topaz cobalt Jun 24, 2023, 11:34 PM

#

either the file doesn't exist or its the wrong file path

fierce narwhal Jun 24, 2023, 11:34 PM

#

do i move it in my source folder?

topaz cobalt Jun 24, 2023, 11:35 PM

#

you can put it wherever you want, but the file path needs to be adjusted accordingly

fierce narwhal Jun 24, 2023, 11:35 PM

#

soo const { TOKEN } = require('src/.config.json'); ?

topaz cobalt Jun 24, 2023, 11:36 PM

#

not quite. that's not how file pathing works

fierce narwhal Jun 24, 2023, 11:36 PM

#

dont know what that is just say

topaz cobalt Jun 24, 2023, 11:36 PM

#

you dont know what a file path is?

fierce narwhal Jun 24, 2023, 11:36 PM

#

i do but ive never had to do this

#

yall shoulda never dropped support for v12 skull_lmao

topaz cobalt Jun 24, 2023, 11:37 PM

#

twilit coyote - File paths explained in detail: [learn more](https://desktop.arcgis.com/en/arc...

i think you should take a step back, look at the links here about proper file path structures and then continue because it's clear you need to refresh your memory on this

fierce narwhal Jun 24, 2023, 11:38 PM

#

nah ill just remove it out of the source folder

topaz cobalt Jun 24, 2023, 11:38 PM

#

fierce narwhal yall shoulda never dropped support for v12<:skull_lmao:990395587528626236>

there would never be new development, bug fixes and improvements to the library so yes we needed to. plus there are a ton of things in v12 that will cause errors and cannot be fixed due to discord's deprecated api that v12 uses

fierce narwhal Jun 24, 2023, 11:39 PM

#

still the same error

fierce narwhal Jun 24, 2023, 11:39 PM

skull_lmao

topaz cobalt Jun 24, 2023, 11:39 PM

./ refers to the current directory

fierce narwhal Jun 24, 2023, 11:40 PM

#

thats what it is

topaz cobalt Jun 24, 2023, 11:40 PM

#

no its not

#

your index.js is inside the src folder

fierce narwhal Jun 24, 2023, 11:40 PM

#

topaz cobalt well 2 things- 1. `config` is a json file, not a function 2. make sure your file...

^

fierce narwhal Jun 24, 2023, 11:42 PM

#

okk? thats what you showed me lmao this isnt support skull_lmao

topaz cobalt Jun 24, 2023, 11:42 PM

#

then what is it?

#

a json file is not a function

#

so remove the function

fierce narwhal Jun 24, 2023, 11:42 PM

#

topaz cobalt Jun 24, 2023, 11:43 PM

#

yeah its not defined

#

remove config()

fierce narwhal Jun 24, 2023, 11:43 PM

#

you said config(); defined it yesterday

topaz cobalt Jun 24, 2023, 11:43 PM

#

that was for your .env file which you don't seem to be using today

#

two different things

fierce narwhal Jun 24, 2023, 11:44 PM

#

cus neither work

topaz cobalt Jun 24, 2023, 11:44 PM

#

it does if you read the guide properly

#

instead of getting so defensive over it

#

im trying to help as best as i can

#

but you're not putting in enough effort for this

#

i highly suggest you make your main file look like this, but its just a suggestion so im not forcing you

#

this is mainly for best practice and should be used

fierce narwhal Jun 24, 2023, 11:48 PM

#

jus nvm bro discord.py is easier

topaz cobalt Jun 24, 2023, 11:49 PM

#

use whatever library you want and that is your opinion

fierce narwhal Jun 24, 2023, 11:49 PM

#

not an opinion everyone says it

topaz cobalt Jun 24, 2023, 11:49 PM

#

do you still need help or no?

fierce narwhal Jun 24, 2023, 11:49 PM

#

im good lil bro

topaz cobalt Jun 24, 2023, 11:49 PM

#

#

i wish you the best of luck with your project
