How do I force a user to specify at least one input?

I'm working on a bot, and at the moment the bot errors out if the user does not specify any argument. For reference, this is how my command is structured:

public override registerApplicationCommands(registry: Command.Registry) {
        registry.registerChatInputCommand((builder) =>
            builder
                .setName("about")
                .setDescription(
                    "Find details regarding a user's account on the server list.",
                )
                .addUserOption((option) =>
                    option
                        .setName("by_mention")
                        .setDescription("User to find by mention."),
                )
                .addStringOption((option) =>
                    option
                        .setName("by_uuid")
                        .setDescription("User to find by UUID."),
                )
                .setDMPermission(false)
                .setDefaultMemberPermissions(PermissionFlagsBits.KickMembers),
        );
    }

public override registerApplicationCommands(registry: Command.Registry) {
        registry.registerChatInputCommand((builder) =>
            builder
                .setName("about")
                .setDescription(
                    "Find details regarding a user's account on the server list.",
                )
                .addUserOption((option) =>
                    option
                        .setName("by_mention")
                        .setDescription("User to find by mention."),
                )
                .addStringOption((option) =>
                    option
                        .setName("by_uuid")
                        .setDescription("User to find by UUID."),
                )
                .setDMPermission(false)
                .setDefaultMemberPermissions(PermissionFlagsBits.KickMembers),
        );
    }

This is how I'm validating whether or not an argument has been specified; but strangely this kicks out an error:

const mention = interaction.options.getUser("by_mention");
        const uuid = interaction.options.getString("by_uuid");

        if (!mention && !uuid)
            return interaction.reply({
                embeds: [
                    embedBuilder(
                        this.container.client,
                        "You must either specify a user mention, or a UUID to find the user by.",
                    ),
                ],
                ephemeral: true,
            });

const mention = interaction.options.getUser("by_mention");
        const uuid = interaction.options.getString("by_uuid");

        if (!mention && !uuid)
            return interaction.reply({
                embeds: [
                    embedBuilder(
                        this.container.client,
                        "You must either specify a user mention, or a UUID to find the user by.",
                    ),
                ],
                ephemeral: true,
            });

How do I fix this?

Solution:

Strangely the issue doesn't appear to be occurring anymore.. will report back if it happens again.

This is the error:

Something expects an object but gets null. Does embedBuilder possibly return it?

embedBuilder simply returns a MessageEmbed, this works fine for other interaction replies
