discord.js - Imagine an app•2mo ago

(solved) Strange permissions error inside discordjs that I cant catch and cant replicate?

Once in a while I will receive a strange error from discordjs that will crash my entire bot, and a try/catch block in the area of my code that seems to cause the issue doesnt ever catch the error. Instead it seems to be internal to discordJS and unavoidable.

/Users/mistersircode/Documents/GitHub/Arthur/node_modules/@discordjs/rest/dist/index.js:727
      throw new DiscordAPIError(data, "code" in data ? data.code : data.error, status, method, url, requestData);
            ^

its not an internal error you just try to send a message to a channel the bot doesnt have access to

SirCodeOP•2mo ago

Thats the issue... It works sometimes, and doesnt other times Its inconsistent Ill run the bot locally on my main rig and send the same identical command to the same channel and itll work but wait a week when its running on the main server, and boom it randomly dies after sending a command

treble/luna•2mo ago

does the bot have the ReadMessageHistory permission

SirCodeOP•2mo ago

its an admin

SirCodeOP•2mo ago

I use message.reply most of the time, such as this

SirCodeOP•2mo ago

Oh shit really? huh.. The more you know

treble/luna•2mo ago

but sounds like your bot doesnt have permission to read message history (or just viewchannel at all)

SirCodeOP•2mo ago

Bot's internal role

SirCodeOP•2mo ago

Bot is visible in the channel member list has full admin on his top level role anyways :cat_happycry:

treble/luna•2mo ago

and is the channel id 1201565597453009018

SirCodeOP•2mo ago

1201565597453009018 Copied directly yup My personal server. Its just the general channel lol it doesnt have any fancy permission requirements ironically the command doesnt error out in my private mod channel only the general channel :concernwilde: And the bot is an admin anyways so I dont get it lol

d.js docs•2mo ago

:method: BaseGuildVoiceChannel#permissionsFor() [email protected] Gets the overall set of permissions for a member or role in this channel, taking into account channel overwrites.

treble/luna•2mo ago

.toArray that for the bot log it and show the output

SirCodeOP•2mo ago

Does the bot have a quick reference to grab the guildmember? I havent worked on this in months lol, I dont remember immediately

treble/luna•2mo ago

<Guild>.members.me

SirCodeOP•2mo ago

gotcha

SirCodeOP•2mo ago

Definitely has readmessagehistory like, thats the same channel, and that command worked (its not a slash command, but an internal command... same type as the one that crashes it) Theyre doing the same thing So Im not sure why one would inconsistently crash it Anyways I got all the awaits and stuff in so hopefully that wont kill the bot again next time but rather just send the error to me

SirCodeOP•2mo ago

Yup haha I genuinely dont get it it literally sees the message, replied to me HOW is it failing :kekw:

SirCodeOP•2mo ago

Full stack

Error.txt

SirCodeOP•2mo ago

Code

SirCodeOP•2mo ago

Oh? perhaps I was mistaken one moment Ah Probably it Yeah I just appended admin to the bots internal role and that fixed it lol so goofy of me Well, fixed two birds with one stone... Hopefully no more death by permission error
