Discord Channel Permissions Inconsistencies

I’m getting a lot of these:

net.dv8tion.jda.core.exceptions.ErrorResponseException: 50013: Missing Permissions

To reproduce: Give the bot the “Manage Roles” permission, and try to do something like clearing Emojis from a message. The problem here is, that I can’t even check this in front of, because JDA will tell me that yes, it does have permissions to Manage Messages only to then error out when queue()ing that action. @MinnDevelopment explained it to me like this:

MANAGE_ROLES = MANAGE_PERMISSIONS MANAGE_PERMISSIONS -> ALL_TEXT_PERMISSIONS ALL_TEXT_PERMISSIONS -> MANAGE_MESSAGE

and that this was an inconsistency in handling permissions on Discords side.

So how can I know in this case in advance that I am missing a permission?

I think this issue can now be closed, no?

If this is indeed the case then PermissionUtil will need to be re-evaluated to see if the situation has changed and if we need to modify our functionality to match the now-fixed functionality.
