How can I get an ephemeral message of slash command?

[LEv145]

Code:

>>> channel: TextChannel
>>> command: SlashCommand
>>> result: Interaction = await command()
>>> result.message  
None  # But when the command was called, an ephemeral message was sent
>>> await channel.fetch_message(result.id)  
...
  File ".../discord/http.py", line 840, in get_message
    raise NotFound(_FakeResponse('Not Found', 404), 'message not found')  # type: ignore # _FakeResponse is not a real Response
discord.errors.NotFound: 404 Not Found (error code: 0): message not found

Interaction.message just searches through the local message cache, it isn't guaranteed to find anything. Interaction.id isn't a message ID so no message with its ID exists.

If you want to get a response semi-reliably, use Client.wait_for (with a reasonable timeout) or move the code that handles the message to an on_message handler.

Yes, it's works:

>>> message = await discord_client.wait_for(
...    "message",
...    check=lambda message: message.application_id == ...,
... )

But I can't get message.content

>>> message.content
""
>>> message.embeds
[]
>>> (await discord_client.http.get_message(
...     channel_id=command_message.channel.id,
...     message_id=command_message.id,
... )).content
discord.errors.NotFound: 404 Not Found (error code: 0): message not found  # This does not work with ephemeral messages, but it works with normal messages

@dolfies Still waiting on an update for this working and being able to read message.content for ephemeral messages.
