discord.js - Imagine an app•2mo ago

My collector isn't triggering, but is being created. There are no errors in console.

Hello everyone. I have a slash command script that allows people to host giveaways in a local boardgame club I am a part of. In my script I have two button interaction collectors. The first one to trigger is to confirm that the person has read the rules that show up on an embed. This collector works great. The second collector that triggers is for when someone inputs a date that does not follow the regex in the script to error check before sending the message. This collector gets created properly (I think) but does not see any button presses, and I am not sure why. The collector I am having issues with is created on line 28. My script: https://pastebin.com/J84GRdH8 There are no errors, no stack traces, and no promise rejections. I am running 14.17.3 D.js and node 20.11.1.

Pass fetchReply: true to your reply options Alternatively, the better option is using withResponse: true if you have latest d.js which will return InteractionCallbackResponse, which returns the created message, so you can do <response>.resources.message.createMessageComponentCollector() Also await is useless there

d.js docs•2mo ago

:class: InteractionCallbackResponse [email protected] Represents an interaction's response :property: InteractionCallbackResponse#resource [email protected] The resource that was created by the interaction response

So I got it to work with fetchReply: true, but I am confused by the better options. Heres what lines 25 and 28 look like now:

const retryMessage = interaction.reply({ content: 'The date you entered is not in the correct format. Please click the button to try again.', components: [actionRow], withResponse: true, flags: MessageFlags.Ephemeral });

const retryCollector = await retryMessage.resources.message.createMessageCollector({ componentType: ComponentType.Button, time: 1000 * 60 * 3 });

const retryMessage = interaction.reply({ content: 'The date you entered is not in the correct format. Please click the button to try again.', components: [actionRow], withResponse: true, flags: MessageFlags.Ephemeral });

const retryCollector = await retryMessage.resources.message.createMessageCollector({ componentType: ComponentType.Button, time: 1000 * 60 * 3 });

I am not sure why this is better, either. Is it just because fetchReply is deprecated?

Yes, it'll be removed in v15, that should work

BoxWithoutOP•2mo ago

I am getting the error: TypeError: Cannot read properties of undefined (reading 'message') The error is on line 28, or line 3 in that code block

NyR•2mo ago

Can you log retryMessage ?

BoxWithoutOP•2mo ago

Yeah will do It returns a promise XD I am gonna put await back in and see what happens

NyR•2mo ago

Oh right, yeah you need to resolve the promise, the await i was talking about is for creating the collector, it's not async

BoxWithoutOP•2mo ago

Oh right, good point. I am having trouble copying the error for whatever reason. Let me try doing it from bash instead of portainer

It's because it's resource not resources Also, it's createMessageComponentCollector() not createMessageCollector(). It's working now! Thank you for your help! I will remove the extra await XD
