Welcome to the Glitch Forums!

Can you give us some more context for this code, that snippet isn’t big enough to tell much of anything…

#3

What kind of context? Because im also not sure where the error is because it is not showing in the code itself.

#4

Whatever part of your code includes that catch statement.

#5 
///////////////////CONNECT TO VC
bot.on("message", message => {
  const args = message.content
    .slice(config.prefix.length)
    .trim()
    .split(/ +/g);
  const command = args.shift().toLowerCase();
  if (command === "join") {
    // Note that this will only work if the message was sent in a guild
    // and the author is actually in a voice channel.
    // You might want to check for all that stuff first
    const channel = message.member.voiceChannel;

    channel
      .join()
      .then(connection => console.log("Connected!"))
      .catch(console.error);
  }
});

and this one

///////////////////PRUNE
else if (command === “prune”) {

  const amount = parseInt(args[0]) + 1;

  if (isNaN(amount)) {
    return message.reply("that doesn't seem to be a valid number.");
  } else if (amount <= 1 || amount > 100) {
    return message.reply("you need to input a number between 1 and 99.");
  }

  message.channel.bulkDelete(amount, true).catch(err => {
    console.error(err);
    message.channel.send(
      "there was an error trying to prune messages in this channel!"
    );
  });
}

i dont think its in this two command tho

these are the only commands that has catch in it

I dont know of this is still a problem but you should be able to fix this with updateing your node version to 12 or higher.
