thread.archived returning incorrect boolean

[slender compass]

I'm using the threadUpdate event to check when a forum post gets automatically archived. I then compare oldThread and newThread to check if it has gotten archived:

  name: "threadUpdate",
  async execute(oldThread, newThread) {
    if (oldThread.archived === newThread.archived) return;
    if (newThread.archived === true) {
      //do stuff
    }
  }
}```
Sometimes the bot just execute what's inside the if even if it's not archived, sometimes even after a new message in an active post.

How is that even possible? Is there something I'm missing?

node: v18.12.1

• What's your exact discord.js npm list discord.js and node node -v version?
• Post the full error stack trace, not just the top part!
• Show your code!
• Explain what exactly your issue is.
• Not a discord.js issue? Check out #useful-servers.

I found this. It's from a few months back and never got answered, so no idea if that was true or got fixed. Anyway, even in this case, newThread.archived shouldn't be true.

So what you're saying is when a forum post gets archived, newThread#archived is false, when it should be true?

[slender compass]

No. The post is not archived, we are chatting, and newThread#archived looks to be true as the if gets executed.

It probably is archived

[slender compass]

How is that possible? Afaik discord only archives after inactivity. And there is no setArchived in the bot.

[maiden sand]

Dunno, but this is all the code we have of it. If it's changing, it's because Discord sent it

😩 I hate discord

Will add a bunch of console.logs and check if I see something weird.
