TypeError [InvalidType]: Supplied parameter is not a User nor a Role.

Hey everyone, running into a weird error trying to create a channel with specific permissions.

const channel = await this.parentGuild.channels.create({
      name: `${options.memberName}-cancellation`,
      parent: this.CHANNEL_PARENT_ID,
      permissionOverwrites: [
        { id: options.memberId, allow: PermissionFlagsBits.SendMessages }
      ]
    })

const channel = await this.parentGuild.channels.create({
      name: `${options.memberName}-cancellation`,
      parent: this.CHANNEL_PARENT_ID,
      permissionOverwrites: [
        { id: options.memberId, allow: PermissionFlagsBits.SendMessages }
      ]
    })

The parentGuild object was fetched using client.guilds.fetch() (part of a class thats constructed at startup). options.memberId is also 100% a user snowflake, its being passed in via an api route but it's copied right from the discord client. I've also tried with id: "snowflake" to no avail. Can anyone figure out whats going on.

what does logging it says

Matthew JamesOP•7mo ago

first line is console.log(typeof options.memberId)

duck•7mo ago

when using an id directly for an overwrite (particularly for uncached structures), you'll want to specify the type of the overwrite that being OverwriteType.Member in this case

Matthew JamesOP•7mo ago

Fixed, thanks. Docs examples show a memberId being used without the optional type parameter (below), worth opening an issue for?

duck•7mo ago

probably not, the example shows using the id for a cached structure

Matthew JamesOP•7mo ago

Cached structure as in the cached guild?

duck•7mo ago

no, the cached author

Matthew JamesOP•7mo ago

oh, right, okay That makes sense, thank you
