Multiple listeners on the same event ?

Hi, I'm trying to define two listeners for the same event (

chatInputCommandError

chatInputCommandError

)

My folder is organised as such:
src >
listeners >
commands >
chatInputCommandError.ts
chatInputCommandErrorBis.ts

I want to handle some different types of errors in these two files.

In these two files it's basically like so:

export class UserEvent extends Listener<typeof Events.ChatInputCommandError> {
    public override async run(error: UserError, { interaction }: ChatInputCommandErrorPayload) {
    
        if (Reflect.get(Object(error.context), 'silent')) return;
        if (UserUsageError.isUserUsageError(error)) return; // If it's an error for the other file, return

                 // Do the stuff

    }
}

export class UserEvent extends Listener<typeof Events.ChatInputCommandError> {
    public override async run(error: UserError, { interaction }: ChatInputCommandErrorPayload) {
    
        if (Reflect.get(Object(error.context), 'silent')) return;
        if (UserUsageError.isUserUsageError(error)) return; // If it's an error for the other file, return

                 // Do the stuff

    }
}

The issue is that the second file is never fired on errors, only the first one.

What did I miss in the docs to make that work ?

Thanks

Solution

Listeners detect which events they should be listening to by the file name, not the generic type. If the file name does not match the event, pass

{ event: '...' }

{ event: '...' }

into the constructor (either via

@ApplyOptions

@ApplyOptions
