I created a discord bot yesterday from this post to export fields from embeds and it was working fine but it's not working today. The error I'm getting is TypeError: messages.array is not a function I tried uninstalling node and reinstalling but to no avail. I sent the file to a friend to run and it worked perfectly so it seems to be a problem with my machine. I also tried to run it on my windows server and I did not see any errors but the bot failed at exporting the fields (I don't intend on using my server to run the bot, just used for troubleshooting). Has anyone seen this error before and/or have a solution?

More detailed Error (One message):

Messages is a Collection, there is no array method for that object.

According to the documentation you can convert it to a regular array and then use the spread operator.

sum_messages.push(...Array.from(messages));

I changed “array” to “values” and it works perfectly now. Thanks to everyone that helped!
