"Announce" command giving errors in console

Question

I'm trying to write an announce command which when used sends an announcement to the announcements channel, but only if you have a certain role, that works, but it shows an error in my console. The error is TypeError: client.fetchGuild is not a function

if (await client.fetchGuild(message.guild.id).fetchMember(message.author.id).hasPermission("MENTION_EVERYONE") && message.content.startsWith(adminPrefix + 'announce')) {
  const trueMessage = message.content.substr(10)
  client.channels.get('545343689216491541').send('@everyone, ' + trueMessage)
}

How do I make it send no errors

P.s. I'm new to this, very new.

fetchGuild

is not a function. Use

client.guilds.get(id)

or

message.guild

as you already have the guild attached to the message object

I get the same error saying that `client.guilds.get(...)` is not a function – Foccs Apr 17 '19 at 13:23
Is client defined? – Saddy Apr 17 '19 at 13:24
Yes, `const client = new Discord.Client();` – Foccs Apr 17 '19 at 13:25
Within a `client.on('message', async message => {...})` – Foccs Apr 17 '19 at 13:28
Why are you fetching the guild instead of doing message.guild.fetchMember? – Saddy Apr 17 '19 at 13:30
I asked a friend to help and that's what he gave me, that didn't work and he didn't know what the problem was so I came here to ask – Foccs Apr 17 '19 at 13:31
Try doing message.guild instead of client.fetchGuild – Saddy Apr 17 '19 at 13:33
I must go, however, if this worked please mark this answer as correct by hitting the checkmark. Otherwise, say that it didn't and I can assist more later – Saddy Apr 17 '19 at 13:37
Now its saying `message.guild.fetchMember(...)` is not a funtion – Foccs Apr 17 '19 at 13:38
What version of Discord.js are you using? You can check by going to your package.json and searching for "discord.js":"version number". I am pretty sure that yours is outdated – Saddy Apr 17 '19 at 18:50
I would install master by https://stackoverflow.com/questions/17509669/how-to-install-an-npm-package-from-github-directly and https://github.com/discordjs/discord.js – Saddy Apr 17 '19 at 18:52
I have version 11.4.2 – Foccs Apr 18 '19 at 15:12

@BigChungus What's the result of running the command `node -v` in command prompt/terminal? – slothiful Apr 18 '19 at 23:12
You first suggest using `message.guild.fetchMember` but then suggest using master wich removes that function? – PLASMA chicken Apr 19 '19 at 05:51
@slothiful The version is 10.15.1 – Foccs Apr 19 '19 at 11:54
You can simply use `message.member.hasPermission(...)` and avoid fetching the guild and member altogether. However this doesn't solve your error. – slothiful Apr 19 '19 at 16:47

In order to verify if a member has a role, you'd better use this: if(message.member.roles.cache.some(role => role.name === 'role name')) then send the message inside the if statement
