I've been trying to make a small bot and I'm having some trouble with the components in a post.

I have the following method generating the components to be passed to CreatePostAsync:

private MessageComponent CreateChoreList()
{
    var messageComponents = new List<IMessageComponentBuilder>
    {
        new TextDisplayBuilder().WithContent("# 📝 As Tuas Tarefas"),
    };

    foreach (var chore in chores)
    {
        var messageContent = new StringBuilder()
            .AppendLine($"## 🔹 {chore.Title}")
            .AppendLine($"**📝 Descrição**: {chore.Description}")
            .AppendLine($"**📅 Criado**: {chore.CreatedAt:g}")
            .AppendLine($"**✏️ Atualizado**: {(chore.UpdatedAt.HasValue ? chore.UpdatedAt.Value.ToString("g") : "Nunca")}");

        var sectionBuilder = new SectionBuilder()
            .WithComponents([new TextDisplayBuilder().WithContent(messageContent.ToString())])
            .WithAccessory(new ButtonBuilder()
            // TODO: Replace with constant
            .WithCustomId($"complete_chore:{chore.Id}")
            .WithStyle(ButtonStyle.Success)
            .WithDisabled(false)
            // TODO: Replace with constant
            .WithEmote(new Emoji("✅"))
            // TODO: Replace with constant
            .WithLabel("Completar Tarefa"));

        messageComponents.Add(new SeparatorBuilder());
        messageComponents.Add(sectionBuilder);
    }

    var containerBuilder = new ContainerBuilder()
        .WithComponents(messageComponents)
        .WithAccentColor(Color.DarkBlue);

    var componentsV2 = new ComponentBuilderV2()
        .AddComponent(containerBuilder);

    return componentsV2.Build();
}

As shown in the picture, it looks as I expected except the buttons are disabled.

My question would be how can I make the buttons work? I'm sure I missed something stupid but I am super new with this library.

CreatePostAsync

#

i don't recall exactly, but there is a quirk with discord itself

#

when the components on a thread starter message are not usable inside the thread (??) or the opposite way

#

hmm ok, not sure I'm understanding

#

you're saying that maybe I'm not using the button in the thread itself?

#

and would this be something just for the thread starter?

queen gust you're saying that maybe I'm not using the button in the thread itself?

might be that
as i said, i dont remember exactly which way this works and which doesn't

#

it's either

components on a thread starter message
not usable in the thread

components on a thread starter message
not usable outside of the thread
one of these is correct

That's the only case where components may get forced to disabled (apart from message forwards)

#

ok, so I'll try to make it not the thread starter

#

even when it's not the thread starter I have the same behaviour

#

private static async Task InteractionCreatedAsync(SocketInteraction interaction)
{
    if (interaction is SocketMessageComponent component)
    {
        Match match = Regex.Match(
            component.Data.CustomId,
            @"complete_chore:([0-9A-Fa-f]{8}-?([0-9A-Fa-f]{4}-?){3}[0-9A-Fa-f]{12})$");

        if (match.Success)
        {
            string guidString = match.Groups[1].Value;
            if (Guid.TryParse(guidString, out Guid choreId))
            {
                await interaction.RespondAsync($"Tarefa {choreId} completada.");
            }
            else
            {
                await interaction.RespondAsync("Erro.");
            }
        }
    }
}

this is the what I have checking the buttons, sure I'm doing something wrong
