discord.js - Imagine an app•13mo ago

interaction.channel = null

Sometimes interaction.channel = null. This is often fixed by restarting the bot. But I don't want to restart the bot every 24 hours. It's a command interaction that was executed in a guild. The bot is in this guild and the guild is cached.

// It returned "true" anyways
if (!interaction.inCachedGuild()) await client.guilds.fetch(client.config.guild_id);

// It returned "true" anyways
if (!interaction.inCachedGuild()) await client.guilds.fetch(client.config.guild_id);

Along with that I fetch the channel if I am receiveing a chanel partial

const channel = interaction.channel == null ? await interaction.channel.fetch() : interaction.channel;

const channel = interaction.channel == null ? await interaction.channel.fetch() : interaction.channel;

But I am still getting this error

• What's your exact discord.js npm list discord.js and node node -v version? • Post the full error stack trace, not just the top part! • Show your code! • Explain what exactly your issue is. • Not a discord.js issue? Check out #useful-servers.

This should throw Cannot read properties of null

Syjalo•13mo ago

Could you show the full error?

Zeroknights•13mo ago

I cannot show you the full stack trace because I am dumb and I just logged the error name without the stack trace. However another error occured when it proceed and tried to send an embed

This is probably the same error anyways. So is interaction.channel even null 😂

treble/luna•13mo ago

the channel id gets passed into the url so your channel isnt null, its just not a valid channel could be a message id, role id, user id etc

Syjalo•13mo ago

It looks like the channel already got deleted when the bot sent the message

Zeroknights•13mo ago

it doesn't get deleted because it errors 😂 but I gotta correct myself, this is not a command interaction. It's a button interaction

Syjalo•13mo ago

At least there's already no channel with that id

Zeroknights•13mo ago

Sometimes it works after restarting the bot this doesn't make sence and overall it errors 1 out of 10 button interactions

Syjalo•13mo ago

Could you show your ticketClose code?

Zeroknights•13mo ago

sure

In line 35 you should log the error to console, not send it as an embed, it's not an embed.

Zeroknights•13mo ago

it's a custom function it returns the embed and logs the error

if (!interaction.inCachedGuild()) await client.guilds.fetch(client.config.guild_id);
const channel = interaction.channel == null ? await interaction.channel.fetch() : interaction.channel;

if (!interaction.inCachedGuild()) await client.guilds.fetch(client.config.guild_id);
const channel = interaction.channel == null ? await interaction.channel.fetch() : interaction.channel;

I have been told that a possibility is that the guild is not cached, I had no idea to fix it so I added that (being aware of that this probably doesn't work that way) So originally these 2 lines would be gone I see but I am still wondering how this can happen but none of them are the reasons, it's a bot account 100% and the command was executed in a guild where the bot is a memberof let me double check nope

d.js docs•13mo ago

Please add the following code to your code base outside of any other event listeners and provide the full log output relevant to your issue.

client
    .on("debug", console.log)
    .on("warn", console.log)

client
    .on("debug", console.log)
    .on("warn", console.log)

• Note: if you initialize your Client as bot or other identifiers you need to use these instead of client • If the output is too long to post consider using a bin instead: gist | paste.gg | sourceb.in | hastebin

Zeroknights•13mo ago

that's what I am thinking I can't reproduce this issue but someone else who has access to the bot he's using node v20, might this be an issue here? It is my bot, but another user who's using my bot told me that this isn't working. So I got access to his hosting provider to get all required information (he got the files) bot code nope he created his own bot account because he gave me perms You can trust me at that point I am not retarded holy
