Discord.js changing channel permissions does nothing

I recently started working on a discord.js bot, and I came across a very weird issue, that I couldn't fix, or figure out what to do. I wanted to create a voice channel with custom permissions, so I used this function (or I don't know what its called I'm new to js):

message.guild.channels.create(`Room of ${message.member.displayName}`, {type: 'voice'}, {
    permissionOverwrites: [{ 
        id: message.guild.defaultRole, 
        allow: 'VIEW_CHANNEL'
    }]
});

I noticed this: If I place the {type: 'voice'} before the permissionOverwrites, it works normally (except the permissions don't work at all), but if I place it after the permissionOverwrites the permissions work normally, but the type won't work.

I get no console error, or anything.

As per the discord.js docs for channel creation, the method create() takes only two arguments: The channel name and the channel options.
Which means you have to put all your options into a single object:

message.guild.channels.create(`Room of ${message.member.displayName}`, {
    type: 'voice',
    permissionOverwrites: [{ 
        id: message.guild.defaultRole, 
        allow: 'VIEW_CHANNEL'
    }]
});

So the reason for the behavior you encountered is simply that your third argument for create() is completely ignored, no matter what you put there.
