Slash Command

[potent python]

Can someone please tell me why my slash command isn't working? The code compiles fine, and the bot runs, but the slash command isn't working. The code is found on this website.

What’s the error

make sure you register the command

[potent python]

@ivory mulch I didn't get any error. It's just not working.

I did register the command.

hm

@ivory mulch Wait, I sent the wrong link.

@ivory mulch I meant to send this link. https://dev.to/fellipeutaka/creating-your-first-discord-bot-using-typescript-1eh6

@potent python Please do not ping someone on every message.

[potent python]

?...

[ivory mulch]

There is only so much i can help you with, try messing with the code, and you can add breakpoints and stuff

and see if it actually runs it

[torpid oasis]

When you @username someone, it's a ping. You don't need to do it it three times within a minute.

[ivory mulch]

Without any actual reference to where it’s breaking, i can’t really help tbh.

[potent python]

I know what a ping is. I'm confused by your comment, though, as Object never said not to do it.

How would I restructure this code

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

export const data = new SlashCommandBuilder()
  .setName("ping")
  .setDescription("Replies with Pong!");

export async function execute(interaction: CommandInteraction) {
  return interaction.reply("Pong!");
}

like such:

    import { CommandInteraction, Client } from "discord.js";
import { Command } from "../Command";

export const Hello: Command = {
    name: "hello",
    description: "Returns a greeting",
    type: "CHAT_INPUT",
    run: async (client: Client, interaction: CommandInteraction) => {
        const content = "Hello there!";

        await interaction.followUp({
            ephemeral: true,
            content
        });
    }
};

[ivory mulch]

i believe slash command builder already does most of the formatting

look at your slash command handler and see if it’s running

[potent python]

@ivory mulch I think I figured out the issue. When I run, "node index.js," the bot runs. However, when I try to run it from the command, "npm start dev," I get an error: "dotenv_1.dotenv.config(); ^ TypeError: Cannot read properties of undefined (reading 'config')."

[ivory mulch]

You are using require(‘dotenv’).config() right?

maybe wrong quotes but yk

[potent python]

import * as dotenv from 'dotenv';

dotenv.config();

const { DISCORD_TOKEN, DISCORD_CLIENT_ID } = process.env;

if (!DISCORD_TOKEN || !DISCORD_CLIENT_ID) {
  throw new Error("Missing environment variables");
}

export const config = {
  DISCORD_TOKEN,
  DISCORD_CLIENT_ID,
};

[ivory mulch]

do “import dotenv from ‘dotenv’;” instead
