DeferredResponse ignores ActionRow and Empherical

[EthanC]

When attempting to send a DeferredResponse, certain components of the new_message DiscordResponse are ignored. In my experience, both action_row and empherical do not function.

Example:

@interactions.on("example")
async def ExampleCommand(ctx: IncomingDiscordInteraction) -> DeferredResponse:
    """Example command demonstrating DeferredResponse ignoring action_row and empherical."""

    await bot.send_deferred_message(
        original_context=ctx,
        new_message=DiscordResponse(
            content="This part works",
            action_row=ActionRow(
                components=[
                    LinkButton(
                        label="This does not work",
                        url="https://github.com/ms7m/dispike",
                    )
                ]
            ),
            empherical=True
        ),
    )

Same issue with me, but it looks like this a problem on Discord's side. discord/discord-api-docs#2735.. (At least for Empherical).. It might also be the reason why ActionRows don't work..

I'll try to poke around the docs and ask for support if this is the case.

Took a deeper look at it, it seems that if the original message (DeferredResponse) is not empherical, it cannot be changed to empherical later on (as well as action rows). I think I'll work on a method to let the the user know this is the case.

[EthanC]

Would it be possible to work around this API limitation for action_rows in a DeferredResponse, similar to how you've done with DeferredEmphericalResponse? Perhaps something like DeferredComponentResponse?

[ms7m]

That sounds good, i'll add that.

@ms7m The API forces a less than ideal implementation for this, but to cover all bases, maybe a DeferredEmphericalComponentResponse should be implemented as well? It's not an attractive name for the class, but from the looks of discussion in the Discord Developers Server, this is an intended behavior that should be supported.
