client.channels.cache.get or client.channels.fetch doesn't have send function

[pure echo]

Available Channel Things:
Attachment

Code:

import client from "../..";
import { Event } from "../../structures/lib/Event";

export default new Event({
  name: "ready",
  once: true,
  async run() {

    const channel = await client.channels.fetch(client.config.ntx.welcome);
    channel.send("Name")
  },
});

[scarlet heath]

you need to check if channel is text-based .isTextBased()
because you can send messages only in text-based channels

[pure echo]

no you are wrong

this will return boolean

i tried

[stable crow]

Lol

What exactly did you try?

[pure echo]

just sending a message in specific channel

[stable crow]

Referring to this

[pure echo]

nope

from the example in discordjs.guide

[stable crow]

"nope" is not an answer to "What exactly did you try?"

[stable crow]

When you said you tried this solution, what modifications did you make?

[pure echo]

i didn't modified on channel class

literary copied from this https://discordjs.guide/popular-topics/faq.html#how-do-i-send-a-message-to-a-specific-channel

using typescript anyway

[undone bison]

That’s bc it’s a type guard

channel // Channel
if (!channel.isTextBased()) return …
channel // TextBasedChannel```

[pure echo]

thank you, its working. i didn't know the concept of type guard

I don't know if it will autocomplete like that but .send() should work

[pure echo]

yo

[pure echo]

this doesn't work in collector string select menu

i.channel // Channel
if (!i.channel?.isTextBased()) return …
i.channel // Channel

it is bug?

wait nvm

i think its code bug

 const collector = options.createMessageComponentCollector({
        time: 30_000,
        componentType: ComponentType.StringSelect,
      })

      collector.on("collect", (i) => {
        interaction.editReply({
          content: `**Creating Ticket**... (1-3s)`,
          components: [],
        });

        const channel = client.channels.cache.get(client.config.ticket.channel);
        if(!channel?.isTextBased()) return;
        channel?.isTextBased()
      });
