discord.js - Imagine a bot•9mo ago

duplicated interactions

okay i need help, because i have been hititng my head against the wall abt this for days. my interactions keep doubling as per my console logs. for background info: - there is only one instance being run - i use an event handler -> separate files for events. other events do not double - the interactionCreate event is only listened to once - this applies to every interaction, including buttons (where i noticed this issue) interactionCreate.js:

const { Events, EmbedBuilder } = require('discord.js');
const pool = require('../bot')
const config = require('../config.json')

module.exports = {
    name: Events.InteractionCreate,
    async execute(interaction) {
        console.log(`interaction type: ${interaction.type}`);
        
        if (interaction.isChatInputCommand()) {
            await handleChatCommand(interaction);
        } else if (interaction.isButton()) {
            await handleButtonInteraction(interaction);
        } else if (interaction.isAutocomplete()) {
            await handleAutocomplete(interaction);
        }
    }
};
async function handleChatCommand(interaction) {
    const command = interaction.client.commands.get(interaction.commandName);
    if (!command) {
        console.error(`No command matching ${interaction.commandName} was found.`);
        return;
    }
    await command.execute(interaction, pool);
    console.log(`${interaction.user.username} used a command | ${interaction.commandName}`);
}
async function handleButtonInteraction(interaction) {
    if (interaction.customId === 'nextPage') {
        //handle buttons. too long and not related to issue
    }
}
async function handleAutocomplete(interaction) {
    const command = interaction.client.commands.get(interaction.commandName);
    await command.autocomplete(interaction).catch(err => {
        console.log(err);
    });

    if (!interaction.deferred && !interaction.replied && interaction.isChatInputCommand()) {
        interaction.reply({
            content: `uh oh, an error occurred.`,
            ephemeral: true
        }).catch(console.error);
    }
} //added to try to mitigate issue. did not make a difference

const { Events, EmbedBuilder } = require('discord.js');
const pool = require('../bot')
const config = require('../config.json')

module.exports = {
    name: Events.InteractionCreate,
    async execute(interaction) {
        console.log(`interaction type: ${interaction.type}`);
        
        if (interaction.isChatInputCommand()) {
            await handleChatCommand(interaction);
        } else if (interaction.isButton()) {
            await handleButtonInteraction(interaction);
        } else if (interaction.isAutocomplete()) {
            await handleAutocomplete(interaction);
        }
    }
};
async function handleChatCommand(interaction) {
    const command = interaction.client.commands.get(interaction.commandName);
    if (!command) {
        console.error(`No command matching ${interaction.commandName} was found.`);
        return;
    }
    await command.execute(interaction, pool);
    console.log(`${interaction.user.username} used a command | ${interaction.commandName}`);
}
async function handleButtonInteraction(interaction) {
    if (interaction.customId === 'nextPage') {
        //handle buttons. too long and not related to issue

    const command = interaction.client.commands.get(interaction.commandName);

posted here instead as i feel its a longer issue

how do u know there's only 1 listener for interactionCreate? have u logged <Client>.listenerCount("interactionCreate")?

jamieOP•9mo ago

yeah, it returns 0 - i know that means unlimited, but this wasn't an issue until after i started working on this new branch. one command defers a reply, but i don't think that would cause this setting maxListeners to 1 also does not fix the issue

xx_lavaboy_xx123•9mo ago

i don't think 0 means unlimited, i think it means u don't have any interactionCreate event listeners added to ur client so you probably logged it before adding the listeners, u should log it wherever u log the interaction type

jamieOP•9mo ago

ah, gotcha. my bad, i assumed it was similar to maxListeners where 0 = unlimited returns 1 listener for interactionCreate it also emits the console log twice though :EGGsweat: :PLUMPblink: i think i fixed it actually...? it seems it was something in my shardingmanager file (main.js)
