Describe the bug

I can't in any way to make the pagination. Not even copying and pasting the code in README. Could you please write me a complete whole code?

Expected behavior

A complete sample code that I can copy and paste

[ygimenez]

Could you show me how you're doing it? Also, what kind of issues are you having?

[avurro]

Only the first page appears, the buttons do not appear. Code follows:

List<Page> pages = new ArrayList<>();
for (Entry<String, List<Class<?>>> page : this.commandsCategory.entrySet())
    pages.add(makePage(event, page.getKey(), page.getValue()));

event.getChannel().sendMessage((Message) pages.get(0).getContent()).queue(success -> {
            Pages.paginate(success, pages, 60, TimeUnit.SECONDS);
});

private Page makePage(MessageReceivedEvent event, String category, List<Class<?>> commandsClasses) {

    MessageBuilder eb = new MessageBuilder();
    eb.setContent("text");
    return new Page(PageType.TEXT, eb.build());
}

In Main:

public static void main(String[] args){
   ...      
   try {
            jda = JDABuilder.createLight(getBottoken(), GatewayIntent.GUILD_MESSAGES)
                    .addEventListeners(new MessageListener())
                    .build();
            jda.awaitReady();
            Pages.activate(jda);
   } catch (LoginException e) {
   ...

[avurro]

Can you please just write me a complete working piece of code?

[ygimenez]

Your code is correct, do you get any error in the console? If you use EmbedBuilder instead of MessageBuilder does it work?

[avurro]

Same result with EmbedBuilder. Can you please just write me a complete working piece of code that I can copy and paste?

[ygimenez]

Does this work? Please check the console for any error.

List<Page> pages = new ArrayList<>();

EmbedBuilder eb = new EmbedBuilder();
for (int i = 0; i < 5; i++) {
    eb.setDescription("Test " + i);
    pages.add(new Page(PageType.EMBED, eb.build()));
} 

event.getChannel().sendMessage((MessageEmbed) pages.get(0).getContent()).queue(s -> {
    Pages.paginate(s, pages, 60, TimeUnit.SECONDS);
});

[avurro]

Are you sure your code works? Can you try it yourself please?

[ygimenez]

It does work, I use it exactly like that in my bot's code, are you sure you have all the required permissions? Could you please check if no exception were thrown in the console?

[avurro]

No exceptions are thrown, it just doesn't work. Can you show me how you set up JDA?

are you sure you have all the required permissions?

My bot has admin permissions

[avurro]

I finally understood what the problem is, the bot must have the following explicit intentions:

GatewayIntent.GUILD_MESSAGES
GatewayIntent.GUILD_MESSAGE_REACTIONS

I am using JDABuilder.createLight and these permissions are not set by default as is the case with JDABuilder.createDefault which is what you probably use.

You should make this explicit in the documentation.

[ygimenez]

Honesty I didn't know createLight removed such basic intents, I'll add a note about it next to required permissions. Thanks for pointing out the solution.
