#

ur welcome

tacit elk Dec 25, 2021, 11:12 PM

#

#

I assume you already checked those 2 right?

timid dew Dec 25, 2021, 11:13 PM

#

tacit elk

This is what confuses me.

.setAuthor(`user.tag`, `user.avatarURL`)
Throws the exact same dep warning

tacit elk Dec 25, 2021, 11:14 PM

#

yeah, because you are using strings

#

the error says that passing strings is deprecated

timid dew Dec 25, 2021, 11:14 PM

#

But in the docs it literally says to use strings? lol

#

Type: string

tacit elk Dec 25, 2021, 11:15 PM

#

timid dew But in the docs it literally says to use strings? lol

For the deprecated one

pallid edge Dec 25, 2021, 11:15 PM

#

timid dew But in the docs it literally says to use strings? lol

if u passing only name, can u read the docs/pic properly

#

there

timid dew Dec 25, 2021, 11:15 PM

#

pallid edge if u passing only name, can u read the docs/pic properly

You're actually useless. Got headbutt a brickwall or something lol

pallid edge Dec 25, 2021, 11:15 PM

#

no im literally helping u, ur just not making an effort

#

so good luck

pearl hamlet Dec 25, 2021, 11:16 PM

#

I was just about to send the solution

timid dew Dec 25, 2021, 11:16 PM

#

tacit elk For the deprecated one

So, .setAuthor(object) can only be one object, either name, url or iconURL?

timid dew Dec 25, 2021, 11:17 PM

#

pallid edge no im literally helping u, ur just not making an effort

You're the opposite of helpful mate, you're annoying, shoo

pallid edge Dec 25, 2021, 11:17 PM

#

rule 6 do not ping me

timid dew Dec 25, 2021, 11:17 PM

#

pallid edge rule 6 do not ping me

shoo

tacit elk Dec 25, 2021, 11:17 PM

#

pallid edge ur welcome

.setAuthor can be a stringor EmbedAuthorData or null

timid dew Dec 25, 2021, 11:17 PM

#

pallid edge rule 6 do not ping me

You're involving yourself in a thread where you're not wanted, if you don't want to be pinged then see yourself out lol

tacit elk Dec 25, 2021, 11:18 PM

#

so in .setAuthor you can have a string( which you would use if you only wanted text in the author field ) or you can use the EmbedAuthorData

timid dew Dec 25, 2021, 11:18 PM

#

Yeah, so I'm still not understanding why
.setAuthor({ name: `${target?.user.tag}`, iconURL: `${target?.user.displayAvatarURL({ dynamic: true })}` })

Isn't viable

tacit elk Dec 25, 2021, 11:18 PM

#

tacit elk

so this. Goes in .setAuthor(in here)

tacit elk Dec 25, 2021, 11:19 PM

#

timid dew Yeah, so I'm still not understanding why ```.setAuthor({ name: `${target?.user....

read the error

#

DeprecationWarning: Passing strings for the URL or the icon's URL for MessageEmbed#setAuthor is deprecated. Pass a sole object instead.

timid dew Dec 25, 2021, 11:20 PM

#

Yeah so in other words use one of either name, url or iconURL?

tacit elk Dec 25, 2021, 11:20 PM

#

no wait

#

look. You have

// `${target?.user.tag}`----> this variable is covered in a string
// `${target?.user.displayAvatarURL({ dynamic: true })}` -----> this is covered in a string
.setAuthor({ name: `${target?.user.tag}`, iconURL: `${target?.user.displayAvatarURL({ dynamic: true })}` })

#

you can do name: "Bob"

#

and it would work

tacit elk Dec 25, 2021, 11:23 PM

#

timid dew Yeah so in other words use one of either `name`, `url` or `iconURL`?

just read this line

DeprecationWarning: Passing strings for the URL or the icon's URL for MessageEmbed#setAuthor is deprecated.

timid dew Dec 25, 2021, 11:23 PM

#

I tried that and still got the same warning though

tacit elk Dec 25, 2021, 11:23 PM

#

passings strings for the URL or the icon's URL is deprecated

#

your iconURL is not a string, but you have it around the ``

timid dew Dec 25, 2021, 11:24 PM

#

Hold up, let me find an older message from earlier today

#

So far I have tried, with no luck..

.setAuthor(`${message?.author?.tag}'s message was deleted`, `${message?.author?.displayAvatarURL({ dynamic: true })}`)
.setAuthor({ name: `${message?.author?.tag}'s message was deleted`, iconURL: `${message?.author?.displayAvatarURL({ dynamic: true })}` })
.setAuthor(message?.author?.tag message was deleted, message?.author?.displayAvatarURL({ dynamic: true }))

tacit elk Dec 25, 2021, 11:25 PM

#

yeah, but he should learn how to read and understand errors

timid dew Dec 25, 2021, 11:25 PM

#

I have tried all three of these

#

All gave me the dep warning

tacit elk Dec 25, 2021, 11:26 PM

#

tacit elk look. You have ```js // `${target?.user.tag}`----> this variable is covered in ...

this one should work, but just read the first line of the error

#

it says passing strings is deprecated

#

this is a string hello

#

`hello`

#

that is a string ^

#

iconURL: `${target?.user.displayAvatarURL({ dynamic: true })}`

#

that is also a string

timid dew Dec 25, 2021, 11:28 PM

#

How about this?
.setAuthor(message?.author?.tag message was deleted, message?.author?.displayAvatarURL({ dynamic: true }))

tacit elk Dec 25, 2021, 11:29 PM

#

.setAuthor({ name: `${target?.user.tag}`, iconURL: `${target?.user.displayAvatarURL({ dynamic: true })}` })

Use this one, but remove the strings

#

The error is telling you, you can't use strings in iconURL

timid dew Dec 25, 2021, 11:30 PM

#

I see, I appreciate the help lol I won't lie, still confused as the docs sounds like it contradicting the dep warning. But I shall give that a try and see how I go 😄

tacit elk Dec 25, 2021, 11:30 PM

#

timid dew I see, I appreciate the help lol I won't lie, still confused as the docs sounds ...

Yeah. It is confusing. I also had this problem a few hours ago

#

btw why are you using the ``

#

It's not needed unless you are putting variables into a string

pearl hamlet Dec 25, 2021, 11:35 PM

#

I used `` in mine and it worked fine

tacit elk Dec 25, 2021, 11:35 PM

#

are you using the latest discord.js?

pearl hamlet Dec 25, 2021, 11:35 PM

#

Yes

tacit elk Dec 25, 2021, 11:35 PM

#

hm weird

pearl hamlet Dec 25, 2021, 11:35 PM

#

That's not what his issue is

#

He can use backticks, it just needs to be an object which it is

tacit elk Dec 25, 2021, 11:36 PM

#

this is what I have

.setAuthor({name: user.username, iconURL: user.displayAvatarURL({dynamic: true})})

timid dew Dec 25, 2021, 11:36 PM

#

.setAuthor({ name: target?.user.tag, iconURL: target?.user.displayAvatarURL({ dynamic: true }) })

(Use `node --trace-deprecation ...` to show where the warning was created)```

pearl hamlet Dec 25, 2021, 11:37 PM

#

You can do `${user.username}` and it will still work

#

send the full error @timid dew

timid dew Dec 25, 2021, 11:38 PM

#

pearl hamlet send the full error <@!438434841617367080>

That's the full error mate

#

Oh

#

you mean trace

pearl hamlet Dec 25, 2021, 11:38 PM

#

what command are you doing to trigger that?

timid dew Dec 25, 2021, 11:39 PM

#

pearl hamlet what command are you doing to trigger that?

Just a Whois context command. But it happens on any embed I use at the moment

.setAuthor({ name: target?.user.tag})

#

try that on the whois command

#

and when you do the whois cmd let me know if it gives the same error

timid dew Dec 25, 2021, 11:41 PM

#

pearl hamlet and when you do the whois cmd let me know if it gives the same error

Same thing

pearl hamlet Dec 25, 2021, 11:42 PM

#

try {name: "Hello"}

#

if it still gives an error, its coming from somewhere else

timid dew Dec 25, 2021, 11:43 PM

#

pearl hamlet if it still gives an error, its coming from somewhere else

Same thing

pearl hamlet Dec 25, 2021, 11:43 PM

#

are you using setAuthor anywhere else before you execute that command?

timid dew Dec 25, 2021, 11:43 PM

#

I have no other embed in this file and I'm not requiring any other files and afaik no other code should be getting called at all https://sourceb.in/f0fzwXiZBo

timid dew Dec 25, 2021, 11:44 PM

#

pearl hamlet are you using ``setAuthor`` anywhere else before you execute that command?

Nope

pearl hamlet Dec 25, 2021, 11:44 PM

#

Are you on the newest version of discord.js?

timid dew Dec 25, 2021, 11:45 PM

#

pearl hamlet Are you on the newest version of discord.js?

Yessir, updating is when this dep warning started

#

Have been asking in djs server all day for help and no one could figure it out

pearl hamlet Dec 25, 2021, 11:46 PM

#

your node is up to date too?

#

node -v

timid dew Dec 25, 2021, 11:47 PM

#

Yessir

#

Well up to date enough, right? lol

pearl hamlet Dec 25, 2021, 11:47 PM

#

Yea

#

The only thing i can think of is that setAuthor is getting called from somewhere else in your code and the error is being shown because it hasn't been updated

#

so for example if your bot sends logs, it may be using setAuthor

timid dew Dec 25, 2021, 11:49 PM

#

pearl hamlet The only thing i can think of is that ``setAuthor`` is getting called from somew...

Yeah I mean, it's likely but I don't think so. It happens all throughout my project, I'd have to go back through it all and double check but I'm pretty sure I got them all changed, and still getting the warnings

#

Hmm, let me check

pearl hamlet Dec 25, 2021, 11:51 PM

#

Use this in visual studio code, it should be up on the top left for you

#

then search for setAuthor

#

it will show you all of the files setAuthor is in

timid dew Dec 25, 2021, 11:52 PM

#

Holy shit dude, you're a fucking genius 😄 I put a little log in interactionCreate while I was testing and never removed it 😄 duuude you're a god

pearl hamlet Dec 25, 2021, 11:53 PM

#

sorted? pepesmile

timid dew Dec 25, 2021, 11:53 PM

#

YES! Thank you my guy! I been racking my brain for hours trying to sort that out haha

pearl hamlet Dec 25, 2021, 11:53 PM

#

ight no worries, have a good one

timid dew Dec 25, 2021, 11:54 PM

#

Cheers mate, you too! Merry Christmas
