Mysterious modal error that's got everyone puzzled: Cannot properly serialize component type:

I am using [email protected]. I copied this example from discordjs.guide, and simplified it a bit, though the error happens regardless:

const modal = new ModalBuilder()
        .setCustomId('myModal')
        .setTitle('My Modal');

    const favoriteColorInput = new TextInputBuilder()
        .setCustomId('favoriteColorInput')
        .setLabel("What's your favorite color?")
        .setStyle(TextInputStyle.Short);
        
    const firstActionRow = new ActionRowBuilder().addComponents(favoriteColorInput);
    modal.addComponents(firstActionRow);

    await interaction.showModal(modal);

const modal = new ModalBuilder()
        .setCustomId('myModal')
        .setTitle('My Modal');

    const favoriteColorInput = new TextInputBuilder()
        .setCustomId('favoriteColorInput')
        .setLabel("What's your favorite color?")
        .setStyle(TextInputStyle.Short);
        
    const firstActionRow = new ActionRowBuilder().addComponents(favoriteColorInput);
    modal.addComponents(firstActionRow);

    await interaction.showModal(modal);

With this, I get the error Error: Cannot properly serialize component type: undefined, it happens on line modal.addComponents(firstActionRow); This is weird! When I log firstActionRow.components, the component is there fine and dandy, and it's type is 4. I asked in #djs-help-v14, everyone is just as confused as I am! Weird. Does anyone know what's going on?
