Hi i follow this

#

wdym by file what i need to do ?

coral ore Apr 1, 2024, 9:05 PM

#

your code is reading ping.js as a folder, and the guide assumes you have folder categories

fallen quest Apr 1, 2024, 9:05 PM

#

so i need to create a folder ping ?

#

sorry im bad i just starting the js

coral ore Apr 1, 2024, 9:06 PM

#

you should have a general understanding of javascript before making a discord bot

coral ore Apr 1, 2024, 10:39 PM

#

i hope you’re not trying to register commands on every restart

#

please make sure you have a token set in your .env

log process.env.TOKEN in your deploy-commands.js file to verify that a token is present

fallen quest Apr 1, 2024, 10:40 PM

#

no i just follow the doc step by step i add interactionCreate.js & read.js and it work

fallen quest Apr 1, 2024, 10:41 PM

#

coral ore please make sure you have a token set in your .env log `process.env.TOKEN` in ...

yeah i have i can start the bot

#

coral ore Apr 1, 2024, 10:41 PM

#

that error is pretty self explanatory

#

above i wasn’t aware of what the actual error was

#

i was assuming it had to do with the token, not a missing property

fallen quest Apr 1, 2024, 10:43 PM

#

#

execute is good

coral ore Apr 1, 2024, 10:44 PM

#

missing a required “data” or “execute” property

fallen quest Apr 1, 2024, 10:44 PM

#

oh i need to use both?

coral ore Apr 1, 2024, 10:45 PM

#

that’s up to you, but your code checks for that and will log if either one isn’t present

fallen quest Apr 1, 2024, 10:46 PM

#

when i use only data i have the same error i'll use both

coral ore Apr 1, 2024, 10:46 PM

#

yes because your code checks for both

#

you don’t have to have that check

#

though the guide does recommend it based on following everything to have a organized project

#

it’s not obligatory

fallen quest Apr 1, 2024, 10:47 PM

#

and how can i use both ?

#

i don't know how

coral ore Apr 1, 2024, 10:47 PM

okay, but your command is still missing the data property

#

and the usage is shown from the link i sent

#

please read the guide slowly

you seem to be reading it faster than actually processing what is there

fallen quest Apr 1, 2024, 10:58 PM

yeah i read slowly but i don't know how can i use execute and data both

#

in the command help.js

coral ore Apr 1, 2024, 11:07 PM

#

that link quite literally shows you

#

this example from the guide uses both data and execute together


module.exports = {
    data: new SlashCommandBuilder()
        .setName('ping')
        .setDescription('Replies with Pong!'),
    async execute(interaction) {

you can look at #resources for a list of links to help you. the guide also has some listed as well
