How has this line changed from v13?

const testGuild = client.guilds.cache.get('1006932090102747238'); It is saying TypeError: Cannot read properties of undefined (reading 'guilds')

• 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.

client is undefined (It has not changed)
Erin
ErinOP•3y ago
Alright, any ideas why that is @mozzy ? now that you say that I do see another error on the console.log here: 
module.exports = {
    name: 'guildCreate',
    async execute(guild, message, client) {
        const testGuild = client.guilds.cache.get('1006932090102747238');


        console.log('client?', client)
module.exports = {
    name: 'guildCreate',
    async execute(guild, message, client) {
        const testGuild = client.guilds.cache.get('1006932090102747238');


        console.log('client?', client)

guildCreate only emits guild. You will need to pass client another way. Or you can probably do guild.client
Erin
ErinOP•3y ago
Doesn't work. So how do people get bots to send messages when they first get added to a guild?
Mozzy
Mozzy•3y ago
guild.channels is a thing And some additional channel properties https://discord.js.org/#/docs/discord.js/stable/class/Guild
Discord.js
Discord.js is a powerful node.js module that allows you to interact with the Discord API very easily. It takes a much more object-oriented approach than most other JS Discord libraries, making your bot's code significantly tidier and easier to comprehend.
Mozzy
Mozzy•3y ago
Where are you trying to send the message?
Erin
ErinOP•3y ago
In a test server using the variable testGuild in a specific channel that only I can see.
Mozzy
Mozzy•3y ago
And why can't you use guild.client.guilds.cache.get()?
Erin
ErinOP•3y ago
This is why

Read my message again
Erin

line 11 is the last line here: 
module.exports = {
    name: 'guildCreate',
    async execute(guild, message, ) {
        const testGuild = guild.client.guilds.cache.get('1006932090102747238');
        console.log('client?', client)
module.exports = {
    name: 'guildCreate',
    async execute(guild, message, ) {
        const testGuild = guild.client.guilds.cache.get('1006932090102747238');
        console.log('client?', client)
Don't I still need to get the ID that the channel is in?
Mozzy
Mozzy•3y ago
Well, client isn't defined guild.client probably is
Erin
ErinOP•3y ago
Okay, now it is saying channels isn't defined... entire command:

        console.log('client?', guild.client)

        connection.query(`INSERT INTO guildConfig (guildId) VALUES(?);`, [guild.id]);

        const added = {
            name: 'I was just added to a new guild!',

this line is causing it... channel = testGuild.channels.cache.get('1006932090102747238');
