Message collector not working in thread

On discordjs 14.11.0. I cannot get a message collector to work in threads despite having no issue with other collectors such as for components. I've confirmed the thread is valid, as I can send messages to the thread using the same handle at the same point in the code. I have tried to log every event the collector triggers and I get a big load of nothing in the console, but it appears to instantiate correctly.

const collector = thread.createMessageCollector();

            collector.on('collect', async m => {
                console.log(`Collected ${m.content} | ${m.author.tag}`);
                // Find stickied message if it exists or create a new one
                const sticky_message: Message | undefined = event.sticky_message_id ? thread.messages.cache.find(m => m.id === event.sticky_message_id) : undefined;

                // If the message exists, edit it
                if (sticky_message)
                {
                    const embed = EventJobs.getStickyEmbed(event);
                    await sticky_message.edit({embeds: [embed]});
                }
                // Otherwise, create a new message
                else
                {
                    const embed = EventJobs.getStickyEmbed(event);
                    const message = await thread.send({embeds: [embed]});

                    // Save the sticky message id to the event
                    event.sticky_message_id = message.id;
                    await event.save();
                }
            });

            collector.on('dispose', console.error);
            collector.on('end', collected => console.log(`Collected ${collected.size} items`));
            collector.on('ignore', console.error);

            collector.handleCollect = async (message: Message) => {
                console.log("Handle collect called:", message.content);
            };
            collector.handleDispose = async (message: Message) => {
                console.log("Handle dispose called:", message.content);
            };            

            console.log(`Created message collector for thread ${thread.id}`);

const collector = thread.createMessageCollector();

            collector.on('collect', async m => {
                console.log(`Collected ${m.content} | ${m.author.tag}`);
                // Find stickied message if it exists or create a new one
                const sticky_message: Message | undefined = event.sticky_message_id ? thread.messages.cache.find(m => m.id === event.sticky_message_id) : undefined;

                // If the message exists, edit it
                if (sticky_message)
                {
                    const embed = EventJobs.getStickyEmbed(event);
                    await sticky_message.edit({embeds: [embed]});
                }
                // Otherwise, create a new message
                else
                {
                    const embed = EventJobs.getStickyEmbed(event);
                    const message = await thread.send({embeds: [embed]});

                    // Save the sticky message id to the event
                    event.sticky_message_id = message.id;
                    await event.save();
                }
            });

            collector.on('dispose', console.error);
            collector.on('end', collected => console.log(`Collected ${collected.size} items`));
            collector.on('ignore', console.error);

            collector.handleCollect = async (message: Message) => {
                console.log("Handle collect called:", message.content);
            };
            collector.handleDispose = async (message: Message) => {
                console.log("Handle dispose called:", message.content);
            };            

            console.log(`Created message collector for thread ${thread.id}`);

The bot has admin perms, all presence enabled, and is member of the thread.

Just updated to 14.12.1, no difference

treble/luna•10mo ago

do you have the messagecontent and GuildMessages intent? also iirc createMessage.... returns a promise

Ghetto•10mo ago

createMessageCollector isn't async if that's what you mean I will double check intents, I imagine the problem must lie there somewhere and it may have been misconfigured, as I don't believe there's anything wrong with the code Is there a way to manage intents without re-inviting the bot to the server?

treble/luna•10mo ago

you dont have to reinvite it? just add them restart it and done

Ghetto•10mo ago

ah okay, preciate it 😄 I believe it already had all intents, is there anything else I need to configure besides what I showed in the attached image? I gave the bot admin perms which I believe is the highest levels when I invited it

treble/luna•10mo ago

show your client constructor

Ghetto•10mo ago

new BotClient({ intents: [GatewayIntentBits.Guilds] });

new BotClient({ intents: [GatewayIntentBits.Guilds] });

I see

treble/luna•10mo ago

that would be your issue

Ghetto•10mo ago

❤️ Is there a way to give it all intents without specifying them all?

treble/luna•10mo ago

no that would also cause unecessary memory usage

Ghetto•10mo ago

understood, appreciate the help 👍
