I am creating a discord bot and this happened

Question

This is the code I have a problem with on bot.js:

client.on('message', msg => {
  if (msg.content === 'r!play luigi nutting') {
   const channel = Yee.channels.cache.get('general');
   channel.send('r!skip');
  }
});

Command prompt says this:

ReferenceError: general is not defined
at Client.<anonymous> (C:\Discord Bot1\bot.js:59:20)
at Client.emit (events.js:327:22)
at MessageCreateHandler.handle (C:\Discord 
Bot1\node_modules\discord.js\src\client\websocket\packets\handlers\MessageCreate.js:9:34)
at WebSocketPacketManager.handle (C:\Discord

at Receiver.receiverOnMessage (C:\Discord Bot1\node_modules\ws\lib\websocket.js:789:20)
at Receiver.emit (events.js:315:20)``

(for context I created this bot because someone was spamming something in rythym but I didn't want to ban them)

Alright so the error is here: const channel = Yee.channels.cache.get('general');

You need to specify the client, in this case it's already "client" as you defined it at the top: const client = new Discord.Client(); . So to get a channel with an id: client.channels.get("ChannelID"); And to get a channel with a name:

client.channels.find(channel => channel.name == "General");
