Cannot read property 'url' of null. discord.js/src/client/websocket/WebSocketShard.js:268

Casually am randomly getting this error which am guessing is executed when the shard opens each time.

discord.js/src/client/websocket/WebSocketShard.js

Line 268 in af00ec8

this.debug(`[CONNECTED] ${this.connection.url} in ${Date.now() - this.connectedAt}ms`);

I get the same error and it happens a random amount of time after starting the bot

It can happen on a instable connection and the error is known since 2 Months

By any chance will this be fixed before v13 release? Just had 1 shard crash and restart last night because of it. Is there any way to error handle it manually ourselves for now?

I agree, this needs to be fixed quite urgently. My client seems to run into this error frequently and with no real means to fix it alot of us are just stranded waiting months for anything to change. Preventing an instable connection is easier said than done

As announced, discord.js v13 (which includes a fix for this) is releasing by the mid-end of this month. If a fix is so urgent, feel free to use the @dev tag from npm to prepare your bots for v13 and check #djs-at-dev in the official Discord server for any help.

Wait, so does the master branch already have a fix for this, or are you saying v13 will have a fix for this whenever it's released? Because I'm using the master branch right now, and that error still occurred. I'm assuming it's because I'm using an older commit that I installed with npm i discordjs/discord.js before. I will try installing with npm i discord.js@dev later if a newer commit indeed fixes this issue.
