14.9.0 Client.on('guildMemberUpdate') Problem

Hello! I am on discord js 14.9.0 and I am trying to use client.on('guildMemberUpdate') within an event file. The documentation says that there are two parameters, oldMember, and newMember. When I try to use the paramaters, I get the oldMember parameter working, but the newMember parameter returns undefined. Code snippet:

module.exports = {name: Events.GuildMemberUpdate, 
async execute(oldMember: GuildMember, newMember: GuildMember)
{
    console.log(oldMember) // Returns the member before role changes
    console.log(newMember) // Returns undefined
}}

module.exports = {name: Events.GuildMemberUpdate, 
async execute(oldMember: GuildMember, newMember: GuildMember)
{
    console.log(oldMember) // Returns the member before role changes
    console.log(newMember) // Returns undefined
}}

module.exports = {name: Events.GuildMemberUpdate, 
async execute(oldMember: GuildMember, newMember: GuildMember)
{
    console.log(oldMember) // Returns the member before role changes
    console.log(newMember) // Returns undefined
}}

module.exports = {name: Events.GuildMemberUpdate, 
async execute(oldMember: GuildMember, newMember: GuildMember)
{
    console.log(oldMember) // Returns the member before role changes
    console.log(newMember) // Returns undefined
}}

Node version is v16.5.1

NxbulaOP•11/9/23, 2:01 AM

I have Guild Member intents, like I said, I do recieve the oldMember, but newMember returns undefined.

Feel free to ping me if you know the problem.

show your event handler

ShompiFlen•11/9/23, 3:36 AM

also any reason why you haven't updated to 14.13?

SShompiFlen also any reason why you haven't updated to 14.13?

NxbulaOP•11/9/23, 3:37 AM

Lack of awareness of that being a thing

SShompiFlen show your event handler

NxbulaOP•11/9/23, 3:37 AM

I can send the event handler, but just so you know the event is being registered and I do recieve the logs when a role is updated

ShompiFlen•11/9/23, 3:37 AM

update when you can, just throwing it out there i dont think that will solve the issue

ShompiFlen•11/9/23, 3:37 AM

yea send it i wanna see it

SShompiFlen update when you can, just throwing it out there i dont think that will solve the...

In the index.js file

ShompiFlen•11/9/23, 3:40 AM

do you see the issue here

ShompiFlen•11/9/23, 3:41 AM

can you tell me where are you passing the event arguments

oldMember

oldMember

and

newMember

newMember

to the event

execute()

execute()

function?

SShompiFlen do you see the issue here

NxbulaOP•11/9/23, 3:41 AM

Nope

NxbulaOP•11/9/23, 3:42 AM

NxbulaOP•11/9/23, 3:42 AM

Works for every other event I've used, not sure why it doesn't work here.

ShompiFlen•11/9/23, 3:42 AM

ok so you are a little confused here
you define this execute function with these two arguments

oldMember, newMember

oldMember, newMember

, that part is fine

ShompiFlen•11/9/23, 3:42 AM

the part that is not fine is your event handler

ShompiFlen•11/9/23, 3:43 AM

you are only passing the client to this functions

ShompiFlen•11/9/23, 3:43 AM

that "works in other events" is a little sus

NxbulaOP•11/9/23, 3:43 AM

I understand that, but there are other events here where I use the exact same thing

NxbulaOP•11/9/23, 3:43 AM

NxbulaOP•11/9/23, 3:43 AM

This works for example

NxbulaOP•11/9/23, 3:43 AM

Exact same way

NxbulaOP•11/9/23, 3:43 AM

exact same folder

ShompiFlen•11/9/23, 3:44 AM

ok i see another issue

SShompiFlen that "works in other events" is a little sus

NxbulaOP•11/9/23, 3:44 AM

Also keep in mind, it isn't returning the client, the event is registering, it is returning a GuildMember for oldMember, but it is returning undefined for newMember

ShompiFlen•11/9/23, 3:44 AM

yes i think i just saw that now

ShompiFlen•11/9/23, 3:44 AM

you have a typing issue

ShompiFlen•11/9/23, 3:44 AM

(also)

NxbulaOP•11/9/23, 3:44 AM

What is it?

ShompiFlen•11/9/23, 3:45 AM

this

client.on(event.name, (client:Client)

client.on(event.name, (client:Client)

is assuming you will receive a Client object on every event and passing that to the execute function, this is not right

ShompiFlen•11/9/23, 3:45 AM

you will receive a different argument type depending on the event you are receiving

ShompiFlen•11/9/23, 3:45 AM

that said, you are only passing 1 argument to the guildMemberUpdate event

ShompiFlen•11/9/23, 3:45 AM

thats why your newMember is undefined

ShompiFlen•11/9/23, 3:46 AM

I think you can easily fix this if you instead of doing

(client: Client) =>

(client: Client) =>

you do

(...args: any)

(...args: any)

then pass

...args

...args

to the

execute()

execute()

call

NxbulaOP•11/9/23, 3:46 AM

Ah I see

NxbulaOP•11/9/23, 3:47 AM

I copied the code for event handling a while back, not sure if it was updated recently

NxbulaOP•11/9/23, 3:47 AM

But I see it there now

NxbulaOP•11/9/23, 3:47 AM

Honestly no clue how it magically worked all this time, but I really appreciate the help

ShompiFlen•11/9/23, 3:48 AM

i doubt this would've work at any point to be honest, i mean it does work for some events that only require 1 argument, but for those that receive more than 1 it probably wouldn't have worked anyway

SShompiFlen i doubt this would've work at any point to be honest, i mean it does work for so...

NxbulaOP•11/9/23, 3:48 AM

Yeah, I have a backend so most the discord bot operations are more simplistic, like on ready or on message, so I've never had to deal with this problem

NxbulaOP•11/9/23, 3:48 AM

It's worked for a year now though so very surprised
