Change your node_modules/venom-bot/dist/lib/wapi/wapi.js like this comment: https://github.com/orkestral/venom/issues/2482#issuecomment-1731692614 search in file by 0.4.613 and change: return await n.processAttachments("0.4.613"===Debug.VERSION?t:t.map((e=>({file:e}))),e,1),n} to: return await n.processAttachments("0.4.613"===Debug.VERSION?t:t.map((e=>({file:e}))),e,e),n} This solution running in venon-bot 5.0.21

@Oladapodaniel It’s not the best way, but I do it to fix it

// eslint-disable-next-line @typescript-eslint/no-var-requires
const { readFileSync, writeFileSync } = require('fs');

const path = './node_modules/venom-bot/dist/lib/wapi/wapi.js'

let toFix = readFileSync(path);


toFix = toFix.toString().replace(
	`return await n.processAttachments("0.4.613"===Debug.VERSION?t:t.map((e=>({file:e}))),e,1),n}`,
	`return await n.processAttachments("0.4.613"===Debug.VERSION?t:t.map((e=>({file:e}))),e,e),n}`
)


writeFileSync(path, toFix)

and before start project, I run that script.

{
......
"prestart": "node fix-venom.js"
}
