Discord.js: TypeError: Cannot read properties of undefined (reading 'has')

Question

I am creating a Discord music bot using discord.js version 13.6.0 and discord-player but I keep getting this error, here is my code:

const { MessageEmbed, Permissions } = require('discord.js');

module.exports = {
    name: 'stop',
    aliases: [],
    utilisation: '{prefix}stop',
    voiceChannel: true,

    execute(client, message) {
        if (message.member.id.permissions.has(Permissions.FLAGS.KICK_MEMBERS)) {
            // Stop the player
        };
    },
};

The error I get when running that command:

if(message.member.id.permissions.has(Permissions.FLAGS.KICK_MEBERS)){

TypeError: Cannot read properties of undefined (reading 'has')

I don't know why this is happening, please could someone help me?

Answer 1

You are trying to read permissions from the member.id .

If you take a look at the DiscordJS Documentation for member , and look at the available properties, it has both id and permissions .

So, changing your line to message.member.permissions.has(Permissions.FLAGS.KICK_MEBERS) instead of message.member.id.permissions.has(Permissions.FLAGS.KICK_MEBERS) should fix this for you.
