Property 'forceSet' does not exist on type 'Collection<string, Channel>'

[ySnoopyDogy]

When using typescipt, then forceSet function from cache manager doesn't exists

Property 'forceSet' does not exist on type 'Collection<string, Channel>'

This error is from

this.client.channels.cache.forceSet(interaction.channelId, channel);

I am trying to migrate from djs to djs-light, and for permissions i am using the first example in README.md from here, and that error appears inside of that if

Strange, client.channels.cache should be a LimitedCollection, not a Collection. But anyway i added a typing for it too, can you test if it works? npm i timotejroiko/discord.js-light#v4

[ySnoopyDogy]

Hey, apologies for the delay. It works for the forceSet, but with that i cannot use Collection for value, like create a collection. For me its not a problem, i can use a map instead, but i don't know for others. But yeah, the main problem its fixed. Thanks

[timotejroiko]

why cant you use it? what happens if you try to use it?

[ySnoopyDogy]

If i import both, LimitedCollection and Collection from discord.js-light it says 'Collection' only refers to a type, but is being used as a value here.. The code is

import { Collection, LimitedCollection } from 'discord.js-light';
const collection = new Collection(); //'Collection' only refers to a type, but is being used as a value here 
const limited = new LimitedCollection(); //'LimitedCollection' only refers to a type, but is being used as a value here

[timotejroiko]

tried something new, can you test the v4 branch again?

[ySnoopyDogy]

Yes, it works! forceSet exists, and limitedCollection and Collection are now classes too. Thanks.

By the way, i saw that the readme shows people that uses discord.js-light, i don't know what i need to do to add it here, but if its available, i would like to add my bot in here. Thanks again for the attention

[timotejroiko]

cool, i'll update it on npm soon, and sure, just make a PR for it

[ySnoopyDogy]

Oky Doki, it just to create a PR to change the readme with my information, right?

[ySnoopyDogy]

Hey, sorry for it, but i just found out that the forceSet problem still exists. I can use forceSet in custom Collection and LimitedCollections, but in collections from discord.js (client.channels in my case) the forceSet function does not exists

EDIT

Actually, i updated to the timotejroiko/discord.js-light#v4 again, and the problem is back for creating Collections, it shows that its a type. forceSet exists in client.channels

[timotejroiko]

made another update, try again

[ySnoopyDogy]

I can create collections, and they have forceSet property, but the collection from djs (client.channels) does not have forceSet

[timotejroiko]

sigh... i hate typescript....

what about now?

[ySnoopyDogy]

I think we'll still have to fight for it

[timotejroiko]

hmm, i dont believe its gonna be possible without modifying discordjs/collection...

[timotejroiko]

i've reverted the typings a few steps back, and i believe the solution is to do this instead:

(client.channels.cache as Discord.Collection<Discord.Snowflake, Discord.Channel>).forceSet()

The issue is that internally discord.js does not use Discord.Collection but they directly import discordjs/collection, so i dont think we can override that from this lib.

[ySnoopyDogy]

No problem, i will update my code now. Thank you for all the support

 if (!this.client.channels.cache.has(interaction.channelId)) {
      const channel = await this.client.channels.fetch(interaction.channelId).catch(() => null);
      if (channel) {
        (this.client.channels.cache as Collection<string, ThreadChannel | GuildChannel>).forceSet(
          interaction.channelId,
          channel,
        );
        (
          interaction.guild?.channels.cache as Collection<string, ThreadChannel | GuildChannel>
        ).forceSet(interaction.channelId, channel);
      }
    }

This is my final code taking from reference the first example in your readme, it works pretty well
