Reload Commands

Hello, I'd like to update my bot's commands with a command on Discord. I've followed the instructions on this page (https://discordjs.guide/additional-features/reloading-commands.html) but when I run the /reload ping command I get this error.
Error: Cannot find module '../undefined/ping.js'

What should I do? Attached is a photo of how my commands are arranged and the code from the Github example of the DJS guide.

- What's your exact discord.js npm list discord.js and node node -v version? - Not a discord.js issue? Check out #other-js-ts. - Consider reading #how-to-get-help to improve your question! - Explain what exactly your issue is. - Post the full error stack trace, not just the top part! - Show your code! - Issue solved?

Your error isnt really djs related one of your commands properties is undefined
Skully

So is it a problem in the command I performed or in the code?
treble/luna
treble/luna15mo ago
one of both Your top line shows whats wrong Your path is wrong
Skully
SkullyOP15mo ago
I've seen this but I don't know how to define the path correctly. I tried with the following commands but when I run it it tells me that no command was found - /reload ./commands/informations/ping.js - /reload commands/informations/ping.js - /reload ./informations/ping.js - /reload informations/ping.js

well yeah <String>.category doesnt exist
Skully
SkullyOP15mo ago
And there's no indication in the guide of the command to be performed for the path to be correct.

so that'll always be undefined wait log your command and maek sure each of your commands has a category property
Skully
SkullyOP15mo ago
The category property does not correspond to the administration and informations folders located in the commands folder? Because in the original guide there is no category property. It is only present in the Github version This one https://github.com/discordjs/guide/blob/main/code-samples/additional-features/reloading-commands/commands/utility/reload.js

you do have to set a category your commands wont magically have that property
Skully
SkullyOP15mo ago
Do you have a guide or can you tell me how to set the category property on this order, for example please?
treble/luna
treble/luna15mo ago

Like this? Sorry if I can't do some simple things, I'm just starting out.
const { SlashCommandBuilder } = require('discord.js');

module.exports = {
data: new SlashCommandBuilder()
.setName('ping')
.setDescription('Replies with Pong!')
.setCategories([
{
name: 'Something',
},
]),
async execute(interaction) {
await interaction.reply('Pong!');
},
};
const { SlashCommandBuilder } = require('discord.js');

module.exports = {
data: new SlashCommandBuilder()
.setName('ping')
.setDescription('Replies with Pong!')
.setCategories([
{
name: 'Something',
},
]),
async execute(interaction) {
await interaction.reply('Pong!');
},
};
