Collector.on('collect') not collecting for createMessageComponentCollector.

I'm having trouble figuring out why my bot wont fire on Collector.on('collect'). I tried putting a console.log('test') in there but it's never registering. Any idea how to fix this?

const response = await modalSubmission.reply({ embeds: [pollEmbed], components: [row] });

        const collector = response.createMessageComponentCollector({ componentType: ComponentType.Button, time: 15_000 });

        collector.on('collect', i => {
            if (i.user.id === interaction.user.id) {
                i.reply(`${i.user.id} clicked on the ${i.customId} button.`);
            } else {
                i.reply({ content: `These buttons aren't for you!`, ephemeral: true });
            }
        });

const response = await modalSubmission.reply({ embeds: [pollEmbed], components: [row] });

        const collector = response.createMessageComponentCollector({ componentType: ComponentType.Button, time: 15_000 });

        collector.on('collect', i => {
            if (i.user.id === interaction.user.id) {
                i.reply(`${i.user.id} clicked on the ${i.customId} button.`);
            } else {
                i.reply({ content: `These buttons aren't for you!`, ephemeral: true });
            }
        });

Pass fetchReply: true to the reply option

to which one the ones inside the collector?

To your modal submission reply

PenitentOP•9mo ago

const response = await modalSubmission.reply({ embeds: [pollEmbed], components: [row], fetchReply: true });

const response = await modalSubmission.reply({ embeds: [pollEmbed], components: [row], fetchReply: true });

like this?

Yes

ahhhh that fixed it! thank you so much! can I ask why it's necessary to have fetchReply there? what does fetchReply do exactly? and would this have been necessary had it not been a modal?

Because the promise returns InteractionResponse which is slightly different than a Message, fetchReply makes sure it returns a message, although it should also create a collector on the InteractionResponse (since there is a method in it too), i think that's an issue that needs fixing (I'm not too sure about this)

ahhh I understand, thank you so much for the help!
