Shard Connections

I am using Discordjs v14.9.0 Since 2 days, randomly my bot gets disconnected from Discord API, after x numbers of hours. I found nothing in debug logs or shard log. I don't know, how to counter this problem. Though, I was thinking, if we could use "Shard" Class to manually check its connection API after each Interval and if found closed, we just respawn it via "respawn()". I don't know, how to check the connection with API. Can anyone guide me through this?

• What's your exact discord.js npm list discord.js and node node -v version? • Post the full error stack trace, not just the top part! • Show your code! • Explain what exactly your issue is. • Not a discord.js issue? Check out #useful-servers.

- Node Version: v18.13.0 - What I have made till now:

manager.on('shardCreate', shard => {
    console.log(`[SHARD MANAGER]: Launched shard #${shard.id}`);
    const func = async () => {
        await shard.respawn({timeout: -1});
    };
    
    shard.on('death', func);
    shard.on('disconnect', func);

    shard.on('ready', () => {
        setInterval(async () => {
            await shard.eval(client => client.users.fetch("767383867031945236", {force: true}))
            .catch(e => shard.respawn({timeout: -1}));
        }, 30_000);
    });

});

manager.on('shardCreate', shard => {
    console.log(`[SHARD MANAGER]: Launched shard #${shard.id}`);
    const func = async () => {
        await shard.respawn({timeout: -1});
    };
    
    shard.on('death', func);
    shard.on('disconnect', func);

    shard.on('ready', () => {
        setInterval(async () => {
            await shard.eval(client => client.users.fetch("767383867031945236", {force: true}))
            .catch(e => shard.respawn({timeout: -1}));
        }, 30_000);
    });

});

Unsure if this can help out but why not use the shardError event to have some additional debugging?

Elitex | Not wellOP•2y ago

I have that Event as well

Mac•2y ago

What's the code you used for that? it's not in the snippet you sent.

Elitex | Not wellOP•2y ago

umm, my snippet is regarding, What I want to make 2nd para in my post message.

Mac•2y ago

yes but what code do you have for "shardError" I don't see anything in your paragraph

Elitex | Not wellOP•2y ago

just log um you mean, shard.on("error", func) ?

Mac•2y ago

because on all your errors, you just try to respawn the shard without logging anything https://old.discordjs.dev/#/docs/discord.js/14.11.0/class/Client?scrollTo=e-shardError

Elitex | Not wellOP•2y ago

I don't see it here

Elitex | Not wellOP•2y ago

in Shard class ^ docs*

Mac•2y ago

The one I sent is apart of all the other events

Elitex | Not wellOP•2y ago

yea, I have this one for logging in sep file

Mac•2y ago

and nothing logs either?

Elitex | Not wellOP•2y ago

yep nothing

Mac•2y ago

odd. yeah probably best to wait for someone with more experience than me on this one

Elitex | Not wellOP•2y ago

hm its way odd, I am using the package at v14.9 since it's released. Since 2 days, it started doing that shrug

Mac•2y ago

update your package and try

Elitex | Not wellOP•2y ago

I don't wanna hit downtime, cz of connection issues in new version as said in announcement

Mac•2y ago

How many servers is your bot in? and im unsure about having any downtime with the latest version - 14.11.0

Elitex | Not wellOP•2y ago

2100+ lemii see upgrading the stuff - https://github.com/discordjs/discord.js/issues/9139#issuecomment-1537589759 Though, I was thinking, if we could use "Shard" Class to manually check its connection API after each Interval and if found closed, we just respawn it via "respawn()". I don't know, how to check the connection with API. What about this ??

dzlandis•2y ago

I also think I am having a similar problem Upgrading to v14.11 did not fix the issue for me, assuming that this problem is the same as mine I've been talking about my problem in #Bot Shards Keep Reconnecting After Reboot. I just made a comment on that github issue you referenced.

Elitex | Not wellOP•2y ago

ohk I have updated to v14.11, less see how it goes Issue resolved with updating Djs to v14.11.0
