Ignoring Precondition Failures

I'm working on a precondition that I wanna ignore on the ChatInputCommandDenied listener. The documentation suggests to a add information on the context in the Precondition
export class MyDummyPreconditions extends Precondition {
chatInputRun(
interaction: ChatInputCommandInteraction,
command: ChatInputCommand,
context: Precondition.Context
): Precondition.Result {
return this.error({ message: 'Ignored message', context: { silent: true } });
}
}
export class MyDummyPreconditions extends Precondition {
chatInputRun(
interaction: ChatInputCommandInteraction,
command: ChatInputCommand,
context: Precondition.Context
): Precondition.Result {
return this.error({ message: 'Ignored message', context: { silent: true } });
}
}
and check for it in ChatInputCommandDenied.
export class ChatInputCommandDeniedListener extends Listener<typeof Events.ChatInputCommandDenied> {
public async run({ context, message: content }: UserError, { interaction }: ChatInputCommandDeniedPayload) {
if (Reflect.get(Object(context), 'silent')) return;

if (interaction.deferred || interaction.replied) {
return interaction.editReply({
content,
allowedMentions: { users: [interaction.user.id], roles: [] }
});
}

return interaction.reply({
content,
allowedMentions: { users: [interaction.user.id], roles: [] },
ephemeral: true
});
}
}
export class ChatInputCommandDeniedListener extends Listener<typeof Events.ChatInputCommandDenied> {
public async run({ context, message: content }: UserError, { interaction }: ChatInputCommandDeniedPayload) {
if (Reflect.get(Object(context), 'silent')) return;

if (interaction.deferred || interaction.replied) {
return interaction.editReply({
content,
allowedMentions: { users: [interaction.user.id], roles: [] }
});
}

return interaction.reply({
content,
allowedMentions: { users: [interaction.user.id], roles: [] },
ephemeral: true
});
}
}
That works but I realized that the interaction response will be:
The application did not respond
Is that expected or did I miss something?
Solution:
Only button ones can update a message with the same content and be fine

you're not. Interactions have to be replied to. I never really thought about it but yeah the guide needs to be adjusted for that. Not sure what the proper fix would be. Not sure if interaction.reply() works... @Vladdy can interactions just be acknowledged but without an actual reply to the user?

no interactions NEED to send something

I suppose the least you can send then is a single zero width space but probably to just reply something then, but reply ephemeral so it's only visible to the user

don't suppose you can make a PR to adjust that bit of text in the guide @danielpassos ? Would save me doing it haha
