[indigo vale]

You're editing a non-existent reply?

[hard locust]

https://github.com/eyal282/Chess-ELO-Discord-Bot/blob/replit/index.js#L401

It's properly defered as promised.

Line 401 sends you to the first file

[indigo vale]

What are you trying to edit

[hard locust]

The defered interaction

[indigo vale]

You're just editing a reply that doesn't exist

[hard locust]

When I defer the interaction, what's the way to edit it then?

Because this thing worked for a year.

[indigo vale]

You reply to the message first (where the reply has content), then you can edit that

[hard locust]

I'm not exactly following? What message?

[indigo vale]

Interaction* my bad

[hard locust]

Is defering not treated as a reply?

[indigo vale]

It is.. But you're not replying anything

[hard locust]

I reply in the end

[indigo vale]

No you're editing the reply

that doesn't exist

[hard locust]

The reply is the defer

This is why I used to get "Reply already sent or deferred" when using interaction.reply

await interaction.deferReply();
await wait(4000);
await interaction.editReply('Pong!');

This is basically what I'm doing

This is taken from DJS guide

https://discordjs.guide/slash-commands/response-methods.html#deferred-responses

[indigo vale]

I'll help ya out:
await interaction.reply({})
Then, in user-ping.js
interaction.editReply().

I don't understand why you're doing this though. Why don't you just reply in the user-ping.js

[hard locust]

Because I cannot guarantee it takes 4 seconds

For ping I can

For other commands I cannot

So deferReply is illegal now?

[indigo vale]

What are you trying to do

[hard locust]

I'm trying to make this happen:

Then edit it

It works, but the edit doesn't

[indigo vale]

Well you can't edit that...?

That's just discord sending a message like "Yo the bot has received your interaction it's now processing it"

[hard locust]

I'm trying, it won't work

Yes

I want to process it

[indigo vale]

No because you can't

[hard locust]

With .editReply

Wym you can't?

How do I let the user know I finished processing it?

[indigo vale]

This is not your reply

Just use interaction.reply({}) in your code, no reason to edit a non-existent thing

[hard locust]

DiscordAPIError[50006]: Cannot send an empty message

Which is not surprising for me

[indigo vale]

Add content to the message then

[hard locust]

I don't have a content to add to the message until I finish my calculations

[indigo vale]

That's why you put interaction.reply({}) at the end of your code?

[hard locust]

I don't

[indigo vale]

Man if you're refusing to learn I can't help you

[hard locust]

I'm trying to make the mechanism of "Deferred replies" work again

Not trying to send empty replies

[indigo vale]

why are you sending empty replies then

[hard locust]

Where?

[indigo vale]

Here...

[hard locust]

That's your code, not mine

[indigo vale]

I have not given you any code

[hard locust]

^ That is incorrect

[indigo vale]

You have to fill in what you want to reply...

Ofcourse you can't reply with nothing

[hard locust]

I want to defer, then edit it.

[coarse swift]

InteractionReplyOptions
Options for a reply to an [Interaction](<https://discord.js.org/#/docs/discord.js/stable/class/Interaction>).

[hard locust]

await interaction.deferReply({ ephemeral: true }).catch(() => null);

interaction.editReply({embeds: [embed], ephemeral: true})

Is this code not okay?

[indigo vale]

Not for what you're trying to do

[hard locust]

I want to "Chess ELO Role is thinking..."

And then, edit the "Chess ELO Role is thinking..." with my response.

How?

"Chess ELO Role is thinking..." works, but editing it won't work

[indigo vale]

then put the deferReply inside your user-ping.js command?

[hard locust]

Why?

[indigo vale]

Because you're trying to edit something that doesn't exist

[hard locust]

https://github.com/eyal282/Chess-ELO-Discord-Bot/blob/replit/index.js#L401

Line 401 will send you to https://github.com/eyal282/Chess-ELO-Discord-Bot/blob/replit/commands-ephemeral/user-ping.js

[indigo vale]

you need to deferReply inside your command code, not in interactionCreate

[hard locust]

Why does it matter?

I send that interaction to the code anyways

[indigo vale]

^

[hard locust]

But it's the same variable

It doesn't change

[indigo vale]

Go on and argue

[hard locust]

And if I do it it'll work?

[indigo vale]

Well try it

[hard locust]

It may give an error on the fact I'm deferring twice

[indigo vale]

Then don't defer twice

remove the line in interactionCreate

And put it in your command code

[hard locust]

Won't work, won't give error

[indigo vale]

Show me your code

[hard locust]

Screenshare?

I'm using replit

https://replit.com/@Chess-ELO-Role-Bot/chess-elo-discord-bot#index.js

[indigo vale]

You can just paste it in here

[hard locust]

module.exports = {
    data: new SlashCommandBuilder()
        .setName('ping')
        .setDescription('Lag of the Bot'),
    async execute(client, interaction, settings, goodies) {
        //let ephemeral = interaction.options.getBoolean('ephemeral');

        let embed = undefined;
        let row = undefined;
        let attachment = undefined;

        embed = new EmbedBuilder({
            description: `🏓Latency is ${Date.now() -
                interaction.createdTimestamp}ms. API Latency is ${Math.round(
                client.ws.ping
            )}ms\nBot is running for ${jsGay.getTimeDifference(
                jsGay.bootDate,
                new Date()
            )}`
        }).setColor(0x0099ff);

        await interaction.deferReply({ ephemeral: true }).catch(() => null);
        interaction.editReply({ embeds: [embed], ephemeral: true });
        interaction.channel.send({ content: 'This is an embed' });
    }
};

Once you give a working solution, I will ignore everything related to the .deferReply you said, and it'll work flawlessly, because it doesn't matter when I defer it, as long as I defer it.

But I guess it helps for debugging

[indigo vale]

What is the point of deferring a reply if you're not waiting inbetween it?

[hard locust]

It makes no sense if it's done inside the code, but I'll write .deferReply many many many times

I simply put the deferReply outside the code block, because I ALWAYS defer it

Why won't it work?

[indigo vale]

You're not waiting anywhere..

[indigo vale]

Answer this question

[hard locust]

This is for optimization of the code

But I cannot get this thing through your head, as you claim I'm editting a non deferred reply

I need to solve it.

Does it matter that I'm not waiting?

[indigo vale]

Yes...

https://discordjs.guide/slash-commands/response-methods.html#deferred-responses

[hard locust]

Does not work

await interaction.deferReply({ ephemeral: true }).catch(() => null);

        await wait(4000);
        interaction.editReply({ embeds: [embed], ephemeral: true });
        interaction.channel.send({ content: 'This is an embed' });```

The edit is clearly called after 4 seconds, as shown in the image

[indigo vale]

What is EmbedBuilder here?

Also catching to null is never a great idea when debugging

[hard locust]

Do you want me to simplify it into an easier to understand?

[indigo vale]

Try just sending a string

Also catch into console.log instead of just voiding it

[hard locust]

Error [InteractionAlreadyReplied]: The reply to this interaction has already been sent or deferred.

As promised, you're pretending I didn't defer it in the original code, but I did.

I'll remove the deferReply you told me to add, because you're telling me to defer it twice, which is illegal

[indigo vale]

[indigo vale]

^

I already told you lol

[hard locust]

You told me to defer twice, you just didn't believe I deferred the first time, by telling me I'm "trying to reply to something that doesn't exist"

I had 1 defers

[indigo vale]

Whatever you think man, if you can't stand it when someone is helping you then tell me. If you don't understand what I'm saying then tell me

[hard locust]

I need you to concentrate on the issue

.editReply won't work

No errors

I removed the .catch, thanks for that, let's see...

[weak matrix]

I suspect you are getting ratelimited
If you use client.rest.on("rateLimited", console.log), do you get output?

[hard locust]

Again not working, no errors.

[hard locust]

Unfortunately not.

[weak matrix]

You didn't put it in any other listeners right?

[hard locust]

"ratelimited" yields 1 result across index.js and util.js

[weak matrix]

?

[hard locust]

The word "rateLimited" does not appear anywhere on the code, except the one you sent me.

[weak matrix]

But did you put the rateLimited listener inside another listener?

like in a command

[hard locust]

Of course not lmaooo

That would break everything

[weak matrix]

And your debug logs have no 429s?

I don't think

[weak matrix]

Those are all the logs after the attempted editReply?

[hard locust]

No

a
(node:5425) DeprecationWarning: BaseInteraction#isSelectMenu() is deprecated. Use BaseInteraction#isStringSelectMenu() instead.
b
c

a is start of "interactionCreate"

b is before executing the command, going into the file of the command

c is complete excution of the file of the command

https://github.com/eyal282/Chess-ELO-Discord-Bot/blob/replit/commands-ephemeral/user-ping.js

When c is printed, and it is, this file is completely properly done

and it's printed after 4 seconds

await wait(4000);

I really hate DJS

Why won't it edit the reply?

My DJS is 14.7.0 instead of 14.7.1

I'll update, sure.

[hard locust]

Absolutely stuck, no solution. DJS is broken

[weak matrix]

Hmm

Could you put a log above the editReply, and below it
and make sure the editReply is awaited

[hard locust]

There is, it's just on the interactionCreate.

[hard locust]

Done, it stops at editReply

It eventually edited the command

Took like 2 minutes until it worked

Why is this delay so massive?

[weak matrix]

There's no way you aren't ratelimited

[hard locust]

I'll kill the process then..

I really need a way to know if I'm rate limited.

[weak matrix]

debug and rateLimited events should be telling you

[hard locust]

They didn't :(

[weak matrix]

Could you show me the listeners

oh this looks like you're using replit

99.9% sure it's a ratelimit

[hard locust]

Every second a bug shows up and disappears
