Discord.js Commando Broadcast All command error

Question

I'm trying to make broadcast command send a message to all text channels in the guild. My current code looks like this:

const discord = require('discord.js');
const Commando = require('discord.js-commando');

module.exports = class broadcastCommand extends Commando.Command {
  constructor(client) {
    super(client, {
      name: 'broadcast',
      aliases: ['bcast', 'bc'],
      group: 'ebs',
      memberName: 'broadcast',
      userPermissions: ['MANAGE_MESSAGES'],
      description: 'Sends an emergency broadcast to the emergency brodcast channel',
      examples: ['bc ALERT! SUSPICIOUS ENTITY SPOTTED IN DELTA QUADRANT SECTOR B-3! ALL PERSONEL PROCEED WITH CAUTION!'],
      args: [
        {
          key: 'text',
          prompt: 'What would you like to broadcast?',
          type: 'string',
        },
      ],
    })
  };

  run(msg, { text }) {

    let channel = msg.guild.channels.forEarch(channel => {
      if (channel.type === 'text') channel.send(`${text}`); {
        tts: true
      };
    })
  }
};

My issue is that it gives me a error on using it. This is the error:

I'm trying to figure out how to implement this. It's needed for a SciFi LARP server that I'm helping a friend build.

I'm on Node 12.x and using Discord.JS Commando

I've also tried this:

const discord = require('discord.js');
const Commando = require('discord.js-commando');

module.exports = class broadcastCommand extends Commando.Command {
  constructor(client) {
    super(client, {
      name: 'broadcast',
      aliases: ['ebcast', 'bcast', 'bc', 'ebc'],
      group: 'ebs',
      memberName: 'broadcast',
      userPermissions: ['MANAGE_MESSAGES'],
      description: 'Sends an emergency broadcast to the emergency brodcast channel',
      examples: ['bc ALERT! SUSPICIOUS ENTITY SPOTTED IN DELTA QUADRANT SECTOR B-3! ALL PERSONEL PROCEED WITH CAUTION!'],
      args: [
        {
          key: 'text',
          prompt: 'What would you like to broadcast?',
          type: 'string',
        },
      ],
    })
  };

  run(msg, { text }) {

    const channels = msg.guild.channels.filter(c => c.guild && c.type === 'text');
    Promise.all(channels.map(c => c.send(`${text}`))); {
      tts: true
    };
  }
};

However it gave this error:

11|EBS     |     at WebSocketPacketManager.handle (/home/nimbi/ebs/node_modules/discord.js/src/client/websocket/packets/WebSocketPacketManager.js:108:65)

Another thing I've tried is this:

const discord = require('discord.js');
const Commando = require('discord.js-commando');

module.exports = class broadcastCommand extends Commando.Command {
  constructor(client) {
    super(client, {
      name: 'broadcast',
      aliases: ['ebcast', 'bcast', 'bc', 'ebc'],
      group: 'ebs',
      memberName: 'broadcast',
      userPermissions: ['MANAGE_MESSAGES'],
      description: 'Sends an emergency broadcast to the emergency brodcast channel',
      examples: ['bc ALERT! SUSPICIOUS ENTITY SPOTTED IN DELTA QUADRANT SECTOR B-3! ALL PERSONEL PROCEED WITH CAUTION!'],
      args: [
        {
          key: 'text',
          prompt: 'What would you like to broadcast?',
          type: 'string',
        },
      ],
    })
  };

  run(msg, { text }) {

    const channel_list = msg.guild.channels.find(c => c.id ===  ['759042556972630036', '759042556972630037', '759042556972630038', '759061573867405312', '759042556536553557', '759801988560322611', '759116305218666496'])

 
    return channel_list.send(`${ text }`); {
      tts: true
    };
  }
};

However that failed as well.

You're reasonably on the right track. The biggest issue is that you define the MessageOptions outside of the .send function.

Check the code example below and give it a try.

run(msg, { text}) {
  // Note if you're using Discord JS version 12.0.0 or higher, you need to use '.channels.cache'
  // If you're using Discord JS version 11.1.0 or lower, remove the '.cache'
  msg.guild.channels.cache
    .filter(channel => channel.type === 'text')
    .forEach((textChannel) => {
      textChannel.send(text, {tts: true});
    });
}
