Description

I have some command in my bot where I used this method to inform the user about the current stage from the process, but today I noticed somewhy now it's not working.

Maybe something changed about the Discord API, because I get the same problem on the previous Discord.NET versions.

The problem exists in 3.9.0 too, that was the lowest what I was able to go with my current bot codes, so maybe it's something about the Discord API.

Version

3.13.0

public async Task Test(bool ephemeral)

    await DeferAsync(ephemeral: ephemeral);
    IUserMessage msg = await FollowupAsync("Test", ephemeral: ephemeral);

iirc FollowupAsync returns a RestFollowupMessage. So try using this type instead.

[FemLolStudio]

Hmm, okey. Yeah now its working. But it's actually returning an IUserMessage instead of RestFollowupMessage so thats confusing.

Now in this form it's working:

[SlashCommand("ephemeral-test", "Testing bug")]
public async Task Test(bool ephemeral)
{
    await DeferAsync(ephemeral: ephemeral);
    RestFollowupMessage msg = (RestFollowupMessage)await FollowupAsync("Test", ephemeral: ephemeral);
    await msg.ModifyAsync(x => x.Content = "Test success");
}

But it's actually returning an IUserMessage instead of RestFollowupMessage so thats confusing.

Hmm yeah, that's because of an abstraction layer. Actual method impls in Rest/SocketInteraction return a RestFollowupMessage. I'll see if we can change this.

How could you first not respond with a file and then afterwards modifying it with a uploading a file to the message?

How could you not ask for support in the discord

[realdisplyy]

Okay sorry
