development

[lyric mountain]

I mean, timezones and stuff

[frigid robin]

😅

[lyric mountain]

everything about "making a process think it can use more ram than you physically have" is a bad idea

offbrand pendrive vendors used to do that all the time, look what happened to ur data

[boreal iron]

If that would only work for my cars

[lyric mountain]

lmao

try putting water in your tank so it thinks it still have fuel

[boreal iron]

[wooden ember]

bruh theres a reason they recomend a lower end ram limit most of the time.

like yeah technically you can run the game under spec lamost always it will jsut run like shit since you have assets and crap moving in and out of ram all the time

beamng doent enforce you have more than 2gb

but you will have all kinds of graphical issues with 1g

was a fun time

had to use only modded maps that where small

in short yeah if you can get a resorce intensive game to open on low specs its a lottery

my old hd7770 got 25fps in the latest beamng cuz the vram was always full in most small maps

now have a gtx760, its not much more powerfull but has more vram so fps is buttery now

[wheat mesa]

You…know what requirements are… right?

If the game cannot allocate the textures because your GPU doesn’t have enough left of course you’re going to have texture bugs… that’s how a GPU works

I’m surprised it didn’t crash your game entirely

[lyric mountain]

I mean, it IS allocating, or at least it think it is lmao

[wheat mesa]

If he’s having weird texture bugs the likelihood is that the GPU is rejecting any sort of allocations to it until it can free some memory up

[boreal iron]

_just lower the graphic settings from poor to poorest or better black and white without textures _

[wheat mesa]

I suppose it doesn’t crash because allocations on the GPU failing aren’t really “crash worthy” since it’s not critical to the core process

Plus texture bugs happen all the time in big games like that so they’re designed to handle allocations failing on the VRAM

[wooden ember]

i mean it could be if its not crashing that all the textures on the lowest settings are lower than 1gig the restriction is just there cuz the devs are lazy and dont want to deal with complaints of shit not loading properly in som instances

[feral aspen]

Well, long story short, I already have my website have an A record with a let's encrypt certificate, however, I now started hosting node.js website applications and I think it's not working due to already being a certificate, present. Also, my main website is via Plesk but the node.js application is via a VPS.

[wheat mesa]

Doubtful. It’s probably less than 1gb because of other processes using it but the limit to how much GTA is allowed to take up is likely filled

Information stored on the GPU’s VRAM is mostly vertex buffers and such, which are only for efficiency when rendering the same textures over and over, so not much critical data other than some other stuff is stored there

[wooden ember]

why is it that when i disconect my servers internet when my bot is in vc it just hard crashes? is that normal? the error originates from "unhandled error event" in "discord.js/voice/dist/index.js"

[wheat mesa]

Because you lost connection to the outside world? Seems pretty unrecoverable from a library standpoint to me

[wooden ember]

bruh my net went out for a week and when it came back up no errors

but vc just kills it?>

and if thats normal why is there a section on the d.js docs on how to try to reconnect a vc session if its just gonna die befor youy can do shit

reference:

https://discordjs.guide/voice/voice-connections.html#handling-disconnects

[sharp geyser]

Yes but you are essentially just managing the channel itself

so it makes little sense to be able to mess with roles as a whole

What if you want them to be able to change channel perms but not roles/create roles with more perms than needed

[wheat mesa]

I mean to me it sounds like you need to stop trying to duct tape patch up the problems you get as a result of your real problem: you need a proper host if you want reliability

[wooden ember]

wheres the fun in that

people take tech for granted

i whanna make a bot and i want it to be robust enough that it wont crash

even on my potato internet

[sharp geyser]

🤔

[wheat mesa]

Potato internet is not good for hosting

[wooden ember]

and?

[wheat mesa]

I think that goes without saying

[wooden ember]

i know

[wheat mesa]

You need to fix the main problem

[sharp geyser]

bad internet leads to horrible uptime

[wooden ember]

but why should on litttle blip cause my whome program too die

[sharp geyser]

which in turn leads to bad bot

[wooden ember]

my bot its only on my mates server

[prisma locust]

Hi guys i have a question for you. The output I gave above is a data output, how can I create an array, object set that will give a result like this?

[wheat mesa]

That’s like having the hoover dam burst and you’re patching it up with one piece of flex tape

[sharp geyser]

Wait what are you trying to do

You seem to already have exactly what you asked for?

[sharp geyser]

flex tape is strong enough

[wheat mesa]

“THATS A LOTTA DAMAGE”

[wooden ember]

i mean not really thats a total failure of infrastructure, im just trying to deal with intermitant issues

[prisma locust]

I do not give this output, the system does, but I do not understand how it gives. I need an object, array data saving code that will give me results like this.

[boreal iron]

That’s already more than what the government does to keep their dams intact

[sharp geyser]

If you already get the data like that what are you trying to do yourself

[wheat mesa]

Your issues are extreme in the case of hosting. Having disconnects so often that you need an automatic system to reconnect it when you could just use a proper host is just not the right way to go about it

[sharp geyser]

inb4 they implement that region specific reconnect system

:^)

[prisma locust]

bro I say that this data output does not belong to me. I say that I am looking for an array object saving code that outputs like this.

[sharp geyser]

If libs don't swap over, there will be 10x more disconnects

[wooden ember]

there is not one host that has 100% uptime and therefor atleast every bot that anyone has made has lost internet atleast once are you trying to tel me that they all just outrught crash after that?

[wheat mesa]

You could save yourself 1000 lines of duct tape code to handle complex internet issues, or you could spend 5 minutes setting up a free forever oracle VPS with pm2 that would be plenty to handle your bot

I have been hosting my bot on a free forever tier of oracle’s VPS for the last year. I have only ever had one disconnect that required me to restart the bot myself, and that was due to discord’s recent issues caused by cloudflare

[sharp geyser]

Ofc not

that would be near impossible to guarantee

[boreal iron]

Just return an object inside an array …

return [
{
property: value,
…
}
];

Done

Or push the object to an existing array

[prisma locust]

I'm testing

[sharp geyser]

But they are skilled enough to at least guarantee uptime nearly 24/7

[wooden ember]

so how do i make this not die in a short disconnect then?

[sharp geyser]

Is it disconnecting from discord?

If so get a better host and or internet

[wheat mesa]

To be fair the entire ecosystem of javascript is designed around “have someone else do it for me”, so why not just let someone else handle that for you? Use a service like PM2 on a proper VPS

[sharp geyser]

you could always self host if you have good enough internet

[wooden ember]

also bruh my net isnt that bad its just short blips like once every two ish days that causes vc so storworking and i need to reload the connection

[wheat mesa]

He self hosts right now

He’s saying that his internet is cheeks so it disconnects and crashes the bot

[sharp geyser]

Even the tiniest blip can cause a disconnect

[wooden ember]

why cant i handle that error though

[sharp geyser]

Cause its YOUR internet cutting out for a split second

[wooden ember]

and? it reconnects

[sharp geyser]

There is no way to prevent that other than getting better internet

[prisma locust]

I guess I can't. Can I send you a sample of my code?

[wheat mesa]

Because you’ve completely fucked the gateway connection and interrupted the stream of packets that are being sent through said gateway to discord while it’s playing audio

[boreal iron]

Not to me but into this channel

[sharp geyser]

use a bin if its a large amount of code please

[boreal iron]

Aye

[wooden ember]

yeah so why cant i just get an error saying its disconnected?

rather than it killing everything

[sharp geyser]

It should send an error if the connection is interrupted iirc

[wheat mesa]

Because it’s probably going to terminate your gateway connection

[sick agate]

ask error handling

[prisma locust]

let tracks = []
await music_filter.map(async m => {
 
        let Track = {
            id: interaction.guild.id,
            title: m.music_name,
            author: m.author,
            url: m.music_url,
            thumbnail: m.thumbnail,
            duration: m.duration,
            views: 0,
            requestedBy: interaction.user,
            playlist: {
                player: client.player,
                tracks: tracks,
                author: interaction.user,
                description: interaction.user.username,
                thumbnail: interaction.user.displayAvatarURL({ dynamic: true }),
                type: 'playlist',
                source: 'playlist',
                id: 'playlist',
                url: 'playlist',
                title: m.playlist_name
            }
        }
    
    tracks.push(Track)

})```
Currently this code gives data as an object { } but I want an output like 
Track { 
}

[sick agate]

i guess the process dies right? @wooden ember

[wheat mesa]

That’s… what an object is

[wooden ember]

if i unplug my pc from the internet whilst im on vc with my mates discord will disconnect and then reconnect once i plug it back in why can in not do that with my bot?

[wheat mesa]

Ok so your first problem here is

Using async map

Don’t do that

[sick agate]

....

[wooden ember]

?

[sick agate]

PM2???

[wheat mesa]

Resolve the promises and then map the results

[sharp geyser]

Thats not how the gateway works....

[wooden ember]

but it does

[sick agate]

like you should attempt to reconnect

[sick agate]

manually

[sharp geyser]

if there is a valid session id then ofc you can reconnect

but if you outright disconnect then you just have to re-identify

[wooden ember]

i want to but d.js throws an error and the whole prosses gets fucked befor i can

[sick agate]

handle the error then

[wooden ember]

its not comming from my code

[sick agate]

i think you can still do it ?

[sharp geyser]

😔

1. You can't reconnect without a valid session id, so if you just outright disconnect from the gateway you no longer have that (iirc)
2. If this happens, you just have to re-identify (calling .login again)

Which means, stopping the process and re-running it

Which as you can see, is a bad idea

[wooden ember]

im genuinly confused if i unplug my pc rn from the internet it will not blue screen cuz all of windows telemitry, discord shit, google chrome, and whatever elce loses connection. so why is it that a i have to reboot the entire bot just for a momentary blip

if everything else can handle the internet dying why cant I?

[sharp geyser]

Cause djs just kills the process once it gets an error like that

[wooden ember]

or does google have to reboot data centers everytime some one drives a tracter through a fibre line

[wooden ember]

why

thats dumb

[sharp geyser]

🤷‍♀️

it could also be ws doing it and not djs

[wooden ember]

said it was from d.js in the log

[sharp geyser]

ws could be causing issues once it notices the gateway connection is no longer stable and just killing the process and telling you that

[wooden ember]

but idk literally stupid if one small thing causes the whole prosses to die

[sharp geyser]

Again, this can be solved by just getting a reliable host but whatever

Just keep restarting the process

I have no way to help you with internet issues

[wooden ember]

"oh no the breaks are worn on my car better buy a new one"

[sharp geyser]

🤔

[wooden ember]

not replacing my entire host just for one small issue

[sharp geyser]

But, your analogy just stated a major issues

[wooden ember]

why is there no way of it retrying the connection

[sharp geyser]

Also idk if you ever heard of replacement

[wooden ember]

the hell are you on about

[sharp geyser]

You can use pm2 like they've been suggesting

once it encounters an error it just restarts the process itself

henceforth restarting the bot

[wooden ember]

yes but thats a band-aid solution

i dont want the bot to stop in the first place

[sharp geyser]

and you trying to force it to reconnect isn't?

[wooden ember]

im not able to do anything, it crashes as soon as its realises theres no internet

[sharp geyser]

Thats how a lot of things work.

[wooden ember]

that is actually dumb

[sharp geyser]

Either way, I can't help you with what you wanna achieve so just wait for someone who can

[wooden ember]

why is it that internet dying kills my bot but theres an entire page on how to handle disconnects on the d.js docs if i cant bloody use it

https://discordjs.guide/voice/voice-connections.html#handling-disconnects

how im i suposed to use anyof this if i have to restart the bot anyway

what the fuck

this is why i genuinely hate software devs they single handedly have held back 30 years of hardware development.

[sharp geyser]

yes blame others for ur problems

[wooden ember]

in the 90s you could get on the internet with a 800mhz cpu now you gotta have a 2ghz cpu to do the exact same fucking thing

[wooden ember]

did i write discord? no

did i write d.js

no

[sharp geyser]

and back in the 90s you didn't have access to anything that has helped us as a society today

[wooden ember]

bruh what?

[sharp geyser]

Anyway, what you linked relies on a session still existing and or discord closing the session themselves

If none of that is possible, then you simply have to re-identify

[wooden ember]

yeah exactly, i can see that but if the prosses gets yeetes as soon as theres no internet why are they telling me how to try to recover it

[sharp geyser]

😔

This is going in circles

if it CANT reconnect then why should it bother trying further

[wooden ember]

if it knows it cant reconnect it must have tryed

but i cant try is if just dies

[wheat mesa]

this is definitely a fallacy of some sort I just don’t know the name of it

[wooden ember]

what do you mean

[wheat mesa]

Strawman fallacy

[wooden ember]

whats that?

[wheat mesa]

Look it up

[sharp geyser]

A form of argument and an informal fallacy based on giving the impression of refuting an opponent's argument, while actually refuting an argument that was not presented by that opponent

Basically you were being irrelevant

[wooden ember]

bruh didnt mean it liek that, i was expressing my general dismay againsed most modern software in a tangent

[wheat mesa]

In this case the modern hardware has nothing to do with the internet, it doesn’t change anything

And in the 90s CPUs were far less than that speed

But that’s besides the point

[wooden ember]

if you want a more relevent tangent, the internet was invented as a nuclear prove data comunication network, i some how dont thing the US govournment would be happy with a network they have to reboot at every slight loss of service

[wheat mesa]

In the 90s the internet was fantastically slow you seem to be forgetting

[sharp geyser]

🤔

[wheat mesa]

Dial up was still the most common form of internet access and that maxed out at something like 32kbps

[sharp geyser]

It was fast for its time

[wheat mesa]

No

It was slow for its time

[wooden ember]

it was slow, it was shit, it disconnected and yet you didnt have to restart enternet explorer everytime your internet went out

[wheat mesa]

A common thing was to bring a magazine to read at your computer while you waited for your website to load

Internet explorer was not a thing in the 90s pretty sure

Apparently launched in 1995 nvm

[wooden ember]

yeah

idk what was before it

[wheat mesa]

And yet you have to reload a website every time you lose connection to it if it depends on anything other than static pages no?

[wooden ember]

netscape was around the 90s

[wooden ember]

yes reload

i just want to fucking reload

that is it

i dont want it to crahs

[sharp geyser]

But its essentially just starting a new connection no?

[wooden ember]

yes

[wheat mesa]

An app in 1995 for windows was probably being built with C where you can access more internal low level things as well

[sharp geyser]

and....you re-identifying the gateway does what?

[wooden ember]

but i cant start shit if the program crashed

[sharp geyser]

Then go libless and control how it works, though I have a feeling it isn't djs itself that is causing this

[wheat mesa]

pm2

Or solve your main issue which is the disconnecting itself

[sharp geyser]

He doesn't want a "bandaid" solution

[wheat mesa]

You’re trying to fit a square peg into a circle hole here

[wooden ember]

nomatter what i do i will never have internet with 100% uptime

[wheat mesa]

But his solution is the bandaid solution

[wooden ember]

therefor it will crash at some point

[wheat mesa]

Then use pm2

[wooden ember]

but that wount stop it crashing

[wheat mesa]

You’re right it won’t

Some things are unrecoverable

In the case of gateway connections

It could be a thousand different things

[wooden ember]

but why? i can disconect my pc from the internet whilst in a vc call and then plug it back in later and it will reconnect

[wheat mesa]

Just use a process manager and use a proper host so that your bot will only crash like once every blue moon and it’ll restart in 15 seconds

[wooden ember]

why cant i just make it so i get a console log like "theres no insternet at the moment retry connection in 30 secconds"

[wheat mesa]

Discord is internally destroying and recreating your connection

[wooden ember]

so why cant i do that

that is all i want

[lyric mountain]

no software is safe from eventual crashes

[wheat mesa]

Because it’s a bandaid solution to a bigger problem

[lyric mountain]

except RCT, idk how tf that guy managed to make it

[wheat mesa]

That’s called the halting problem 😉 ^

Go ahead and solve it I dare you 👀

[lyric mountain]

nah I'm fine

[wooden ember]

i know but i can damn well try to get close

[wheat mesa]

Just solve the easier problem

You’re making it more difficult than it needs to be

[wooden ember]

i know

[lyric mountain]

well, you could encapsulate your entire process inside another process in a way that, should the child crash, the parent will create another one

[wheat mesa]

The easier solution is to use a proper host that will take you 5 minutes to access and then another 10-15 minutes to set up with pm2

[lyric mountain]

but even then, the parent has a chance to crash, thus killing the child

[wooden ember]

true but that wont be subject to anything that the child did

[lyric mountain]

OOM is still a thing

and cosmic rays

[sharp geyser]

and this is starting to sound a lot more like a fantasy

[lyric mountain]

an entirely unrelated process could crash ur own too

[wheat mesa]

When malloc fails you’ve got a big issue 😉

[sharp geyser]

it never fails

wym

[wheat mesa]

It will return a nullptr if it does not have any more available memory

[sharp geyser]

Then download more memory

[wheat mesa]

Which I highly doubt that everyone is checking if malloc failed in their C program each time they allocate memory

[lyric mountain]

or edit regedit

[sharp geyser]

or cry yourself to sleep

[lyric mountain]

ah, misty missed the context

[sharp geyser]

hm?

[lyric mountain]

so, bae tries fiddling with regedit to make gta V think it has more vram than his gpu has

spoiler: it didn't went well

[sharp geyser]

Oh yea

hes just dumb

[wooden ember]

ok so i just edited the discord.js voice library so it doesnt crash

fixed now

[sharp geyser]

whatever works for you ig

[wooden ember]

it just console logs the error now

rather than killing the entire god damn prosses

literally works perfectly

ther was no reason for it to end the prosses at all

[sharp geyser]

I have a suspicion that it will at some point cause issues but 🤷‍♀️

if you think it is the perfect solution go with it

Idrc anymore

[wooden ember]

i mean it hasent caused anything yet

but idk

[sharp geyser]

yet

[wooden ember]

lol

we will see

the only thing it does is the bot leaves the vc but still reports its in a vcin the code

but my disconnect command still works and after that it reconnects fine

[earnest phoenix]

What link?

[whole knot]

Something like this: https://discordapp.com/oauth2/authorize?client_id=CLIENT_ID&scope=bot&permissions=PERMSHERE

[earnest phoenix]

Where to find it

[whole knot]

I literally gave you the link in #support

[earnest phoenix]

Where is it located?

[whole knot]

"Head over to https://discord.com/developers/applications/YourBotID/oauth2/general and set the links"

Replace YourBotID with the ID of your bot

[earnest phoenix]

Huh?

I don’t understand

Picture?

[whole knot]

Did you even do what I advised you to do?

[earnest phoenix]

Bruh

I am here what to do next

[whole knot]

https://discord.com/developers/applications/1010922215564378183/oauth2/general - This should be your link

[earnest phoenix]

Bruh

Need the CLIENT ID

[whole knot]

Just try this for now

Maybe you do not even need a link

Then set the permission(s) and see what happens

[earnest phoenix]

Go to the bot thing?

[whole knot]

Yes, as you do not have slash commands

[earnest phoenix]

Ok

[whole knot]

Then set the permissions in the "Bot Permissions" tab that pops-up

[earnest phoenix]

Like this

[earnest phoenix]

Yeah, what do next?X

[whole knot]

Save it and check out your bot

[earnest phoenix]

How to save it

[earnest phoenix]

How to make people to invite my bot

[whole knot]

We do not give tips on advertising. Please take care of that yourself. You can also use our auctions

[earnest phoenix]

I don’t have the option to save it

[whole knot]

Then it was maybe saved automatically. Check if your bot has the button now, otherwise you need to dive in deeper yourself

A little research never hurts

[chrome orbit]

anyone good with mongodb (mongoose) that might be able to help with an issue im having?

[light ingot]

we manage roles in channel settings

[light ingot]

um I'm a beginner

[chrome orbit]

async function guildRemove(client, con, id) {
    await guildSettings.findOneAndDelete({ guildId: `${id}` });
    return 0;
}

well according to the docs, this is correct, yet its not quite doing anything its suppose to be doing.

i'm just wondering if someone can verify its correct?

[light ingot]

yeah it does look correct tho

actually wait

you need to return a promise in that function to be able to work

[chrome orbit]

so what are your suggestions?

[light ingot]

for that you can make the promise return in the function

[quartz kindle]

that wont change anything

also why do you have client an con params if you dont use them?

[light ingot]

uh it would i guess

[chrome orbit]

i used to have it setup as MySQL, an am switching to MongoDB. Must've forgot to remove it.

[light ingot]

because i have a friend who's also a beginner at mongodb (even new than me) and he sometimes forgets to use await and so his action isn't performed

[quartz kindle]

then he has other issues because thats not really how js works

[lyric mountain]

I mean, it is, just not within the same execution

[light ingot]

you could also use .then() but not sure if it'll work

[lyric mountain]

await just makes the code wait for a result

[light ingot]

yeah

[chrome orbit]

^

[light ingot]

but async functions require promises

simply using await doesn't do anything

[quartz kindle]

async functions are promises already

[light ingot]

it says "await has no effect on this type of expression"

[quartz kindle]

that means youre using await in the wrong places

[light ingot]

oh

[chrome orbit]

anyways, am i wrong by saying what i have is correct or is there something im missing?

[quartz kindle]

how do you call the guildRemove function?

[chrome orbit]

ive tried finding it first, then using .deleteMany(), but same result (nothing)

oh my, im so dumb

that would explain why its not working

forgot i commented out await client.utils.guildRemove(client, con, guild.id); when i was testing

[light ingot]

[chrome orbit]

okay, maybe im not as dumb as i thought i was because its still the same issue 🤣

[civic scroll]

the await deos nothing in that context

[light ingot]

yeah that's what I was saying

[civic scroll]

unless you have code that waits for the action's completion in consumer scope

[light ingot]

he needs a promise

[civic scroll]

no

[light ingot]

k I'm out

I'm simply too noob to help lmao

[civic scroll]

i can just do something like

function guildRemove(id) {
    guildSettings.findOneAndDelete({ guildId: id });
}

if i don't depend on completion of anything

also

id if it's from djs api

it's a string

no need to stringify it again

if the code doesn't work: it might either be incorrect key, wrong schema, or the key just didn't exist in the first place

[chrome orbit]

key exist in database, schema is correct. as far as the incorrect key, i could console.log it and see what its actually returning

my guess is its returning [object Object]

[quartz kindle]

if you removed the client and con parameters from one side but not the other side of the function, then yes

[chrome orbit]

see, key is correct

(in the database at least)

so its not returning anything

well nevermind. didnt change a single line of code and it fixed itself... 🤷‍♂️

[lyric mountain]

That's a worrying case then, code that works when it shouldn't are the worst case

[chrome orbit]

very, but thats why im testing it in multiple guilds at a time. seems to be working stable

[sharp geyser]

You were likely fetching with an incorrect guild id tbh

[carmine summit]

Which is faster? map first or sort first?

[chrome orbit]

it was fetching with undefined as the picture above shows

is it normal for guildAdd function to be ran on bot start?

(on bot start, my guildCreate event is firing)

[sharp geyser]

yes but typically they return null/undefined if it can't find anything

so you were likely feeding it wrong info

[chrome orbit]

As I said, I didn’t change any code and it fixed itself lol

[sharp geyser]

i don't see why not

[chrome orbit]

Just spamming my console wile “error: duplicate guildId” as my bot creates the database for the servers when it joins it… so the bot is trying to create the databases on bot start.

And with 100+ guilds, I don’t think I want it spamming each individual guild in the console lol

I suppose I could add an !exist variable

[sharp geyser]

As the bot identifies it does indeed run guildCreate event

the id is wrong

but in db is correct

[pale vessel]

What MySQL library are you using?

[rotund river]

this: https://www.npmjs.com/package/mysql

this is the structure for ID_utente

[pale vessel]

Add supportBigNumbers: true and bigNumberStrings: true to your connection options

[rotund river]

in this section? ```var con = mysql.createConnection({
host : client.config.host,
user : client.config.user,
password : client.config.password,
database : client.config.database
});````

[pale vessel]

Ya

[rotund river]

ok

[pale vessel]

It'll turn numbers from your database to strings since some numbers can go over the maximum safe integer in JS

[rotund river]

thanks it work

[lament rock]

result.map(…) where you can do whatever with the map

https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/JavaScript/Reference/Global_Objects/Array/map

[rotund river]

thanks

[rotund river]

onestly i don't know how to use it 😅

[civic scroll]

<Array>.map transforms all elements in an array with specified callback, and returns the transformed array
the original array is not modified via this function call

[rotund river]

i try

[civic scroll]

for example

const number = [1, 2, 3];
console.log(number.map(v => v ** 2)); // [1, 4, 9]
console.log(number); // [1, 2, 3]

[rotund river]

i stay create a system to visualize all your warn registrated in a mysql databases, how can i create the embed with the data mysql give me (writed 8 message up) and the correct return?

[civic scroll]

sadly i have 0 zero type inference for your snippet since i don't work with sql and sql-js libraries

[rotund river]

There’s also a built in console.table method if you don’t want more dependencies. Chances are it’s not as advanced as you’re looking for though

what is instances for pm2 ?

[lyric mountain]

you really need to learn how to properly organize code

also why do u have 2 columns for the same data

and dont use var, like, never

[frigid robin]

Hey @lyric mountain I wanted to verify with u something before I start using this in prod cause I made lots of changes recently (using command prefix and also changed psycopg2 to asyncpg) and while debugging before I got a few times an error saying "FATAL: sorry, too many clients already.
I'm using a connection pool. The flow is as follows (removing irrelevant stuff):

db_connection.py

        if not tunnel_mode:
            pool = asyncpg.create_pool(
                database=database_name, user=database_username, password=database_password, host=database_host_address, port=database_port
            )
            return pool

Runner.py

async def main():
    async with db_connection.create_postgres_pool() as pool:
        bot.pool = pool
        await bot.start(TOKEN)

if __name__ == '__main__':
    asyncio.run(main())

then when there's an event this is how I use the pool:

async def get_rnchannelid_for_guild(bot, guildid):
    try:
        rn_channel_id = await bot.pool.fetch(sql_get_rnchannelid_for_guild, str(guildid))
        ...

Also found that my Postgres is limited to 20 connections right now, which idk if should be enough (thanks PythonAnywhere)

[lyric mountain]

you should really use a pool

let the pool handle how many connections are active at once

[frigid robin]

yes I just moved to using the pool now, I wanna use it in prod

was just wondering if I implemented it correctly, the docs were horrible

[surreal sage]

Run function, if it throws an error, use "null" as result

How to? (JS)

[sudden geyser]

try and catch

or make a function that does it for you

[surreal sage]

Ah yeah

function() {try{var=result}catch(){var=null}}

But in a ()=>{}

let queue = ()=>{ try { return (await client.player.createQueue(interaction.guild.id)) ?? null } catch(_) { return null } }

[surreal sage]

Did this become a function?

[drifting cairn]

try it and see

[sudden geyser]

Yes, but you could abstract it more.

function attempt(f, def = null, ...args) {
  try {
    return f(...args);
  } catch {
    return def;
  }
}

attempt(() => {
  throw new Error("wow");
}); // `null`

[surreal sage]

Still throws an error

    let queue = () => {
      try {
        return client.player.createQueue(interaction.guild.id) ?? null;
      } catch (_) {
        return null;
      }
    };
    queue = queue();```

[sudden geyser]

doesn't createQueue return a promise

[surreal sage]

It does not.

It throws an error instead of undefined*

[drifting cairn]

why'd you await it here then

[surreal sage]

dk thought it'd help

[drifting cairn]

doesnt do anything if it doesnt return a promise

and why would createQueue throw an error?

[surreal sage]

well it doesn't change doe sit

Because there isn't a queue connection

[drifting cairn]

what package are you using?

[sudden geyser]

then maybe it's throwing elsewhere/later

[surreal sage]

discord-music-player

[drifting cairn]

then use the join function 1st?

[surreal sage]

I want to interaction.reply instead of crash

This is "skip song"

Not play

[drifting cairn]

then check if theres a queue connection prior to skipping the song or something

check if ur url is correct

[rich swift]

It is, I've double checked.

Is it http or https.

if its a replit url, its https

[rich swift]

No, it's not replit.

I switched from it.

[quartz kindle]

if its an ip address, its http

[rich swift]

It is an ip. But it's throwing me a http 404 not found.

The bot is online.

[quartz kindle]

is the port correct?

[rich swift]

Yes.

[quartz kindle]

you're using a vps or a different type of host?

[rich swift]

Umm

[quartz kindle]

does it have a pterodactyl control panel?

or you access it using ssh?

[ancient nova]

ran smootly after I did that

in fact, it did

it never went past 1GB even though I allocated 1,5GB

I had to decrease the regex value to 512 and that fixed any memory leak I had

[wheat mesa]

because you don’t have that much memory dingbat

You can’t take more than you have

🤣

[ancient nova]

it tried to when I set the dedicated to over 2gb that's why the memory leak happened

from what I read the allocation works by borrowing space from your physical ram to allow increased virtual ram

and when I borrowed over 4gb of my actual ram it tried allocating chunks of the gta map to a non existing space

it thought it had the space so yeah

[ancient nova]

well it went up to 1070 something mb so the alloc prolly still worked

[lyric mountain]

that's not memory leak btw

[spark flint]

Invalid bitfield flag or number: MANAGE_CHANNEL.

🗿

Discord.js, trying to manage permission overwrites

[uneven tartan]

use discord-player. its so much easier. i think discord-music-player is outdated as well

also, make sure to follow the guide where it mentions using a custom stream. ytdl-core is facing some issues right now

[earnest phoenix]

It's MANAGE_CHANNELS

[spark flint]

yeah

its confusing

[ancient nova]

people that described the issue on intels forum said it's a memory leak tho

[lyric mountain]

It's not

Memory leak is when resources aren't freed after usage

So it's gets accumulated over time

Aka "leaking" your memory

[ancient nova]

yeah and chunks of the map stayed loaded when you had no actual ram left, that's what I was explaining

[lyric mountain]

No, they just aren't loaded at all

Increasing "memory" through regedit doesn't increase the actual usable memory

[ancient nova]

they were, I've seen it happen with my own eyes when trying to fix that issue in the first place

[lyric mountain]

No, what u probably saw was address overlap

[ancient nova]

then how come some games I installed ran better after doing that?

[lyric mountain]

When the memory manager cycles back to the beginning of the memory because it can't find any more memory available, so it kinda corrupts whatever was there

[ancient nova]

so when I had less ram aka 8-10gb since 4-6 was being consumed by virtual alloc and now I got 10-12 available and the game runs fine

my vram changed from 2gb to 1,5gb

and it doesn't lag or cut randomly anymore as I play

google "gta v map vram memory leak"

[lyric mountain]

Because you disregard data integrity in favor of "space"

Also, swap memory is a thing

[ancient nova]

what's that?

[lyric mountain]

Using part of the hd as memory

Obviously way slower than actual ram

[ancient nova]

well isn't that what alloc is anyway???

[lyric mountain]

Alloc is loading stuff into addresses

[ancient nova]

it takes space from ur physical actual ram u got on ur motherboard and uses it as virtual ram

that's what the people said

[lyric mountain]

Alloc is just short for allocation

[ancient nova]

I know

I'm saying that regex alloc for the segment size

[lyric mountain]

Also there's no "virtual ram"

[ancient nova]

I meant video ram

[lyric mountain]

Regex is just a pattern matching language, stop making up techy sentences

Vram is exclusive to the gpu, normal ram can't be used

If u got 1gb vram u got 1gb vram

Nothing aside from buying a new card can change that

[sudden geyser]

except downloading more ram

[ancient nova]

I meant regedit yk what I was talking about 😭

[lyric mountain]

Who tf calls regedit regex?

[ancient nova]

but yeah i guess it does trick the game into thinking u got more vram

how come some games ran better then?

[lyric mountain]

Because u sacrificed data integrity

[ancient nova]

if it works it works ig

[lyric mountain]

The memory manager is smart enough to loop back once it reaches the last address if it must

It'll overwrite whatever is in those addresses tho

Meaning many corrupted assets and probably stuff like save data

[ancient nova]

people called the way gta v managed their resourced bad

and there was some issues with drivers detecting only chip memory which is 124 or 256 mb

so people used the dedicated reg to edit their displayed vram

to make gta v actually recognize their vram or something like that

[lyric mountain]

You're missing the entire problem bae

Gta only reads whatever values the OS shows

[ancient nova]

completed around 24% of the game never had any issues show yet

I think i'm good

[lyric mountain]

If the computer isn't detecting your actual memory, you DEFINITELY shouldn't simply edit those values

[ancient nova]

mah it did, Imean for others it didn't

I was just showing an example

[lyric mountain]

A bad example

Nobody except ultra knowledgeable people should ever open the regedit

That's the recipe for a big metal paperweight

[sudden geyser]

you're not linus torvalds

calm down

[lyric mountain]

Ik, that's why I don't fiddle with regedit

[ancient nova]

edited lots of things in regedit nothing ever happened to me because of it

well except one time but we don't talk about that

[lyric mountain]

Yet

[ancient nova]

had this current pc for 5 years now

[sudden geyser]

since when are pcs considered no good after 5 years

[ancient nova]

I changed a key in reg to change the color of my taskbar once 😂

make it transparent

it looks cool

[ancient nova]

never said that? Still using mine after 5 years

@lyric mountain, I'd like to ask a question. When making a java project, when should I be making something like com.example.something.Something and when should I make like only a Main class and that's it.

[rustic nova]

domain.company.project.classpath

do de.aurel.discordbot.Main

[severe field]

s

[pearl trail]

yes

[stark abyss]

okay my discord bot works absolutely fine locally, but heroku throws error (node:4) UnhandledPromiseRejectionWarning: Error [TOKEN_INVALID]: An invalid token was provided.
now I have made sure my app id and bot token is correct. On heroku i did go to settings and added in config variables section but it still doesn't work.

[ancient nova]

[stark abyss]

locally i did heroku config --> consoled log correct bot token and app id

i also did heroku local --> runs absolutely fine no error

but on heroku it still throws the error

[ancient nova]

maybe try hardcoding the token???

[feral aspen]

Sweet, makes more sense now.

[civic scroll]

looks cool

[civic scroll]

there's no env vars?

[civic scroll]

de.aurel.amog.us

[quartz kindle]

sayuriel.aureyuri.us

[lyric mountain]

Ideally, you'd never have only the Main class unless it's a very simole project

But never, never, put the Main class in the sources root

src/java/Main = nono
src/java/com/example/Main = yesyes

[feral aspen]

What? Well, I have this, so how will it work? https://cdn.hamoodihajjiri.com/W9ytexPztR

[lyric mountain]

Yes, don't do that

[feral aspen]

Correct.

What's java, though? Why a folder named java.

[lyric mountain]

While it will work, the jit can't optimize as much as when u have an actual package

[lyric mountain]

It's when ur making a gradle/maven project

[feral aspen]

Ohh..

I do this: /src/main/java/com/hamoodihajjiri/something/Something.java.

[lyric mountain]

Because they need to bw able to know where they can find the sources

[sudden geyser]

I see that more often

[lyric mountain]

And there's the resources folder too

[feral aspen]

A main and a test folder, basically.

Indeed.

[lyric mountain]

That's because of unit tests

[feral aspen]

So, to conclude this...

[lyric mountain]

Always place Main on the package root, not on the sources root

[feral aspen]

Create packages inside src when creating classes?

[lyric mountain]

Not packages, package

In singular

Unless ur making a multi-module project

[feral aspen]

How does that differ, I didn't understand. package or sources root.

[lyric mountain]

Sources is src folder

Package is com/example

[feral aspen]

Fair, alright.

Leading me to the next question, when should my package be com/example, and when can it be like this, supposedly: https://cdn.hamoodihajjiri.com/njSCdIdJjO .

[lyric mountain]

Don't do that too, make a parent package

[feral aspen]

Like?

[lyric mountain]

src/com/example

[feral aspen]

Oh.

[lyric mountain]

Then put anything else inside it

[feral aspen]

src/com/example/entity or src/com/example/main or src/com/example/object, and such, correct?

[lyric mountain]

Yes

[feral aspen]

What about vanilla?

[lyric mountain]

Including vanilla

[feral aspen]

Cause supposedly I'm making a vanilla project.

[feral aspen]

Wooot, that too?

I thought this rule applies to maven/gradle project, though.

Not really rule but best practice, I believe.

[lyric mountain]

The only thing that applies to them is the java and resources folders

Everything else is best practices

Also, usually you name your folders like:
model = for POJOs and normal, instantiable classes and templates
controller = database connectors and managers
view = screens and UX/UI classes

[feral aspen]

Looks like every time I start a project, I'll do something like this: /src/main/java/com/example/main/Main.java.

[feral aspen]

I'll take that into notice.

[lyric mountain]

Just /src/com/example/Main.java

Or if ur using gradle/maven, /src/java/com/example/Main.java

[feral aspen]

Fair enough.

Anyways, some projects or developments comes with an auto-generated main and test folder within the sources root.

src/main/java/...

[lyric mountain]

That's because unit testing

[feral aspen]

Or that, particularly.

Nevertheless, last question..

[lyric mountain]

main I believe would be the replacement of java folder for vanilla

[feral aspen]

Nono.

java would be inside main.

[lyric mountain]

Ah true, just checked

[feral aspen]

Along with java would be the resources folder.

Also, last question..

A package named by com.example, is the same as /com/example?

[lyric mountain]

Yes, the former is package notation, the latter is directory notation

Both are the same, but usually you use . instead of / when referring to classes and not normal folders

Also for imports

[feral aspen]

Usually, when I made new classes inside the java folder, I call the class com.example.Main.java.

It'd make a package named by com.example and a class named by Main.

[lyric mountain]

Yes

[feral aspen]

Sweet.

[lyric mountain]

That's part of why you always need a root package, so you can use imports

And libs that rely on reflection don't work at all without packages

Like spring

Or jpa

[feral aspen]

Don't know what those are.

[lyric mountain]

Spring is a huge framework that contains many stuff from database managing to REST to class managing

I use more for the REST interface (springboot)

[earnest phoenix]

https://top.gg/bot/282859044593598464?s=03d5df633583f

[lyric mountain]

Jpa is THE database manager, sequelize was based on it

It's the official "java" way of managing databases

[feral aspen]

Oh, fair.

I appreciate it a lot. :)

[earnest phoenix]

how do i add a bot to my discord server

[feral aspen]

https://discord.com/oauth2/authorize?client_id=282859044593598464&scope=identify+guilds+bot+applications.commands+applications.commands.permissions.update&permissions=2080374975&response_type=code&redirect_uri=https://api.probot.io/authback

[lyric mountain]

The good thing about jpa is that it's database-agnostic, you can use any database (and multiple different database at the same time) without changing a single line of code

[earnest phoenix]

@feral aspen Thanks a lot

[feral aspen]

Ooo.. now I've started a bit in Java, can't wait to get into that, soon.

[lyric mountain]

Once you get past the "meh java is bad" stereotypes, you discover it's actually a great language

[feral aspen]

Honestly, I've tried it for MC plugin development. 😂

But in the end, I've noticed it's pretty decent, compared to Javascript.

Then I studied it for game development, too. And to challenge myself into making a calculator with NO HELP AT ALL. I mean, seriously.

[lyric mountain]

Like, it's way more strict than js, but it's also exponentially stronger, especially if u need to do multithreading

[feral aspen]

Yes, yes. Correct. I've also liked it cause its rules are similar to JS.

[lyric mountain]

And in the end, the strictness makes it easy to debug

Btw, I really recommend u to also try groovy

[feral aspen]

Groovy?

[lyric mountain]

Yes, it's a superset of java

[feral aspen]

Is it like TS for JS.

[lyric mountain]

Ye basically

But gor java it's the opposite

Ts adds types to js, groovy kinda removes them

It still allows them, but it's more dynamic

When u don't need a highly optimized project, groovy is great

[feral aspen]

Oh, wat. What's Kotlin, then?

I thought Kotlin was the TS.

[lyric mountain]

Kotlin is another jvm language entirely

If java was C++, kotlin would be Go

Brb

[feral aspen]

Oh, damn.

[lyric mountain]

Back

But well, all jvm languages can talk to themselves because they compile to the same language - bytecode

Sometimes you can even have both within the same project working like a charm

Groovy directly extends java, in such a manner that to convert a java project to groovy, all u need to do is rename from TheClass.java to TheClass.groovy

[feral aspen]

Ooooo.

[lyric mountain]

Ts requires an additional step that is refactoring the code to add typed parameters and variables, groovy doesn't

and example of "groovy way" (almost everything java has a "groovy way"):
java ```java
for (int i = 0; i < 100; i++) {
System.out.println("Step " + i);
}

groovy ```groovy
100.times { print "Step $it" }

[feral aspen]

No way it's that simple, damn.

[lyric mountain]

Map<String, Object> map = new HashMap<>(){{
  put("key", "value");
  put("otherKey", 123);
  put("abc", new Object());
}};

def map = [
  "key": "value",
  "otherKey": 123,
  "abc": new Object()
]

SomeClass abc = new SomeClass("a", 123, true, "blabla");

def abc = ["a", 123, true, "blabla"] as SomeClass

(also works to convert arrays into class objects)

[sudden geyser]

kotlin walks in

[feral aspen]

Feels like english.

[lyric mountain]

but well, there's a ton of stuff, just read https://groovy-lang.org/differences.html

[feral aspen]

I will.

I also need to understand those default imports.

[lyric mountain]

wdym?

[feral aspen]

No like how they work and such.

[lyric mountain]

what kind of imports u mean?

[feral aspen]

java.<something>.<something>.

[lyric mountain]

it's kinda like esm imports

but instead of import stuff from "package" u do import package.stuff

[feral aspen]

Well, in JS, it's not like I do const { Math } = require("javascript");

[feral aspen]

Oh.

[balmy yew]

Hy

[lyric mountain]

there are 3 ways of using classes from other files in java:

• import com.example.* = import everything from package com.example (not including subpackages)
• import com.example.AClass = specifically import AClass
• no import, simply use the fully named class (eg. com.example.AClass obj = new com.example.AClass())

with intellij u don't really need to bother abt this (same for most IDEs) since it auto-imports on-the-go

u can also enable auto-removal of unused imports (alt + enter -> Enable automatic optimization of imports (or smth))

[feral aspen]

Yup, that's why I used it and why you recommended me to use it, too.

[feral aspen]

Oh, fair. Sweet.

ALT + ENTER, I'll need to remember that.

[lyric mountain]

alt enter is the shortcut for quick fixes

alt + insert is the shortcut for quick code generation (like getters and setters, constructor, overrides, etc)

alt + O for overrides
alt + I for implementations

[feral aspen]

👍 👍

[lyric mountain]

there's a plugin for IJ that shows u what shortcut u could've used instead of the mouse

dont remember the name

[feral aspen]

No worries about that. :)

[feral aspen]

Quick quick question about this...

If I'm inside /src/com/example, and I want to make packages...

[lyric mountain]

com/example is already a package

[feral aspen]

Well, what about multiple packages.

Example, package main and package methods, and package pictures, and etc.

What do I do?

[lyric mountain]

while u can, it's not recommended

[feral aspen]

Why not?

[lyric mountain]

because some libs wont work at all unless u configure them to search in other root packages

[feral aspen]

Example, for this: https://cdn.hamoodihajjiri.com/5OLkY0rJDY .

[lyric mountain]

u shouldn't treat packages as folders like that

[feral aspen]

Oh, what do I do then?

[lyric mountain]

u can put those 4 inside a common, root package

like com.hamood

[feral aspen]

Alright, so it'd be like this...

Then?

[lyric mountain]

com.example.
           ├ entity
           ├ main
           ├ object
           └ tile

[feral aspen]

Alright, so I add those packages inside the domain package.

[lyric mountain]

yes

[sudden geyser]

shouldn't it be com.example.project.[...]

[lyric mountain]

u don't usually put the project name in the root

only when packaging that u sign it with com.example.ProjectName

[feral aspen]

So, example, if I'm building a maven project, it'd be like this, supposedly: src/main/java/com/example/main/Main.java

[lyric mountain]

/main/Main.java -> Main.java

put the main class in the package root

[feral aspen]

Oh, and the rest in packages.

[lyric mountain]

yes

[feral aspen]

It's like index.js in src and rest in folders like commands and events, and whatever (in discord bot making)

[lyric mountain]

yes

[feral aspen]

Alright.

[feral aspen]

What's this, by the way.

[lyric mountain]

when u make a jar file, u need to put details about it

[feral aspen]

Cause I also have this, src/main/java/com.example.sub/Woohoo.java.

[lyric mountain]

that's not a valid package name

[feral aspen]

Mhm?

[feral aspen]

Well, suppose I'm making about ducks.

Or somethin', Idk.

https://cdn.hamoodihajjiri.com/k0N3AN2D3t

Is this a valid example.

[lyric mountain]

ah that's because intellij skip empty folters

so it shows only a long-named folder

[feral aspen]

So is .duck a package or what is this.

[lyric mountain]

the entire thing is

[feral aspen]

Ohh.

But when should Duck be inside com.hamoo and when should it be inside .duck.

[lyric mountain]

outside only if it's Main

like, the class that holds void main entry point

[feral aspen]

Well, this didn't work.

And I'm geniuenly confused as to why.

[lyric mountain]

show ur structure

[feral aspen]

Moment.

https://cdn.hamoodihajjiri.com/sW90dZuAx8

https://cdn.hamoodihajjiri.com/cuG8yqVLpT

[lyric mountain]

u cant have a package that starts with java

[feral aspen]

Oh.

[lyric mountain]

like, for vanilla, simply use com.hamood

for maven/gradle, there'll already be a folder named java

[feral aspen]

And is java a folder or a package.

[lyric mountain]

a folder

[quartz kindle]

a fodder

[feral aspen]

Unless I'm actually blind, where is folder: https://cdn.hamoodihajjiri.com/XKA3iSHPJy .

[lyric mountain]

bcuz u cant make a folder inside sources root

[feral aspen]

Oh, what now.

[civic scroll]

[feral aspen]

Do I just make a maven project, then?

Or I can just not name it with java..

[stark abyss]

What

I mentioned it before but I did go to settings config variables and added it

[lyric mountain]

put your package inside the root, that's it

com.hamood goes inside the blue folder

don't worry abt other stuff

[civic scroll]

the best way imo is to use environment variables

or by any way, hide the token from outside

[lyric mountain]

I use a starter script

that sets the variables before starting

[stark abyss]

Config var is the environment variable

[civic scroll]

say if json config file, make sure nothing but the bot process access that

[stark abyss]

I am accessing my token through process.env.BOT_TOKEN

[lyric mountain]

and don't forget to gitignore it

[stark abyss]

I did

I don’t understand why this is happening now I had the bot hosted for like 1-2 years now I did change all of the code but I specifically didn’t mess with the settings

[lyric mountain]

is it repl?

[stark abyss]

What no

[lyric mountain]

what's the context again?

[stark abyss]

This

[stark abyss]

Plus this

[lyric mountain]

yk heroku is ending free dynos right?

[stark abyss]

Yeah

[solemn latch]

ay, I called that almost 2 years ago

[lyric mountain]

well, try printing what is being retrieved from the config

[lyric mountain]

it was expected, they said many times their service isn't supposed to be used for bots

[stark abyss]

It’s not like I am setting everything up right now, it’s just I had it all set up I updated the code to slash commands because discords like no more message content intent and ahhh

[lyric mountain]

try printing what's being retrieved

[stark abyss]

Okay I will

[feral aspen]

GitHub question... main or stable: https://cdn.hamoodihajjiri.com/RW4FuG4iHu .

I know what each does, but I'm not sure which one to choose.

Cause in the end, if I do stable, then I need to make a new branch and work on main, and if it's main, then I need to make a new stable branch and leave it as the stable branch.

So.. what's better.

[lyric mountain]

master 👌

[feral aspen]

Why?

And is master same as main or stable.

[lyric mountain]

that was the standard name during the entire git story until they changed it because "politically correct"

other than that, it doesn't really matter what u name ur branches

[feral aspen]

How about this?

[lyric mountain]

names doesn't matter

[feral aspen]

Yes, I know. But what does it mean, master, that's it's the development one or the stable one. 😂

[lyric mountain]

master is supposed to be the production branch

like, the official one

[feral aspen]

As like in development? or like it being stable.

[lyric mountain]

production is production

the currently running one

in-dev is in-dev, never confuse with production

for development branch it's usually called nightly

[feral aspen]

Fair enough.

[quartz kindle]

wut

no idea what that is

[quartz kindle]

dafuq are you trying to do?

[earnest phoenix]

Just reply with like a embed for example and add buttons with the ButtonBuilder

Wait

modal.getTextInputValue("custom-id") if your using a components Handler and I think you can use collectors instead then

[knotty quartz]

I have a blacklist script with execute should send a different message however it ignores the message and script and moves straight onto the command.

E.g: /avatar

Supposed to say: You are blacklisted.

What it does: Sends avatar

Code:

Error fixed! Thanks to tim!

[quartz kindle]

thats a very bad idea

you should never create event listeners inside commands

you should only have one client.on('interactionCreate' in your bot

either in your main file or in your event loader

[knotty quartz]

Would it still run without it?

Thank you so much!

It works, that was the thing failing the override.

[quartz kindle]

👍

[wheat mesa]

204 is accepted though, for most APIs you’d get a valid object back along with a 204

[solemn latch]

"valid response" could mean anything

[sudden geyser]

Why is a 204 returning a body

[wheat mesa]

Then just check if you got an object in the body (I’m assuming it’s returning 204 either way)

Oh I’m stupid, I was thinking of 200

Just check the status code

[sudden geyser]

there's also this option for config

[wheat mesa]

You could do that but just make sure you’re catching the rejection

what

You’re overcomplicating it

Just check the status code

[knotty quartz]

How can i check to see if channel acccess is there to prevent downtime?

[wheat mesa]

204 is “No Content”

res.status or res.code or res.statusCode or something, look at the docs

[knotty quartz]

DiscordAPIError[50001]: Missing Access

When used in a channel without the bot accessing it ^

How can I fix it?

[drifting cairn]

dont reply to an interaction which has already been replied to or deferred

[knotty quartz]

I haven't from what I am aware of.

[drifting cairn]

the error message says otherwise

[knotty quartz]

It shuts down because the bot has 0 access to the channel.

Can I send my code?

To see if i miss typed something

[drifting cairn]

uh

sure

ig

[wheat mesa]

yes

        }``` @drifting cairn

I was testing to see if the error was because the bot didn't have access to using that channel (which it shut down too - but I got all 3 of those messages)

[drifting cairn]

inside of your .catch on the bulkDelete function

[knotty quartz]

oh.

[drifting cairn]

yep

[knotty quartz]

Do I just use followUp then? or? (Sorry abit new to purge and console.log)

[drifting cairn]

just dont continue if the bulkDelete function throws an error

[knotty quartz]

Ok. Thank you!

[drifting cairn]

[boreal iron]

Yes

Yes can only reply once

Then need to send a follow up message to your initial response

[knotty quartz]

Works just sends a message saying it purged because there is no follow up.

[lament rock]

You can send a deferUpdate without worrying about it later if you don't want to send any message

otherwise, you need to edit the original interaction response or followup

[knotty quartz]

ok

[boreal iron]

403 post channel messages

You don’t have the permission to send a message in that channel

[wheat mesa]

(make a permission handler, your life will instantly become 10 million times easier)

I should start doing pull requests to github projects, maybe I'll gain a little bit more confidence in my programming skillset

if you want scalability, js makes writing handlers easy, so definitely go for the handlers route if that's what you need

but if it's a small project then do whatever

Fair

I'm just looking for any excuse to procrastinate on this essay

[lyric mountain]

just get the embed from the message

[earnest phoenix]

The data of the message isn't attached to the interaction, and since the embeds are a part of the message, you can't get it that way

[lyric mountain]

interaction doesn't have embeds

message has

sigh

[earnest phoenix]

No, apparently the entire message is attached to the button interaction so you can get it that way
https://discord.js.org/#/docs/discord.js/main/class/ButtonInteraction?scrollTo=message

Huh? What exactly are you trying to do?

[lyric mountain]

cant u simply serialize the fields into the custom id?

[earnest phoenix]

The embeds have the fields property so you can access that embed's fields, and then access the specific field you want with indexes

[lyric mountain]

but anyway, if ur the one who created the embed, simply iterate over the fields

since u already know the sequence beforehand

[earnest phoenix]

And finally access the value property of the field for it's value

[spark flint]

just do ```js

let embed = new MessageEmbed(<embed>)
.setTitle("Application Accepted")

that gets the current EXISTING embed, and edits the title, then just send that new embed

[earnest phoenix]

That should work if you want to get the value of that embed's first field

[wheat mesa]

"I love you assembly <3"

I wholeheartedly agree
