Why is it randomly saying this is not a function. It was working an hour ago 😐

#

mighty tartan Jul 20, 2022, 10:12 PM

#

bronze falcon what is channel?

Channel is a channel created by a command

#

(ModMail system)

bronze falcon Jul 20, 2022, 10:13 PM

#

can u show rest of line?

stark scaffold Jul 20, 2022, 10:14 PM

#

Just .then()

bronze falcon Jul 20, 2022, 10:14 PM

#

monbreyFacepalm what is before then

#

nah thats enough to say why this is wrong

stark scaffold Jul 20, 2022, 10:15 PM

#

Like I said, it worked earlier today

mighty tartan Jul 20, 2022, 10:15 PM

#

By chaining a second .then what you get is the return value of the first .then

#

Which is a message, not a channel

stark scaffold Jul 20, 2022, 10:15 PM

#

so how would I fix this

bronze falcon Jul 20, 2022, 10:16 PM

#

return chanel in first then

mighty tartan Jul 20, 2022, 10:16 PM

#

Dont shadow the channel variable, or just dont use multiple thens

#

This is where async/await starts to become a much nicer syntax

#

Your final third .then is wrong too

#

Not a callback method

#

You could do .then(message => message.channel.send in the middle one

stark scaffold Jul 20, 2022, 10:18 PM

#

I moved the final .then

#

to a better place

#

but how do I fix the other thing

stark scaffold Jul 20, 2022, 10:19 PM

#

bronze falcon return chanel in first then

It wont let me

bronze falcon Jul 20, 2022, 10:20 PM

#

just use await

stark scaffold Jul 20, 2022, 10:20 PM

#

What would that do to return it

I said how

mighty tartan Jul 20, 2022, 10:21 PM

#

mighty tartan You could do `.then(message => message.channel.send` in the middle one

Literally this

#

It returns a message so treat it like a message

stark scaffold Jul 20, 2022, 10:22 PM

#

mighty tartan Literally this

Okay

#

#

Putting them in a single .then does this

stark scaffold Jul 20, 2022, 10:23 PM

#

mighty tartan It returns a message so treat it like a message

Ok

bronze falcon Jul 20, 2022, 10:23 PM

#

stark scaffold

stark scaffold Jul 20, 2022, 10:25 PM
