file structure and command handler code for deploy-commands.js

error:

[balmy bison]

fs reads relative paths from working dir

[rose coral]

i dont really know why fs cant find that path

[balmy bison]

working dir is where you start the process from, which is (probably) the one package.json is in

./ will refer to that directory, which has no "commands" folder

[rose coral]

I tried changing it to ```js
const commands = []
const commandFolders = fs.readdirSync('../src/commands');

[balmy bison]

again, it starts at the current working directory.

so now you are moving one folder out of that (../), which probably doesn't even have a src

[rose coral]

ah

ah ok

now i understand

[rose coral]

having this now here is the updated code:```js
const commands = []
const commandFolders = fs.readdirSync('./src/commands');

for (const folder of commandFolders) {
const folderPath = ./src/commands/${folder};
const commandFiles = fs.readdirSync(folderPath).filter(file => file.endsWith('.js'));
for (const file of commandFiles) {
const command = require(${folderPath}/${file});
commands.push(command.data.toJSON());
}
}```

[balmy bison]

require reads from the module it is used in, not cwd

[slender bloom]

try that

Client.commands = new Discord.Collection()
const commandFolders = fs.readdirSync(`./commands/`).sort((a, b) => {
    return parseInt(a.match(/\d+/)) - parseInt(b.match(/\d+/))
})

for (const folder of commandFolders) {
    const commandFiles = fs.readdirSync(`./commands/${folder}`).filter(file => file.endsWith('.js')).sort((c, d) => {
        return parseInt(c.match(/\d+/)) - parseInt(d.match(/\d+/))
    })

    for (const file of commandFiles) {
        const command = require(`./commands/${folder}/${file}`)
        Client.commands.set(command.name, command)
        console.log(`Command load: ${command.name} [${folder}]`)
    }
}

try this ⬇️

dont spoonfeed

[slender bloom]

😉

[rose coral]

const commands = []
const commandFolders = fs.readdirSync('./src/commands');

for (const folder of commandFolders) {
    const folderPath = `./src/commands/${folder}`;
    const commandFiles = fs.readdirSync(folderPath).filter(file => file.endsWith('.js'));
    for (const file of commandFiles) {
        const command = require(`../src/commands/${folder}/${file}`);
        commands.push(command.data.toJSON());
    }
}```

did this

solved the issue

you dont need all that stuff just needed to fix the paths
