I am having trouble with my discord bot not knowing what channel a user is in. If I check member.voiceChannel it always returns undefined. Even if I am inside a voice channel.

Code:

let voiceChannel;

voiceChannel = msg.member.voiceChannel;

if (!voiceChannel) {   
    return msg.reply('Please join a voice channel before using this mand.');
}

console.log(voiceChannel); prints undefined regardless of me being in a Voice Channel or not.

Happened to me just now while using Discord.js v12.

Apparently the variable changed names between versions and now instead of:

message.member.voiceChannel

It is:

message.member.voice.channel

Changing the variable like this worked for me

This code probably will be your solution. Remember to modify it to make it suitable with your bot's codes, Don't just copy & paste it.

// Only try to join the sender's voice channel if they are in one themselves
if (message.member.voiceChannel) {
  message.member.voiceChannel.join()
    .then(connection => { // Connection is an instance of VoiceConnection
      message.reply('I have successfully connected to the channel!');
    })
    .catch(console.log);
} else {
  message.reply('You need to join a voice channel first!');
}

solution:

let voiceChannel = msg.member.voice.channel;
voiceChannel.join();
if (!voiceChannel) {   
    return msg.reply('Please join a voice channel before using this mand.');
}
