Discord.js v13 Sending a File Attachment via URL

Discord.js released v13 and I'm trying to update my little homebrew discordbot.

I've come across an issue where I can no longer send an attached file (png) via a web URL.

Discord.js v12

var testchart = ` message.channel.send("Last updated " + updatedAt.fromNow(), { files: [{ attachment: testchart, name: 'file.png' }] 

No errors to the console are made (other than a depreciation warning):

And the bot does not return an image:

I've tried:

message.channel.send("Last updated " + updatedAt.fromNow(), { files: [testchart] 

and

message.channel.send("Last updated " + updatedAt.fromNow(), { files: Array.from(testchart) }); 

And finally

message.channel.send({ files: [testchart], content: `Last updated ${updatedAt.fromNow()}` }); 

Which gives me this AWFUL output:

Thanks for the help!

Only other issue I was able to find on the matter: Discord.js V13 sending message attachments

Found the issue, it has to do with the testchart2.php part of the URL ()

Was able to get it sent by using:

message.channel.send({ files: [{ attachment: testchart, name: 'chart.png' }], content:`Last updated ${updatedAt.fromNow()}`, }); 

Basically, just take the content part of the v12 and move it to it's own area. Worked like a charm.

Your first attempt was close, but not exactly correct. You just have to merge those together (sending messages only takes 1 argument now) and you will get a png file (because you specified the file name), along with the content:

var testchart = ` message.channel.send({ content: "Last updated " + updatedAt.fromNow(), files: [{ attachment: testchart, name: 'file.png' }] })
