`MessageType` for every message is `MessageType.default`

NexWasTaken commented 2 years ago

Summary

MessageType for messages should be MessageType.reply and more but it's only MessageType.default

Reproduction Steps

Go through a channel's history using the history method.
Get the list of messages.
The type field of almost every message is MessageType.default when in lots of cases it should be MessageType.reply

Code

async def get_messages(channel: discord.TextChannel):
    messages: list[discord.Message] = await channel.history(limit=10000).flatten()
    # THIS SHOULD FILTER OUT REPLIES BUT IT DOESN'T SINCE THE REPLIES ALSO HAVE MESSAGETYPE.DEFAULT
    messages = [
        message for message in messages if message.type == discord.MessageType.default
    ]
    print(channel.name, len(messages))
    return messages

Expected Results

The type should've been MessageType.reply

Actual Results

The type was MessageType.default

You are using deprecated version of discord.py-self. It works well in alpha version.

API v6 sends replies as regular messages. Use the alpha.
