Discord.js: Says there are no messages in a channel which does have messages

Here is my code

import Discord from 'discord.js'

const bot = new Discord.Client()
const channelID = 'the channel's id'

bot.login('my token')

bot.on('ready', async () => {
    const channel = (await bot.channels.fetch(channelID)) as Discord.TextChannel //im using typescript

    console.log(channel.messages.cache.array())
})

For some reason the array is empty, even though there are tons of messages in the channel. Any reason this might be? I know that it is getting the right channel, as I've tested that and it shows the right server and name. Thanks.

Use channel.messages.fetch().array() instead. Your array is most likely empty because the messages are not cached, optionally you can also cache the messages by doing channel.messages.fetch({}, true).array()
