Discord.js v12+ TypeError: Cannot read property 'channel' of undefined

Question

So I'm overwriting permissions for a ticket feature and its giving me an error

Cannot read property 'channel' of undefined

with this line of code:

    message.guild.channels.create(`create-${message.author.id}`, { type: 'text' }).then(c => {
    c.message.channel.overwritePermissions([
      {
        id: "@everyone",
        deny: ['SEND_MESSAGES', 'READ_MESSAGES'],
      }
    ]);
    c.message.channel.overwritePermissions([
      {
        id: message.author.id,
        allow: ['SEND_MESSAGES', 'READ_MESSAGES'],
      },
    ]);

it has something to do with the second line and the 8th line (AKA)

c.message.channel.overwritePermissions([

X2

If I remove message from this property

c.message.channel.overwritePermissions([

I get this error

TypeError: Cannot read property 'overwritePermissions' of undefined

Answer 1

Channel has no message property, nor another channel property.

message.guild.channels.create(`create-${message.author.id}`, {
    type: 'text', permissionOverwrites: [
        {
            id: '@everyone',
            deny: ['SEND_MESSAGES', 'VIEW_CHANNEL']
        },
        {
            id: message.author.id,
            allow: ['SEND_MESSAGES', 'VIEW_CHANNEL']
        }
    ]
})

Note that there is no permission called READ_MESSAGES. Instead, use VIEW_CHANNEL.
