Why's there a src directory then? Curious. No matter..
gray sigil
Its for my bot? the commands, handlers, main bot file. All are in the src. Events included
fast bramble
Okay. Have you tried just not having . or / there at all?
src/events/${dir}?
fast bramble
Where is the main index file for the project?
gray sigil
No it doesnt
fast bramble
The file upon which you invoke node.
gray sigil
Where is the main index file for the project?
in the src folder
fast bramble
Okay. So all file access is relative to the src directory.
Your path would thus be looking for...
src/src/events/${dir}
Drop the src, just put events/${dir}
fast bramble
What's the error?
gray sigil
Error: ENOENT: no such file or directory, scandir 'events/client'
fast bramble
Then I don't trust that what you've claimed is entirely accurate before.

Then I don't trust that what you've claimed is entirely accurate before.
It is true look at the error
C:\Users\Therogamer\Documents\Coding-Projects\Discord-Bot\src <- Full Path
fast bramble
This claimed /app/src not.. whatever path that is.
Which already raises some red flags to me.
gray sigil
Yes because im pushing it to git then heroku because it is hosted in heroku
app is basically Discord-bot from my path
fast bramble
Does it work when running on the local machine?
gray sigil
Same error
I tried every combination of that path. I put path.resolve in it too and it gave the same error
fast bramble
Alrighty, test locally for the moment.
My suggestion for the moment is to try a path relative to your index file.
const path = require("path");
path.join( __dirname, `events/${dir}`)
const event_files = fs.readdirSync(path.join( __dirname, `events/${dir}`)).filter(file => file.endsWith('.js')); ?
fast bramble
Yeah. Since I can't seem to figure out what your working directory even is, I'm skipping past that and going entirely relative.
gray sigil
Error: ENOENT: no such file or directory, scandir 'C:\Users\Therogamer\Documents\Coding-Projects\discord-bot\src\handlers\events\client'
fast bramble
Ah, you're inside a handler.
gray sigil
I think its trying to read from inside the handlers folder
fast bramble
That's fine, ../events/${dir}
gray sigil
That's fine, `../events/${dir}`
Just that should i remove the path.join part?
fast bramble
Just the addition of ../
gray sigil
Ok
fast bramble
And if this fails then you're a filthy liar :p
fast bramble
.. not .
gray sigil
It is ..
fast bramble
Ah. Hm.
gray sigil
In the error its .
Idk why
const event_files = fs.readdirSync(path.join( __dirname, `../events/${dir}`)).filter(file => file.endsWith('.js'));
fast bramble
It's reading from the correct path, but your ready.js isn't exporting?
gray sigil
I think so
fast bramble
Since the error is no longer that there is no file, but that no module could be found.
gray sigil
Oop
found it
The second one didnt have .. before
Ok now it works
And another thing doesn't
setactivity doesn't work because its undefined. I don't know how to declare the client so it works. My attempts at declaring it didn't work
Well thanks for you help @fast bramble . Ill ask about the setactivity in the main channel.
fast bramble
Your issue is module handling. You want your event modules to return a function that accepts the Client as a parameter.
e.g.
module.exports = function(client) {
// do stuff with client here
}
Then when you first require in the file, call the resultant module value and call it with your Client object.
const event = require(modulePath);
event(client);
It's just one example, there are other variations of this including returning a class or an object with an init function.
gray sigil
modulePath would be?
fast bramble
The path of the file you're trying to load.
Oh, you've probably not got that far..bleh.
gray sigil
Im at the first client event which is the ready.js
setactivity is undefined and im trying to figure out how to declare the client so it works
fast bramble
I assumed the earlier code was to add ready.js to your project.
So where is that specific piece of code?
gray sigil
You mean the event_handler?
fast bramble
```const event_files = fs.readdirSync(path.join( __dirname, `events/${dir}`)).fi...
You have this here.
I assume you then went on to use event_files.
I would like to see more of the code.
gray sigil
const path = require('path');
const fs = require('fs');
module.exports = (client, Discord) =>{
const load_dir = (dir) =>{
const event_files = fs.readdirSync(path.join( __dirname, `../events/${dir}`)).filter(file => file.endsWith('.js'));
for(const file of event_files){
const event = require(`../events/${dir}/${file}`);
const event_name = file.split('.')[0];
client.on(event_name, event.bind(null, Discord, client));
}
}
['client', 'guild'].forEach(e => load_dir(e));
}```module.exports = (client, args, Discord) =>{
console.log('Bot Online.');
client.user.setActivity('Made by Therogamer. | *help');
}```
Just this for nowSo your issue here is that what you're passing in does not match what you're expecting.
event.bind(null, Discord, client)
module.exports=(client, args, Discord)
fast bramble
Honestly I doubt you have any reason to pass the Discord object into the event, with it being global.
gray sigil
ready.js works now but message.js doesn't
const prefix = '*';
if(!message.content.startsWith(prefix) || message.author.bot) return;
const args = message.content.slice(prefix.length).split(/ +/);
const cnd = args.shift().toLowerCase();
const command = client.commands.get(cnd);
if(command) command.execute(client, message, args, Discord);
}```
this is itIts in
fast bramble
What's your bind command now?
fast bramble
It should be event.bind(null, Discord, client)
gray sigil
thats what i deleted to make ready.js work
fast bramble
```const Discord = require('discord.js');
module.exports = (client, args, Discor...
And this should be
module.exports = (Discord, client)
the null
gray sigil
And this should be
```js
module.exports = (Discord, client)
```
I see
fast bramble
the null
The first parameter of bind is not passed into the argument list, but is what the this value is assigned to on call.
It's why I had it struck out in my previous code.
gray sigil
Now message.js and ready.js works but a command that contains embed doesnt work
fast bramble
Is its parameter list correct?
gray sigil
const Discord = require('discord.js');
const { MessageEmbed } = require('discord.js');
module.exports = {
name: 'version',
description: 'Tells the bots version!',
execute(Discord, message, args, client) {
const Version = new Discord.MessageEmbed()
.setColor('#4A235A')
.setTitle("Bot Version")
.setDescription('The bot is currently on version: ' + bv);
message.channel.send({embeds: [ Version ]})
}
}```
TypeError: Discord.MessageEmbed is not a constructorThis doesn't follow the same structure as the previous code.
It returns an object instead of a function, so clearly you're handling this with a different piece of code.
I've not seen that code and so I'm unable to assist.
gray sigil
Yes sorry
Commands are handled by command_handler
module.exports = (client, Discord) =>{
const command_files = fs.readdirSync('./src/commands').filter(file => file.endsWith('.js'));
for(const file of command_files){
const command = require(`../commands/${file}`);
if(command.name){
client.commands.set(command.name, command);
} else {
continue;
}
}
}```Additionally, you're using new Discord.MessageEmbed() despite the fact you now have a global, MessageEmbed higher up.
gray sigil
Additionally, you're using `new Discord.MessageEmbed()` despite the fact you now...
Im blind can you tell me where it is?
