Discord.js 14 – Cant send an image to a specific channel when a member joins – Javascript

I was trying to send an image when a member joins to my server with @napi-rs/canvas in discord.js 14.

When the bot tries to send the message this error appears.

I was trying to make it with discordjs.guide

Cannot read properties of undefined (reading 'cache')

This is the code of my event:

const { Events, AttachmentBuilder} = require('discord.js');
const Canvas = require('@napi-rs/canvas');

module.exports = {
    name: Events.GuildMemberAdd,
    async execute(client) {
        const canvas = Canvas.createCanvas(1024, 500);
        const context = canvas.getContext('2d');

        const background = await Canvas.loadImage('./resources/canvas/images/welcome.png');


        context.drawImage(background, 0, 0, canvas.width, canvas.height);
        
        const attachment = new AttachmentBuilder(await canvas.encode('png'), { name: 'profile-image.png' });

console.log ('sending message')
        const channel = client.channels.cache.get('1099656104100769924');
        channel.send(({ files: [attachment] }));
            },
};

And this is my index.js file

const { Client, Collection, Events, GatewayIntentBits } = require('discord.js');
const fs = require('node:fs');
const path = require('node:path');

const { token, prefix } = require('./config.json');


const { channel } = require('node:diagnostics_channel');


const client = new Client({ intents: [GatewayIntentBits.Guilds, GatewayIntentBits.MessageContent, GatewayIntentBits.GuildMessages, GatewayIntentBits.GuildMembers]});



client.commands = new Collection();

const foldersPath = path.join(__dirname, 'commands');
const commandFolders = fs.readdirSync(foldersPath).filter(file => file.endsWith('.js'));

for (const folder of commandFolders) {
    const commandsPath = path.join(foldersPath, folder);
    const commandFiles = fs.readdirSync(commandsPath).filter(file => file.endsWith('.js'));
    for (const file of commandFiles) {
        const filePath = path.join(commandsPath, file);
        const command = require (filePath)

    if ('data' in command && 'execute' in command) {
        client.commands.set(command.data.name, command);
    } else {
        console.log(`[WARNING] The command on ${filePath} dont have  "data" or "execute" property.`);
    }
    }
}

const eventsPath = path.join(__dirname, 'events');
const eventFiles = fs.readdirSync(eventsPath).filter(file => file.endsWith('.js'));

for (const file of eventFiles) {
    const filePath = path.join(eventsPath, file);
    const event = require(filePath);
    if (event.once) {
        client.once(event.name, (...args) => event.execute(...args));
    } else {
        client.on(event.name, (...args) => event.execute(...args));
    }
}

client.login(token);

I tried many solutions and nothing worked I am using the latest version of discord.js v14.

    Since you seem to seem to need the client in the execute function as the first parameter, you need to pass the client to the function.

    you can do so by replacing both (...args) => event.execute(...args) with (...args) => event.execute(client, ...args)

    Doing so will send the client as the first argument and all the event’s additional parameters to the command’s execute function.

    Make sure that you are properly adapting all the other command’s execute functions as they will be impacted by that change.

    The GuildMemberAdd event takes a single parameter, the member that has joined a guild. That means client in async execute(client) is not a client, but a GuildMember.

    You can change it to:

    async execute(member) {
  // ...
}

    As GuildMembers have a client property, you can simply use:

    const channel = member.client.channels.cache.get('1099656104100769924');
