yesterday, i was facing a problem of some classes not getting imported, when I read the docs, they change the class name.
Now the problem is, I made the bot, and it is onMessageReceived method is working, but the event.getMessage() is not working.|
Also, event.getAuthor() is working. idk whats going on?

sounds like you don't have the Message Content intent

gusty panther
#

Whenever i send a message, the method does work. but the getMessage() does not work

restive patrol
#

it's working as intended

Message Content is considered private data so discord restricts it, you have to manually enable it, and for large bots (>=100 guilds), the bot has to be verified

gusty panther
#

so do you think, that the tutorial i watched had this done already?

restive patrol
#

enable it in the discord dev portal, and you'll probably also have to include it in your JDA setup, don't remember how jda works

gusty panther
#

or they changed it ?

restive patrol
gusty panther
#

becoz many things in JDA have been changed

restive patrol
#

this is why video tutorials are inferior

gusty panther
#

so what do I do now?

restive patrol
#

probably ditch it for something up-to-date

gusty panther
#

any fix or solution?

restive patrol
#

i literally just gave you the fix

gusty panther
#

yeah ik, like what should I do to make it work

gusty panther
restive patrol
#

you have to manually enable it

#

and then i told you immediately after how to manually enable it

gusty panther
#

so it needs to be verified, which is possible or not? coz idk much about this stuff. I just wanted to make something

restive patrol
#

it doesn't need to be verified

#

and for large bots (>=100 guilds), the bot has to be verified

gusty panther
#

Yo, i got it what you were saying, and my bot is ofc under 100 servers, but I cant find a way to enable the message content in the discord application portal

restive patrol
#

go to your app, in the sidebar go to the "Bot" section, scroll down to privileged intents

gusty panther
#

yeah got it.

#

@restive patrol it worked

#

thanks a lot
