[Error] TypeError: Cannot read properties of undefined (reading 'command')

When I compile and pnpm start it error slashCommands.push(command.command); at build/handlers/Command.js:17:36

[Error] error TS2339: Property 'send' does not exist on type 'TextChannel | DMChannel | PartialDMChannel | NewsChannel | StageChannel | PublicThreadChannel | PrivateThreadChannel | VoiceChannel'.

Building the typescript project has some type errors with the send command

21             const deletedMessages = await interaction.channel?.bulkDelete(msgs,true)

I'm not super well versed in typescript but this was my workaround:

const channel: TextChannel = interaction.channel as TextChannel;
    await channel?.send({
      content: `x`,
      files: [url],
    });
    return interaction.editReply('Successful');
  },
