Anonymous error message when hosting twitchbot locally but not on Glitch

[KyleStiers]

Hello, I followed a tutorial for writing a twitchbot using tmi.js and have the bot up and running - currently hosted on Glitch.com. I wanted to break away from the restrictions fo the site and host it locally. It appears it is due to an anonymous message being sent, despite the user details being supplies from an external .env file (to avoid putting the OAuth token in the JS file).

Actual behaviour: When keyword is using that bot should reply to I get: (node:6568) UnhandledPromiseRejectionWarning: Cannot send anonymous messages.

This occurs inside of the client.js _sendMessage function prototype (line 1196 of client.js). This error does not occur when hosted on Glitch.

Expected behaviour: Expected the same behavior as Glitch where it successfully retrieves user details from .env file and sends a message with credentials (not anonymously).

Error log:

(node:6568) UnhandledPromiseRejectionWarning: Cannot send anonymous messages.
