i have a issue where my old slash commands are staying there forever, so i want to make a function that refreshes a guild, adds slash commands that dont exist, updates ones that exist, and deletes ones that dont exist in the code anymore, then ill also make a global function to refresh all guilds (which takes 1 hour, so thats why i also want a one-guild refresh one to allow for bot testing)
how do i go about making this, i already have a basic deploy commands

global commands no longer take an hour to update, so recreating global commands by deploying every command as a guild command in every guild is unnecessary
using the "bulk overwrite commands" endpoint (making a PUT request to the appropriate endpoint) already creates, updates, and deletes commands all in one go, so if you followed the guide's deployment, that's all you should need
if you're observing old commands persisting beyond refreshing your discord client, then it's possible these are left over from the unnecessary guild command deployment

global commands no longer take an hour to update, so recreating global commands ...
can i do it automatically on every bot launch?
or should i keep it manual
sullen ore
that'd be completely unnecessary unless you change your commands on every launch (which you should not be doing)
it's recommended to keep it manual
ivory hill
alright
do you have some tutorial for the newest command deployment to make it easier for me or?
ill probably get some stuff wrong so tutorial would be good
sullen ore
I'm not sure what you mean by "the newest command deployment"
it hasn't changed since application commands were released, so if you already followed the guide, that's all you should need

require("dotenv").config();
const { DISCORD_TOKEN: token } = process.env;
const { REST, Routes } = require("discord.js");
const { commands } = require("../models/commandSchema");
const commands_int_data = [];
for (const command of commands) {
commands_int_data.push(command.data.toJSON());
}
const rest = new REST({ version: "10" }).setToken(token);
(async () => {
try {
console.log(`Deploying ${commands.length} commands to guild!`)
const data = await rest.put(
Routes.applicationCommands(),
{ body: commands }
);
console.log(`Successfully refreshed ${data.length} slash commands!`)
} catch (error) {
console.error(error);
}
})();
?

on the assmption you intend to put your client id in Routes.applicationCommands() at some point, sure
ivory hill
right missed that one

require("dotenv").config();
const { DISCORD_TOKEN: token, CLIENT_ID: clientId } = process.env;
const { REST, Routes } = require("discord.js");
const { commands } = require(`./models/commandSchema`);
const commands_int_data = [];
for (const commandName in commands) {
const command = commands[commandName];
commands_int_data.push(command.int_data.toJSON());
}
console.log(commands_int_data);

body: commands_int_data,
});
console.log(`Successfully refreshed ${data.length} slash commands!`);
} catch (error) {
console.error(error);

})();
the old slash commands are still remaining?

if you're observing old commands persisting beyond refreshing your discord clien...
have you restarted discord?
if so, have you determined whether these commands are global or guild commands?

may you help me with where i have to declare them being global
im not sure what to do
sullen ore
the route you used to deploy them determines whether they're guild/global
Routes.applicationCommands() is for global commands
Routes.applicationGuildCommands() is for guild commands
therefore if you're only bulk overwriting global commands, guild commands won't be deleted (and vice versa)
sullen ore
I mean I suppose that would instantly remove guild commands for that guild
broken shadowBOT
If you have duplicate commands on your server, you registered both global and guild commands.
You can remove the duplicates by resetting either the global or guild commands
rest.put(Routes.applicationCommands(clientId), { body: [] })rest.put(Routes.applicationGuildCommands(clientId, guildId), { body: [] })
sullen ore
you could also do this
ivory hill
i have readded the bot it worked, but the new commands are not being created
no errors or nothing
sullen ore
how have you determined this?
do they entirely not appear in the integrations tab of your server's settings?
when deploying did it log Successfully refreshed n slash commands!?
ivory hill
Successfully refreshed 1 slash commands!```
yeplet me check integrations
so there is a /balance command but its not appearing at all when typing /

if you're observing old commands persisting beyond refreshing your discord clien...
have you restarted discord?
ivory hill
yes
this time it worked upon restaritng
not the first
and i have to use task manager
could i prevent that discord has to be fully restarted
including its processes
do you recommend adding a response that the command doesnt exist, and they should restart discord with the task manager
to refresh the slash commands
it is a little annoying to test the bot aswell
sullen ore
could i prevent that discord has to be fully restarted including its processes
frankly the distinction makes me think you're unaware that you have the "Minimize to Tray" option enabled
the process is discord
it doesn't have to be restarted with the task manager, and because of electron, you can just use ctrl + r
do you recommend adding a response that the command doesnt exist, and they should restart discord with the task manager
that's entirely up to you, but discord also has some built in error messages relating to this
