Ended poll won't have victor answer

[shark-speare]

Summary

I can't get an answer when I end a poll manually

Reproduction Steps

I don't want the poll to last for hours, so I end it earlier
It works well when I end the poll, and it shows the answer in channel
But even if it has a victor answer, the victor_answer is still None
I've tried:

• wait for a while after ending the poll, still not working
• try to wait until poll.is_finalized() but ended up in forever waiting
• try bot.wait_for() and wait until `message.type == discord.MessageType.poll_result)

None of these works

Minimal Reproducible Code

await channel.send(poll=poll) #This is a channel

asyncio.sleep(60)
final_poll = await poll.end()
answer = final_poll.victor_answer
print(answer.text)

Expected Results

It should return a poll with victor_answer instead of victor_answer being None

Actual Results

It returned a poll with not attribute victor_answer, so trying to print the text will go wrong

Intents

discord.Intents.all()

You need to check the Victor answer on the poll_result message, not on the poll object you’ve sent. To access the poll you can wait for the poll_result message and then obtain the reference poll: msg.reference.resolved.poll and from there the Victor_answer

[shark-speare]

But what is victor_answer used for? I have to get the content of message instead of use that? Then what is it made for? poll.end() returns updated poll, but what update would be done after ending if it's not a victor_answer?

[DA-344]

It is a shortcut for iterating through the reference message embed fields and finding the “victor_answer_id” field.

Sorry I couldn't understand, could you give me an example?

[DA-344]

Poll.victor_answer is a shortcut for handling this embed type on the poll_result message. And to get it you need that data which is obtained on the resolved reference message of the message with poll_result type.

So I can only get the embed information in the result message, and can't get the answer from the poll?
