#Crash if members do not have a permission.

So I have implemented checking for permission. I am using, for example, member.has(['MANAGE_GUILD']) and if it returns true it performs the command. When the member has the permission it performs all right but if the member does not have the permission, I get the BITFIELD_INVALID error. Why is that?

So member is a PermissionsBitField in this instance (bad variable naming/would at least need some explanation in your question)
ManageGuild would be a valid value, CamelCase not SCREAMING_SNAKE_CASE

Why did it work when the member actually had the permission tho....

#

Additionally I was just following the names on the official discord website as the documentation mentioned

Probably because that if wasn’t reached in that case
