so i got a piece of code to fetch the first message in forum thread post
which was working before but idk exactly what got changed that its not working properly now

so the piece of code i have is

//IDK WHAT THE FUCK IS THIS PART
            const messages2 = await thread.messages.fetch()
            const messages1 = await thread.messages.fetch({
                limit: 1,
                after: thread.id,
            })
            //IDK WHAT THE FUCK IS THIS PART

            const message = await thread.messages.fetch({
                limit: 1,
                after: 0,
            })
            console.log(message)

//IDK WHAT THE FUCK IS THIS PART
            const messages2 = await thread.messages.fetch()
            const messages1 = await thread.messages.fetch({
                limit: 1,
                after: thread.id,
            })
            //IDK WHAT THE FUCK IS THIS PART

            const message = await thread.messages.fetch({
                limit: 1,
                after: 0,
            })
            console.log(message)

//IDK WHAT THE FUCK IS THIS PART
            const messages2 = await thread.messages.fetch()
            const messages1 = await thread.messages.fetch({
                limit: 1,
                after: thread.id,
            })
            //IDK WHAT THE FUCK IS THIS PART

            const message = await thread.messages.fetch({
                limit: 1,
                after: 0,
            })
            console.log(message)

//IDK WHAT THE FUCK IS THIS PART
            const messages2 = await thread.messages.fetch()
            const messages1 = await thread.messages.fetch({
                limit: 1,
                after: thread.id,
            })
            //IDK WHAT THE FUCK IS THIS PART

            const message = await thread.messages.fetch({
                limit: 1,
                after: 0,
            })
            console.log(message)

you might ask what is that comment , well idk either

i didnt have that on my original code , and i only had the

thread.messages.fetch({
                limit: 1,
                after: 0,
            })

thread.messages.fetch({
                limit: 1,
                after: 0,
            })

thread.messages.fetch({
                limit: 1,
                after: 0,
            })

thread.messages.fetch({
                limit: 1,
                after: 0,
            })

but without that code between comments , my message is somehow not fetched and if i log message.size it returns 0 ( this whole code happens in

threadCreate

threadCreate

threadCreate

threadCreate

event.

its all good till here and when i

console.log(message)

console.log(message)

console.log(message)

console.log(message)

i get a collection which means it got the message

and the message im testing this event on has a Mention user in it.

Original message was deleted

V

VioletOP•3/10/24, 12:07 PM

thanks for the tip
earlier i tried adding a timeout before fetching the message ( it was 5 second and it was still the same )
do u have any idea how long it takes for the message to exist?

V

VioletOP•3/10/24, 12:07 PM

like is there an average or it depends on the amount of attachments and it varies

Original message was deleted

V

VioletOP•3/10/24, 12:09 PM

V

VioletOP•3/10/24, 12:09 PM
