Editing message buttons

[little orchid]

Making a thread so others aren't as confused by who you're talking to :P

I also realized I'm braindead and both errors are not occurring at the same time.

This code produces this error:

async function confirmPrompt(message, time) {
    const confirmButtons = new MessageActionRow()
    .addComponents(
        new MessageButton()
            .setCustomId('confirm')
            .setLabel('Confirm')
            .setStyle('SUCCESS')
            .setDisabled(true),
        new MessageButton()
            .setCustomId('cancel')
            .setLabel('Cancel')
            .setStyle('DANGER')
            .setDisabled(true)
    );
    
    // No need to check for author because the message is ephemeral
    return await message.awaitMessageComponent({
        filter: (i) => i.customId == "confirm" || i.customId == "cancel",
        time: time,
        componentType: 'BUTTON'
    }).then((interaction) => {
        interaction.update({
            components: [ confirmButtons ]
        });

        if (interaction.customId == "confirm") {
            return "confirm";
        } else {
            return "cancel";
        }
    })
    .catch(() => {
        message.edit({
            components: [ confirmButtons ]
        });
        return "cancel";
    })
}

  }
}

Changing the

.catch(() => {
    message.edit({
        components: [ confirmButtons ]
    });
    return "cancel";
})

to

.catch((message) => {
    message.edit({
        components: [ confirmButtons ]
    });
    return "cancel";
})

throws

dapi error stack traces are stupid as always

the second way isn't valid anyway

so you can ignore it for now

[little orchid]

👍

[gusty cedar]

can you log message in the catch please

[little orchid]

[gusty cedar]

[little orchid]

My message collector is working though, so it's definitely defined

[gusty cedar]

so you wanna tell me that it logged empty

[little orchid]

Precisely!

I suppose I could in theory just edit the buttons outside of the function (although i'd rather do it inside)...

[gusty cedar]

I'm honest

I dont get it

it works when I test it

[little orchid]

The only difference between us is mine is getting called by a slash command, and the message that is fetched is a reply to it. (and it is ephemeral)

I don't see why any of this should affect it though

[gusty cedar]

did you just say

its ephemeral

[little orchid]

yes

you can edit ephemeral messages right?

I mean, if I do click a button it does work

in the .then()

so editing buttons on an ephemeral message is possible

[gusty cedar]

no

updating using an interaction is a different thing

[little orchid]

I thought you could edit them, just not delete them...

So...

[gusty cedar]

you can edit them, through an interaction

not through a message

[little orchid]

with this in mind

is it not possible to disable these buttons?

[gusty cedar]

if its an ephemeral reply and you dont click the button, no

[little orchid]

I see

Well, that's an oof

Thanks for the help

[gusty cedar]

wait

is it a followup or the initial reply

[little orchid]

the message the buttons are attached to?

[gusty cedar]

yes

[little orchid]

initial reply

[gusty cedar]

then you can use the interaction

interaction.editReply()

[little orchid]

Will try

omg it works

Thank you so much

I've spent the last two hours working on this 🤯

[gusty cedar]

yk, you could have told me that with the ephemeral reply and slash command first

[little orchid]

in a comment for the code i posted was // No need to check for author because the message is ephemeral

I thought you knew :P

I will be more explicit next time lol

[gusty cedar]

well how should I know, all I see is a variable called "message" xD

[little orchid]

Fair enough

Have a good night!

Thanks again!

[gusty cedar]

you too

I will go take a huge shit after this

and then sleep

[little orchid]

lmao
