Discord,js TypeError: member.guild.roles.find is not a function

Question

I keep on getting this error. I am making a welcomer bot for my discord server and I am trying to implement a role adding function when somebody joins and keep on getting that error.

  
  const channel = member.channels.cache.find(ch => ch.name === 'welcome');
  
  if (!channel) return;
  
  channel.send(`Welcome to the Server, ${member}`);
});

bot.on('guildMemberAdd', member => {
role = member.addRole(member.guild.roles.find("name","member"));
});```

Answer 1

According to Discord.js Documentation , I think you can implement with:

member.roles.add(member.guild.roles.cache.find(x => x.name == "scriptkiddie"), "Reason");

Something like this, as you can fetch Guild Roles with

member.guild.roles.cache

Answer 2

I believe roles is not the value you expect it to be. If it was an array, or any object with a find method, you wouldn't get that error. Log the value of roles to determine what data type it is, then change accordingly.

console.log(member.guild.roles)

Answer 3

In the latest version of discord.js you must do member.guild.roles.cache to get the collection.

Then do member.guild.roles.cache.find(....) with whatever you want to find :)

Hope this helps!
