Asynchronous user fetching causing issues with embeds and buttons

Hi, I'm using redis to track the number of messages a user has sent in a thread and I store it in a hash using the userid as the key. I'm trying to get the user's name to use it as the label for a button. My code goes over an array of IDs and for each ID it grabs the username and adds a button to an actionrow. The cache is undefined for some reason so I'm using interaction.guild?.members.fetch(<user id>). The issue being that awaiting that method causes some weird issues (see the pastebin) and not awaiting it returns nothing as expected. The function it's in is async... https://pastebin.com/t4sdXMTp

discord.js 14.11.0 node 16 LTS Here's a code snippet

if (helpers.length > 0) {

    const row = new ActionRowBuilder<ButtonBuilder>()
    logger.debug(`Helpers: ${helpers}`)

    for (const helper of helpers) {
        const user = await interaction.guild?.members.fetch(helper)
        row.addComponents(new ButtonBuilder({ customId: `${this.name}.${helper}`, label: `${user.username}`, style: ButtonStyle.Success, emoji: `👍` }))
    }
    embed.setDescription(helpers.length > 1 ? 'It looks like these users helped you, do you want to give them kudos?' : 'It looks like this user helped you, do you want to give them kudos?')
    await interaction.reply({ embeds: [embed], components: [row], fetchReply: true })
}

}

I'll try that I probably tried it already though but who knows give it a sec teamcity needs to build the image Either my Types are messed up somehow or TS is dumb but it keeps telling me there is no displayname anywhere to be found

GuildMember#displayName The nickname of this member, or their username if they don't have one

Poulette•13mo ago

it's saying client.users.fetch returns a User not a GuildMember

Despite sounding similar there is a distinct difference between users and members in Discord: • User: global Discord user data (global avatar, username, tag, id) • GuildMember: user data associated to a guild (guild, nickname, roles, voice, guild avatar, etc.) • Conversion: User ➞ GuildMember | GuildMember ➞ User * Note: Events received in cached guilds will often have both the member and user available, eg. interaction.user and interaction.member

I see nice bot btw I've changed the var names so it's not as weird

const name = interaction.guild?.members.cache.get(helper)?.displayName
                row.addComponents(new ButtonBuilder({ customId: `${this.name}.${helper}`, label: `${name}`, style: ButtonStyle.Success, emoji: `👍` }))

const name = interaction.guild?.members.cache.get(helper)?.displayName
                row.addComponents(new ButtonBuilder({ customId: `${this.name}.${helper}`, label: `${name}`, style: ButtonStyle.Success, emoji: `👍` }))

and it's undefined ah fuk wrong methods it shouldn't be undefined though I know the user is in the guild though, do they need to speak or smth to be added to the cache ? oh that's cool yeah I checked all that that's cause my brain is small and I used the wrong method
