Discord.js slash commands with embeds

I am trying to build an embed with slash commands. This is an error I am getting and for the life of me I cannot figure out what is wrong. I know this embed itself works as I had it in the old bot and it ran fine, however as soon as I update the command handler it has stopped working. It seems that it is unable to find the embeds description yet I have one set so I am really unsure why it is not reading it

node_modules\discord.js\src\rest\RequestHandler.js:350
      throw new DiscordAPIError(data, res.status, request);
            ^

        embeds: [

        ],
        username: undefined,

        flags: undefined,
        files: []
      }
    },
    files: []
  }
}

And this is the code in question

const { Client, MessageEmbed } = require("discord.js");
const config = require("../settings/config")

module.exports = {
    slash: true,
    testOnly: true,
    description: "Gives latency of the bot",
    /**
     * 
     * @param {CommandInteration} interaction 
     * @param {Client} client
     */
    callback: async (interaction, client) => {
        const Build = new MessageEmbed()
        .setColor(config.settings.EmbedColour)
        .setTitle('**Ping / API Latency:**')
        .setDescription(`🏓 ${Date.now() - interaction.createdTimestamp}ms.`)
        .setFooter({ text: `${interaction.guild.name} | Made By WildFyr#0008`, iconURL: interaction.guild.iconURL({ dynamic: true }) })

        return ({embeds: [Build]})
    }
}

Does anyone know why I am getting this error and how to fix it? Here is the Config.js, I removed all tokens and IDs and what not

const config =  {
    settings: {
        Token: 'BOT TOKEN', //Visit https://discord.com/developers/applications and get your bots token
        LicenseKey: 'LICENSE KEY', //Visist https://license.wildfyr.net to get your keys
        BotApplicationID: 'BOT USER ID', //Bot's user ID
        BotOwnerID: 'USER ID', //Your user ID, used for Owner only commands
        GuildID: 'GUILD ID', //The ID for your Server
        EmbedColour: '#fc6a03', //The colour you want the side bar of the embeds to be
        botActivity: {
            status: 'online', //Online, idle, dnd, offline
            activity: {
                name: 'Whatever you want', //The name of the game the bot is playing
                type: 'PLAYING', //Playing, Watching, Streaming, Listening
            }
        },
        deleteCommands: 'TRUE', //Deletes the command after a set ammount of time, reduces chat spam
        ShowTriggeredEvents: 'FALSE', //Used for De-Bugging, prints in console everytime someone runs a command
    }
}

module.exports = config;

@新Acesyyy This is what I get after changing that.

commands\ping.js:15
        .setColor(config.settings[0].EmbedColour)
                                     ^

DiscordAPIError: Invalid Form Body

The error is indicating that the embeds[0].description field is required, but it's not provided in your code. Looking at your callback function, you are creating a MessageEmbed but not setting the description field. You need to set the description field for the embed:

const Build = new MessageEmbed()
    .setColor(config.settings.EmbedColour)
    .setTitle('**Ping / API Latency:**')
    .setDescription(`🏓 ${Date.now() - interaction.createdTimestamp}ms.`)
    .setFooter(`${interaction.guild.name} | Made By WildFyr#0008`, interaction.guild.iconURL({ dynamic: true }));

Make sure to set the description field in the MessageEmbed instance.

TypeError: Cannot read properties of undefined (reading 'EmbedColour')

The error indicates that config.settings is undefined or not an object. This is likely due to a misconfiguration in your config.js. Make sure that config.settings is defined and is an object. You might want to change your config.js to the following:

const config =  {
    settings: {
        Token: 'BOT TOKEN',
        LicenseKey: 'LICENSE KEY',
        BotApplicationID: 'BOT USER ID',
        BotOwnerID: 'USER ID',
        GuildID: 'GUILD ID',
        EmbedColour: '#fc6a03',
        botActivity: {
            // ... rest of the properties
        },
        deleteCommands: 'TRUE',
        ShowTriggeredEvents: 'FALSE',
    }
}

module.exports = config;

Ensure that config.settings.EmbedColour is defined in your configuration.

Make these changes and see if it resolves your issues. If you still encounter problems, double-check your configuration and make sure all required fields are properly set.
