Guild Member cache doesn't contain all users

[dry wedge]

Hey, I'm not too sure why but when I check the member cache of a specific guild, I can only see 1 user (My bot account itself) but not other users.
My guild has two users in it, one is the bot and one is myself

const guild = await client.guilds.cache.get(process.env.DISCORD_GUILD_ID);
    console.log(guild); // Correctly finds guild
    const member = await guild.members.cache.get(discordID);
    console.log(guild.members.cache) // Shows Collection(1) with my bot only

The discord account has access to view the members because I use this same bot account to do this in another script I run.
My intents also match the working bot script I have:

    const client = new Client({ intents: [GatewayIntentBits.Guilds, GatewayIntentBits.GuildMembers, GatewayIntentBits.GuildIntegrations] });

Discord does not guarantee you all members in the initial guild data.
You might (read: probably always) need to fetch them manually, if you care about having them all synced.
You can do so through GuildMemberManager#fetch.

If I understand correctly, I can fetch() to get all users, then the cache should be up to date enough that I can trust it to contain all the data present at the time of the fetch?

[hexed moat]

Yeah, it should stay updated, fetching again will short-circuit though (as all members are cached).

[dry wedge]

It throws an error if there's nothing new fetched?

[hexed moat]

No, it will just resolve if all members are fetched.

[dry wedge]

Ah okay

Thanks I'll give it a go

[hexed moat]

Looks like the behaviour changed (probably with v14) and it will no longer short-circuit.

Hmm now I have a new issue

    const guild = await client.guilds.cache.get(process.env.DISCORD_GUILD_ID);
    await guild.members.fetch()
    const member = await guild.members.cache.get(discordID);
    console.log(guild.members.cache) // Shows Collection(2) with my bot twice

After doing a fetch, my cache contains two users. But both of them are the bot itself and it still doesn't contain my user

[hexed moat]

They should have different keys though, as otherwise you'd only have one member.
This seems odd.

Can you try it in a minimal and clean environment?
So no other dependencies aside from discord.js and just the code to start the bot and fetch members along with logging stuff.

Sorry... False alarm 😅

I don't even want to explain how I managed to confuse that

Looks like it's all working, thanks
