Description

When responding to an interaction with RespondAsync and not passing any parameters to the method the console logs an unhandled exception has occured. When adding a message it works just fine. Why does RespondAsync have a method overload without any parameters if using it throws an exception?

Version

3.13.1

Working Version

No response

Logs

log message: Connected
log message: Ready
log message: A InteractionCreated handler has thrown an unhandled exception.

Sample

public static async Task ButtonExecuted(SocketMessageComponent component)
{
    if (component.Data.CustomId == ButtonId)
    {
        //here I do some stuff
    }
    //I want discord to know, that i responded without sending any message
    await component.RespondAsync();
}

Packages

A discord message can't be empty, it must have at least one of:

  • content
  • embeds
  • components
  • stickers
  • attachments

Since only one of these is required - all parameters are optional on the RespondAsync/any other method that sends a message. While it may be confusing at first, the exception message actually explains describes what's caused the issue.

Make sure to also log logMessage.Exception so it gives you a better idea of what's went wrong.
