type error?

[dire tartan]

Show ping.js line 5 (and possibly the corresponding ping.ts)

[paper fable]

data: SlashCommandBuilder()

I'm only using js, no ts for now

[dire tartan]

Then how is there ts-Mixer involved

Oh wait, it‘s /builders using it, my bad

Can you run npm ls @discordjs/builders please and show the output?

[paper fable]

zzz@1.0.0 /Users/xxx/yyy/zzz
└─┬ discord.js@14.13.0
└── @discordjs/builders@1.6.5

Show full ping.js and how you run your bot / package.json

[paper fable]

ping.js

[paper fable]

the code is hella messy right now, if you want something in particular that might be better

most if it is from the guide except im using import

[dire tartan]

You already showed the code, that looks fine. What about the package.json?

And what command you use to start the bot

[paper fable]

  "name": "zzz",
  "version": "1.0.0",
  "description": "",
  "main": "index.js",
  "scripts": {
    "test": "echo \"Error: no test specified\" && exit 1"
  },
  "repository": {
    "type": "git",
    "url": "..."
  },
  "author": "",
  "license": "ISC",
  "bugs": {
    "url": "..."
  },
  "homepage": "...",
  "dependencies": {
    "chalk": "^5.3.0",
    "discord.js": "^14.13.0",
    "dotenv": "^16.3.1"
  },
  "type": "module"
}

and node .

[dire tartan]

That makes no sense to me. Can you try reinstalling discord.js and see if that fixes it?

[olive scarab]

Version 14 has released! Please update at your earliest convenience.

• Update: npm rm discord.js npm i discord.js
• Update guide (use CTRL + F to search for the old method or property)

[dire tartan]

Run the first bullet point 👆

[paper fable]

Still happens after running both cmds

[dire tartan]

npm ls -g shows what?

[paper fable]

/usr/local/lib
├── corepack@0.17.0

├── pm2@5.3.0
├── pnpm@8.6.5

└── update@0.7.4

[dire tartan]

Do you use pnpm or npm for that bot?

[paper fable]

npm

[dire tartan]

Huh, looks all fine to me… one last try: delete node_modules and package-lock.json in your bot folder and npm i again

[paper fable]

still happens 🥲

[dire tartan]

Oh wait, I see it now… new SlashCommandBuilder() it‘s a constructor, you‘re missing the new

[paper fable]

oh you're right

tf i swear i had that

that error is gone now but the bot isn't adding the commands now

[WARNING] The command at /Users/xxx/yyy/zzz/commands/ping.js is missing a required "data" or "execute" property.

[dire tartan]

Then you probably don’t use import correctly. Show where you do that for the command files

[paper fable]

const __filename = fileURLToPath(import.meta.url);

const __dirname = path.dirname(__filename);


const commandsPath = path.join(__dirname, 'commands');
const commandFiles = fs.readdirSync(commandsPath).filter(file => file.endsWith('.js'));

for (const file of commandFiles) {
    const filePath = path.join(commandsPath, file);
    const command = await import(filePath);
    // Set a new item in the Collection with the key as the command name and the value as the exported module
    if ('data' in command && 'execute' in command) {
        client.commands.set(command.data.name, command);
    } else {
        console.log(`[WARNING] The command at ${filePath} is missing a required "data" or "execute" property.`);
    }
}```

I have to have those two lines at the top otherwise it says something like __dirname isn't defined in ES module scope

(const commandsPath = path.join(__dirname, 'commands');)

[dire tartan]

You use default export, then you‘d need to (await import(…)).default

just don’t use __dirname and instead use import.meta.url directly

[paper fable]

const commandsPath = path.join(path.dirname(import.meta.url), 'commands');?

it doesn't like that

[dire tartan]

Why the path.dirname? ignore me

What about it doesn’t it like?

[paper fable]

so with just import.meta.url it tries to find a commands folder within the index.js file

So i'm assuming it need to find the directory of where index.js is, then find a commands folder in there

Error: ENOENT: no such file or directory, scandir 'file:/Users/xxx/yyy/discord.js-bot/commands'

when using path.dirname

Not gonna lie that's weird

here's the structure btw

Thanks a lot for the help 🙏, im just gonna leave the fileurltopath in there

How do you close this again
