Forward message function not working

[mainecoonnetwork]

Which package has the bugs?

The core library

Issue description

I’m trying to forward a message from source channel ID and send it to a target channel ID
The variables are all declared, but the forward function is just not working, I’m not sure why. It’s supposed to only need the target channel ID as a parameter. If anyone has an example code they can send, please do because I’m very confused.

This is the error:
Error forwarding message: cannot send an empty message

but when i logged the source message’s content, it did have content, and was also a regular text message.

This is the forward function on the documentation page: https://discordjs-self-v13.netlify.app/#/docs/docs/main/class/Message?scrollTo=forward. I hope that I submitted this right

Code sample

const Discord = require('discord.js-selfbot-v13');
const Authorization = process.env.Authorization;

const SOURCE_CHANNEL_ID = '00000';
const MESSAGE_ID = '00000';
const TARGET_CHANNEL_ID = '00000';
// IDs I used are blanked by 0s in this discussion 

const client = new Discord.Client({ checkUpdate: false });

client.once('ready', async () => {
  try {
    // Fetch the source channel
    const sourceChannel = await client.channels.fetch(SOURCE_CHANNEL_ID);
    if (!sourceChannel) {
      console.error('Source channel not found.');
      return;
    }

    // Fetch the specific message
    const message = await sourceChannel.messages.fetch(MESSAGE_ID);
    if (!message) {
      console.error('Message not found.');
      return;
    }

    // Fetch the target channel
    const targetChannel = await client.channels.fetch(TARGET_CHANNEL_ID);
    if (!targetChannel) {
      console.error('Target channel not found.');
      return;
    }

    // Forward the message to the target channel
    const forwardedMessage = await message.forward(targetChannel);
    console.log(`Message successfully forwarded`);
  } catch (error) {
    console.error('Error forwarding message:', error.message);
  }
});

client.login(Authorization);
