends Listener {
  public async run() {
    const { logger } = this.container;
    logger.info("Reaction added");
  }
}

Solution:

Do you have the GuildMessageReactions Intent enabled? And that event only triggers on cached messages so you would also need to enable the partials for reaction and I believe message....

And that event only triggers on cached messages so you would also need to enable the partials for reaction and I believe message.

what does this mean exactly?

cached messages are messages that has been sent after the bot is online, so once you restart the bot the previous messages are no longer cached

ah interesting for this bot i def have to keep checking the reactions for old messages as well is there a way to do that if the bot went offline for some time?
