Get permissions from bot user in Discord.js v14?-CodePudding

I want to check my bot's permissions before it executes a command. I had it working perfectly before:

// Discord.js v13
if (interaction.guild.me.permissions.has(Permissions.FLAGS.MANAGE_MESSAGES)) {
    interaction.reply("I can manage messages!");
}

However Guild.me is no longer available in Discord.js v14 and the Official Guide suggests instead to use GuildMemberManager.me

I tried to use the new object:

const { GuildMemberManager, PermissionsBitField } = require('discord.js');

// Attempt #1

if (GuildMemberManager.me.permissions.has(PermissionsBitField.Flags.ManageMessages)) {
    interaction.reply("I can manage messages!");
}

// Attempt #2

if (interaction.guild.GuildMemberManager.me.permissions.has(PermissionsBitField.Flags.ManageMessages)) {
    interaction.reply("I can manage messages!");
}

// Attempt #3

if (GuildMemberManager.me.permissionsIn(channel).has(PermissionsBitField.Flags.ManageMessages)) {
    interaction.reply("I can manage messages!");
}

However, all these attempts return the same error:

TypeError: Cannot read properties of undefined (reading 'me');

// Attempt #3
TypeError: Cannot read properties of undefined (reading 'permissionsIn');

I do not understand how the new GuildMemberManager.me object works. Any further explanation or solution to my problem will be greatly appreciated!

In the discord.js docs, the class of the object is GuildMemberManager, but the object is actually just referenced with the keyword members. Here's a link to the object in the docs. This worked for me in v14:

interaction.guild.members.me.permissions.has(PermissionsBitField.Flags.ManageMessages)
