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

paper fable Sep 14, 2023, 8:56 PM

#

data: SlashCommandBuilder()

#

I'm only using js, no ts for now

dire tartan Sep 14, 2023, 9:01 PM

#

Then how is there ts-Mixer involved waitWhat

#

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

#

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

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

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 Sep 14, 2023, 9:06 PM

#

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

#

And what command you use to start the bot

and node .

dire tartan Sep 14, 2023, 9:08 PM

#

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

olive scarabBOT Sep 14, 2023, 9:08 PM

#

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)

Run the first bullet point 👆

paper fable Sep 14, 2023, 9:10 PM

Still happens after running both cmds

dire tartan Sep 14, 2023, 9:10 PM

Do you use pnpm or npm for that bot?

paper fable Sep 14, 2023, 9:12 PM

#

npm

dire tartan Sep 14, 2023, 9:13 PM

#

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 Sep 14, 2023, 9:13 PM

#

still happens 🥲

dire tartan Sep 14, 2023, 9:15 PM

#

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

paper fable Sep 14, 2023, 9:15 PM

#

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 Sep 14, 2023, 9:21 PM

#

paper fable most if it is from the guide except im using import

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

paper fable Sep 14, 2023, 9:22 PM

#

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 Sep 14, 2023, 9:23 PM

#

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 Sep 14, 2023, 9:28 PM

#

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

#

it doesn't like that

dire tartan Sep 14, 2023, 9:30 PM

#

~~Why the path.dirname?~~ ignore me

#

What about it doesn’t it like?

paper fable Sep 14, 2023, 9:32 PM

#

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
