Hi, yes I am the one posting a help thread.
I don't remember if that's something possible, but can you force to delete an ephemeral message using components that were sent in that ephemeral message?

await ctx.delete(msg), where msg is the ephemeral message gives me back a 404 error

storm vine Jun 23, 2023, 12:17 PM

#

Yes you can, but not in v5 xD

karmic ether Jun 23, 2023, 12:18 PM

#

croissangry

#

that's what I thought, I looked through the help threads but this question was only answered for v4

#

why is it not implemented?

storm vine Jun 23, 2023, 12:19 PM

#

can you try message.delete(context=ctx)

#

But I think it wont work

karmic ether Jun 23, 2023, 12:21 PM

#

nope same thing

storm vine Jun 23, 2023, 12:22 PM

#

Then yes, it's just not implemented

karmic ether Jun 23, 2023, 12:22 PM

#

bruh

karmic ether Jun 23, 2023, 12:57 PM

#

await self.bot.http.delete_interaction_message(self.bot.app.id, ctx.token)
Ok so I was able to do it this way, by looking at v4 source code

#

I find it kinda weird because in this case, ctx is not the context from the button pressed but actually from the context that created the button (for me a slash command)

#

but whatever it works. I'm not implementing it in v5 because Idk how it would be done exactly

stiff hazel Jun 23, 2023, 1:23 PM

#

i would do await ctx.delete(message) in v5 usually

karmic ether Jun 23, 2023, 1:27 PM

#

yeah but the issue is that you need the base ctx, not the one when pressing the button

#

so I did it using wait_for_component

stiff hazel Jun 23, 2023, 1:29 PM

#

huh... it should literally be doing the http request from v4

#

i see, the @original part must be the reason

#

weird that it doesnt work with an id, but i guess fair enough

karmic ether Jun 23, 2023, 1:32 PM

#

karmic ether `await self.bot.http.delete_interaction_message(self.bot.app.id, ctx.token)` Ok ...

This code using the context that already got an answer (the ephemeral message): WORKS
This code using the button pressed context: 404 ERROR

#

the weird thing being that, normally the context you would have is the second one

fast haven Jul 10, 2023, 6:11 PM

#

will this be propertly implemented any time soon?

stiff hazel Jul 10, 2023, 6:12 PM

#

ive been chasing bugs left and right - this one slipped me by 😅

#

i'll pr it after 5.8.0

fast haven Jul 10, 2023, 6:16 PM

#

nice

karmic ether This code using the context that already got an answer (the ephemeral message): ...

For me, the button context works

brisk dagger Jul 10, 2023, 7:42 PM

#

karmic ether `await ctx.delete(msg)`, where msg is the ephemeral message gives me back a 404 ...

this works for me:

msg = await ctx.send('Success!', ephemeral=True)
await ctx.delete(msg.id)

karmic ether Jul 10, 2023, 7:43 PM

#

look Idk

#

you guys have ressuscitated a post where I had a hacky way to solve it xD

#

but if it works for you cool

brisk dagger Jul 10, 2023, 7:44 PM

#

ohh wait this is old...

#

was at top and I thought it was a new post... oops

feat: add default to delete/edit init interaction msg

• Pull Request Type: Feature addition
• Created: <t:1689277688:R>

Description

This PR adds a default value for the message in InteractionContext.edit/delete that deletes the initial interaction response. Many people were getting confused at those two not doing exactly this, resulting in things that seemed like bugs to them.

Changes

Add @original as the default message for InteractionContext.edit/delete, and pass them directly in if the message is that. Discord handles the rest.

(its not really a fix because it turns out this wasnt a bug at all - just makes deleting/editing a lot better)

stiff hazel "fixed" in #1481

i was keeping track of this thread because i was waiting to do something like component_ctx.message.delete(), is that this? 😅

#

(for ephemeral messages where im getting 404s)

stiff hazel Jul 16, 2023, 8:31 PM

#

its more like component_ctx.delete()

#

but yes

strange tiger Jul 16, 2023, 8:32 PM

#

thanks :)

stiff hazel Jul 16, 2023, 8:32 PM

#

strange tiger Jul 16, 2023, 8:33 PM
