discordMessage: Payload empty

skythe83 commented 1 year ago

Hi community, it seems I'm the only person having this issue, but I'm posting this as a last resort, before reinstalling all of Raspbian.

Hard- & Software:

Device: Raspberry PI 1 B+ Kernel: Linux pi 5.15.56+ #1575 Fri Jul 22 20:26:40 BST 2022 armv6l GNU/Linux OS: Raspbian bullseye Node-RED version: v3.0.2 Node.js version: v16.17.0

The issue:

regardless of what I do, both msg.payload and msg.data.content from discordMessage module remain empty. Every other value including author name+id, message id (msg.data.id) are filled. The discordSendMessage is also behaving weirdly, as it complains about msg.channel not being set, even though it's set in the module itself. So I had to put another module in front, which sets the msg.channel value.

What I did before it stopped working:

I upgraded node-red from some early version 1.7 or similar to v3.0.2. This immediately broke node-red, as I still had a very old node.js version installed (presumably 10.x, whereas new node-red requires >12), so I compiled and installed LTS version v16.17.0, as no armv6 binaries were available.

What I tried, in order to fix it:

Ran npm update, including audit force fix.
Uninstalled node-red, deleted .node-red/node_modules, then installed node-red and needed modules again.
Tried, but failed compiling the latest node.js 18. Currently still compiling with modified CXXFLAGS.
Built a very simple flow, discordMessage connected to a debug node. Looked at the output.

Other notes:

The issue happens in both node-red-contrib-discord and -advanced. All other modules that I'm using, including mqtt, e-mail, http in/out and sqlite are working just fine.

What I'd like to do (but lack the skills): I'd like to create a tiny discord.js client which emulates the behavior of discordMessage and outputs whatever users type to console.log. I fail at getting the example on the discord.js page running though. This could help me in tracking the issue.

Any help would be most appreciated. Thanks! Robert

Did you enable Message Content Intent? You can join us on discord if you want to. Javier

Thanks Javier for the quick reply. I'll try that although my bot is really just my own one server with 3 or 4 channels. It's doing smart home stuff for me.

This + re-deploying all nodes has solved the issue. Thanks a lot!
