Apparently we can make threads, so imma do that.

Are you able to send your config.json? - OBVIOUSLY omitting any important information like your bot token

worldly anvil Nov 2, 2022, 8:43 AM

#

yep, its again a super short thing, im following the discord bot guide

#

{
"token": "abc?",
"clientId": "its not 123",
"guildId": "why look for this :p"
}

#

i followed the guide and it basically just said to plug in the ID's

slow apex Nov 2, 2022, 8:45 AM

#

interesting

worldly anvil Nov 2, 2022, 8:45 AM

#

the guildID, im using my test server to prep the thing

#

im kinda new to js, what does the error tell you?

worldly anvil im kinda new to js, what does the error tell you?

The error leads me to believe that there is a mistake in config.js, this is hinted at by the SyntaxError you received.

I wonder if it may be because you are missing the last ,... but I don't see why that would be the case
try add that last trailing ,

{
    "token": "abc?",
    "clientId": "id1",
    "guildId": "id2",
}

thats the error i got after adding the trailing comma

slow apex Nov 2, 2022, 8:52 AM

#

okay, well remove line 2 from deploy-commands.js, that being this one;js const { clientId, guildId, token } = require('./config.json'); and add this instead;```js
const token = "your-token-goes-here";
const clientId = "123456789012345678";
const guildId = "876543210987654321";

#

just circumvent the issue lol
