Replies for interactions has different author than the client

[hi563145]

Which package is this bug report for?

discord.js

Issue description

I wrote a bot that echoes the messages that are sent by users of a discord guild. However, the bot also echoes the replies sent after an interaction. I would expect it to be the same user as the client but it is not. I only tested with slash commands but it may be same for other interactions.

Code sample

// When a message is sent
client.on('messageCreate', async (message) => {
  // Do nothing if message coming from it self
  if (message.author == client.user) return;
  // message.author == client.user returns false when bot replies with Pong!

  // Echoing message
  message.channel.send(message.content);
});

// Bot Commands
client.on('interactionCreate', async interaction => {
  if (!interaction.isCommand()) return;

  const { commandName } = interaction;

  if (commandName == 'ping') {
    await interaction.reply('Pong!');
  }
});

You shouldn't compare two class instances with an equality operator as this is very likely to produce wrong results, especially when using lazy comparisons. You should compare the IDs instead.
