MessageOptions「split」not working

[waki285]

I used the split option because I wanted to post a sentence longer than 2000 characters. But it doesn't work due to an error.

Code:

const text = "(Sentence of 2000 characters or more)"

client.on('message', async message => {
  if (message.content === "!sentence") {
    message.channel.send(text, { split: true});
  }
});

Error:

DiscordAPIError:Cannot send an empty message

Further details:

• discord.js version:12.5.3
• Node.js version:12.2.1

Relevant client options:

• gateway intents: all
• other: none

The split option has been removed from v13, and v12 won't be getting any patches.

What do this function ?

Please, see #5918 for the change in v13. Since the option's not longer there, it's fixed in master.

As for v12, you need to make sure there are new-lines in your text so it can be split. Please use strings or an array of strings so the utility can split the content correctly.
