Cannot read properties of undefined (reading 'send')

I'm awaiting the ready event from my bot to send a message. Sadly that doesn't work. Any ideas?

        (async () => {
            try {
                await ready;
                client.channels.cache.get(channelID).send({ content: " ", embeds: [embed_events] }).then(sent => {
                    databases.overview.message_id = sent.id;
                });
            } catch (err) {
                console.error(err);
            }
        })();

        (async () => {
            try {
                await ready;
                client.channels.cache.get(channelID).send({ content: " ", embeds: [embed_events] }).then(sent => {
                    databases.overview.message_id = sent.id;
                });
            } catch (err) {
                console.error(err);
            }
        })();

Error:

TypeError: Cannot read properties of undefined (reading 'send')

1. Invalid channel id 2. Channel is not cached

SchlaumeyerOP•2y ago

Channel ID is correct. How can I see if the channel is cached? Or fix that?

Syjalo•2y ago

Is that a guild channel?

SchlaumeyerOP•2y ago

It's a channel in a discord server, if you mean that, yes. The bot also has access to it (it has administrator permissions)

Syjalo•2y ago

Do you have Guilds intent?

SchlaumeyerOP•2y ago

I guess so

const client = new Client({ intents: ['Guilds', 'GuildMessages'] });

const client = new Client({ intents: ['Guilds', 'GuildMessages'] });

What is in your ready variable?

SchlaumeyerOP•2y ago

Promise { undefined }

const ready = new Promise((resolve) => {
    client.on('ready', () => resolve());
});

export { ready };

(async () => {
    try {
        await ready;
        console.log(ready)
        console.log(`Eingeloggt als ${client.user.tag}`);
    } catch (err) {
        console.error(err);
    }
})();

const ready = new Promise((resolve) => {
    client.on('ready', () => resolve());
});

export { ready };

(async () => {
    try {
        await ready;
        console.log(ready)
        console.log(`Eingeloggt als ${client.user.tag}`);
    } catch (err) {
        console.error(err);
    }
})();

That's the index.js file. I'm importing ready in another file and wait that I can send a message
