Getting a Type Error on getApplicationCommand function

Hello 👋 I have been learning how to make a discord bot and wanted to make an advanced command + event handler. One of the things that I have found that I have to do is the getApplicationCommand.js function Here is the code for said file

module.exports = async (client, guildId) => {
  let applicationCommands;

  if (guildId) {
    const guild = await client.guilds.fetch(guildId);
    applicationCommands = guild.commands;
  } else {
    applicationCommands = await client.application.commands;
  }

  await applicationCommands.fetch();
  return applicationCommands;
};

module.exports = async (client, guildId) => {
  let applicationCommands;

  if (guildId) {
    const guild = await client.guilds.fetch(guildId);
    applicationCommands = guild.commands;
  } else {
    applicationCommands = await client.application.commands;
  }

  await applicationCommands.fetch();
  return applicationCommands;
};

For some reason, I get this error: TypeError: Cannot read properties of undefined (reading 'fetch') Any ideas?

• 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.

on which fetch cann do you get the error

Bottom one await applicationCommands.fetch(); Any idea what this issue may be? Or maybe just a better way to implement the handler all together?

not really, but you can make a handler using your command files

I am doing this by following a tutorial by Under Ctrl, they do not experience this issue at all, so I'm pretty sure it has something to do with the discordjs version as he made the video 5 months ago ish

videos outdate pretty quickly, better to follow the guide

Alright I'll try to figure it out, moving on tho just a quick question, is there any way to create multipage modals? or do I have to make them submit the first one, and then send a prompt to open the next page?

treble/luna•13mo ago

yep

Panda•13mo ago

uh yep to the first part as in there is a way to do it, or yep to the 2nd part as in i have to do it the other way (doesn't really look nice)

treble/luna•13mo ago

yep to the second part, you'll have to show them a prompt also note that .showModal cannot be used on a ModalSubmitInteraction so you'll have to use commands / buttons etc

Yeah alrighty thankyou very much, I still need to figure out how to do the advanced command + event handler, if I do end up experiencing any more issues ill come back here ig 😄
