Discord.js: roles.add inside voiceStateUpdate event returns undefined

[cristpz]

Code:

bot.on("voiceStateUpdate", (oldState, newState) => {

  let role = newState.guild.roles.cache.find(role => role.id === "730938567337181266");

  if (newState.channelID === null) {
    newState.roles.remove(role);
  } else {
    newState.roles.add(role);
  }

});

Output:

 newState.roles.add(role);
                 ^

It appears that fetching the role for this does work, but for some reason I can't add or remove any role inside the event, I can do so in other events though, such as on message and on guildMemberAdd. I can include the code for the two other events if that's needed.

I also tried newState.guild.member(newState) but I was very doubtful about it, rightly so, because it gave me a TypeError there.

A VoiceState instance does not have any roles. GuildMember does.

So how did it work in v11.6.4?

So how did it work in v11.6.4?

Client#voiceStateUpdate emitted GuildMember instances in v11. In v12, it emits VoiceStates.

I will again direct you to the Discord server, please don't continue seeking support here.
