[dreamy siren]

(selected opus tag bc i had to, to post idk what it is)

how do i debug this? since it says nothing in logs and doesnt even light up green
code (voiceConnectionAudioPlayer.player.play(...) is actually ran):

function sayAsUser(text, userId)
{
    const voice = voicesJSON();
    const name = getRandomInt(1000).toString() + ".wav";
    const filePath = `D:/js projects/schizophrenia discord bot/sounds/${name}`;
    // say.speak(text, voice.userVoices.voice[voice.userVoices.userId.indexOf(userId)]);
    say.export(text, voice.userVoices.voice[voice.userVoices.userId.indexOf(userId)], 1, filePath, (e) => {
        console.log(e);
    });
    
    console.log("trying to play audio...");
    const watcher = fs.watch("D:/js projects/schizophrenia discord bot/sounds", (eventType, file) => {
        if(eventType == "rename" && file == name)
        {
            console.log("actually playing audio...");
            voiceConnectionAudioPlayer.player.play(createAudioResource(fs.createReadStream(filePath)));
            watcher.close();
        }
        console.log(file);
    });
    
}

and
node: v21.5.0

and this is how i get the voice connection:
client.on("interactionCreate", (interaction) => // on command
{
    if(!interaction.isChatInputCommand()) return;

    if(interaction.commandName == "join")
    {
        try 
        {
            const voiceChannelId = interaction.member.voice.channel.id;
        

            voiceConnection = joinVoiceChannel({
                channelId: voiceChannelId,
                guildId: interaction.guildId,
                adapterCreator: interaction.guild.voiceAdapterCreator
            });
            interaction.reply("Joined voice chat succesfully!");
            console.log(`Joining vc ${interaction.member.voice.channel.name} (ID: ${voiceChannelId})`);

            voiceConnectionAudioPlayer = voiceConnection.subscribe(createAudioPlayer());
            
        } catch (error) {
            console.log(error);
        }        
    }
});

here are my intents:

const client = new Client({
    intents: [IntentsBitField.Flags.Guilds,
              IntentsBitField.Flags.GuildMembers,
              IntentsBitField.Flags.GuildMessages,
              IntentsBitField.Flags.MessageContent,
              IntentsBitField.Flags.GuildVoiceStates]
});

ping me if you have a response

.wav file btw

[undone hamlet]

first check it's actually reading the file correctly

& the types here may have a hint

[frozen valve]

createAudioResource @0.17.0
Creates an audio resource that can be played by audio players.

[undone hamlet]

notably, that readstream isn't explicitly mentioned

[dreamy siren]

how do i check that

[undone hamlet]

start by breaking down this line into separate calls voiceConnectionAudioPlayer.player.play(createAudioResource(fs.createReadStream(filePath)));

[undone hamlet]

but i suspect this is the issue

iirc you can just pass the path into createAudioResource

[dreamy siren]

im pretty sure i tried that already, but i changed it cuz it was in some example

ill try it again tho

[undone hamlet]

ah u are right

you can add a listener to the error event on audioplayer

[dreamy siren]

wtf

this works

i swear i tried this before 😭

i hate coding ong

well ty

so much

❤️

[undone hamlet]

yw

[dreamy siren]

btw

do you know if i can delete the mp4 file right after i give the command to play it?

[undone hamlet]

i think so

should be read entirely into memory

[dreamy siren]

oh gotcha

how do you delete files in nodejs

btw lol

[undone hamlet]

idk google it

[dreamy siren]

oh its fs.rm

why is it an abreviation

[undone hamlet]

cause rm is a native command in every system
