Trouble with .awaitMessageComponent() - not detecting select menu interactions

UPDATE: I have made adjustments to the code based on waki285's recommendation, but unfortunately, the issue persists.

In accordance with the instructions provided in the discord.js guide on component interactions, I have been attempting to enable my select menu by utilizing an .awaitMessageComponent() function on the interaction reply. Below is the code snippet:

const selectMenu = new StringSelectMenuBuilder()
    .setCustomId("roleselect")
    .setPlaceholder("Select your role!")
    .addOptions(
        { label: "role1", value: "role1" },
        { label: "role2", value: "role2" }
    );

const prompt = await this.interaction.reply({
    content: "Please select your role!",
    ephemeral: true,
    components: [
        new ActionRowBuilder<StringSelectMenuBuilder>().addComponents(
            selectMenu
        ),
    ],
});

const menuInteraction = await prompt.awaitMessageComponent({
    filter: (interaction) =>
        interaction.user.id === this.interaction.user.id,
    time: 600 * 1000,
    componentType: ComponentType.StringSelect,
});

const selectedRoleValue = menuInteraction.values[0];

The visual representation of the select menu appears properly:

However, upon selecting an option, the interaction fails and the bot never reaches the line where selectedRoleValue is assigned:

Although the interaction is detected by my

client.on("interactionCreate", ...)
segment (where it is logged and disregarded), it fails to be recognized by the prompt.awaitMessageComponent() portion of the code. I also experimented with using a component collector instead, but encountered similar issues with interaction detection.

Your assistance in resolving this matter would be highly appreciated!

Answer №1

this.interaction.id is not the user ID being interacted with, but rather an internal ID for handling interactions.

For handling this interaction, use the following code:

const menuInteraction = await prompt.awaitMessageComponent({
    filter: (interaction) =>
        interaction.user.id === this.interaction.user.id,
    time: 600 * 1000,
    componentType: ComponentType.StringSelect,
});

Answer №2

I encountered a solution to the issue at hand. It seems that the problem stemmed from my use of this.interaction.reply(). Strangely, the awaitMessageComponent() function stopped listening for interactions after this point, despite what is specified in the documentation.

To resolve this, I switched to using this.interaction.followUp() instead (and ensured that earlier in the code, I included this.interaction.deferReply()). This adjustment effectively addressed the issue.

waki285's answer highlighted a valid concern in the initial version of the code: the original filter was

interaction.user.id === this.interaction.id

instead of

interaction.user.id === this.interaction.user.id

This discrepancy would have also led to failure.
