Ignoring Precondition Failures

I'm working on a precondition that I wanna ignore on the ChatInputCommandDenied listener. The documentation suggests to a add information on the context in the Precondition

export class MyDummyPreconditions extends Precondition {
  chatInputRun(
    interaction: ChatInputCommandInteraction,
    command: ChatInputCommand,
    context: Precondition.Context
  ): Precondition.Result {
    return this.error({ message: 'Ignored message', context: { silent: true } });
  }
}

export class MyDummyPreconditions extends Precondition {
  chatInputRun(
    interaction: ChatInputCommandInteraction,
    command: ChatInputCommand,
    context: Precondition.Context
  ): Precondition.Result {
    return this.error({ message: 'Ignored message', context: { silent: true } });
  }
}

and check for it in ChatInputCommandDenied.

export class ChatInputCommandDeniedListener extends Listener<typeof Events.ChatInputCommandDenied> {
  public async run({ context, message: content }: UserError, { interaction }: ChatInputCommandDeniedPayload) {
    if (Reflect.get(Object(context), 'silent')) return;

    if (interaction.deferred || interaction.replied) {
      return interaction.editReply({
        content,
        allowedMentions: { users: [interaction.user.id], roles: [] }
      });
    }

    return interaction.reply({
      content,
      allowedMentions: { users: [interaction.user.id], roles: [] },
      ephemeral: true
    });
  }
}

export class ChatInputCommandDeniedListener extends Listener<typeof Events.ChatInputCommandDenied> {
  public async run({ context, message: content }: UserError, { interaction }: ChatInputCommandDeniedPayload) {
    if (Reflect.get(Object(context), 'silent')) return;

    if (interaction.deferred || interaction.replied) {
      return interaction.editReply({
        content,
        allowedMentions: { users: [interaction.user.id], roles: [] }
      });
    }

    return interaction.reply({
      content,
      allowedMentions: { users: [interaction.user.id], roles: [] },
      ephemeral: true
    });
  }
}

That works but I realized that the interaction response will be:

The application did not respond

Is that expected or did I miss something?

Solution:

Only button ones can update a message with the same content and be fine

you're not. Interactions have to be replied to. I never really thought about it but yeah the guide needs to be adjusted for that. Not sure what the proper fix would be. Not sure if interaction.reply() works... @Vladdy can interactions just be acknowledged but without an actual reply to the user?

no interactions NEED to send something

I suppose the least you can send then is a single zero width space but probably to just reply something then, but reply ephemeral so it's only visible to the user

Thanks that is what I’m doing just wanna check if the docs miss something

Favna•2y ago

don't suppose you can make a PR to adjust that bit of text in the guide @danielpassos ? Would save me doing it haha
