client permissions failing to resolve in channel

I just upgraded from: DiscordJS 14.8.0 > 14.18.0 Sapphire 4.2.2 > 5.3.3 I am running into an issue where any command that has requiredClientPermissions specified simply outputs:

I was unable to resolve my permissions in the chat input command invocation channel.

We ran into this issue a long ways back here: https://discord.com/channels/737141877803057244/1083064722355650641/1083169340259581973 which turned out to be a bug due to the age of our application. I am thinking this might be a regression in 5.x.x . Sample command constructor with issue:

    constructor(context, options) {
        super(context, {
            ...options,
            requiredClientPermissions: [PermissionFlagsBits.EmbedLinks],
        });
    }

    constructor(context, options) {
        super(context, {
            ...options,
            requiredClientPermissions: [PermissionFlagsBits.EmbedLinks],
        });
    }

Have you also checked all your other dependencies? In particular other sapphire dependencies and discord-api-types? I can guarantee you that EmbedLinks through requiredClientPermissions is not bugged because @Dragonite uses that as well

Everything should be up-to-date, I went scorched earth on it. Deleted my lock and node_modules ran npm-check-updates and forced all to latest and re-ran npm i Digging deeper in the ClientPermissions.cjs

  async getPermissionsForChannel(channel, messageOrInteraction) {
    let permissions = this.dmChannelPermissions;
    if (messageOrInteraction.inGuild() && !channel.isDMBased()) {
      if (utilities.isNullish(messageOrInteraction.applicationId)) {
        const me = await messageOrInteraction.guild?.members.fetchMe();
        if (me) {
          permissions = channel.permissionsFor(me);
        }
      } else {
        permissions = channel.permissionsFor(messageOrInteraction.applicationId);
      }
    }
    return permissions;
  }

  async getPermissionsForChannel(channel, messageOrInteraction) {
    let permissions = this.dmChannelPermissions;
    if (messageOrInteraction.inGuild() && !channel.isDMBased()) {
      if (utilities.isNullish(messageOrInteraction.applicationId)) {
        const me = await messageOrInteraction.guild?.members.fetchMe();
        if (me) {
          permissions = channel.permissionsFor(me);
        }
      } else {
        permissions = channel.permissionsFor(messageOrInteraction.applicationId);
      }
    }
    return permissions;
  }

        permissions = channel.permissionsFor(messageOrInteraction.applicationId);

        permissions = channel.permissionsFor(messageOrInteraction.applicationId);

is what is evaluating, and its returning null

Assuming this is a regression in https://github.com/sapphiredev/framework/pull/616/files I patched in

        if (utilities.isNullish(permissions)) {
          const me = await messageOrInteraction.guild?.members.fetchMe();
          if (me) {
            permissions = channel.permissionsFor(me);
          }
        }

        if (utilities.isNullish(permissions)) {
          const me = await messageOrInteraction.guild?.members.fetchMe();
          if (me) {
            permissions = channel.permissionsFor(me);
          }
        }

Resulting in:

  async getPermissionsForChannel(channel, messageOrInteraction) {
    let permissions = this.dmChannelPermissions;
    if (messageOrInteraction.inGuild() && !channel.isDMBased()) {
      if (utilities.isNullish(messageOrInteraction.applicationId)) {
        const me = await messageOrInteraction.guild?.members.fetchMe();
        if (me) {
          permissions = channel.permissionsFor(me);
        }
      } else {
        permissions = channel.permissionsFor(messageOrInteraction.applicationId);
        if (utilities.isNullish(permissions)) {
          const me = await messageOrInteraction.guild?.members.fetchMe();
          if (me) {
            permissions = channel.permissionsFor(me);
          }
        }
      }
    }
    return permissions;
  }

  async getPermissionsForChannel(channel, messageOrInteraction) {
    let permissions = this.dmChannelPermissions;
    if (messageOrInteraction.inGuild() && !channel.isDMBased()) {
      if (utilities.isNullish(messageOrInteraction.applicationId)) {
        const me = await messageOrInteraction.guild?.members.fetchMe();
        if (me) {
          permissions = channel.permissionsFor(me);
        }
      } else {
        permissions = channel.permissionsFor(messageOrInteraction.applicationId);
        if (utilities.isNullish(permissions)) {
          const me = await messageOrInteraction.guild?.members.fetchMe();
          if (me) {
            permissions = channel.permissionsFor(me);
          }
        }
      }
    }
    return permissions;
  }

and no more error.

Favna•2d ago

hm well if you can form it into a pr then submit it I'd say that said, that PR was already in 4.2.1

DeadlystrikeOP•2d ago

I'll get that started now. Yeah, this was an issue I ran into when switching from our custom commando-fork to saphire which was on 4.2.0 at the time, Vlad snipped that bug so fast and issued 4.2.1 which has served us well for almost 2 years. It looks like the fix got removed a bit over a year later during some refactoring and updates.
