Weird issue with GuildMemberUpdate event

i'm running into a really weird issue with the guildMemberUpdate event when adding a role: For some reason the nickname is null on the oldMember, whilst having one set The newMember does have a nickname, and since i check for nicnkame updates by comparing <GuildMember>.displayName, the bot thinks the nickname has updated while it has not.

When adding a role, this is what console.log(oldMember.nickname, newMember.nickname) returns https://bork.treble-is-fluffy.gay/floofd140de03.png Full code:

 async execute(oldMember: GuildMember, newMember: GuildMember){
        if(oldMember.partial) await oldMember.fetch();
        console.log(oldMember.nickname, newMember.nickname)
        
        const c =  newMember.client.channels.cache.get('980917365162258464');
        if(!c?.isTextBased()) return
        let eb = new EmbedBuilder().setColor('Aqua')

        console.log(oldMember.displayName, newMember.displayName)

        if(oldMember.displayName != newMember.displayName) { 
        //rest of the logging logic

 async execute(oldMember: GuildMember, newMember: GuildMember){
        if(oldMember.partial) await oldMember.fetch();
        console.log(oldMember.nickname, newMember.nickname)
        
        const c =  newMember.client.channels.cache.get('980917365162258464');
        if(!c?.isTextBased()) return
        let eb = new EmbedBuilder().setColor('Aqua')

        console.log(oldMember.displayName, newMember.displayName)

        if(oldMember.displayName != newMember.displayName) { 
        //rest of the logging logic

Its also really unstable, it always happens after a restart (when oldMember is a partial and is fetched), but sometimes it also happens when i remove the role that i added

i dont think my embed code would be the culprit but sending just in case

       eb.addFields({
        name:  "Old name",
        value:  oldMember.displayName
       }, {
        name: "New name",
        value:  newMember.displayName
       })
           c.send({embeds: [eb]})
        }

       eb.addFields({
        name:  "Old name",
        value:  oldMember.displayName
       }, {
        name: "New name",
        value:  newMember.displayName
       })
           c.send({embeds: [eb]})
        }

tried on 14.11, same issue

souji•16mo ago

client.on("guildMemberUpdate", (om, nm) => om.displayName !== nm.displayName && channel.send(`om: ${om.displayName} nm: ${nm.displayName}`))

client.on("guildMemberUpdate", (om, nm) => om.displayName !== nm.displayName && channel.send(`om: ${om.displayName} nm: ${nm.displayName}`))

i attached that listener and i cannot reproduce the issue how exactly are you reproducing it? add a role to a member?

treble/lunaOP•16mo ago

the user has a nickname set for the server, and i'm adding the role right after the bot restarts

souji•16mo ago

so the member is uncached?

treble/lunaOP•16mo ago

the member is uncached, but since the oldMember is a partial i fetch first

souji•16mo ago

ah, so you have the member partial

treble/lunaOP•16mo ago

yee

souji•16mo ago

kinda relevant

treble/lunaOP•16mo ago

sorry, should have mentioned

souji•16mo ago

how do you even expect this to work? you are fetching the oldMember - which will fetch the newest state from the API and then compare it to the new member?

treble/lunaOP•16mo ago

yes, but i never update the nickname from the oldMember, but it still returns null while having one set

souji•16mo ago

i can somewhat reproduce it, in that i got [dev-application] | treble/luna >> luna🌈 when i added a role to you that's odd, but still, that approach cannot work you are fetching the member from the API AFTER you received an update in doing so you will lose the state from before the update, which we retrieve from the cahce and emit as old member in this event. if there was none, then there is none, fetching it won't change that, it will be the newest state from the API

treble/lunaOP•16mo ago

ah, still weird that it returns null though. I did managed to bypass it by using the auditlog event instead

souji•16mo ago

so you are comparing the newest api state to the updated (new) member now, why that display name change, i do not understand - yet the partial member has null as nick before the update, that makes sense after fetching the partial, it still has null as nickname, that makes no sense the member being you

treble/lunaOP•16mo ago

yeah thats what i'm wondering. i've also noticed that 14.11 also does this

souji•16mo ago

-ev msg.guild.members.fetch("455777603706421249", {force: true}).then(m => m.nickname)

fetching patches the existing cached object, so at the point of fetching, the old member isn't the cached member so oldMember doesn't get updated

souji•16mo ago

how does that even interact with the cloning? we clone old member to emit it, what if you call fetch on that one

[🪐] KNK•16mo ago

guys how is possible to see the colours in the code??

d.js docs•16mo ago

Codeblocks: ```js const Discord = require("discord.js"); // further code ``` becomes

const Discord = require("discord.js"); 
// further code

const Discord = require("discord.js"); 
// further code

Inline Code: `console.log('inline!');` becomes console.log('inline!');

souji•16mo ago

okay, so the old member is still partial, so the null nickname makes sense -ev console.log("+++++++++++++") -ev msg.guild.members.cache.clear() which also changes the displayName getter, makes sense solved Wiggle

thanks qjuh, duck
