Channel.messages.fetch getting different values
My bot uses the embed fields to match an Array from the embed to their character stats. On Desktop this issue doesn't seem to happen. When testing the submit command from mobile the statRoll message is giving me 2 different values. Sometimes the embeds are there and sometimes they are gone. Everything else looks to be the same.
Correct response (no errors):
Embeds missing:

code:
let statRollMsg: Message<boolean>;
if (raw.configuration.abilityScoreType === StatGenerationMethodEnum.RolledStats) {
statRollMsg = await statChannel.messages.fetch(args.getString('staturl').split('/').pop());
if (isNullish(statRollMsg)) {
throw new Error(`Please enter the link to the correct message in <#${this.statRollChannelId}>`);
}
}

Can you show the code that posts the embeds, too?
Unrelated to your problem, but iirc
messages.fetch() will throw an error if the message doesn't exist, not return a nullish value. So, you should append .catch(() => null) to the fetch function.I had it in a larger try/catch but I can change that
larger try/catch is fine, but the
will never be reached
throw new Error(`Please enter the link to the correct message in <#${this.statRollChannelId}>`);
throw new Error(`Please enter the link to the correct message in <#${this.statRollChannelId}>`);
thank you teaching myself
It's because I was running
.pop() on the cached object changing it to an empty array. I should not be mutating cached structures. message.embeds[0] fixed it.
