You can’t delete a message that has already been deleted

IInky You can’t delete a message that has already been deleted

electricOP•6/28/24, 9:39 AM

so the message.delete is extra?

Inky•6/28/24, 9:39 AM

This likely happens due to race conditions

Inky•6/28/24, 9:39 AM

Could be someone that deletes their message quicker than you can receive it

electricOP•6/28/24, 9:39 AM

no but like

electricOP•6/28/24, 9:39 AM

id like the bot to delete the initiative command

electricOP•6/28/24, 9:40 AM

how can I manage to do that?

Inky•6/28/24, 9:40 AM

Ur not checking if it’s a command tho

Inky•6/28/24, 9:40 AM

Ur just deleting all messages sent by users who have that role

electricOP•6/28/24, 9:40 AM

Fr? I thought Im deleting the initiative message??

electricOP•6/28/24, 9:40 AM

Ex. -(prefix)app in this case

Inky•6/28/24, 9:41 AM

It’s outside of the if statements of the commands

electricOP•6/28/24, 9:41 AM

so I should place it within the if statement?

Inky•6/28/24, 9:41 AM

That’s one way

electricOP•6/28/24, 9:41 AM

like somewhere between ln 182 and 183

Inky•6/28/24, 9:41 AM

You could also put the else clause in to return

Inky•6/28/24, 9:41 AM

Inky•6/28/24, 9:42 AM

That’ll stop the code from continuing if no command matched

Inky•6/28/24, 9:42 AM

To be safe, you can just attach a catch handler to the delete and silently ignore it

Inky•6/28/24, 9:43 AM

Well, to be really safe would be to ensure that the error message is Unknown Message, rethrow if it’s not

Inky•6/28/24, 9:43 AM

Up to you if you want to go that far. .catch(…) handler is bare minimum

IInky Up to you if you want to go that far. .catch(…) handler is bare minimum

electricOP•6/28/24, 9:46 AM

here's the issue even if I deleted the delete statement it will still delete the initiative command

electricOP•6/28/24, 9:46 AM

why's that?

Inky•6/28/24, 9:46 AM

Error occurred elsewhere

electricOP•6/28/24, 9:46 AM

im pretty sure it's here tho since if i deleted this, my bot will work perfectly fine

Inky•6/28/24, 9:47 AM

I thought you said it still errors after removing it?

Inky•6/28/24, 9:47 AM

Oh, I misread

Inky•6/28/24, 9:48 AM

Delete is happening elsewhere

electricOP•6/28/24, 9:48 AM

see if i do this my bot will not crash

Inky•6/28/24, 9:48 AM

Can you stop/kill the bot and see if it still deletes the message?

Inky•6/28/24, 9:48 AM

Could be running another instance of the bot

electricOP•6/28/24, 9:49 AM

nope it won't delete

electricOP•6/28/24, 9:49 AM

it's the bot

electricOP•6/28/24, 9:49 AM

if I send the full file will that help?

Inky•6/28/24, 9:50 AM

Just look for another message.delete in ur code

electricOP•6/28/24, 9:50 AM

therre is another one but

electricOP•6/28/24, 9:50 AM

it's in another

electricOP•6/28/24, 9:50 AM

section

electricOP•6/28/24, 9:50 AM

will that affect this section>>?

electricOP•6/28/24, 9:51 AM

like it's not in the same if nested statement

Inky•6/28/24, 9:51 AM

It could have the same issue as the code you originally showed has

electricOP•6/28/24, 9:51 AM

it doesn't tho

electricOP•6/28/24, 9:51 AM

it works perfectly fine for that section

electricOP•6/28/24, 9:51 AM

that's when the confusion hits

Inky•6/28/24, 9:51 AM

Try commenting out the message.delete

electricOP•6/28/24, 9:52 AM

for the section I ssed or the another one

electricOP•6/28/24, 9:53 AM

It still crashed if I commented out both message delete @New Year's Predicate

electricOP•6/28/24, 9:53 AM

can I conclude that isn't about deleting?
