I've just started learning discord.js 3 days ago, and I'm coming across this error. I'm trying to make it so if the user says !faction it will ask them to say their faction name, then once they've sent their faction name, it asks them for more information about their faction. Here's my code:
factionEmbed = {
title : "Request to create faction.",
color : embedColor,
description : "Please reply with your faction name.",
author : {
name : message.author.username,
icon_url : message.author.displayAvatarURL()
}
}
message.channel.send({embeds : [factionEmbed]});
let filter = m => m.author.id === message.author.id
message.channel.send({embeds : []}).then(() => {
message.channel.awaitMessages(filter, {
max: 1,
time: 30000,
errors: ['time']
})
.then(message => {
const nameOfFaction = message.first();
message.channel.send("Please provide us with info about your faction.")
message.channel.awaitMessages(filter, {
max: 1,
time: 30000,
errors: ['time']
})
.then(message => {
const factionInfo = message.content;
message.channel.send("Submitted for review.")
})
})
.catch(collected => {
message.channel.send('Timeout');
});
})
}```
Edit: Error Message:

It looks like the error is resulting from you trying to send an empty message, or, more specifically, a message with an empty array of embeds:
message.channel.send({embeds : []}).then(() => {
...
})
You'll need to either add some content/embeds to that method call, or remove it altogether. It seems to me that you may have intended to include the function passed as a parameter to then in a call to then for the first message you sent.
