client.channels.cache.get(channelId) returning undefined

Hello, I'm unsure why a specific message is returning undefined from a channel. Could use another set of eyes since I've been staring for so long.

const { Client, Events, GatewayIntentBits, Partials, ReactionManager, SlashCommandBuilder,} = require("discord.js");
const clientInstance = require("../../bot.js");

module.exports = {
    data: new SlashCommandBuilder()
      .setName("verify")
      .setDescription("assign and remove the verify role for the rules."),


    async execute(interaction, client) {
      const botMessage = await interaction.deferReply({
        fetchReply: true,
      });

      
      const message = client.channels.cache
      .get(1103869557849997403)
      .messages.cache.get(1164272120994463744); //message id;
      console.log(message);

  
    if (!message) {
      console.error('Message not found.');
      return;
    }

const { Client, Events, GatewayIntentBits, Partials, ReactionManager, SlashCommandBuilder,} = require("discord.js");
const clientInstance = require("../../bot.js");

module.exports = {
    data: new SlashCommandBuilder()
      .setName("verify")
      .setDescription("assign and remove the verify role for the rules."),


    async execute(interaction, client) {
      const botMessage = await interaction.deferReply({
        fetchReply: true,
      });

      
      const message = client.channels.cache
      .get(1103869557849997403)
      .messages.cache.get(1164272120994463744); //message id;
      console.log(message);

  
    if (!message) {
      console.error('Message not found.');
      return;
    }

I'll give that a try, thank you!

the variable for message is returning as undefined, so it's not able to find the message with the specific id

MessageManager#fetch() Fetches message(s) from a channel. (more...)

I'll give that a try 🙂

 
module.exports = {
    data: new SlashCommandBuilder()
      .setName("verify")
      .setDescription("assign and remove the verify role for the rules."),


    async execute(interaction, client) {
      const botMessage = await interaction.deferReply({
        fetchReply: true,
      });

const message = await  client.channels.get('1103869557849997403').messages.fetch('1164272120994463744');
    console.log(message);

 
module.exports = {
    data: new SlashCommandBuilder()
      .setName("verify")
      .setDescription("assign and remove the verify role for the rules."),


    async execute(interaction, client) {
      const botMessage = await interaction.deferReply({
        fetchReply: true,
      });

const message = await  client.channels.get('1103869557849997403').messages.fetch('1164272120994463744');
    console.log(message);

am I using this right? I'm still getting undefined oh hang on this is a different error

Does this mean the client channel is reading as undefined?

okay so I was able to get that working using fetch. For some reason I'm having a similar issue using it later down the line as well trying to get the members.

    const members = await interaction.client.members.fetch()
    .then(console.log)
    .catch(error);

    const members = await interaction.client.members.fetch()
    .then(console.log)
    .catch(error);

Throws the error:

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

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

SnapperOP•14mo ago

https://old.discordjs.dev/#/docs/discord.js/14.13.0/class/GuildMemberManager?scrollTo=fetch Says it should be returning a collection

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.

SnapperOP•14mo ago

I should also mention that this method is failing as well

    const members = await interaction.client.members.cache.array();

    const members = await interaction.client.members.cache.array();

oh okay that actually makes a lot more sense. What's a good way to access the guild from the discord client? I would assume client.guild?
