Multiple listeners on the same event ?

Hi, I'm trying to define two listeners for the same event (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: '...' } into the constructor (either via @ApplyOptions from @sapphire/decorators or with super())

Ok, thanks for clarifying that part for me. I find the role of the 'Router/Middleware' is bit confusing sometimes 😅 And that is what I tried before with no success. But now I've realized I had made a simple copy-paste mistake, and now it works like a charm. Thanks for your response !
