You can't import a folder. That is indeed wrong in your code

#

Show your imports in index.ts

candid owl Jun 5, 2025, 5:01 PM

#

ah

#

import { commands } from "./commands";
import { deployGlobalCommands } from "./deploy-commands";
import { EnhancedLogger } from "./logger/enhancedLogger";
import { TicketHandler } from "./handlers/ticketHandler";
import { ApplicationHandler } from "./handlers/applicationHandler";
import { SuggestionHandler } from "./handlers/suggestionHandler";
import { GiveawayHandler } from "./handlers/giveawayHandler";
import { startRoleAssigning } from "./Listeners/JoinRole";```

What runtime do you use to run that? Considering you say node but it seems to run ts files

#

You probably want from "./commands/index.js"

candid owl Jun 5, 2025, 5:05 PM

#

its typescript

compact nymph Jun 5, 2025, 5:07 PM

#

That's the language. But how do you run it? node with experimental CLI flags or another runtime or..?

candid owl Jun 5, 2025, 5:07 PM

#

npm run dev

#

and that runs tsx watch src/index.ts

uncut drift Jun 5, 2025, 5:09 PM

#

thats what you run to start it on your local pc but since it works there but not on the host im assuming the host just tries to run it with normal node which doesnt support running typescript directly

candid owl Jun 5, 2025, 5:10 PM

#

my hosts startup command is

if [[ -d .git ]] && [[ 1 == "1" ]]; then git pull; fi; if [[ ! -z ${NODE_PACKAGES} ]]; then /usr/local/bin/npm install ${NODE_PACKAGES}; fi; if [[ ! -z ${UNNODE_PACKAGES} ]]; then /usr/local/bin/npm uninstall ${UNNODE_PACKAGES}; fi; if [ -f /home/container/package.json ]; then /usr/local/bin/npm install; fi; if [[ "${MAIN_FILE}" == "*.js" ]]; then /usr/local/bin/node "/home/container/${MAIN_FILE}" ${NODE_ARGS}; else /usr/local/bin/ts-node --esm "/home/container/${MAIN_FILE}" ${NODE_ARGS}; fi```

#

candid owl and that runs tsx watch src/index.ts

Why? Why do you run dev mode / watch on your host?

compact nymph Jun 5, 2025, 5:12 PM

#

candid owl my hosts startup command is ``` if [[ -d .git ]] && [[ 1 == "1" ]]; then git pu...

Ah, so it's not actually running your dev script but instead ts-node... that's a bad idea

#

I'd rather suggest uploading the transpiled js files and run those on your host

candid owl Jun 5, 2025, 5:30 PM

#

the transpiled js files?

#

what is that sorry im new to deploying discord bots

compact nymph Jun 5, 2025, 5:42 PM

#

Are you also new to typescript as a language?

#

tsc or any other transpiler you use will give you .js files

candid owl Jun 5, 2025, 5:46 PM

#

compact nymph Are you also new to typescript as a language?

yea first time

compact nymph Jun 5, 2025, 5:47 PM

#

Then where did you get all that content you have from? Who told you to use tsx and all that stuff?

candid owl Jun 5, 2025, 5:47 PM

#

a friend 💀

#

but he dont make discord bots-

compact nymph Jun 5, 2025, 5:48 PM

#

Then ask that friend how to run in production

#

Because that's definitely not gonna get you the answer npm run dev

candid owl Jun 5, 2025, 5:48 PM

#

he doesnt know as he dont make discord bots 💀

compact nymph Jun 5, 2025, 5:49 PM

#

Irrelevant. If he does anything in typescript then that anything would still run in production in the end

candid owl Jun 5, 2025, 5:49 PM

#

I will ask him

#

but whats the correct way?

compact nymph Jun 5, 2025, 5:49 PM

#

Alternatively don't use tsx and instead tsc

candid owl Jun 5, 2025, 5:50 PM

#

bet

compact nymph Jun 5, 2025, 5:50 PM

#

Assuming you have a tsconfig setup

candid owl Jun 5, 2025, 5:50 PM

#

I will use that

#

I do

#

Do i need to recode everything

#

for TSC

compact nymph Jun 5, 2025, 5:51 PM

#

No

#

Just add another script in your package.json, name it build for example and just put tsc.
Maybe want to add an outdir: config in your tsconfig.json before

candid owl Jun 5, 2025, 5:53 PM

#

what is it

npx tsc

#

it needs to run

#

so its like:
"build": "npx tsc",

compact nymph Jun 5, 2025, 5:54 PM

#

In scripts you don't needs the npx

candid owl Jun 5, 2025, 5:55 PM

#

ah

#

just tsc

#

as on typescriptlang.org it just says

npx tsc

compact nymph Jun 5, 2025, 5:59 PM

#

Because that's when you run from console directly. In npm scripts the npx always is implied

candid owl Jun 5, 2025, 5:59 PM

#

so i can just type npx tsc in console?

#

without any issue

compact nymph Jun 5, 2025, 5:59 PM

#

Try it and see

candid owl Jun 5, 2025, 5:59 PM

#

it will giev sum errors

#

xD

#

but everything works fine in the discord bot

candid owl Jun 5, 2025, 6:56 PM

#

compact nymph Try it and see

nothing happens

uncut drift Jun 5, 2025, 6:57 PM

#

was a folder made?

#

might be called dist?

candid owl Jun 5, 2025, 7:10 PM

#

yea

Even there is a src/config/config.ts

compact nymph Jun 5, 2025, 7:28 PM

#

You should run node dist/index.js now

#

Not the ts files

candid owl Jun 5, 2025, 7:36 PM

BRO!
