user undefined

I am encounting following error: TypeError: Cannot read properties of undefined (reading 'user') Here is the code:

const { SlashCommandBuilder } = require("discord.js");

module.exports = {
  data: new SlashCommandBuilder()
    .setName("status")
    .setDescription("Sets the status of the bot")
    .addStringOption((option) =>
      option
        .setName("type")
        .setDescription("Choose which one you want it to be")
        .setRequired(true)
        .addChoices(
          { name: "Online", value: "online" },
          { name: "Idle", value: "idle" },
          { name: "Do not disturb", value: "dnd" },
          { name: "Invisible", value: "invisible" }
        )
    ),
  async execute(interaction, client) {
    const { options } = interaction;
    const type = options.getString("type");

    try {
      await client.user.setPresence({ status: type });
    } catch (error) {
      console.log(error);
    }
  },
};

const { SlashCommandBuilder } = require("discord.js");

module.exports = {
  data: new SlashCommandBuilder()
    .setName("status")
    .setDescription("Sets the status of the bot")
    .addStringOption((option) =>
      option
        .setName("type")
        .setDescription("Choose which one you want it to be")
        .setRequired(true)
        .addChoices(
          { name: "Online", value: "online" },
          { name: "Idle", value: "idle" },
          { name: "Do not disturb", value: "dnd" },
          { name: "Invisible", value: "invisible" }
        )
    ),
  async execute(interaction, client) {
    const { options } = interaction;
    const type = options.getString("type");

    try {
      await client.user.setPresence({ status: type });
    } catch (error) {
      console.log(error);
    }
  },
};

Any Ideas why?

- 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. - Issue solved? Press the button!

what? @_thethe this is the solution, you can do this

Deca•2y ago

oh sorry I think I misunderstood the question

DokterOP•2y ago

atleast it doesnt give me errors now 🙂 the status still not changing 🤔

Shaurya•2y ago

client.user is undefined, try logging the client and check what's logging

Deca•2y ago

You could also do something else if there's no client user found

DokterOP•2y ago

Not related but Can I do something like this when some of functions are not in interaction?

getClient: () => {
    return client;
},
getUser: (guildId: string, userId: string) => {
    let guild = client.guilds.cache.get(guildId);
    let member = guild?.members.cache.get(userId);

    return member;
},

getClient: () => {
    return client;
},
getUser: (guildId: string, userId: string) => {
    let guild = client.guilds.cache.get(guildId);
    let member = guild?.members.cache.get(userId);

    return member;
},

yeah but I believe this works with interaction.client too.

// It's a function declared in the same file where the `client` is
getUser: (guildId: string, userId: string) => {
    let guild = client.guilds.cache.get(guildId);
    let member = guild?.members.cache.get(userId);

    return member;
},

// It's a function declared in the same file where the `client` is
getUser: (guildId: string, userId: string) => {
    let guild = client.guilds.cache.get(guildId);
    let member = guild?.members.cache.get(userId);

    return member;
},

I mean

        interaction.client.guilds.cache.get(interaction.guildId);

        interaction.client.guilds.cache.get(interaction.guildId);
