Cannot get parent or parentID of a channel.

[notlouis]

Please describe the problem you are having in as much detail as possible:
Cannot seem to get the parent or parentID of a channel with a parent.

Include a reproducible code sample here, if possible:

console.log(message.channel.parent) //returns null
console.log(message.channel.parentID) //returns null

Further details:

• discord.js version: 12.4.0
• Node.js version: 14.14.0
• Operating system: Lubuntu
• Priority this issue should have – please be realistic and elaborate if possible:
  Medium - High, lots of commands rely on categories and being unable to get them can be a big issue.

Relevant client options:

• partials: none

• gateway intents: none

• other: none

• I have also tested the issue on latest master, commit hash:

if there is no category, this will obviously happen i believe. you should make a catch to prevent errors.

you could also try fetching the channel

CR on 12.4.0, though discord seems to be having hiccups at the moment I do not believe that to be related

There is a category, i've tried it on every channel in the server and with the same result. I'll try fetching shortly.

Hello,

I don't know if Discord is having issues at the moment but I am also unable to retrieve the parent category of my channels.

The parent of the 'debug' voice channel is null but it shouldn't be.

That was fixed with 12.4.1, you may want to update your discord.js version.
