I have a problem with my guilds slash commands where If I delete a command in my code, it stays in the guild. Now I'm trying to code something to delete the slash command if it doesn't "exist" anymore in the code, but I'm getting an error. Here's my output:


> [email protected] start
> node scripts/start.js && npm run build && cd dist && node src/index.js


> [email protected] build
> rimraf dist/* && tsc && tsc-alias && tscp

✖ An error occured while deleting left-over command:
DiscordAPIError[10063]: Unknown application command```

The code to delete the slash command is the following:
```ts
const command = interaction.client.commands.get(interaction.commandName)
if (!command) {
  const rest = new REST().setToken(process.env.token)
  try {
        rest.delete(Routes.applicationGuildCommand(process.env.clientId,interaction.guild.id,interaction.id))
                    .then(()=> logging(`Deleted leftover command ${interaction.commandName} in guild "${interaction.guild.id}`,"minimal"))
                    .catch(err => logging(`An error occured while deleting left-over command:\n${err}`,"error"))
            } catch (error) {
                logging("An error occured while deleting left-over command:\n" + error,"error")
            }
            interaction.reply({content: "Command is outdated. It cannot be used anymore."})

            return
        }```

Can't I use the command interaction ID to delete it?

[email protected] and node v20.3.0

#

I just use set as opposed to create when deploying commands to avoid the need for deleting commands

#

Well, put instead of post if using rest

Wdym?

#

Set?

lean obsidian Nov 25, 2023, 10:34 AM

#

Put instead of post

broken prairie Nov 25, 2023, 10:35 AM

#

Oh, what's the difference?

#

It's temporary maybe?

lean obsidian Nov 25, 2023, 10:35 AM

#

put sets alls commands

broken prairie Nov 25, 2023, 10:35 AM

#

Oh yeah

lean obsidian Nov 25, 2023, 10:36 AM

#

Whatever array of commands you provide will become the entire set of commands (new ones are created, removed ones are deleted, others are updated if needed)

#

The creates are still counted against the creation rate limit, but the rest isn’t

#

Heh, rest

broken prairie Nov 25, 2023, 10:36 AM

#

I already use put lol

#

Wait maybe i'm getting old commands

lean obsidian Nov 25, 2023, 10:37 AM

#

Try running the old command

#

It shouldn’t go to the bot

broken prairie Nov 25, 2023, 10:37 AM

#

Well it says the message

#

wait

#

lean obsidian Nov 25, 2023, 10:38 AM

#

Yea

broken prairie Nov 25, 2023, 10:38 AM

#

I'm maybe guessing that i'm getting old commands before pushing

lean obsidian Nov 25, 2023, 10:38 AM

#

Is that from ur bot?

broken prairie Nov 25, 2023, 10:38 AM

#

Yes

#

(dont mind the name it's not the actual bot lol)

lean obsidian Nov 25, 2023, 10:39 AM

#

Are you sure the command got removed from the array?

broken prairie Nov 25, 2023, 10:39 AM

#

I'll try logging it

#

Oh yeah also

#

If I remove every guild commands then the guild deploy part will not run

#

and therefor not overwrite the old guild commands

#

that's why

#

Yeah now it works

#

When I add a guild command

#

You don’t manually run the deploy script while testing?

lean obsidian You don’t manually run the deploy script while testing?

what do you mean?

lean obsidian Nov 25, 2023, 10:43 AM

#

Usually, application command deployment is its own script

broken prairie Nov 25, 2023, 10:43 AM

#

Oh yes it is its own script

#

What I mean is that If I delete all guild commands, the part where it deploys guild commands will not run, so it will not overwrite the old commands

#

That's why I wanted to delete the command if it was old

lean obsidian Nov 25, 2023, 10:45 AM

#

I’m not rly sure what your mean

#

My deploy script just reads the commands directory to see available commands, then sets the commands to match that

broken prairie Nov 25, 2023, 10:46 AM

#

Yes but I'm talking about guild-specifc commands

#

My script is halfed into global, and guild commands.
The global deploy always run.
The guilds one only runs if one command in the code is guild-specific

#

I could send it If you want

lean obsidian Nov 25, 2023, 10:48 AM

#

I would just have it always deploy

#

Even if there are no commands

broken prairie Nov 25, 2023, 10:49 AM

#

I have to go but I'll try to explain it better later
