messageCreate event no longer firing after adding the interactionCreate event - discord

Question

To start: Yes I have intents setup. I have the "message content" intent enabled in the developer portal.
Recently I decided to setup slash commands for my bot. (That is all working fine, not the purpose of this question). Now however, I find that my "messageCreate" event is not firing at all. I've done some basic testing, including removing the "interactionCreate" event, and it still is non-functional. The only fix I've found is completely reverting to the previous version on my source control.
I haven't been able to find any solutions from the discord.js Discord so I decided to come here in the hopes someone can help. Thanks for your time! Client constructor and event code attached below.
Client:
const myIntents = new Intents(
Intents.FLAGS.GUILDS,
Intents.FLAGS.GUILD_MESSAGES,
Intents.FLAGS.DIRECT_MESSAGES,
Intents.FLAGS.GUILD_MESSAGE_REACTIONS,
Intents.FLAGS.DIRECT_MESSAGE_REACTIONS
);
const client = new Client({ intents: myIntents, partials: ["CHANNEL"] });
Events:
client.once('ready', () => {
// Works fine
});
client.on('interactionCreate', async interaction => {
// Works fine
});
client.on('messageCreate', async message => {
console.log('DEBUG') // Never triggers
// Other stuff
});
client.on("error", (e) => console.error(e));
client.on("warn", (e) => console.warn(e));
process.on('unhandledRejection', (e) => console.error(e));
console.log("client") // All events, including messageCreate, are visible in the resulting output
client.login(config.token);

Answer 1

I think you need the "MESSAGE" partial.
You can try and replace
const client = new Client({ intents: myIntents, partials: ["CHANNEL"] });
To
const client = new Client({ intents: myIntents, partials: ["CHANNEL", "MESSAGE"] });
Moreover, I had the same issue but I was very dumb because I didn't realize that my bot didn't have "READ MESSAGES" and "SEND MESSAGES" permissions in that channel, so that might be the issue.
