DeferReply problem

Hello I want my code to clean up components under message that button was clicked and then send new message. i got this effect by update first and then sending followup

await interaction.update({components: []})
        await interaction.followup({content: 'This is a follow-up message.', components: [row]});

await interaction.update({components: []})
        await interaction.followup({content: 'This is a follow-up message.', components: [row]});

This code works as intended but when i add deferReply this code end every time with error:

Error [InteractionAlreadyReplied]: The reply to this interaction has already been sent or deferred.

Error [InteractionAlreadyReplied]: The reply to this interaction has already been sent or deferred.

Do you have idea how would i fix that?

you have to use editReply when deferring

Sure thing but when i do update first then editReply i got Code:

await interaction.deferReply();
        await new Promise(resolve => setTimeout(resolve, 5000));

        await interaction.update({components: []})
        await interaction.editReply({content: 'This is a follow-up message.');

await interaction.deferReply();
        await new Promise(resolve => setTimeout(resolve, 5000));

        await interaction.update({components: []})
        await interaction.editReply({content: 'This is a follow-up message.');

Error:

replace update with editReply

SzyMoon•6mo ago

interaction update deletes components under clicked message in that case, i cant editReply that i think. Or am i wrong?

treble/luna•6mo ago

Use deferUpdate then

SzyMoon•6mo ago

deferUpdate also throws error already replied

treble/luna•6mo ago

but did you use editReply afterwards

SzyMoon•6mo ago

Yup i messed up order. It works like this

await interaction.deferReply();
        await interaction.deferUpdate({components: []})
        await interaction.editReply({content: 'This is a follow-up message.'});

await interaction.deferReply();
        await interaction.deferUpdate({components: []})
        await interaction.editReply({content: 'This is a follow-up message.'});

Thank you so much for help!

that should error though you can either deferReply which will show a ...is thinking message or deferUpdate which just expects you to update the message later on with editReply

SzyMoon•6mo ago

You are right. ok i didnt reload my code it works like this.

await interaction.deferUpdate()
        await interaction.editReply({components:[]});
        await interaction.followUp({content:"test"})

await interaction.deferUpdate()
        await interaction.editReply({components:[]});
        await interaction.followUp({content:"test"})

It's a shame that bot doesnt show that works to update something Thank you once again!
