JavaScript: How to dynamically get the name of the method inside the method in a class?

I would like to get the name of the method inside the method in a class and throw an error when one argument is passed to the method. For example, if the name of the instance is instance_of_cookie and the name of the method is (for simplicity) the_method, then passing one argument to that method should throw an error like "instance_of_cookie.the_method" expected two arguments or simply "the_method" expected two arguments.

I can get the name of the function inside the function using arguments.calle.name. But that doesn't seem to work inside class methods and throws the following error:

VM10:4 Uncaught TypeError: 'caller', 'callee', and 'arguments' properties may not be accessed on strict mode functions or the arguments objects for calls to them
    at Cookie.the_method (<anonymous>:4:28)
    at eval (eval at the_method (:4:28), <anonymous>:1:32)
    at Cookie.the_method (<anonymous>:4:28)
    at <anonymous>:13:32

I came across a post which mentioned this.constructor.name but that gives me the name of the class.

class Cookie {
  the_method(x, y) {
    if (y == undefined) {
      return `'${this.constructor.name}' expects two arguments; one was given`;
    } else {
        return "Everything's OK"
    }
  }
}

let instance_of_cookie = new Cookie();

console.log(instance_of_cookie.the_method(8))

Is there any way I can get the name of the method inside the method in a class?

(Note: I can hard-code the name of the method, but for some reasons, I don't want to do that.)

Confusion between commands.Bot and discord.Client | Which one should I use?

Whenever you look at YouTube tutorials or code from this website there is a real variation. Some developers use client = discord.Client(intents=intents) while the others use bot = commands.Bot(command_prefix="something", intents=intents) . Now I know slightly about the difference but I get errors from different places from my code when I use either of them and its confusing. Especially since there has a few changes over the years in discord.py it is hard to find the real difference. I tried sticking to discord.Client then I found that there are more features in commands.Bot . Then I found errors when using commands.Bot . An example of this is: When I try to use commands.Bot client = commands.Bot(command_prefix=">",intents=intents) async def load(): for filename in os.listdir("./Cogs"): if filename.endswith(".py"): client.load_extension(f"Cogs.{filename[:-3]}") The above doesnt giveany response from my Cogs ...
