I want to make One embed turn into The second embed when someone reacts with the thumbs up, but ever attempt at this has failed…

    const Discord = require("discord.js");

module.exports = {
  name: "start",
  description: "this is a shop command!",
  execute(message, args) {
    const embed = new Discord.MessageEmbed()
      .setTitle("The Diner | Start")
      .setColor("#12e080")
      .setThumbnail(
        "https://cdn.glitch.com/494de277-06ea-4e76-95eb-1d9d87a0e5a4%2Funknown%20(2).png?v=1598630444256"
      )
      .addFields({
        name: `${message.author.username}, **ARE YOU SURE?**`,
        value: `${message.author.username}, You can only use this command once, and once you use it you will start your own restaurant that **you and you alone will have to manage!**`,
        inline: true
      })
      .setFooter("Start your restaurant today!");
    message.channel.send(embed).then(sentEmbed => {
      sentEmbed.react("👍");
      sentEmbed.react("👎");
      const filter = (reaction, user) => {
        return (
          ["👍", "👎"].includes(reaction.emoji.name) &&
          user.id === message.author.id
        );
      };

      sentEmbed
        .awaitReactions(filter, { max: 1, time: 30000, errors: ["time"] })
        .then(collected => {
          const reaction = collected.first();

          if (reaction.emoji.name === "👍") {

            const embed2 = new Discord.MessageEmbed()
             //embed stuff
              message.edit(embed2).then(sentEmbed => {

                })
                .catch(collected => {
                  message.reply(
                    `Are you listening? You didn't answer the question!`
                  );
                });
            });
          }
        })
        .catch(collected => {
          message.reply(`Are you listening? You didn't answer the question!`);
        });
    });
  }
};

Any idea how to fix this?

First could you edit your sent code a little? We don’t need the entire contents of mechanics of embed2.

I think your problem would be in
message.edit(embed2)
What do the discord.js docs say about using message.edit? You might be missing some parameters.

3

To edit the content of an embed you need to pass a new MessageEmbed structure or embed object to the messages .edit() method.

const exampleEmbed = new Discord.MessageEmbed()
	.setTitle('Some title')
	.setDescription('Description after the edit');

message.edit(exampleEmbed)

This is all it says.

Edit for anyone coming to this post in the future: use this answer.

old answer

You’re trying to edit the message object which is defined as the received discord message, not one your client has sent.

You should change

 message.channel.send(embed).then(sentEmbed => {
//rest of your code

to

const msg = message.channel.send(embed).then(sentEmbed => {
//rest of your code

You would then need to change

message.edit(embed2).then(sentEmbed => {
//rest of your code

to

msg.edit(embed2).then(sentEmbed => {
//rest of your code

Note that this is just what I’ve seen off a quick glance at the code. It may not be 100% accurate.

So when i did that it gave the
message.reply(`Are you listening? You didn't answer the question!`);
Part

Edit: It sent that message

Lol scrap the above answer I wrote, I just tested the command and realized you can replace

message.edit(embed2).then(sentEmbed => {

with

sentEmbed.edit(embed2).then(sentEmbed => {
/* I'd recommend renaming the second sentEmbed variable to something else btw. */

and it should :tm: work.
