Channel.GetMessage 404 about discord.net HOT 6 CLOSED

To clarify - this was part of a temporary workaround to deal with some issues related to the MessageQueue. GetMessage() in 1.0 will return null if a message doesn't exist, as it used to pre-0.9.

This is the expected behavior, the client will handle all errors that it experiences internally for you.

You are correct, the Message object is not null. The easiest way to verify whether a message exists or not is to check whether Message.User is null.

How do i get the Message object when i need to call Channel.GetMessage to retrieve a Message Object from a stored ID? There lays my problem.

from discord.net.

Channel.GetMessage() always returns a Message. If you have a stored ID, simply feed that ID into GetMessage, and check whether the User field of the returned Message is null.

Sample:

var message = _channel.GetMessage(storedId);
if (message.User == null) return; // The message doesn't exist

Ahh so it does, i thought that it was just killing the execution, would still prefer getting a null object directly, since it would give a NullReference exception which would leave a clearer picture.

I guess i'll close this issue and if @RogueException decides to implement such logic than lucky me (And the NullReference i'll get when i update), if not i guess i'll live.

Thanks @420foxbot

This logic is currently being implemented into 1.0, see the /ref/ project on dev.
