Application commands are not updated in chat, but in "Manage Integration" are up-to-date.

Here is my code that updates commands:
When the bot starts to run, it loads all commands

client.commands = new Map();
const commandPath = './commands';
const commandFiles = fs.readdirSync(commandPath).filter((file) => file.endsWith('.mjs'));
for (const file of commandFiles) {
    const filePath = './' + path.join(commandPath, file);
    let command = await import(filePath);
    command = command.default;

    if (command.ignore) continue;
    if (command.data && command.execute) {
        client.commands.set(command.data.name, command);
    } else {
        console.error(`Error: ${filePath} command is missing a required property "data" or "execute"`);
    }
}

After the bot is ready, it sets client.application.commands

import { Client, Events } from 'discord.js';

export default {
    once: true,
    name: Events.ClientReady,

    /**
     * execute
     * @param {Client} client 
     */
    async execute(client) {
        console.info('Client is Ready');

        // load commands
        const commands = Array.from(client.commands.values()).map(command => command.data.toJSON());
        client.application.commands.set(commands)
            .catch(console.error);
        
        const commandNames = commands.map(command => command.name);
        console.info(`Commands loaded: ${commandNames.join(', ')}`);
    },
};

Here's an example of my command file:

import { SlashCommandBuilder, CommandInteraction } from 'discord.js';

export default {
    data: new SlashCommandBuilder()
        .setName('ping')
        .setDescription('Reply with ms'),
    
    /**
     * execute
     * @param {CommandInteraction} interaction 
     */
    async execute(interaction) {
        await interaction.reply(`🏓 Ping! ${interaction.client.ws.ping}ms`);
    },
};

this is what I mean that commands are not "updated"

[foggy silo]

Did you try refreshing the app?

[foggy silo]

That error means it’s still a registered command tho

[civic schooner]

Yes, but when I check "Manage Integration", it does change.

[foggy silo]

"Yes" to that you tried refreshing?

ctrl + r

[civic schooner]

You are totally right.

So I should refresh the app every time I update....
For users, that will be a hassle, I suppose.
Any other way?

[candid sequoia]

Your users will see them after some time too.. just for you as dev the reload is needed to see them fast after deployment

[civic schooner]

Or should I register commands, and it will change instantly?

I guess just refresh my discord
Thank for the response, I will note that.

hi guys do you know how to use discord.js

please say

[thorny cairn]

you can try not to deploy on ready, only when you need it (like with an extra script, the guide has an example)

[civic schooner]

Isn't that registering commands?

I have no idea about the difference

[thorny cairn]

you can check the guide https://discordjs.guide

don't ask on random threads though, at least do it on #djs-help-v14

[thorny cairn]

yes, in this context deploying/registering can mean the same thing, which is "sending" your command data to discord

[civic schooner]

oh, I see
What if I set guild.commands? will that be the same?

[thorny cairn]

that'd deploy/register your commands to only that guild

what I meant was, given commands don't change that regularly, you can try manually deploying them when you know it's needed, not on every start
