Having Trouble with User.AccentColor

[DeLucaJ]

Hey everyone, I made a bot that tracks quotes of guild members. It uses a given user's accent color for an embed. But it is not update when the color is changed, and it doesn't seem to be working for every user. I have the Guild Members intent on this bot. Everything else works for the bot, it's just this color.

Here is the code

func quoteToEmbed(session *discordgo.Session, quote data.Quote) *discordgo.MessageEmbed {
	footer := discordgo.MessageEmbedFooter{
		Text: fmt.Sprintf("Submitted by %s", quote.Submitter.Name),
	}

	speakerInfo, _ := session.User(quote.Speaker.DiscordID)

	thumbnail := discordgo.MessageEmbedThumbnail{
		URL: speakerInfo.AvatarURL(""),
	}

	embed := discordgo.MessageEmbed{
		Type:        discordgo.EmbedTypeRich,
		Color:       speakerInfo.AccentColor,
		Title:       fmt.Sprintf("%s", quote.Speaker.Name),
		Description: fmt.Sprintf("\"%s\"", quote.Content),
		Footer:      &footer,
		Thumbnail:   &thumbnail,
		Timestamp:   quote.CreatedAt.Format(time.RFC3339),
	}
	return &embed
}

try session.GuildMember method instead of session.User

Just tried replacing this with a call to session.GuildMember. There did seem to be a change in color but it broke the functionality regarding the user AvatarURL. Wasn't able to verify whether the color change was active or not though because accessing the Avatar crashed the bot

Have you added a check for the error returned by the session.User/session.GuildMember? If there's a error, speakingInfo would be nil, therefore the crash.
