"Removing comment ID undefined" but the ID is defined

[tubbadu]

to remove a comment I'm using

botActions.removeComment({
	reason: "Requested by user " + userName,
	removed: true,
	comment_id: parentId
});

with parentId defined, but it prints Removing comment ID undefined and does not remove the comment.

What is parentId in this case? I tried to reproduce what it appears you're doing with the following code:

import { CommentView, LemmyBot, PostView } from "lemmy-bot";

const bot = new LemmyBot({
  instance: "localhost:8536",
  credentials: { username: "muhbot", password: "lemmylemmy" },
  handlers: {
    comment: async ({ botActions, commentView }) => {
      if (commentView.comment.content.includes("remove")) {
        const parent = await botActions.getParentOfComment(commentView.comment);

        if (parent.type === "comment") {
          await botActions.removeComment({
            comment_id: (parent.data as CommentView).comment.id,
            reason: `Requested by ${commentView.creator.name}`,
          });
        } else {
          await botActions.removePost({
            post_id: (parent.data as PostView).post.id,
            reason: `Requested by ${commentView.creator.name}`,
          });
        }
      }
    },
  },
});

bot.start();

The bot removed posts and comments as expected. If you could make a minimal reproducible example of your issue, that would be very helpful.

@tubbadu This is from several versions of both this library and lemmy's api ago. Do you still run into the issue?
