getApplicationInfo() returning extra data which isn't on the type specified

[fervent vortex]

Heyo,

Is there any reason why getApplicationInfo() returns data which is not in the listed in the CamelizedDiscordApplication type? I'm assuming its just an oversight?

Some of the properties missing are below, but there are also more. I did try to take a look into discordeno code and find where CamelizedDiscordApplication was defined, but I couldn't find where it actually sets the properties, it only where it imports.

bot (and all of its nested properties)
type
summary
hook
redirectUris
isMonetized
interactionsEndpointUrl

const f = await manager.getApplicationInfo();

I need some of this data for checking if my custom bot users have configured the settings correctly, for example the redirect URIs.

Also, is there any preprocessing done on the flags property? I'm attempting to try and check what intents the bot has but my checks for that do not seem to work, and after verifying with other people everything looks in the order, the only difference is I'm using discordeno/rest, so im guessing there is something a little bit different i need to do?

      const messageContent= 1 << 18;

      console.log(applicationInfo.flags); // 8953856
      if ((applicationInfo.flags & messageContent) === messageContent) {
        console.log('User has message content intent'); // this log never runs, no matter if the bot has the intents or not.
      }

So does it give more data or lack data?

[fervent vortex]

Gives more data (the stuff i listed is in the returned object but does not reflect in the mentioned type)

[sweet oyster]

Probably an oversight I assume

You're saying bot doesn't exist in the type? @fervent vortex

It exists in DiscordApplication and CamelizedDiscordApplication is basically Camelize<DiscordApplication> so it should list it I guess

[light snow]

from my understanding, only documented proprieties are in the discordeno types

[sweet oyster]

wdym?

[fervent vortex]

yep, bot is missing

[sweet oyster]

Can you show type of f

[light snow]

if discord does not have them in discord.com/developers (or whatever the url is) they are not in dd

[sweet oyster]

Yea bot's in docs

• in dd

[fervent vortex]

and redirect etc...

the type of f is CamelizedDiscordApplication

[light snow]

then check the versions with the commits

[sweet oyster]

And click it, does it redirect to this line?

[sweet oyster]

oh yea

can you check if you're in latest versions

[light snow]

even if they are on latest (d8something) it isn't still the latest on main, so even then it might be missing

[sweet oyster]

Isn't main the latest version?

[light snow]

in d81b28a (or the commit next to it) they disabled the auto-publish

[sweet oyster]

i see

im not much knowledgeable on this then

[fervent vortex]

yea it sends me to the correct place, in camel.d.ts

[light snow]

@fervent vortex what version are you running?

[fervent vortex]

    "@discordeno/rest": "19.0.0-next.1545f01",
    "@discordeno/types": "v19.0.0-next.1545f01",

leme update rq and get back to u

[light snow]

that is before the commits for the api docs catchup so there are like 30 issues of api docs missing

(i think)

yep that commit is before the 2 pr for the api docs catchup

[fervent vortex]

thanks update fixed it, sorry for wasting your time. I should have checked my version before I made this thread

[light snow]

nha, it is messy anyway rn, if we merge anything in main rn it does not get a npm release

could have been some of those commit after d81(whatever are the other letters)

[fervent vortex]

thank you very much 🙂

Also, another problem i am having:

      const applicationInfo = await manager.getApplicationInfo();

      const messageContent = 1 << 18;

      console.log(applicationInfo.flags); // 8953856
      if ((applicationInfo.flags & messageContent) === messageContent) {
        console.log('User has message content intent');
      }

the console log for checking if the user has the required intent never seems to be output, is there any preprocessing done on applicationInfo.flags? I've checked this solution with other people and it is the same, only difference is im using discordeno/rest. Not sure if there is something else I need to be doing instead?

[light snow]

oh no, the bitfields always confuse me
- have you tried flipping the applicationInfo.flags and messageContent (i seriusly don't remember the order they need to go)

• the .toString(2) of both applicationInfo.flags and messageContent have the bit that corrispond to messageContent matching? (.toString(2) creates the binary string for the number)

they in fact don't match (based on the number of your console log that you put as comment)

ignore that i used 3 for the pad, i almost never use padStart so needed to check it was working

checked with one of my bots that has the GATEWAY_MESSAGE_CONTENT (as discord calls it) intent

looks like the flag is NOT enabled if the bot is not verified, so it might be that

[sweet oyster]

uhh

what are you doing

(applicationInfo.flags & messageContent) === messageContent is right

if messageContent bit is in applicationInfo.flags, it'll return messageContent bit, otherwise 0

bitwise operators helps a lot btw, you should definitely learn, theyre very easy ^^

[light snow]

bitwise operators confuses me ok?

[sweet oyster]

& flag for checking if it exists (0 if doesnt exist, flag if exist)
| flag for adding
& ~flag to remove it

these are the basics that people would need

[sweet oyster]

i thought the explanation i gave was simple enough lol

[sweet oyster]

this is still confusing?

[light snow]

i do know how the work (mosly, i think), but it takes me a lot to understand in the context what they mean

[sweet oyster]

have a read at this https://dietertack.medium.com/using-bit-flags-in-c-d39ec6e30f08, it seems to explain in a simple manner

[sweet oyster]

in this context it's called flags and generally you combine multiple flags into 1 binary number so you can save storage

like in languages like c, 1 boolean would be 1 byte, which would be 8 bits but if you store them as bitwise flags, you can have 8 bits instead, which acts like 8 booleans (does that make sense? lol)

[light snow]

i do know the 8 bit for a boolean thing

[sweet oyster]

Yea, 1 bit can be 0 or 1, which can act like a boolean so instead of having 8 booleans (taking 64 bits), you can have 8 bits

And the operations aren't hard to understand, they're basic and, or. It'll help you understand them easily if you see them in binary

0000
0010 (or)

0010

This is why you say | is for adding bit

[light snow]

this is the reason each time i have an issue with them i take the node repl and run (whatever number).toString(2) lol

[sweet oyster]

They're easy once you see them in binary lol

[sweet oyster]

Does this make sense

[light snow]

with the binary it does make sense, it is just that seeing them in code takes a bit for me

[sweet oyster]

I'll explain more in #general when I'm back but in reality they're pretty easy to remember and work with

They just look hard lol

Once you understand it's easy

[fervent vortex]

So in theory if my bot has the message content intent my console log should be running? Not sure why it wouldn't be if this is the case.

      const applicationInfo = await manager.getApplicationInfo();

      const messageContent = 1 << 18;

      console.log(applicationInfo.flags); // 8953856
      if ((applicationInfo.flags & messageContent) === messageContent) {
        console.log('User has message content intent');
      }

have verified the application id is correct, so im definetly checking the correct one.

[sweet oyster]

The code is right. And I assume with the // 8953856 you mean that the value of applicationInfo.flags is 8953856 in which case it shouldn't log since it doesn't contain 1 << 18 flag

[sweet oyster]

How did you verify? From the returned info ?

[fervent vortex]

As far as I'm aware it should be containing this flag as I do have the message content intent enabled on this application. I've verified the app id is correct from the returned data of the call to getApplicationInfo()

[sweet oyster]

8953856 doesn't have 1<<18 is all I know, idk if 8953856 is the actual value nor if 1<<18 is the one for message content

[fervent vortex]

hmm, strange... 👀

https://discord.com/developers/docs/resources/application#application-object-application-flags

[sweet oyster]

1<<18 is wrong

https://github.com/Giveaway-Boat/custom-bot-util/blob/6256a2053cb20e250001dc6ab8c929a7ebdae8b9/index.js#L28

I check for direct value of 557056‎ and it doesn't have 1<<18

Also you're checking with gateway I guess

Lol

Nvm the link you sent isn't for gateway

Oh right

1<<19 it is I guess

Yea 1<<19

Idk how exactly it differs but docs says 18 is for bots in above 100 servers and 19 is for bots in below

[fervent vortex]

ugh.. sorry man thank you for pointing that out
