Property 'send' does not exist on type channel types

I am following the guide on setting up a basic command using sapphire, but using channel.send throws an odd error.

import { Command } from '@sapphire/framework';
import { Message } from 'discord.js';

export class PingCommand extends Command {
  public constructor(context: Command.LoaderContext, options: Command.Options) {
    super(context, {
      ...options,
      name: 'test',
      description: 'testy test test',
    });
  }

  public async messageRun(message: Message) {
    const msg = await message.channel.send('Test...');

    const content = `Pong from JavaScript! Bot Latency ${Math.round(this.container.client.ws.ping)}ms. API Latency ${
      msg.createdTimestamp - message.createdTimestamp
    }ms.`;

    return msg.edit(content);
  }
}

import { Command } from '@sapphire/framework';
import { Message } from 'discord.js';

export class PingCommand extends Command {
  public constructor(context: Command.LoaderContext, options: Command.Options) {
    super(context, {
      ...options,
      name: 'test',
      description: 'testy test test',
    });
  }

  public async messageRun(message: Message) {
    const msg = await message.channel.send('Test...');

    const content = `Pong from JavaScript! Bot Latency ${Math.round(this.container.client.ws.ping)}ms. API Latency ${
      msg.createdTimestamp - message.createdTimestamp
    }ms.`;

    return msg.edit(content);
  }
}

Solution:

Nvm I needed to type guard it with if (!message.channel.isSendable()) return;
