Cannot read properties of undefined (reading 'execute)

Question

On my discord bot, I am making a "nickname" command. My code on the nickname.js:

const Discord = require("discord.js");
const client = new Discord.Client({ intents: ["GUILDS", "GUILD_MESSAGES"] });
module.exports = {
    name: 'nick',
    description: 'This command with change a users nickname.',
    execute(message, args){
        const memberToEdit = message.mentions.members.first();
        const newNickname = message.content.replace(`${prefix}changenick`, '').split(' ').pop().trim();
        memberToEdit.setNickname(newNickname);
        }
}

The error I get whilst trying to run the command:

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

Node.js v17.4.0

My main.js file is the same as the rest of the commands which work fine...

  if(command === 'nick'){
    client.commands.get('nickname').execute(message, args)
  }

I can't seem to understand why this command specifically just wont work.

As @PLASMA chicken said, the command you created is called nick, not nickname. So change nickname to nick where you call the execute function. For example, something like this:

if (command === 'nick') {
    client.commands.get('nick').execute(message, args);
}

Hoped this helped!
