How can I check the permissions in @discordjs/core
How can I check the permissions of my bot & the member who sent the message (or interacted with a component) in the handler of the corresponding event?

- What's your exact discord.js
npm list discord.js and node node -v version?
- Not a discord.js issue? Check out #other-js-ts.
- Consider reading #how-to-get-help to improve your question!
- Explain what exactly your issue is.
- Post the full error stack trace, not just the top part!
- Show your code!
- Issue solved? Press the button!Given that the interaction/message was sent while in a guild (you might have to check that when handling the event), you can use
<Message>/<Interaction>.member.permissions and <Message/Interaction>.guild.members.me.permissions<Message>.member.permissions returns undefined;
<Message>.guild.members.me.permissions returns TypeError: Cannot read properties of undefined (reading 'members')
<Interaction>.guild.members.me.permissions returns TypeError: Cannot read properties of undefined (reading 'me')
<Interaction>.member.permissions returns 562949953421311 (contains a valid value)Do you have the
GuildMembers intent?Yes
Can you try using
(await <Message/interaction>.guild.members.fetchMe()).permissions instead?(await <Message>.guild.members.fetchMe()).permissions returns TypeError: Cannot read properties of undefined (reading 'members')
(await <Interaction>.guild.members.fetchMe()).permissions returns TypeError: Cannot read properties of undefined (reading 'fetchMe')That’s interesting, do you have partials enabled?
Idk how to enable partials in @discordjs/core (@discordjs/ws))
Oh, you’re using /core?
yes
Then disregard everything I said before
anyway, thx for help)
I'm not really familiar with /core and I can't seem to find the appropriate things in the documentation, so you probably have to wait for someone else
discord sends
<APIInteraction>.app_permissions as the resolved permissions of the bot in the interaction's channel
if you want to check permissions similar to the main lib's <Interaction>.guild.members.me.permissions, you'd need to setup some caching of your own for roles and members
<APIInteractionGuildMember>.permissions only exists in interaction payloads, so <APIInteraction>.member.permissions will exist
if you're using /core, you'll want to familiarize yourself with and reference the discord docs directly
