Your not running it in the right directory then

#

If still correct, then you should be able to 'CTRL+CLICK' the reference, and it'll open the file

is it supposed to be in the node directory

#

shell orchid is it supposed to be in the node directory

Your structure should be

Project Root e.g. 'myBot'
> package.json
> node_modules
> src
>> bot.js / index.js
>> commands
>> etc...

#

Or along those lines

shell orchid

then just navigate there, or just use the terminal built into your ide

#

or you can use something like windows terminal which adds an option open a terminal in a specific directory on right click

You can also add scripts to your package.json to alias commands whoch is quite useful, e.g. mine:

  "scripts": {
    "test": "node src/bot.js",
    "debug": "node --inspect src/bot.js",
    "deploy": "git push heroku main"
  },

"test" should be for testing doe

#

"start" would be better

toxic blaze Jul 9, 2022, 9:22 PM

#

Tomato Tomarto, it works for me.
Just an example

rough dew Jul 9, 2022, 9:22 PM

#

nah just naming something that starts your bot "test" makes no sense

#

"start" and "dev" are convention

#

rough dew nah just naming something that starts your bot "test" makes no sense

That's because it's for my dev bot.
