Channel permission check

so i am trying to find if bot have permission to send message in channel or not, i using this code

// Check if the bot has permission to send messages in the music channel
      if (!interaction.guild.members.me.permissionsIn(musicChannel).has(PermissionsBitField.Flags.SendMessages)) {
        return interaction.reply("I don't have permissions to send messages in that channel.").catch(err => {
          client.error(err);
        });
      }

// Check if the bot has permission to send messages in the music channel
      if (!interaction.guild.members.me.permissionsIn(musicChannel).has(PermissionsBitField.Flags.SendMessages)) {
        return interaction.reply("I don't have permissions to send messages in that channel.").catch(err => {
          client.error(err);
        });
      }

also i have this options enable

props = {
            partials: [
                Partials.Channel, // for text channel
                Partials.GuildMember, // for guild member
                Partials.User, // for discord user
            ],
            intents: [
                GatewayIntentBits.Guilds,
                GatewayIntentBits.GuildInvites,
                GatewayIntentBits.GuildVoiceStates,
                GatewayIntentBits.GuildMessages,
            ],
        }

props = {
            partials: [
                Partials.Channel, // for text channel
                Partials.GuildMember, // for guild member
                Partials.User, // for discord user
            ],
            intents: [
                GatewayIntentBits.Guilds,
                GatewayIntentBits.GuildInvites,
                GatewayIntentBits.GuildVoiceStates,
                GatewayIntentBits.GuildMessages,
            ],
        }

Mark•7mo ago

It should return false if it doesn't have the permission according to the code you showed I don't see the problem

KarlsefniOP•7mo ago

Mark•7mo ago

You can always log permissionsIn().serialize() and look at the permissions it lists

So it has the permission, but it is still returning the message saying it doesn't have it?

KarlsefniOP•7mo ago

dham when i check the json it said ViewChannel false no wonder it throwing error hahahaha

Mark•7mo ago

There's that too, good catch, but I didn't think it'd cause that behavior

KarlsefniOP•7mo ago

well bot was crashing and throwing error rawError: { message: 'Missing Access', code: 50001 }, code: 50001, status: 403, method: 'POST',

Mark•7mo ago

That is usually helpful to include when asking for help Because that would have pointed me in a different direction from the start

KarlsefniOP•7mo ago

sorry my bad thanx for the help

Mark•7mo ago
