I'm trying to dynamically check for reactions on the message that was replied to, and it works fine when I paste the literal message id, but when I assign it to a variable, it gives a TypeError: Cannot read properties of null (reading 'users').
I used msg.fetchReference() to get the reference message, and it's assigned to repliedTo. I've confirmed that repliedTo.id gives the id that worked when I pasted it in, and that the variable returns a string.
cacheChannel.messages.fetch(repliedTo.id).then(reactionMessage => {
reactionMessage.reactions.resolve('📌').users.fetch().then(userList => {
userList.map((user) => {
if (user.id === 'testID') {
console.log('already reacted');
}
});
});
});
Side note: I originally tried this without trying to fetch the message as it is now, and just using repliedTo instead of reactionMessage, but I had the same issue.
So the problem is, when the ID mixed with letters it gives an error? You can use isNaN function to return it if the Id doesn't have any numbers or the id got mixed with letters.
cacheChannel.messages.fetch(repliedTo.id).then(reactionMessage => {
reactionMessage.reactions.resolve('📌').users.fetch().then(userList => {
userList.map((user) => {
if(isNaN(user.id)) {
return message.reply("Your_Message")
} else if (user.id === 'testID') {
console.log('already reacted');
}
});
});
});Or you can use try {} catch {} function.
cacheChannel.messages.fetch(repliedTo.id).then(reactionMessage => {
reactionMessage.reactions.resolve('📌').users.fetch().then(userList => {
userList.map((user) => {
try {
if (user.id === 'testID') {
console.log('already reacted');
}
} catch {
return message.reply("Your_Message")
}
});
});
});
