Using channel.send on a channel where the bot has not the permission to post makes the whole program crash

[gustaveWPM]

Which package is this bug report for?

discord.js

Issue description

Invite a bot on a server and hide a text channel to it.
You should try to make the bot post on this channel. With the current behavior, it should crash, even if the call is protected by a try/catch block.

Code sample

Just write in a callback:

try {
  const channel = client.channels.cache.get(CHANNEL_ID);

  if (channel === undefined) return;
  if (channel.type === ChannelType.GuildText) channel.send('hello world');
} catch {}

send is an async method, and you're not handling promise rejection. You need either to use the .catch() method on the returned Promise, or use an await expression.

Oh, thank you!
It will probably solve my issue.
I'll give it a look today. Sorry, some cognitive overload... lulz.

Indeed, it was my fault. Sorry!
