[obtuse gyro]

Can someone please sanity check this, for some reason the actionRow gives the error TypeError: Cannot read properties of undefined (reading 'toJSON') and im too tired to see why lol

message.addTextDisplayComponents([
    (textDisplay: Discord.TextDisplayBuilder)=> textDisplay
        .setContent(`## What is the airspeed velocity of an unladen swallow?`)
])
message.addActionRowComponents((actionRow: Discord.ActionRowBuilder) => {
    actionRow.setComponents(
        new Discord.StringSelectMenuBuilder()
            .setCustomId("teams-events-trivia")
            .setPlaceholder("Select an Answer")
            .setOptions([
                new Discord.StringSelectMenuOptionBuilder()
                    .setLabel("An African or European swallow?")
                    .setValue("1"),
                new Discord.StringSelectMenuOptionBuilder()
                    .setLabel("42MPH")
                    .setValue("2"),
                new Discord.StringSelectMenuOptionBuilder()
                    .setLabel("What?")
                    .setValue("3"),
            ])
    )
})

[hallow mesa]

Remove the curlies around actionRow. With them the function that you're passing to .addActionRowComponents() doesn't return anything.

[obtuse gyro]

right of course thank you

4am peak coding hours does have its drawbacks, cheers

npm ls discord.js

[bronze hill]

i dont use djs tho, only @djs/rest

[rose tangle]

then @discordjs/rest

[bronze hill]

@discordjs/rest@2.5.1

[rose tangle]

huh, actually rest should be completely unaffected

can you show the full stacktrace?

at index.js it's just the exec function

[rose tangle]

are you using setToken anywhere?

[bronze hill]

just did a ctrl+f on the github, only one place

[rose tangle]

which is?

[bronze hill]

top of the file, here

[rose tangle]

why let and not const?

[bronze hill]

no particular reason

should I make it const just to be sure or smth

[rose tangle]

yeah, just in case it's not being overwritten somewhere

I'd also make sure that .env variable is actually present before setting it

[bronze hill]

well it's def present, since the bot works for like at least a few hours before that happens

[rose tangle]

maybe it's being overwritten somewhere then

[bronze hill]

or well, sometimes a few hours, sometimes longer, its kinda random. I'll try the const thing just to be certain

I'll ping you some other time if that doesn't end up working if you're fine with that

[rose tangle]

sure, though there's usually always someone here, not just me

[bronze hill]

ah alright then

[jade portal]

Can we get a user id from its username. (@username doesn't work for tagging an user)

[rose tangle]

you can't

how did you get their username and not their id though?

[jade portal]

There's no way?? Suppose a command !kick <username> if I don't have their how will I kick the user??

[rose tangle]

• wouldn't happen with slash commands with a user option
• why would they type their username instead of mentioning them?
• users != members, you can't search a user from its username, but you can search a member by that

[jade portal]

ok yeah I mean member; like the user is in server

[rose tangle]

what about the rest of the points though

[jade portal]

There's other commands where people don't want to ping user but type the username instead.
Like for an economy bot a !rob <username> command. The user would not want to ping!

[rose tangle]

then they'd like a slash command

[jade portal]

Nope!

[rose tangle]

why?

[jade portal]

They feel prefixed commands are more easy to use!

[rose tangle]

I really doubt that, given a slash command would give you full autocomplete

but anyways, it's up to you I guess, it's getting out of topic

[sharp ginkgo]

GuildMemberManager#search() discord.js@14.21.0
Searches for members in the guild based on a query.

[rose tangle]

you can use that to search members

I'd recommend adding some kind of confirmation step though

[jade portal]

Ok thanks!

[rose tangle]

just so the user confirms it's the user they wanted to target

[amber mango]

You could reply with an user selection menu, when users type !rob for example - that's the most user friendly solution i'd say, especially if you dont want to use SlashCommands or ContextMenuCommands (which would be an option for something like rob aswell)

[elfin basin]

is channel.messages.fetch() with a before message id sequetial in fetching?

given a limit i mean so if i give a fetch limit of 100 before this message id, will it be ordered by time sent?

[snow onyx]

it should be, yes

[elfin basin]

got it thanks

[hazy agate]

is there a way to fetch members in a guild by username?

[crimson gale]

https://discord.js.org/docs/packages/discord.js/14.21.0/GuildMemberManager:Class#fetch > query

[dry whale]

interaction.guild doesnt exist anymore?

[crimson gale]

if the interaction was sent in a guild, yes it does
https://discord.js.org/docs/packages/discord.js/14.21.0/BaseInteraction:Class#guild

[dry whale]

this is returning null

its a ApplicationCommandType.ChatInput

it was sent in a guild

and im using "discord.js": "^14.18.0",

[zenith violet]

do you have the Guilds intent

And is the app added with the bot scope

[dry whale]

i just found out it wasnt added with the bot scope, thank you

[upbeat saffron]

how do i access the value of an unselected role in a roleselectmenu?

[steel trail]

By filtering the selected roles from all existing roles.

[upbeat saffron]

copy but it can be the case that a role was not selected by the selectmenu and i would have false data

[steel trail]

No. You get the values that are selected now. If you need to work based on previous state you need to store that state yourself somehow

What's the use case here?

[upbeat saffron]

I thought so. I was hoping there would be a way to access the unselected ones as well.
The use case here is that users can assign and remove roles themselves. However, there are roles that should not be filtered out, because if I go through the user's roles, compare which ones were not selected, and then remove them, roles that they did not select would disappear.

So I thought I would also get the information that was deselected.

And if I do it with my own state, I also have to make sure that it survives a bot restart^^

[steel trail]

But you'd only allow a certain subset of roles to be self-assignable anyway, right? So just filter from that subset

You don't need to know what they deselected for that. Only what they now got selected

.roles.set(...)

[karmic hedge]

If my welcome message is being sent more than once, are there any reasonable explanations besides the bot running multiple instances somewhere or duplicated event listeners?

[upbeat saffron]

Example: User has roles a and b. There are roles c, d, and e that can be selected via the select menu.
Roles a and b should not be changed. User selects roles c and d. Later, he has had enough of role d and wants to remove it. How do I do that?

[stable sun]

Not rly tbh

Oh right, sharding a single-guild bot

That’s alway quite the edge case

[steel trail]

You'd receive an interaction containing role c as selected. So you filter c,d,e over that selection and over their current roles. End up with a,b being roles they have that can't be selected and c being selected and selectable. Join them, End result: [a,b,c]

[steel trail]

How would that cause double messages? Only one shard would do anything at all

[karmic hedge]

This is possibly it, should you not pass shards:"auto"?

[stable sun]

It should only spawn 1 shard if you tell it auto

[upbeat saffron]

The only problem I see here is that I then have to specify which roles are available for selection in the role select menu, right? Currently, I allow all roles.

Thank you, qjuh. I think I need to design the command so that the administrator must first select which roles are selectable, then I can apply the filter as you describe.

[steel trail]

Well, do you want them to be able to select all of them? Or what do you mean by "allow all"?

[upbeat saffron]

the role select menu isnt defined to use a subset u can type in it to find any role

[steel trail]

Yes, that's the UI part. I'm talking about your code handling the selection. What happens if I select the admin role there?

Or DevBot, or ...

[upbeat saffron]

i guess ill get an error because the bot hasnt permission to give higher rank roles - All I want is to remove the role again when a user deselects it xD

[steel trail]

So you literally allow your code to grant any role. That sounds like a big security issue as soon as a guild admin accidentally give the bot a higher role or moves the role higher in hierarchy

[upbeat saffron]

i agree

[steel trail]

So the changes are needed either way, and then your question is answered too 👍

[upbeat saffron]

So that means if I assign default roles to the select menu, then only those are selectable?

[steel trail]

No

A role select menu will always show all roles. The default roles are which are selected per default

[upbeat saffron]

so a string select would better fit?

[steel trail]

If you want the menu to only show and allow a subset of at most 25 roles: yes

[upbeat saffron]

What would be your approach to solving the security problem with a role select?

[karmic hedge]

Either use a string select menu to show options for only certain (fixed) roles in your server or add validation after they select the roles

[steel trail]

Filter the selected roles with an array of allowed roles on interactionCreate

[upbeat saffron]

Okay, then that confirms my assumption. Thank you very much.

[steel trail]

In your previous example it wouldn't matter if I selected role b or not, it won't change

[ivory spoke]

I have GatewayIntentBits.GuildPresences set as an intent both in my program and on the dev portal, but users always show as offline with user.presence.status

[subtle spoke]

Can someone help me with this:?

    const voiceStates = guild.voiceStates.cache;
    const voiceActive = voiceStates.size;
    const selfMuted = voiceStates.filter(vc => vc.selfMute).size;
    const selfDeafened = voiceStates.filter(vc => vc.selfDeaf).size;
    const serverMuted = voiceStates.filter(vc => vc.serverMute).size;
    const serverDeafened = voiceStates.filter(vc => vc.serverDeaf).size;

It works, but after the update, an error appeared and, for example, channel members are incorrect and are not updated.

[zenith violet]

what error

And do you have the GuildVoiceStates intent

[subtle spoke]

none and yes

[karmic hedge]

On discord's documentation the following is stated https://i.imgur.com/ctA1fIy.png
Is this something which is handled by discord.js or in theory could this cause this sort of problem

[zenith violet]

then why did you say an error appeared

[subtle spoke]

Because when I leave the voice channel and after 4/5 minutes the embed is edited, it does not change the number of users on the channel from 1 to 0, the same with muting.

[stable sun]

It’s handled

It’s rarely ever (if ever) an issue w/ Discord nor d.js

[karmic hedge]

Okay thanks 👍

[stable sun]

In my experience, it’s always one of the 3 possibilities that occurs

Whether it’s the host spawning more processes, or some old node.js processes still running on ur machine

[zenith violet]

Show the full code

[stable sun]

Or even initializing ur events twice

You would also easily see if ur event is running twice just by adding a log in the listener

If so, then work ur way up the code

I really don’t know how much debugging you’ve actually done just from the messages you’ve sent here

[sharp ginkgo]

tag suggestion for @subtle spoke:
To share long code snippets, use a service like gist, sourcebin, pastebin, or similar instead of posting them as large code blocks or files.

[subtle spoke]

https://pastebin.com/QRTXnkcD

[zenith violet]

and where is that function called. Also channels do not need fetching if you have the Guilds intent

[subtle spoke]

https://pastebin.com/H29Xiety

[steel trail]

What's user defined as here? Considering presences are on GuildMember and not User

[ivory spoke]

It's a GuildMember, but I actually got this to work just by getting from the cache for that guild instead of direcly doing user.presence

[steel trail]

Sounds like it wasn't a GuildMember before then

[ivory spoke]

Oh, maybe. Does interaction.author not return a GuildMember when a command was executed in a guild?

[snow onyx]

interaction.author doesn't exist
interaction.user returns the user object
interaction.member returns the member object

[ivory spoke]

ah ok, sorry don't have my editor open rn so i just assumed it was .author. I'll switch it out to use .member. Thank you for your help!

[full crystal]

hii, im having problem with guildMemberRemove event
for some reason it doesnt triggers when a member is kicked/ or leaves
but it is working totally fine when emitted manually via client.emit()

i was using makeCache: Options.cacheWithLimits in my client options to limit member's and user's cache but even after removing that, event does not trigger.

It triggers normally when a member joins and leave, but doesnt triggers when a member leaves and was already present in the guild

[polar karma]

If the member isn't cached and you don't have partials enabled, you won't get the event from d.js

[coarse storm]

Can I limit the AttachmentOption of a slash command to only allow certain file types?

[polar karma]

no

[full crystal]

Thanks, I will try enabling partials 🙏

[jade portal]

Like a menu of all the users when someone uses !rob?

[zenith violet]

that is indeed what a user select menu is yes

[wary coral]

When the user is not cached the event emits a partial member. If you don't have the partial enabled, the event does not emit.

Sorry guess I am late sorry

[full crystal]

ty yall :)

[inland sentinel]

im getting a lot of HTTPError: Service Unavailable from my code even tho discord isnt down?

[amber mango]

yeah if you just use a normal UserSelectMenu. You could make a StringSelectMenu aswell, where only some special users are listed (for example you could define a threshold, so only users with a minimum amount of balance can get robbed)

[zenith violet]

thats still errors coming from discord itself

so nothing we really can do about, can be a temporary outage

[jade portal]

Oh wait this idea is actually good!

[amber mango]

Good Ideas are my passion 😂

[jade portal]

Damn!

[rose tangle]

you could make the select menu ephemeral if you were using slash commands

[hallow mesa]

(Or just use the one built into the user option)

[rose tangle]

can't filter users from there though

[hallow mesa]

String option with autocomplete then. Regardless, prefix command into a select menu is clunky

[heady lintel]

Is there a reason why HTTP errors have no code property and instead have the code in status?

[rose tangle]

Error#code is a string, HTTPError#status is a number, which follows the naming after http status codes

[heady lintel]

HTTPError#code is not present on the error at all

[rose tangle]

yeah

[heady lintel]

so i guess i need to check for both

[rose tangle]

why?

[rose tangle]

I meant like, the one that's usually built-in (hence I mentioned Error, not HTTPError), is a string, that's the type node says it should be

and since http status codes are numbers it could be kinda confusing

not to mention "status" is probably better naming, since that's how they're called either way

you can open an issue about it though, maybe you can get a response from an actual maintainer, but that's my opinion

[heady lintel]

because I have a method that decides whether an error is worth retrying or not, and it failed because it only checked for code and not status

it's not worth opening an issue for, i just incorrectly assumed http errors would have code too

[bronze hill]

Alright so update on this, it still gives me the same error expected token to be set for this request but none was present error. I got it after 14 hours (on @djs/rest, latest version, using const on the rest variable)

[tidal ravine]

what's the fastest way of getting an application emoji from the name? right now i was thinking of doing this but i think there's proabbly a better way

client.application.emojis.fetch().then(emojis => emojis.find(emoji => emoji.name === 'name'))

[rose tangle]

can you show all your usages of rest, or are they too many?

[bronze hill]

I can send you a GitHub repo

All the usage is in the commands folder

[rose tangle]

you can fetch() on start and then use the cache

unless you expect your app emojis to change in runtime

[rose tangle]

sure

[bronze hill]

Dms

[tidal ravine]

ah ok so fetch on clientready

ok cool i dunno why i didn't think of that thank you

[rose tangle]

[past gate]

Hi. I have a problem. I have started to use

// to do 
 await interaction.reply({ embeds: [embed], components: [row], ephemeral: true });
}

and I got error:

 requestBody: { files: undefined, json: { type: 5, data: [Object] } },
 rawError: { message: 'Unknown interaction', code: 10062 },
 code: 10062,
 status: 404,
 method: 'POST', ```
pls, help ![dobradDivkaheart](https://cdn.discordapp.com/emojis/1050042267076927558.webp?size=128 "dobradDivkaheart")  What am I doing wrong? Everything works fine locally, but not on the server under heavy load.

[wary coral]

check that you are not replying or deferring to the interaction before the given line
Also how does your client response to the interaction

[past gate]

This is a user-local button (ephemeral)
When the user clicks the button, I reply with ephemeral: true and buttons repeat action
structure:
command -> ephemeral message -> ephemeral message -> ephemeral message

[wary coral]

What I mean what does your Discord client do when you click the button?

[wary coral]

can you show the full error that you get

[past gate]

The client only sees this

On server error:

 rawError: { message: 'Unknown interaction', code: 10062 },
 code: 10062,
  status: 404,
 method: 'POST',```

[wary coral]

and what is the full code for your interaction handling

[sharp ginkgo]

To share long code snippets, use a service like gist, sourcebin, pastebin, or similar instead of posting them as large code blocks or files.

Common causes of DiscordAPIError[10062]: Unknown interaction:

• Initial response took more than 3 seconds ➞ defer the response *.
• Wrong interaction object inside a collector.
• Two processes handling the same command (the first consumes the interaction, so it won't be valid for the other instance)
  * Note: you cannot defer modal or autocomplete value responses

[zenith violet]

likely the first

[past gate]

I don't understand "Two processes handling the same command (the first consumes the interaction, so it won't be valid for the other instance)"
If two users press the 'start' button simultaneously, will one of them not be processed?

[wary coral]

Each time a user click the button it is a new instance. "Two processes" refuser to the bot running twice

The issue affecting your code is likely the first point "Initial response took more than 3 seconds ➞ defer the response"

[past gate]

Hmmm... I check, thanks

[hollow dawn]

Good afternoon. Does anyone know how to create this system? Or any documents that can help me? The button system is linked directly to the item description and when you press the button, the item is automatically purchased. This function is new and unknown to me.

[bitter leaf]

this embed ?

[zenith violet]

No, thats a container

[hallow mesa]

See the message above yours

[viral cave]

Hello! I have a question that's been on my mind: why is it that I removed the bot's permissions (in a channel), but it can still send messages (including the embed from my /ping command)?

[zenith violet]

because interaction webhooks are not bount to send permissions

bots can be in guilds without actually being a member

[viral cave]

ok tyy!

export const data = new SlashCommandBuilder()
  .setName("ping")
  .setDescription("Replies with the latencies")
  .setContexts(0)
  .setDescriptionLocalizations({
    fr: "Répond avec les latences"
  });

export const botPermissions = ["SendMessages", "EmbedLinks"];```

What permission can I check with the ping command then? Any permission that might prevent the command?

[wary coral]

what do you mean?

[viral cave]

I would like to avoid permission issues, sending simple embed and message does not need verification though?

[near siren]

data: new SlashCommandBuilder()
        .setName("cleardata")
        .setDescription("Clear data for a server")
        .setDefaultMemberPermissions(PermissionFlagsBits.ManageGuild)
        .setContexts(InteractionContextType.Guild)
        .addStringOption(option => option.setName('server').setDescription('Select a server').setRequired(true).setAutocomplete(true))```

Type 'SlashCommandOptionsOnlyBuilder' is not assignable to type 'ContextMenuCommandBuilder | SlashCommandBuilder'.
  Type 'SlashCommandOptionsOnlyBuilder' is missing the following properties from type 'SlashCommandBuilder': addSubcommandGroup, addSubcommandts(2322)
typings.d.ts(69, 3): The expected type comes from property 'data' which is declared here on type 'Command'

anyone know how to fix this? addStringOption is the cause

[wary coral]

Interaction replies exist out side of the send permission so I am not sure what permission you are trying to check?

[wary coral]

I belive it is a typing issue in your command registration as ContextMenuCommandBuilder does not have options

[near siren]

this is my typing

export type Command = {
  category: string;
  disabled: boolean;
  execute(client: Client, interaction: ChatInputCommandInteraction | ContextMenuCommandInteraction): any;
  guildOnly?: boolean;
  id?: string;
  usage?: string;
} & ({
  autocomplete?(client: Client, interaction: AutocompleteInteraction): any;
  data: SlashCommandBuilder;
} | {
  data: ContextMenuCommandBuilder;
})```

[wary coral]

Like the error says SlashCommandOptionsOnlyBuilder is not ContextMenuCommandBuilder | SlashCommandBuilder

[near siren]

just fixed it with Omit<SlashCommandBuilder, "addSubcommand" | "addSubcommandGroup"> | SlashCommandSubcommandsOnlyBuilder

[wary coral]

I used the following type for my code SlashCommandBuilder | SlashCommandSubcommandsOnlyBuilder | SlashCommandOptionsOnlyBuilder | Omit<SlashCommandBuilder, 'addSubcommand' | 'addSubcommandGroup'>;

[clear garnet]

Just use SlashCommandSubcommandsOnlyBuilder | SlashCommandOptionsOnlyBuilder

The omit that you're doing serves the same purpose as the OptionsOnlyBuilder

[wary coral]

Got it

[shut musk]

Just wanted to confirm rq, how many sections can a container have?

[hallow mesa]

13. There's a total of 40 components in the message, so one for the container and each section would take up 3

[shut musk]

Where did you find that

[rose tangle]

there's no section limit, he just calculated based on the 40 component limit

[shut musk]

so how big can a container be then?

[hallow mesa]

In what units?

[shut musk]

Ideally I have an embed with some text a button next to it, how much can I scale it?

[rose tangle]

the only limit is the 40 component limit and the 4k character limit

per message

[shut musk]

I suppose my limitation is characters here

40 component limit but what counts as a component sorry?

[rose tangle]

components

[hallow mesa]

Container, section, text displays, accessories, etc. Buttons

[shut musk]

right so under 1 section if I have a text display and accessory then thats 3 already

[rose tangle]

buttons, containers, sections, anything that has a component in the name and goes in the components array

yes

[shut musk]

so i could have 13 sections ideally

[rose tangle]

that's what they meant with each section takes up 3

correct

if you only make each section have one text display

[shut musk]

yeah ideally i want

TEXT - BUTTON so i just have to use single sections

I assume there's no better way to do it?

[rose tangle]

imo it's best to think of "only 40 components" rather than "only 13 sections" since the latter isn't accurate

[shut musk]

i mean yeah because you could have 40 text display components

for my case it just sadly comes to 13, I thought it would've been higher, sadge

[rose tangle]

13 is high enough, it'd be a big message in desktop and gigantic in mobile

[shut musk]

It's mainly the buttons for me but i cannot have more than 1 button per section or I'd have to use the old action rows which isnt pretty

[rose tangle]

then use an action row

[shut musk]

yeah just mentioned xd

[rose tangle]

no other choice then

[shut musk]

Yeah figured

ty guys

[crude vapor]

Can I get container component from an existing message? Just like for editing a button's style, you can do js const newButton = ButtonBuilder.from(oldButton).setStyle(2).setLabel("Closed");I want to do a similar thing like js const newContainer = ContainerBuilder.from(oldContainer).spliceComponents(1, 1, newComponent);Is this possible?

It would just make it so much easier to edit a specific component from an existing container, rather than rebuilding every components of a container that includes the edited component

[clear garnet]

new ContainerBuilder(oldContainer.toJSON())

[crude vapor]

Oh thank you so much!

[blazing ivy]

Heya,
What would be a good point to start in the following situation:
I listen to both guildMemberRemove and guildBanAdd
Both send a message: Member left, and Member got banned
How to check if the removed member has been banned, so only the guildBanAdd message gets sent?

[inland pawn]

does an ephemeral deferred reply need to be acknowledged?

[clear garnet]

You should utilize fetching audit logs in your guildMemberRemove listener rather than the guildBanAdd event

[sharp ginkgo]

guide suggestion for @blazing ivy:
Popular Topics: Working with Audit Logs

[clear garnet]

No, a defer is a form of acknowledgement, but the user will receive an error within Discord if you don't do anything with that defer after 15 minutes (e.g. by editReply()ing or similar)

[blazing ivy]

Thanks for the pointer! Ill check it out

[inland pawn]

will an error be emitted to the client too after 15 minutes of no reply after the initial defer?

[clear garnet]

No

[naive rapids]

is there any info documented about the max limit of text display in a container?

[hallow mesa]

[naive rapids]

Oh okay cool ty

tho i was wondering if that's documented on the official api docs too

[ripe violet]

is there away to check if a orb quest is out using a discord bot?

[unique shoal]

No, no APIs that I know of and they're unlikely given that is purely user based functionality

[glossy sky]

how can i get old Guild Vanity Url and New Guild Vanity Url?

[summer flower]

Do the container need to have thumbnails?

[snow onyx]

listen to the guildUpdate event and check <Guild>.vanityURLCode

[snow onyx]

no

[glossy sky]

old new

[snow onyx]

yes?

[glossy sky]

newGuid
oldGuikd
like this?

[snow onyx]

oldGuild, newGuild

[summer flower]

Ah yeah

Is there possible way to disable mentions in container?

[sharp ginkgo]

tag suggestion for @summer flower:
You can control which entities receive notifications via the allowedMentions option. You can:

• Set a default on the client
• Set for a specific message
• Use the repliedUser key to disable in-line reply mentions

{ ..., allowedMentions: { parse: ["users", "roles"] } }

[summer flower]

thats works for containers as well?

[zenith violet]

yes

[shut musk]

When I try to edit a message by it's reference I get this:

[zenith violet]

Show your code

[shut musk]

Wait I think i know it, isn't there a param for like fetchReply in TextChannel.send?

[zenith violet]

no

send already returns a Message

[shut musk]

then im unsure ok so

[zenith violet]

.

and do you have the Guilds intent

[shut musk]

Yeah I do

Actually i am stupid, I could just edit the message from interaction because i have a button in it. I don't even need that reference 😂

[languid summit]

does disord bot itself needs crate invite perm to create invite or if the evryone have that perm will that work?

[snow onyx]

if everyone has that perm, the bot doesn't need it again

[fallen fjord]

how did they do these lines in the embed?

[zenith violet]

Thats not an embed, thats a separator component in a container

thats dope thank you

[red trellis]

is there a way to react with multiple emojis in 1 api call?

[snow onyx]

no

[hazy agate]

whats the best way to filter errors like this, should i check js err.message === 'Used disallowed intents'
or is there a better way?

also, what kind of errors can appear in the client.login besides, invalid intents and invalid token

[obtuse laurel]

you should probably just allow the intent, other than that, you could do that for disallowed intents but I think you're better off using err.code edit: for other errors, like invalid token

[hazy agate]

there doesnt seem to be any error code on this particular error, for Invalid tokens it exists

[obtuse laurel]

I don't think disallowed intents has a code, so yeah you'll have to check message for that one

[hasty osprey]

how do i reply to someone using an interaction

apparently the type Interaction aint the same as ChatInputCommandInteraction

[zenith violet]

you cant

you can reply to the interaction, but there's no data if that command was ran as a a reply to someone

[hasty osprey]

its just a slash command

[steel trail]

So it is a ChatInputCommandInteraction

[hasty osprey]

i added this in the start and it tells me unable to find .deferReply()
when i run the command

[steel trail]

Show your exact code and error. Not paraphrase it

[hasty osprey]

the callback of the slash and the function that runs the callback of the slash

brb gotta get my dog to the bath

[sharp ginkgo]

The order of function parameters must match between definition and function call.

function execute(client, interaction) { ... };
execute(interaction, client);

• mismatch! you pass an interaction where the client is expected
• mismatch! you pass the client where an interaction is expected

[hasty osprey]

OHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH

tysm

btw does interaction already have the client within it?

[zenith violet]

yes

Virtually all djs structures do

[hasty osprey]

oh so i dont need to send it

[zenith violet]

Not really

unless you have a custom client

[hasty osprey]

oki

only custom thing i have is the commands added to the client's structure so i think im ok

[rose tangle]

the client instance is re-used either way so you can still avoid passing it

you'd just need to type assert it as your custom client

[rose tangle]

as a suggestion to avoid this in the future, given you're using ts, you should make a type for your command functions, and make those functions inside the files match that

so if you make a mistake like that again, ts will catch it

[onyx lagoon]

is it possible to fetch an ApplicationEmoji with their name?

[halcyon bison]

no, but you can fetch all emojis with <Client>.application>.emojis.fetch() and find by name with <Collection>.find()

[onyx lagoon]

okay thanks

[solid summit]

can i know any eta for gradient role support?

[halcyon bison]

we don't do ETAs
prs are merged when ready
new versions are released when ready

[open fox]

hey, im trying to check a member permissions but its returning me a string

[steel trail]

Need to typeguard as inCachedGuild() first

Else it could be a raw API member object

[open fox]

omg i forgot that was a thing in typescript

sorry and ty

[onyx lagoon]

when i try using client.ws.ping i get the result of -1 as my latency why is that?

[zenith violet]

The first heartbeat hasnt been sent yet

Takes around 41~s

[onyx lagoon]

oh thanks

[kindred moon]

if i deferReply, how long do i have to respond to the interaction?

[bleak owl]

15 minutes after the deferReply is sent

you still need to respond with a deferReply within 3 seconds though for it to be acknowledged

[kindred moon]

alright thanks

[dapper oyster]

is there any module that generates usage text from ApplicationCommandJSON data?

[bleak owl]

usage text?

[glossy field]

is there any way to make a command see how mush members used my server tag?

[dapper oyster]

like
/command {requiredString} <optionalUser>

[bleak owl]

i don’t really understand what you mean

d.js doesn’t output data like that for you. you’ll need to manually get that

[deft nimbus]

you want to generate example usage of a command using the command data? you'd have to do that yourself

[dapper oyster]

yeah 😦

[kindred moon]

is there a helper function for putting backticks around content such as the bold function?

[sharp ginkgo]

documentation suggestion for @kindred moon:
inlineCode discord.js@14.21.0
Wraps the content inside backticks, which formats it as inline code.

[kindred moon]

thank you

[mighty wyvern]

how to fetch slash options

[bleak owl]

interaction.options…

[sharp ginkgo]

CommandInteractionOptionResolver discord.js@14.21.0
A resolver for command interaction options.

[bleak owl]

not that i know of, no

[zealous knot]

Hey. Which is the recommended event for checking role updates? I assume it's GuildMemberUpdate though I'd still like confirmation.

[rose tangle]

assuming you mean whether a role was added/removed from a member, yeah it's the only event actually

[zealous knot]

Alright, thank you!

[grizzled bison]

Is it still a long time before discord.js updates its version again?

[zealous knot]

What do you want from djs v15 though?

[rose tangle]

there's no eta, though I personally wouldn't say it'll take much

[rose tangle]

I assume they mean next v14

[zealous knot]

Discord.ts when tho

[rose tangle]

if they meant v15 then yeah, no eta at all

and no priority in particular either

[zealous knot]

Oh, my bad. I thought they meant v15.

[rose tangle]

djs already has full typings which is what mostly matters

[zealous knot]

True. Though it'd be nice to see the main lib join it's "siblings" in the language they use.

[grizzled bison]

Hmm, I don't know what updates there will be in the latest version. What is certain is that I just want to try the previous versions, I have almost tried them all.

[rose tangle]

why would you try previous versions?

[zealous knot]

Wait, Amgelo, the roles in member update can be more than 1 right?

[grizzled bison]

previous version here I mean 14.21.0

[rose tangle]

that's current version

[rose tangle]

one event per role change

[grizzled bison]

lmao

[rose tangle]

and not necessarily a role change though, update also triggers for other stuff

so you'll also need to check if the roles changed

[zealous knot]

Yeah I know. I'm already using it to check nicknames and timeouts.

[grizzled bison]

Will the author and footer appear again in the next update?

[bleak owl]

what do you mean appear?

those never went away

[grizzled bison]

Isn't it true that the current version can't use author and footer? emm how do i say it?

[bleak owl]

components v2?

[grizzled bison]

yess

[bleak owl]

embeds still exist and are not components

[rose tangle]

it's not for djs to decide what discord supports, and containers do not support author and footer

only embeds

[lean sail]

this isnt specifically a discord js question but im using zod to check my env and was wondering if the bot tokenn and cllient id always have fixed lengths

[rose tangle]

bot token I wouldn't rely on it, client id is a snowflake so it has a minimum length at the very least

[lean sail]

and that would be 17 iirc?

[rose tangle]

I don't think it's worth validating that though

[lean sail]

ah alright. do you think i shouldnt validate at all beyond string?

[rose tangle]

env values are already strings, you should just validate that they're present

[lean sail]

ok

[shut musk]

So I saved a reference of a interaction message in a object to use it across another file to edit and while doing so I get TypeError: Cannot read properties of undefined (reading 'channels')

const msg = value.msgReference // valid because i have it logged
const ref = await msg.edit({ content: 'hii' })

[zenith violet]

Show the code and error

[shut musk]

thats the log of msg ^ (and more, just doesn't fit in ss)

How would I go about editing this message 🤔
Would have to fetch the guild, channel and then message is the other workaround but I thought saving this reference would help me out

[rose tangle]

what about the error?

like, the full stacktrace

not just the message

[shut musk]

yeah sorry I was just getting the stack trace, forgot about that 😭

[rose tangle]

from where does the message come from?

[shut musk]

const reference = await dedicatedVoteKickChannel.send({ content: mentions.join(' '), embeds: [voteKickEmbed], components: [row] })
    return client.activeVoteKicks.set(voteKickGuildMember.user.id, { msgReference: reference }, votingTime)
``` Here

client.activeVoteKicks is a node-cache

[rose tangle]

it sounds like the channel isn't cached

do you have the Guilds intent?

[shut musk]

Yeah but if its not cached then how was the message sent there

[rose tangle]

wdym?

[shut musk]

its something to do with putting the reference inside the object

[shut musk]

yeah i do

[rose tangle]

how is dedicatedVoteKickChannel defined?

[shut musk]

    const dedicatedVoteKickChannel = interaction.guild.channels.cache.get(currentServerConfig.vote_kick_channel);

[shut musk]

    reference.edit({ content: 'yoyoyo'})
```Having this below this code works (its in the same file)

but the second I use msgReference from the object, it doesn't work lol
I guess the object does something to the variable

[rose tangle]

ah, nvm, it looks like this.client is somehow undefined in the Message

[zenith violet]

might be node-cache doing something to lose the this binding

[shut musk]

potentially.

[rose tangle]

tried reading their code but it's written in .coffee

you could change the library or save just the channel and message ids, then you can get the channel from cache, and call #edit()

[shut musk]

to manually get the message, i would need to get the guild, the channel and then the msg right?

[sharp ginkgo]

MessageManager#edit() discord.js@14.21.0
Edits a message, even if it's not cached.

[rose tangle]

you don't need the message

[shut musk]

huh

[rose tangle]

and since channel ids are unique you don't need the guild either

[sharp ginkgo]

Client#channels discord.js@14.21.0
All of the BaseChannels that the client is currently handling - as long as sharding isn't being used, this will be *every * channel in *every * guild the bot is a member of. Note that DM channels will not be initially cached, and thus not be present in the Manager without their explicit fetching or use.

[shut musk]

Can I fetch a message direct by ID or need to find the channel first

[rose tangle]

you need the channel, but unless you need the message's contents, you don't need to fetch it

[shut musk]

no i dont, i just want to edit that message

[rose tangle]

^^

[mental idol]

Can I get the message author via targetMessage?

[wintry laurel]

what does the error HTTPError: Service Unavailable mean and why am i getting it? never seen it before

temporary discord outage ig?

[zenith violet]

It is an issue on discord's end yeah

[mental idol]

What is the difference between targetUser and targetMember because I did not understand doce

[sharp ginkgo]

Despite sounding similar there is a distinct difference between users and members in Discord:

• User: global Discord user data (global avatar, username, tag, id)
• GuildMember: user data associated to a guild (guild, nickname, roles, voice, guild avatar, etc.)
• Conversion: User ➞ GuildMember | GuildMember ➞ User
  * Note: Events received in cached guilds will often have both the member and user available, eg. interaction.user and interaction.member

[hasty osprey]

anyone knows the reason of this error?

i dont know where in the code im inputting undefined instead of a string.. at least its what i understood

[trim basin]

Show us your deploy-cmds file please

[stable sun]

One of ur commands is missing a description

[trim basin]

Ah yes didn't see the validateDescription

[hasty osprey]

do options require it too

[zenith violet]

Yes

[hasty osprey]

should i always use interaction.options.getString() //or any other over interaction.options.get()?.value ?

[halcyon bison]

generally you'll want to use getString and similar methods since they also have type safety and resolve ids to structures when applicable (e.g. getUser returns a User instead of just an id)
but there are cases where you may want to use get directly (e.g. in autocomplete interactions where you want to access a different option's value where the whole structure isn't sent with the interaction)

[orchid radish]

hi is it possible for a bot to sync a channels permissions to its parent category?

[sharp ginkgo]

documentation suggestion for @orchid radish:
GuildChannel#lockPermissions() discord.js@14.21.0
Locks in the permission overwrites from the parent channel.

[halcyon bison]

(yes)

[orchid radish]

thank mr or ms duck

[hasty osprey]

how do i turn the user i got in getUser into a guild member?

[halcyon bison]

you can use getMember instead (or if you really want you could use <Interaction>.guild.members.fetch(), but the member would be sent with the interaction)

[hasty osprey]

oh oki

addUserOption is for both user and member right?

[halcyon bison]

yes, there isn't a separate member option type

[hasty osprey]

oke

turns out i think i need both

[hasty osprey]

hey how come member.roles for the first option has nothing but valueOf?
sorry for pinging you

[halcyon bison]

probably didn't typeguard the interaction with <Interaction>.inCachedGuild() so member is GuildMember | APIInteractionGuildMember

[hasty osprey]

how do i check if my bot can dm a user
just so i avoid an error

[hallow mesa]

No way to check if they have DMs open except to try and catch the error

[hasty osprey]

is it okay if i trycatch inside a trycatch

[hallow mesa]

Sure?

[wintry laurel]

what am i doing wrong here? im trying to get the first user mentioned in a message. const user = message.content.mentions.parsedUsers.first(). looking at the docs parsedUsers is the only thing that was a collection of users based on which appeared first

oh, i included content in there. no wonder.

[stable sun]

Pretty sure you would have to parse the content if you want to make sure it’s actually the first one if there are multiple

[shut musk]

To fetch a message, i would need the channel first right?

[loud quartz]

Yes

Along with permissions to view its contents

[merry cedar]

What’s the rate limit for bots sending DMs to users?

[sharp ginkgo]

Ratelimits are dynamically assigned by the API based on current load and may change at any point.

• The scale from okay to API-spam is sliding and depends heavily on the action you are taking
• Rainbow roles, clock and counter channels, and DM'ing advertisements to all members are all examples of things that are not okay

Mass DMing users is not allowed as per developer ToS, considered spam and can get you and your bot banned.

• Mention @everyone to inform all your users at once instead
• Discord Developer Terms of Service: learn more

[shut musk]

How would I get the permissions for a user in a channel

[sharp ginkgo]

TextChannel#permissionsFor() discord.js@14.21.0
Gets the overall set of permissions for a member or role in this channel, taking into account channel overwrites.

[zenith violet]

Also, users dont have permissions, members do

[plush veldt]

Hello! Is there any way to show a slash command to the members that have a specified role?

[steel trail]

Yes, as guild admin you can set the command permissions in server settings > integrations > your bot

[plush veldt]

No I mean directly in the bot's source

[zenith violet]

No

You would need an oauth2 token of a guild admin for that

[steel trail]

That's not your responsibility as bot dev. The server admins are responsible for permissions of roles. You as bot dev are responsible for permissions (like ban members permission, manage guild permission, ...) needed to run your commands, not specific roles (as they vary from guild to guild anyway)

[plush veldt]

Thank you!

[shut musk]

Could I check if a channel has any overwrites for a member specifically?

guildMember.voice.channel.permissionsFor(userID).toArray()
```shows me the member's permissions but those are inherited from the everyone role. I want to see if they have anything for that member specifically

Why? Ideally when resetting their perms. I want to see if I should set that permission to null or delete the member permissions entirely 

Why? If they have any other permission i want to make sure to keep that and just reset what I need however if they dont, i want to delete it because then the user stays in the permissions tab of the channel and I believe there is a limit to how many member can have permissions overwrites in a channel (correct me if im wrong)

[stable sun]

It takes into account all overwrites of the member

[shut musk]

Yeah but can I not show specifically from the member?

[stable sun]

Just get the overwrite from the cache then

[shut musk]

wdym

[stable sun]

channel.permisssionOverwrites.cache.get(id);

You might still have to take other overwrites into account if the permission ur checking is inherited/neutral

[shut musk]

Uncaught exception error: TypeError: Cannot read properties of undefined (reading 'cache')

I realized you have a typo there lol

ty for ur help, i was after that specifically

[sudden estuary]

random question but is it possible for a bot to crash simply due to too many people clicking a button, and the bot handling all those interactions extremely quickly?

[shut musk]

unlikely, it would just slow down

[languid summit]

Can bot fetch existing invite from a guild?

[sharp ginkgo]

documentation suggestion for @languid summit:
Guild#invites discord.js@14.21.0
A manager of the invites of this guild

[shut musk]

Having a weird one trying to set permissions. Deny works but allow doesn't

    await voiceChannel.permissionOverwrites.set(newPerms);

It's a voice channel though I don't think that matters much does it?

I found the fix. It seems like deny needs to always be first then allow

[delicate flare]

i'm getting this error here:

error: Invalid Form Body
data.components[0].components[0].options[BASE_TYPE_MIN_LENGTH]: Must be 25 or more in length.

the first component i'm sending is of type ActionRowBuilder<StringSelectMenuBuilder> that i dynamically create from a function

const { excludeNFT = true, includeAmount = false, maxOptions = 25 } = options; // NFT = Not For Trading
    const menu = new StringSelectMenuBuilder()
        .setCustomId("card.selector")
        .setPlaceholder("Select cards...")
        .setMinValues(1)
        .setMaxValues(maxOptions);

and for adding options i use StringSelectMenuBuilder#addOptions(...) like this:

for (const {card, amount} of userCards) {
        const option = new StringSelectMenuOptionBuilder()
            .setLabel(`${card.name} (${card.cardID})${includeAmount ? ` ×${amount}` : ''}`)
            .setDescription(`${card.rarity} • ${card.group}`)
            .setValue(card.cardID);
        
        menu.addOptions(option);
    }

i can't see anything that would need 25+ options, and i don't think i'm even close to 25 cards, any ideas?

[zenith violet]

you are setting the max amount of options to 25 or higher

Therefore discord expects you to have 25 or more options (which isnt possible)

[delicate flare]

i see, i expected it to adapt, my bad 😅

[bleak owl]

all guilds are cached with the Guilds intent, but yes, it checks cache first

cached guilds doesn’t take up nearly as much memory as you think

you can customize the cache if you’d like, but i do not suggest disabling that intent

[sharp ginkgo]

Miscellaneous: Cache customization
Customization of caching behavior is an advanced topic. It is very easy to introduce errors if your custom cache is not working as expected.
read more

[zenith violet]

You should look into using /core then

The Guilds intent is required for djs to function properly

If memory is an issue, you should use /core

[bleak owl]

those are your options.

[zenith violet]

then you'd use /core

djs isnt meant to be a lightweight wrapper

disabling the Guilds intent will cause issues; you're on your own then

[sharp ginkgo]

that did the job. appreciate the help

[fathom sand]

I'm adding discordjs into a nextjs project, my package manager is pnpm.
I don't have this issue with my other project, but I get a zlib-sync module not found and I was wondering if we need to manually install dependencies^

should I simplyt add it manually or there might be another underlying problem?

[zenith violet]

djs is not meant to run in a web environment

you should look into using /rest

[fathom sand]

Does /rest allow to get user that are in voice channel? If so, it solve half of my problem.

The other part is that I want the list of active voice user to be updated when someone connects or disconnect. For this part I think I need a bot that would trigger something on my main backend via rest or something else.

[lean sail]

is there a better way to do this?

basically the goal is to take in an embed, truncate all the values that contribute to character length, and then also return a custom embed if that is still too long but im not sure if this is the most efficient way to do this

[sharp ginkgo]

embedLength discord.js@14.21.0
Calculates the length of the embed.

[rose tangle]

its definition is actually the exact same thing you currently have (in that red line)

[lean sail]

so i can essentially just replace the red line with that?

[rose tangle]

but could help to make it shorter

yeah

[lean sail]

lol alright thank u

[rancid elbow]

the channelSelect component was updated with interaction.update()

it keeps the last selected value in there, the correct select menu is "underneath"... i am confusion. I can "x" the old selection, but I feel like that should have happened when the component was replaced with .update()

[rose tangle]

you must've sent the select menu with that option selected (check for .default = true in its options)

or you didn't send a components array, so the previous state is kept

[rancid elbow]

let me recheck, ty already

hmm no, I even hardcoded it to the new component, it still keeps the old value after updating

[fathom sand]

Is there a comprehensive list of Route that can be used with discordjs/rest? I'm searching trought the doc and can't figure

[rose tangle]

can you try using #setDefaultChannels() and passing an empty array?

[rancid elbow]

sure.

[sharp ginkgo]

ChannelSelectMenuBuilder#setDefaultChannels() builders@1.11.2
Sets default channels for this auto populated select menu.

documentation suggestion for @fathom sand:
v10: RoutesDeclarations
read more

[rancid elbow]

that sadly didn't have an effect.
I have to click into the select menu, otherwise the old value is still shown OO
interestingly, clicking on another channel and back into the channel refreshes the UI
makes me think its a discord "bug"?
the picture shows the old value still showing

[rose tangle]

I think clicking that "going to another channel and back" is a feature, or well, it has worked like that for a while

[kindred moon]

is there a way to get the role and channel overrides that a server administrator has set for a command?

[rose tangle]

but from my understanding it should've cleared with what you had at the beginning, though I have only done that with string selects, maybe it's different with channels?

you can send it on #986520997006032896 so it doesn't get lost, maybe someone else can give more info

[rancid elbow]

that sounds like a reasonable theory. I just think for some reason discord doesnt clear the value for these selects, but going into another channel and back forces that refresh

[sharp ginkgo]

documentation suggestion for @kindred moon:
ApplicationCommandPermissionsManager#fetch() discord.js@14.21.0

[true lynx]

how do i properly slice my embeds?

[rose tangle]

its an array, you can directly call slice on it

[sharp ginkgo]

Array.prototype.slice()
The slice() method of Array instances returns a shallow copy of a portion of an array into a new array object selected from start to end (end not included) where start and end represent the index of items in that array. The original array will not be modified.

any clues?

[orchid radish]

how long after i deploy a context menu command will it take to be visible within discord? im sure i did it right but i cannot find it on my server

[wary coral]

It shouldn't take no more than a minute. If you don't see it, you can try restarting your client using Ctrl + R. If it doesn't show up after that, it likely is not pushing correctly

[orchid radish]

Is it any different than pushing slash commands? I defined a type in my data I’m unsure if there’s any other differences though

[wary coral]

As long as you follow the guide you should be fine. I don't believe the registration process is any different
https://discordjs.guide/interactions/context-menus.html#registering-context-menu-commands

[chilly spruce]

what's the maximum limit of number of messages returned when fetched from a channel?

[novel mauve]

100 per request

[zenith violet]

but 50 if no limit specified

[grim reef]

how do I use withResponse instead of fetchReply?

[sharp ginkgo]

The fetchReply option when replying to an interaction will be removed in v15.

- {..., fetchReply: true}
+ {..., withResponse: true}

```This returns an [InteractionCallbackResponse](https://discord.js.org/docs/packages/discord.js/14.17.3/InteractionCallbackResponse:Class)
Use `<InteractionCallbackResponse>.resource.message` to get the message

[grave pond]

I want to increase my bot shard count to 2 but it is not working and there is no guide for that
Only for auto guide is given

const { ShardingManager } = require('discord.js');
const { token } = require('./config.json');

const manager = new ShardingManager('./index.js', {
  token,
  totalShards: 'auto',
});

manager.on('shardCreate', shard => {
  console.log(`🚀 Launched shard ${shard.id}`);

  shard.on('death', process => {
    console.warn(`💀 Shard ${shard.id} died (code: ${process.exitCode})`);
  });

  shard.on('exit', (code) => {
    console.log(`🚪 Shard ${shard.id} exited (code: ${code})`);
  });
});

manager.spawn();

const client = new Client({ intents, shards: 'auto' });

[stable sun]

Then change it to spawn 2 shards

#1398591142936973434 lets talk there

[viral cave]

hello! how we can reset a stringselectmenu option after interaction without a interaction.editReply or interaction.update ?

[zenith violet]

refresh your discord client

thats the only other way

[viral cave]

but we can't reset the stringselectmenuoption?

[zenith violet]

Edit the message with the same components

Which you dont want to do

[viral cave]

we can't use interaction.deferUpdate() ?

[zenith violet]

no

you have to edit it with the same components

[viral cave]

i'm using interaction.message.edit that good ?

[zenith violet]

if its not ephemeral, and ran in a channel the bot has access to, yes

[icy surge]

Hello does this image link keep on expiring due to the empheral-attachment being in the link

[harsh elbow]

did server tags finally get documented/added to discord js?

[snow onyx]

no

the pr for it was merged, but its not yet released

[zenith violet]

yes, all attachments expire

[icy surge]

no but like this one specifically is expiring in a couple of hours instead of being permant because it is ephermal

[novel mauve]

that's for attachments uploaded through slash command options

you need to save it somewhere if you need it longer

[icy surge]

oh alright thanks

[thorn gate]

can i edit bot bio?

using cmds

[sharp ginkgo]

documentation suggestion for @thorn gate:
ClientApplication#edit() discord.js@14.21.0
Edits this application.

[snow onyx]

client.application.edit() and then you can pass a new description

[lean sail]

why would this be happening?

[kindred moon]

is there a format function that both bolds and italicizes the string its passed? similar to the bold function yet 3 *** on either side

[chilly spruce]

/edit <module> <value>
Considering that value is an autocompleting option, is it possible for the autocomplete interaction to see what module has been choosen? (module is string option)

[chilly spruce]

https://discordjs.guide/popular-topics/formatters.html#formatters

[sharp ginkgo]

documentation suggestion for @kindred moon:
italic discord.js@14.21.0
Formats the content into italic text.

[kindred moon]

i know that is a function but i wasnt sure on if there was a function that did both

i guess ill just combine them

[red coral]

Is there a way to get the command ids from others bots commands?

[full crystal]

nop, there is no way to do that
you can only get your own bots cmd ids

[lunar lantern]

        if(member.user.bot) return;
        client.users.send(member.id,"Hello")
        console.log("success").catch(error => {
            console.log(error);
        });
    });```
I'm just wondering if anyone knows why this isn't working? It doesn't give me an error but it doesn't send the message to the user either.

It did give me an error earlier but that was because I forgot to prohibit it from sending a message to itself or any other bots

[sharp ginkgo]

tag suggestion for @lunar lantern:
Mass DMing users is not allowed as per developer ToS, considered spam and can get you and your bot banned.

• Mention @everyone to inform all your users at once instead
• Discord Developer Terms of Service: learn more

[lunar lantern]

Oh ok thanks for the info

[rose tangle]

I'm pretty sure your cache is just empty

or just filled with your own bot

because console.log() returns void, you can't call .catch() on it

if that line ever ran, it'd throw an error

[daring coral]

No, but what are you trying to do?

[daring coral]

Just use both one another another or make your own function

[chilly spruce]

Hello, if i sweep all emojis and stickers from cache, and call guild.fetch, stickerCreate, and emojiCreate events will be fired with existing emojis and stickers, is there a way to prevent any of this?

[zenith violet]

yea, interaction.options.get('name').value

[chilly spruce]

Alr ty

[zenith violet]

Not as far as i know, no

[acoustic night]

can we build this type of buttons and gradient buttons?

[zenith violet]

No

[toxic moat]

Can I get user’s about me

[rose tangle]

nope

[lean sail]

can i set the specific roles and channels that can be assigned with a command integration by server admins?

like if i have a /modrole command that sets the role to be able to access all the moderation related commands through integrations

[rose tangle]

only with an admin's oauth token

which is out of scope for djs

[lean sail]

so it would be a raw api post? no way to do it with discord.js?

[rose tangle]

no, oauth is an entirely different workflow than what a bot does

[daring coral]

Not sure what the point is, just let the user use the Discord UI exactly for this

[lean sail]

its just a question? anyways thanks for the info

[rose tangle]

you need to setup a web server where the user authenticates and gives access to you

then you receive their token and you can use it to make the request

[lean sail]

ah alright

[dapper flower]

Guys i was using RoleSelectMenuBuilder to create an Select Menu of Roles but the Select Menu is only showing the Roles that i used to separete my roles (don't mind the text bc i am from brazil)

[zenith violet]

You can type to search

[dapper flower]

Got it, thx

[pliant forge]

how can i set localization names for choices or can i

[uncut quest]

yes you can

in JSON it would be something like

choices: [
    { name: "...", name_localizations: { fr: "...", ja: "..." }, value: "..." },
    { name: "...", name_localizations: { fr: "...", ja: "..." }, value: "..." }
    ],```

but you can also in the slashCommandBuilder with a addStringOption , you put your choices there and the choice has name localization available in it

[pliant forge]

.addChoices(
                    {
                        name: 'taş', value: 'taş', setNameLocalizations: {
                            'en-US': 'rock',
                            'tr': 'Taş'
                        }
                    },
                    {
                        name: 'kağıt', value: 'kağıt', setNameLocalizations: {
                            'en-US': 'paper',
                            'tr': 'kağıt'

                        }
                    },
                    {
                        name: 'makas', value: 'makas', setNameLocalizations: {
                            'en-US': 'scissors',
                            'tr': 'makas'
                        }
                    }
                )```

i tried like this but didn't get a chance to try yet

[zenith violet]

please dont just guess

You were even given an example

You call setNameLocalizations on the builder if using builders, or use the proper name_localizations key

Not both combined

not in a slash command though

[true lynx]

...thats what i want, i've already had to mark all my options as string options due to special syntax i wanted, and this way its less supported on the side of the user

its not possible

You will need to use a select menu

[true lynx]

hmmmm, still possible a lil, i mean i can just ask for the values split by commas

[zenith violet]

        });
        server.members.cache.get(memberid).roles.add(assignedRole.id);```

gives me ``Cannot read properties of undefined (reading 'roles')``
Does anyone understand what's wrong here?

[weary swallow]

Where is server defined? (Would also encourage usage of let/const instead of var)

[kindred moon]

^ and is server defined as just Guild or also null

[lunar lantern]

Earlier on in the code

[weary swallow]

It would be useful if you would show how it is defined

[lunar lantern]

It works fine though since I used it for other functions with no problems

var assignedRole = server.roles.create({
            name: "cool role",
            permissions: [PermissionsBitField.Flags.SendMessages, PermissionsBitField.Flags.KickMembers],
            //parent: cat[0].ID,
        });
        server.members.cache.get(memberid).roles.add(assignedRole.id);```
Like this

There is a lot more code in there but don't wanna clog up the message with too much irrelevant stuff since it all works fine. But they are different functions and this is outside of those blocks of code

[kindred moon]

its possible that the guild isnt in the cache

you have the guilds intent correct? try fetching the guild instead

[zenith violet]

Its always cached by the Guilds intent

the id is incorrect

or the bot isnt in the server (or without the bot scope)

Also

That error likely comes from your rokes.add call

Not all members are cached

You need to fetch the member

[kindred moon]

unless you use GuildMembers as an intent

[zenith violet]

No

That wont cache all members

[lunar lantern]

Changed it to c.guilds.fetch(serverid).members.fetch(memberid).roles.add(assignedRole.id);
and got Cannot read properties of undefined (reading 'fetch')

[zenith violet]

You still need to fetch the member regardless of the intent

No

Get the guild from cache

Like you did before

Then fetch the mem er

That returns a promise

So you'll have to resolve it before adding the role

[lunar lantern]

Oh right. I tried that earlier and got a similar error but I'll try again

[zenith violet]

Because you didnt resolve the promise

[lean sail]

is the first line enough to make sure that the member provided is actually a member? or do i have to also fetch and return that it isnt if its null

[zenith violet]

how is options defined

[lean sail]

GuildMember

[zenith violet]

i doubt that

But using getMember, if you use it inside one of your custom classes, will return null if the member isnt in the server

[lean sail]

but from what code ive written, it should still get catched right? it just wont say that the provided person isnt in the guild

and if i did want to return specifically that, id need to fetch and check for nullish? or is there a better way

[tepid plover]

Does the ComponentBuilder/EmbedBuilder supports Components V2 already or we have to still send it using JSON?

[zenith violet]

djs supports it

[tepid plover]

Any docs for that?

[zenith violet]

yes. And no clue what you mean by the second, and no clue what your code does

[sharp ginkgo]

documentation suggestion for @tepid plover:
ContainerBuilder discord.js@14.21.0
A builder that creates API-compatible JSON data for a container.

[tepid plover]

Thanks

[lean sail]

im asking if i wanted to explicitly tell the user the fact that they provided someone who isnt in the guild, id fetch the "options.member"'s id from the guild and see if it exists or not and is that the best way

[zenith violet]

I have no clue how options.member is defined

So i have 0 clue how you determine that

[lean sail]

its defined as GuildMember

[zenith violet]

But users can pass in a non guildmember

As i mentioned, using getMember on the interaction.options will return null if the member isnt in the server

You need to adapt that logic to your custom handler

[lean sail]

as in GuildMember | null right?

[zenith violet]

yes

Assuming you use what i mentioned under the hood

[lean sail]

i do, thanks

[lunar lantern]

I got past that members bit but now I have anothe error
server.members.fetch(memberid).then(member => member.roles.add(server.roles.cache.get(assignedRole.id)));
TypeError [InvalidType]: Supplied roles is not a Role, Snowflake or Array or Collection of Roles or Snowflakes. at GuildMemberRoleManager.add
Not sure if I did the promise wrong or something else

[zenith violet]

you can just pass in the id directly first of all, and make sure the id is correct

In the code you showed above, you did not resolve the promise of the create call

and you can add the role directly then

[tulip sphinx]

why would my bot randomly stop responding after i leave it running for awhile
only a restart fixes it no errors are visible

[zenith violet]

whats your djs version

[tulip sphinx]

14.18.0

[sharp ginkgo]

Please add the following code to your code base outside of any other event listeners and provide the full log output relevant to your issue.

client
    .on("debug", console.log)
    .on("warn", console.log)

• Note: if you initialize your Client as bot or other identifiers you need to use these instead of client
• If the output is too long to post consider using a bin instead: gist | sourceb.in | hastebin

[bleak owl]

i also suggest updating

[tulip sphinx]

K I will add more logging to see if it catches it

[lunar lantern]

Yeah I just did that and got it working. Thanks for the help, much obliged.

This keeps giving me the error: --Channel not found or not text‑based-- even when the channel is text based and ive tripled checked the ID?

[zenith violet]

first of all, you dont need to fetch channels at all with the Guilds intent, second, log channel

[tulip sphinx]

How do you fix this line the types changed

const found = interaction.message.components.find((row) => 
    row.components.some((component) => component.customId === "repost")
)

Property 'components' does not exist on type 'TopLevelComponent'.
Property 'components' does not exist on type 'FileComponent'.

[shut terrace]

I dont do node im used to deno I have no idea bro

Thats why I came here Im lost

[zenith violet]

did you write that code

[shut terrace]

With lots of research

[zenith violet]

i dont see how the platform you use is relevant to what I said

[shut terrace]

In deno we have different and built in request types. Like we dont need to use fetch. Also im very new to discord.js which is in node

I js want help

[zenith violet]

that has nothing to do with your code

You can just get the channel from cache

But log it

[tulip sphinx]

Does your bot have permission to view that channel

[shut terrace]

yes

[zenith violet]

that doesnt matter

It will still be cached

[shut terrace]

has Administrator

[shut terrace]

chached...?

[zenith violet]

cached yes

[shut terrace]

im lost. chat

[zenith violet]

Also you should move that code into your ready event and it'll work

You should look into djs docs and guides then

[shut terrace]

I have been Im lost im telling you

[zenith violet]

caches are a core part of djs

[tulip sphinx]

Maybe you are fetching the channel before the bot has logged in (ready event). There is a race condition there

[zenith violet]

^

[shut terrace]

wheres a ready event

[zenith violet]

...in your code

[shut terrace]

chat

[zenith violet]

or well, ClientReady in the enum

[shut terrace]

i have 7 tabs open of searches and sites to send one message

[zenith violet]

If you wrote that code yoy should know what events you listen to

[bleak owl]

it’s really not that difficult

<Client>.channels.cache.get('id').send(…)

[shut terrace]

im using it from DJS

[clear garnet]

Ensure there's a components property in row, because with CV2, that "row" may not actually be a row, but a FileComponent or something else that doesn't have a components property

[shut terrace]

it says you create a client then login like page 1

[zenith violet]

Dont just blindly copy paste

you should know what the code does

And what we mean by ready event, or any event in general

[shut terrace]

I do, I dont get how to expand on it past loggin in

[zenith violet]

you follow the rest of the guide

[blazing ivy]

Heya, i'm currently ugprading from djs13, and am stuck on editing an embed here.

In djs13 I do the following:

const embed = msg.embeds[0].setDescription('new desc').setFooter(`new footer`);
msg.edit({ embeds: [embed] });

I know about the new .setFooter() syntax, but none of the set methods exist anymore, what is the new way to edit embeds?

[sharp ginkgo]

Structures from the API cannot be edited directly. To do so, you can create a new structure (a builder) using the .from() method

const newEmbed = EmbedBuilder.from(embed).setTitle("title")
const newRow = ActionRowBuilder.from(row).addComponents(component)

[blazing ivy]

Oh, i see... not sure how I missed that
Thank you!

[polar karma]

Is it possible it's a command you deployed in a guild scope opposed to global

Also, setting to an empty array and then setting again is a wasted API request

[viral cave]

how can i delete the cmd and stop that fcking prblm ?

[sharp ginkgo]

If you have duplicate commands on your server, you registered both global and guild commands.

You can remove the duplicates by resetting either the global or guild commands

• Resetting global commands: rest.put(Routes.applicationCommands(clientId), { body: [] })
• Resetting guild commands: rest.put(Routes.applicationGuildCommands(clientId, guildId), { body: [] })

[tiny condor]

Can a bot super react?

[polar karma]

If they can, I believe it's undocumented

[tiny condor]

Also one more little thing, is there a component v2 builder for djs?

[unborn scarab]

does djs have a headless way i can use the permissions calculator without using the full discord.js package? I'm using interactions / slash commands over HTTP only, but I still need to do some perm calculation for an outside thing.

my usecase is making sure a specific user has the permission to see a channel before making a fetch for a specific message

[stable sun]

Not at this time. It’s currently baked into d.js

I mean, you could just pull the files that it uses

[unborn scarab]

hmmmm, i guess that's my only option

[rose tangle]

there's builders for every cv2 component

[tiny condor]

I meant a builder with a ui

[rose tangle]

not official though the djs mappings were made by a team member

[tiny condor]

oo thanks

[lunar jewel]

what is a easy way to fix this error:

ReferenceError: require is not defined in ES module scope, you can use import instead
``` from this code:
```js
const birthName = await pool.query(`SELECT * FROM birthdays WHERE month = '${currentMonth}'`)
const birthNames = await birthName[0].map(obj => obj.name).join(`\n`)
``` If I have it commented out I don't get the error...I'm not even sure why I get the error to be honest.

[rose tangle]

not djs related, also that code alone shouldn't cause the error

[lunar jewel]

I figured it was discord.js related my bad...and I think it would because if I insert the code in that is when I get the error. I mean it's not the code that gets called out but it's the only code that is added when I get the error...I will move to another channel I guess

[solemn arch]

Is this how I can make me bot multi guilded or there another way? The code of my config.json is below.

"guildId": ["1398758745277730856", "1398760402216812594"]```

[rose tangle]

what is "multi guilded"?

are you asking about a bot you downloaded somewhere?

[solemn arch]

No I want to work in multiple guilds.

[rose tangle]

bots don't need any configuration to work in multiple guilds

they already do

[rose tangle]

^^

[solemn arch]

No

[solemn arch]

So does that mean I can just remove the guildId part from my config.json?

[rose tangle]

I don't know, that depends on what you programmed

djs doesn't load any config.json

nor does it check any values from there

the fact that you have one, and a guildId property, suggests you programmed something that uses that

I don't know if you did or didn't, that's up to your code

djs doesn't need any special configuration in order to work in multiple guilds though

[solemn arch]

Well I import my clientId, token, and guildId to deploy my commands.

[rose tangle]

so are you asking about how to deploy your commands to multiple guilds?

[solemn arch]

Yes

[rose tangle]

then yeah you can modify your json to include the guilds you want, and iterate there

or if you basically want them to work in every guild the bot is in, deploy them globally

[solemn arch]

Only 2 guilds.

[loud quartz]

only 2 guilds for the commands to be in, or is your bot only in 2 guilds

[solemn arch]

So like this?

"guildId": ["1398758745277730856", "1398760402216812594"]```

[rose tangle]

should still help to deploy globally because commands are different, even if they have the same name and everything else exactly the same

[solemn arch]

Both

[loud quartz]

if both then it doesn't matter

because those 2 guilds are all your guilds

so you can deploy globally

[rose tangle]

if you're asking how to make an array in json, yeah, but you still need to adapt your code to either iterate there or deploy globally and scratch that setting entirely

[solemn arch]

Alr how would I do that?

Or what modifications do I make?

[sharp ginkgo]

Creating Your Bot: Registering slash commands - Global commands
To deploy global commands, you can use the same script from the guild commands section and simply adjust the route in the script to .applicationCommands(clientId)

Thanks for the help.

}

not to sure what it means by unknown interaction and I'm fixing the ephemeral warning now

[sharp ginkgo]

Common causes of DiscordAPIError[10062]: Unknown interaction:

• Initial response took more than 3 seconds ➞ defer the response *.
• Wrong interaction object inside a collector.
• Two processes handling the same command (the first consumes the interaction, so it won't be valid for the other instance)
  * Note: you cannot defer modal or autocomplete value responses

[solemn arch]

Just a question but can you use a events folder and event handling in my index.js file and then have the events in the event folder instead of cluttering up the index.js file.

[clear garnet]

You can design your event handling any way you see fit

And that is indeed one of the ways people set theirs up

[solemn arch]

Alr

I'm having problems with my ticket system. I want my select menu ticket system to create a ticket for me in a certain category based off what you selected in the select menu. It is not doing that, it is instead saying "This interaction failed", sending the select menu and embed to the channel works fine but using the select menu doesn't work. Also there is nothing logged to the console like an error or anything. Attached below is my index.js code, and ticket-system.js event code. (This is where my interaction is created for the entire ticket system)

const fs = require('node:fs');
const path = require('node:path');
const { Client, Collection, GatewayIntentBits } = require('discord.js');
const { token } = require('./config.json');

const client = new Client({ intents: [
    GatewayIntentBits.Guilds
    ] 
});

client.commands = new Collection();
const foldersPath = path.join(__dirname, 'commands');
const commandFolders = fs.readdirSync(foldersPath);

for (const folder of commandFolders) {
    const commandsPath = path.join(foldersPath, folder);
    const commandFiles = fs.readdirSync(commandsPath).filter(file => file.endsWith('.js'));
    for (const file of commandFiles) {
        const filePath = path.join(commandsPath, file);
        const command = require(filePath);
        if ('data' in command && 'execute' in command) {
            client.commands.set(command.data.name, command);
        } else {
            console.log(`[WARNING] The command at ${filePath} is missing a required "data" or "execute" property.`);
        }
    }
}

const eventsPath = path.join(__dirname, 'events');
const eventFiles = fs.readdirSync(eventsPath).filter(file => file.endsWith('.js'));

for (const file of eventFiles) {
    const filePath = path.join(eventsPath, file);
    const event = require(filePath);
    if (event.once) {
        client.once(event.name, (...args) => event.execute(...args));
    } else {
        client.on(event.name, (...args) => event.execute(...args));
    }
}

client.login(token)```

Any help would be appreciated.

[solemn arch]

Why do I copy and paste.

[coarse storm]

If I use shrads to run the same bot on a few hosts, will it supposedly increase API rate limit? (50 per host)

[rigid crest]

i cannot remember but can drop downs support custom emojis?

[stable sun]

No

Global rate limit is by token when present, which is the majority of endpoints

[stable sun]

They are supported

[rigid crest]

ok neat ty

[coarse storm]

My bot is in 2,000+ servers, I am reaching the rate limit many times. Is there any other way to go around it?

[stable sun]

Ur hitting the global rate limit?

[coarse storm]

Yes. the bot has a feature that sends an alert once in a while, to around 1,200 of those servers at once. Time is crucial for these alerts, so we are trying to minimize it

[stable sun]

Can’t you do that with a news channel?

Or even webhooks

[coarse storm]

Not in this case

[coarse storm]

We tried to in the past, but it took even longer to actually be sent in some of those servers

[stable sun]

You can try contacting Discord to get a higher limit, although they will likely tell you to consider alternatives

[coarse storm]

Tried taht as well, and they did just as you said

[stable sun]

Yea, you rly don’t have that much options

[coarse storm]

We did any possible way to shorten it, we are at a point where the time it takes to be sent to all servers is the same as the rate limit

[granite lion]

any function in the whole djs library to use to convert between types of the client and api types?

[red coral]

customInstallURL <- this is the link from what’s in the image when you fetch the ClientApplication?

[ivory palm]

the bot's ws latency meaning the ping shows very high like 600+ms. What could be the problem?

[steel trail]

What's the use case? Because I sense an XY problem

27 12:33:13 error: TypeError: channel.permissionsFor is not a function

[cinder shale]

No

[somber dome]

@steel trail

[manic leaf]

you're using permissionsfor on a channel that doesn't support it. consider checking if it's a valid text channel

[somber dome]

how cheak?

[rancid elbow]

is there a type for these interactions predefined by djs?

I first thought Interaction but that also includes ChatInputCommand

[sharp ginkgo]

MessageComponentInteraction discord.js@14.21.0
Represents a message component interaction.

[rancid elbow]

thank you. do you have a tip on how I could in general find these? 😄

[little pebble]

Just searching on the docs, but that might have been hard to search up in this case so asking here is fine, it just comes with experience I'd say

[rancid elbow]

thank you, time to gain more experience then 😄

[somber dome]

.

[rancid elbow]

there is a .type property you can check with ChannelType

[steel trail]

Or use the typeguard methods

[steel trail]

Best case you'd restrict the channel types on the ChannelOption itself already, then you can use the third parameter of getChannel to also restrict the return value to those types

Instead of doing an unchecked cast

[fading girder]

does guildmemberadd event trigger after the user does the onboarding process?

I basically want to run a script right when the system message "
Immortal
hopped into the server. — 7:03 PM"

pops up

Please tag me when you respond :)

[oblique shale]

(This will be getting used to log invites, not to count anything) Seems like the InviteCreate event isn't getting run.

import { Events, Invite } from "discord.js"
import { Client } from "../../lib/structures/client"

export default {
    name: Events.InviteCreate,
    async execute(_client: Client, invite: Invite) {
        console.log("Invite created")
        if (!invite) return;
        console.log(invite)
    }
}

Any other event does work.

Edit: I forgot to give the intent for guildInvites, woops.

[lean sail]

is there an officiial page on the guide for implementing an eval command?

[polar karma]

No, it's just using the eval function that's native to js, there's nothing related to d.js as far as that

The command handling is handled the same as any other command

[lean sail]

ok

[coarse storm]

Do webhooks have different limits than bots in container?
I made the same container as I did with my webhook, it has 12 sections in it. Was sent fine through webhook but in the bot it gives me errors

[polar karma]

What is the error

[coarse storm]

ExpectedConstraintError > s.array(T).lengthLessThanOrEqual()
Invalid Array length
Expected: expected.length <= 10

Based on the error that is the problem. just didn't know webhooks had different limits

[lavish cedar]

It possible to add image inside the container builder?

[coarse storm]

Yes, using MediaGalleryBuilder

[lavish cedar]

Any eg or guide?

interaction.editReply(`Roundtrip latency: ${sent.resource.message.createdTimestamp - interaction.createdTimestamp}ms`);

[worthy sail]

hi there, we are working on a dashboard but run into issues with sharding...

function calculateShardId(guildId, totalShards) {
    const bigGuildId = BigInt(guildId);
    return Number((bigGuildId >> 22n) % BigInt(totalShards));
}```

```js
const shardId = calculateShardId(guildInfo, manager.totalShards);
        const shard = manager.shards.get(shardId);``` 

is this something that will work to search in the shard the server is placed in?

[loud quartz]

not sure what you need the shard for, but yes, that's the formula to calculate which shard is the guild on

[worthy sail]

thank you

if i send a post request it fires on all shards therefore i get a rate limit

[loud quartz]

what post request?

[worthy sail]

send a message

[loud quartz]

in a guild?

[worthy sail]

yes

[wary coral]

how is the message triggered?

[worthy sail]

well it worked now so i guess all good

[loud quartz]

are you just doing broadcastEval to send?

[worthy sail]

yes using broadcastEval

[loud quartz]

then either your code in it should check if the shard has the guild or channel in its cache

or pass the shard id from the formula to broadcastEval as a param

[worthy sail]

alright check, gonna implement this now

thank for your help

[loud quartz]

first will still run on all shards, but all shards except one will simply not do anything

while the second will only send the broadcast to the specified shard

is there a way to debug modals whenever i try and submit one it says "Something went wrong. Try again"

[loud quartz]

did you skip over the first error there?

at async Object.execute (C:\Users\suspe\Desktop\suggester-export\commands\export.js:12:9) matches with the await interaction.deferReply() in the code you sent

[loud quartz]

are you handling modal submit interactions?
either in the interactionCreate event, or with any collector from the code that showed it?

[novel mauve]

i don't understand how it can be unknown considering the defer is received by discord

[sharp ginkgo]

Common causes of DiscordAPIError[10062]: Unknown interaction:

• Initial response took more than 3 seconds ➞ defer the response *.
• Wrong interaction object inside a collector.
• Two processes handling the same command (the first consumes the interaction, so it won't be valid for the other instance)
  * Note: you cannot defer modal or autocomplete value responses

[loud quartz]

sounds like the third point to me

[novel mauve]

ah that might be it

[sweet apex]

yes i have a modalHandler.js and a modalCreate.js

modalHandler tries to load and unload the modal as well as modal submissions

[loud quartz]

what is client.handleModalSubmission = async (interaction) => {

[novel mauve]

that was it thanks i wouldnt have thought of it

[agile nest]

Can you set selectable values on a user select menu

[sweet apex]

ahhh i had my modalCreate in my function handlers instead of events also i just realized that the client.handleModalSubmission is redundant since my modalCreate handles the submissions

[loud quartz]

well, that is just a random property you attach to the client

your code has to make use of it, discord.js doesn't know about any of that

[sweet apex]

the modals are stored the same way i store commands

client.commands.set(command.data.name, command); and than i fetch them in my interaction creator const command = client.commands.get(interaction.commandName);

[agile nest]

Can you set selectable values on a user select menu

[sharp ginkgo]

documentation suggestion for @agile nest:
UserSelectMenuBuilder#setDefaultUsers() builders@1.11.2
Sets default users for this auto populated select menu.

[rose tangle]

or addDefaultUsers if you want to add from previously set users

[agile nest]

no like instead of select menu having all users from a guild it only has the ones i provided

[rose tangle]

ah, no that's not possible

use a string select menu instead, and fill it with the users you want

[agile nest]

well sadly they dont have small avatars

but ig thats the best i can go with

[rose tangle]

don't bulk-fetch messages frequently?

the only way to prevent ratelimits is to not make the requests in the first place

[glossy field]

if my bot got rate limit how mush time it take to unrate limit or its perm?

[rose tangle]

it's in the timeToReset property

oh, you're a different person, my bad, you can get that data from the rateLimited event

[steel trail]

And that log informs you about djs preventing your bot from hitting that ratelimit by queueing the request until it passes

[somber dome]

not worked

if (channel?.type === ChannelType.GuildText) {  
 if(channel && channel.permissionsFor(interac.client.user).has('ViewChannel')) {

What kind of command is this? Am I correct in assuming it's a user install or your app might be invited without bot scope or Guilds intent?

I don't understand you

How do I check what roles a given GuildMember have? And is there a way to check if a GuildMember has a specific role?

[ripe cloud]

member.roles.cache is a collection of the roles they have

Hey here, I have an error that I don't understand, it's this kind of error where the transpiler says something is not valid and even reading it I'm like "... yes it is???"

    Type 'ChannelType' is not assignable to type 'ChannelType.GuildText | ChannelType.GuildVoice | ChannelType.GuildCategory | ChannelType.GuildAnnouncement | ChannelType.AnnouncementThread | ChannelType.PublicThread | ChannelType.PrivateThread | ChannelType.GuildStageVoice | ChannelType.GuildForum | ChannelType.GuildMedia'.

75         methodOptions: (option: SlashCommandChannelOption) => option.addChannelTypes(...guildChannelTypeWithText),

Like... My variable is an array of ChannelType so I really don't understand what's wrong in here?
