Issue with Fetching User Details from Reactions in Discord.js

Hi! I'm encountering a challenge with retrieving user details from message reactions. Below is a detailed breakdown of my setup and the problem: 1. Discord.js and Node Versions: - Discord.js Version: 14.13.0 - Node Version: 18.18.0 2. Bot Configuration: - My bot is configured with the following intents and partials:

        const client = new Client({
            intents: [GatewayIntentBits.GuildMessageReactions, GatewayIntentBits.GuildMembers, GatewayIntentBits.Guilds, GatewayIntentBits.MessageContent, GatewayIntentBits.GuildMessages, GatewayIntentBits.DirectMessages],
            partials: [Partials.Message, Partials.Channel, Partials.Reaction]
        });

        const client = new Client({
            intents: [GatewayIntentBits.GuildMessageReactions, GatewayIntentBits.GuildMembers, GatewayIntentBits.Guilds, GatewayIntentBits.MessageContent, GatewayIntentBits.GuildMessages, GatewayIntentBits.DirectMessages],
            partials: [Partials.Message, Partials.Channel, Partials.Reaction]
        });

3. Process Reactions Function: - The processReactions function, which is supposed to fetch reactions and their user details, is defined as:

        const processReactions = async (message: Message<boolean>[]) => {
            try {
                let reactions = await fetchReactionsFromMessage(message);
                for (const reaction of reactions) {
                    await fetchReactionUsers(reaction);
                }
            } catch (error) {
                // Error handling
            }
        }

        const processReactions = async (message: Message<boolean>[]) => {
            try {
                let reactions = await fetchReactionsFromMessage(message);
                for (const reaction of reactions) {
                    await fetchReactionUsers(reaction);
                }
            } catch (error) {
                // Error handling
            }
        }

4. Fetch Reaction Users Function: - The fetchReactionUsers function is intended to retrieve users from a given reaction:

        export async function fetchReactionUsers(reaction: MessageReaction): Promise<User[]> {
            let result: User[] = [];
            try {
                let users = await reaction.users.fetch();
                for (const user of users.values()) {
                    result.push(user);
                }
                return result;
            } catch (error) {
                logger.error(error, `Error fetching reaction users`);
                return result;
            }
        }

        export async function fetchReactionUsers(reaction: MessageReaction): Promise<User[]> {
            let result: User[] = [];
            try {
                let users = await reaction.users.fetch();
                for (const user of users.values()) {
                    result.push(user);
                }
                return result;
            } catch (error) {
                logger.error(error, `Error fetching reaction users`);
                return result;
            }
        }

5. Issue Description: - Despite this setup, I'm unable to access the user details of the reactions. I successfully get the reactions, but the user information is not being retrieved as expected. 6. Request for Assistance: - I would greatly appreciate any insights or suggestions on resolving this issue. Thank you for your help!

What is the issue? What do you expect?

LunarRage | DNA•7mo ago

I was expecting to get users who utilized the reaction.

Syjalo•7mo ago

So it returns an empty array?

LunarRage | DNA•7mo ago

yea I can see emoji details and the message id but user array is empty I assumed fetching them manually would populate that array but, still empty

Syjalo•7mo ago

Show the code how did you check it's empty

LunarRage | DNA•7mo ago

Oh did I post it incorrectly? I have it broken down in the original post. I essentially logged the contents of the fetchReactionUsers to the logger

  export async function fetchReactionUsers(reaction: MessageReaction): Promise<User[]> {
       let result: User[] = [];
       try {
           let users = await reaction.users.fetch();
           for (const user of users.values()) {
               result.push(user);
           }
           return result;
       } catch (error) {
           logger.error(error, `Error fetching reaction users`);
           return result;
       }
   }

  export async function fetchReactionUsers(reaction: MessageReaction): Promise<User[]> {
       let result: User[] = [];
       try {
           let users = await reaction.users.fetch();
           for (const user of users.values()) {
               result.push(user);
           }
           return result;
       } catch (error) {
           logger.error(error, `Error fetching reaction users`);
           return result;
       }
   }

It should return the users if there're some. Show how did you log it.

LunarRage | DNA•7mo ago

Currently using pino. This is on the MessageReaction object.

users: {
      "reaction": {
        "messageId": "Hidden-ID",
        "me": false,
        "users": [],
        "count": 1,
        "emojiId": {
          "animated": null,
          "name": "🔥",
          "id": null,
          "reaction": "🔥",
          "identifier": "%F0%9F%94%A5"
        }
      }
    }

users: {
      "reaction": {
        "messageId": "Hidden-ID",
        "me": false,
        "users": [],
        "count": 1,
        "emojiId": {
          "animated": null,
          "name": "🔥",
          "id": null,
          "reaction": "🔥",
          "identifier": "%F0%9F%94%A5"
        }
      }
    }

I don't need the log. I need the code where you logged it and used processReactions or fetchReactionUsers.

LunarRage | DNA•7mo ago

Ah I see what happened, My issue was to iterate over the Collection<string,User> I assume I could just log the full object to the console. This works

 
if(users){
            logger.info(`users found ${users.map((user)=>user.username)}`);
        }

 
if(users){
            logger.info(`users found ${users.map((user)=>user.username)}`);
        }
