Do you have another file in your commands folder? Seems like your ping file isn’t the issue

this is my help.js file in info folder

orchid marsh Mar 14, 2023, 3:08 PM

#

did u figure anything out yet?

orchid marsh Mar 14, 2023, 4:53 PM

#

uhhhhh idts i can ping cuz against rules T-T

hollow nacelle Mar 14, 2023, 4:57 PM

#

Your paths are relative to the cwd (which works fine for fs). But require needs paths relative to the current file (which is in another directory). So it tries to find the file commands/info/commands/info/help.js to require it. Which doesn’t exist

#

So either use absolute paths or add ../../ to the beginning when passing to require

orchid marsh Mar 14, 2023, 4:58 PM

#

oh okay thank you so much

#

i made the line 16
const commandFolders=getDirectories("../../commands") but im getting this

hollow nacelle Mar 14, 2023, 5:03 PM

#

Yes, for fs functions (like readdir) your paths were correct. Don’t change them there, only in require

orchid marsh Mar 14, 2023, 5:03 PM

#

oh okay

#

im unable to make it relative can u plz help if possible?

hollow nacelle Mar 14, 2023, 5:27 PM

#

In your join you have in your require you can just add another ../../ as first parameter

orchid marsh Mar 14, 2023, 5:28 PM

#

im new to this can you please do the change in code and tell

hollow nacelle Mar 14, 2023, 5:29 PM

#

orchid marsh im new to this can you please do the change in code and tell

#rules 2&5

#

How did you get your hands on such elaborate code and also be new at this Thonk

orchid marsh Mar 14, 2023, 5:29 PM

#

little from chat gpt rest most of the part was from my old code

#

that was discord v12

hollow nacelle Mar 14, 2023, 5:30 PM

#

Yeah, throw the ChatGPT code in the garbage immediately…

Start there

orchid marsh Mar 14, 2023, 5:30 PM

#

i did see the docs ngl

#

kind of complicated for me

#

i did most of the bot stuff

#

from there

#

this help command is the difficult part

hollow nacelle Mar 14, 2023, 5:31 PM

#

You don’t even need a help command for slashcommands. They already show their help themselves in the UI

orchid marsh Mar 14, 2023, 5:31 PM

#

i still prefered one so that i dont forget what all there lol

hollow nacelle Mar 14, 2023, 5:32 PM

#

Type a / and you see what‘s there, what do you mean?

orchid marsh Mar 14, 2023, 5:32 PM

#

ahhh if people have alot of bots in there server it becomes a little problem

#

anyways thanks for your time man appriciate it

hollow nacelle Mar 14, 2023, 5:32 PM

#

Huh? Type a slash and select the bot from the menu

orchid marsh Mar 14, 2023, 5:32 PM

#

thanks for the help

hollow nacelle Mar 14, 2023, 5:33 PM

#

Having 20 /help commands won‘t make that easier btw😉
