Interaction has already been acknowledged when using a different button

Question

I am getting the interaction has already been acknowledged error. Basically when the command is called the first time, the button and the modal work just fine. The second time, the button appears but then shows the modal and throws the "DiscordAPIError: Interaction has already been acknowledged." error. I am in a real slump.

Answer 1

try to use the trycatch block (you know, the):

try {
// put your code here
} catch (error) {
console.log(error)
}

im just tryna help, if it doesn't work then sorry...

Answer 2

I've experienced this error multiple times, and I finally found out how to fix this error.

To start off, you need to install a package called nanoid (npm i nanoid in terminal).

At the top of your file, include const { nanoid } = require("nanoid");. This package is used for creating unique IDs for anything you'd like.

now, make a variable, and make it the following:

let id = `button-${nanoid()}`;

Make your .setCustomId() equal .setCustomId(id). Lastly, make your if (interaction.customId == "edit-shelf") equal if (interaction.customId == id).

Note: If you have another error, try changing your nanoid package in your package.json to version ^3.3.4, and uninstall and install it again.
