How to properly handle UserErrors?
I'm using the official sapphire template and want to throw a UserError inside a context menu command.
How do I correctly handle the error and send a message to the user?
I saw
contextMenuCommandDenied.ts and thought that would handle it but I don't get a response and the error is shown in the logs.2 Replies
contextMenuCommandDenied is for precondition denials for context menu commands. Errors go in the error events. The full list of which can be found here: https://www.sapphirejs.dev/docs/Documentation/api-framework/#events.
That said, that doesn't mean they aren't UserErrors. UserError is just a class that extends Error, it doesn't say anything of where it is thrown. You can check other bots to see how they handle errors.Discord bots that use @sapphire/framework v4
