how can i ignore all bot's permission errors in Discord.JS? I have already the checking bot's permissions functions, but this functions doesn't work on the channels permissions. You can answer how can i ignore all bot's permission errors (if it can) or how to check permissions even in the channels permissions. There is my error (its same as not checking permissions):

throw new DiscordAPIError(data, res.status, request);

DiscordAPIError: Missing Permissions

CodePudding user response：

You could solve this in multiple ways

1. Wrap it in a try/catch statement

This would look something like:

try{
    // Do this
} catch (error) {
    // Do that
}

2. You caould use a .catch() function

role.doSomething().catch((error) => {
    // Do that
})

If you wanted to see if the error code was due to a missing permission you could do:

const { Constants } = require("discord.js")

try{
    // Do this
} catch (error) {
    // Do that
    if(error.code === Constants.APIErrors.MISSING_PERMISSIONS){
    // Do this and that    
   }
}

You can check GuildMember#permissions to see if the client has a certain permission in a guild.

// Example

const botMember = message.guild.me;
if (!botMember.permissions.has('KICK_MEMBERS')) {
   // Code
} else {
   // Error Handling 
}

Additionally, you can use GuildMember#permissionsIn() to check the client's permissions in a certain channel

const botMember = message.guild.me;
if (!botMember.permissionsIn(CHANNEL).has('permission')) {
   // Code
} else {
   // Error Handling 
}

As shown in other answers, you can also handle the promise rejection using .catch() or catch () {}

Ensure you're awaiting any promise function when using async/await try/catch

// Example

try {
   await message.channel.send(...);
} catch (err) {
   // Handle err
}

message.channel.send(...)
   .then(msg => {})
   .catch(err => {
      // Handle err
   });

You could try exception handling, if you're just wanting the bot to proceed without crashing it.

I would recommend at least logging the error in console. For this example I'll use a try/catch block.

try{
    await doSomethingThatRequiresPermissions();
}catch(error){
    console.log("Error: " error " at doSomethingThatRequiresPermissions");
}
