#member.dmChannel.awaitMessages() breaking when updating from v14.11 to v14.12

I currently have the following code which works perfectly in discord.js v14.11 however when I upgraded to v14.12, I started getting the following error Cannot read properties of null (reading 'awaitMessages'). This can't be an issue with the code since when I downgrade back to v14.11 it starts working perfectly again so I'm not sure what's going on.

let member = await client.users.fetch(memberId)
let message = await member.dmChannel.awaitMessages({ filter, max: 1, time: timeOutTime, errors: ['time'] });

Fetching a user doesn’t include the dm channel

#

You either have to open one or send a dm, if ur alr doing that

Why did it work in 14.11 though?

#

As well as every version of 14 prior to the current one

#

Also the bot does DM the user before awaiting the message

solar torrent
#

Await the user.send

humble badger
#

I do that

let message = await member.send({ embeds: [promptEmbed] })
solar torrent
#

Ur sending the message before calling awaitMessages?

humble badger
#

Yeah, it's quite a bit higher in the function though

#

But there is definitely a DM open with the user before it tries to await a message

solar torrent
#

Can you show the whole function?

humble badger
#

It's a little bit of a mess but sure

Oh, ur sharding

humble badger
#

Yeah I don't have a choice unfortunately which adds extra complications to everything

#

I have a feeling this is a bug in 14.12.0 and above just because of the fact that it immediately fixes itself when I downgrade to 14.11.0.

If you could get a minimum reproducible code sample, that would be great

nova path
#

Managed to get one

client.on(Events.ClientReady, async () => {
    const user = await client.users.fetch("user_id");
    const message = await user.send("Hi");
    console.log(message.channel);
});

#

Sorry I didn't see your original message but yeah that should do the same thing
