discord.js - Imagine a bot•9mo ago

Doesn't fetch the channel, why?

const channel = client.channels.fetch("1198299044582281216", { force: true });
console.log(channel.name);

const channel = client.channels.fetch("1198299044582281216", { force: true });
console.log(channel.name);

You need to await the promise returned when fetching

TissemyrenOP•9mo ago

then it just sets channel to null

Show me how you're doing it

const channel = await client.channels.fetch("1198299044582281216", { force: true });
console.log(channel.name);

const channel = await client.channels.fetch("1198299044582281216", { force: true });

Show the full code where you're doing this

const { EmbedBuilder, WebhookClient } = require("discord.js");

module.exports = async (client) => {
    console.log("Loaded: Message Logger");

    try {
        const webhook = new WebhookClient({ id: '', token: '' });
        const embed = new EmbedBuilder()
        const channel = await client.channels.fetch("1198299044582281216", { force: true });
        console.log(channel.name);

        client.on("messageDelete", function(message) {
            if (message.author.bot) return;

            
        })

        client.on("messageUpdate", function(oldMessage, message) {
            if (message.author.bot) return;

            
        })
    } catch(error) {

Do it in an event once the bot has connected and is in a ready state

d.js docs•9mo ago

:event: (event) Client#ready Emitted when the client becomes ready to start working.

probablyraging•9mo ago

And also make sure you reset your token now

👍🏼

You also don't need to force fetch a channel since channels are cached by default (except threads and dm channels)
