Bot doesn't relay Discord->Matrix messages since yesterday

[z411]

Describe the bug Since yesterday the bot isn't bridging any Discord messages to Matrix. It bridges events like avatar and name changes, but not messages. Only Matrix -> Discord messages are bridged, but not Discord -> Matrix.

Expected behavior Messages between both Matrix and Discord should bridge.

Logs Nothing seems wrong here. I tried to bridge a room, but even though the bot can send the "please type !matrix approve" to Discord, it won't listen to it and never react.

As seen in the logs, the homeserver is now Synapse/1.66 since I updated it to see if that was the issue. The problem started suddenly when no change was made to the server at all.

Experiencing the same issue. Perhaps Discord has gone through with requiring higher "intents" in their API to read messages? So annoying...

[z411]

Glad to know I'm not the only one. It also seems to me Discord might've changed something on their end...

[luphoria]

It's my speculation that's what happened because that's what they have been pushing for with their "intents API" for the new slash-command bots

[luphoria]

I found that I already had Message Content Intent enabled. This will probably have to be fixed upstream :(

[z411]

Same here. I tried enabling the intents and also kicking out and re-inviting the bot to the Discord guild to no avail. It keeps relaying name and avatar changes though, it's really weird.

[z411]

@luphoria I managed to fix the issue. I updated the bot (git pull), recompiled it, and recreated the discord-registration.yaml file with the node build/src/discordas.js -r -u "http://localhost:9005" -c config.yaml command then copied it again to the Synapse installation. I also deleted discord.db (although this shouldn't be done but it didn't do any harm in my case) then restarted and rebridged all the roms. Everything works perfectly now. Apparently something got fixed, and I had updated but I had to recreate the discord-registration.yaml file. Tell me if it works for you.

I don't know how to do any of this, I just bundled the matrix-as-discord with the ansible playbook. But i will get around to trying to tinker this soon

[verymilan]

same problem here ... (but not for all bridged channels it looks like)

[Aterfax]

I had to set usePrivilegedIntents: true today in order to get Discord ----> Matrix messages flowing so this is likely still a general issue for people.

Services were setup today on the most recent Synapse ("1.70.1") / bridging client version (commit: ac5180ed11e67ea9c1e6467941148b90dd122fb5) using docker.

[z411]

Thank you, I'll try enabling this.

[Aterfax]

Thank you, I'll try enabling this.

Make sure to also enable it on the Discord bot permissions as shown a bit further above at https://discord.com/developers/applications/$YOUR_BOT_ID/bot :

[verymilan]

I can confirm that this helped, thanks!
