Delete slash command if it is "forgotten"

I have a problem with my guilds slash commands where If I delete a command in my code, it stays in the guild. Now I'm trying to code something to delete the slash command if it doesn't "exist" anymore in the code, but I'm getting an error. Here's my output:

❯ npm start

> node scripts/start.js && npm run build && cd dist && node src/index.js


> [email protected] build
> rimraf dist/* && tsc && tsc-alias && tscp

The code to delete the slash command is the following:

const command = interaction.client.commands.get(interaction.commandName)
if (!command) {
  const rest = new REST().setToken(process.env.token)
  try {
        rest.delete(Routes.applicationGuildCommand(process.env.clientId,interaction.guild.id,interaction.id))
                    .then(()=> logging(`Deleted leftover command ${interaction.commandName} in guild "${interaction.guild.id}`,"minimal"))
                    .catch(err => logging(`An error occured while deleting left-over command:\n${err}`,"error"))
            } catch (error) {
                logging("An error occured while deleting left-over command:\n" + error,"error")
            }
            interaction.reply({content: "Command is outdated. It cannot be used anymore."})

            return
        }

const command = interaction.client.commands.get(interaction.commandName)
if (!command) {
  const rest = new REST().setToken(process.env.token)
  try {
        rest.delete(Routes.applicationGuildCommand(process.env.clientId,interaction.guild.id,interaction.id))
                    .then(()=> logging(`Deleted leftover command ${interaction.commandName} in guild "${interaction.guild.id}`,"minimal"))
                    .catch(err => logging(`An error occured while deleting left-over command:\n${err}`,"error"))
            } catch (error) {
                logging("An error occured while deleting left-over command:\n" + error,"error")
            }
            interaction.reply({content: "Command is outdated. It cannot be used anymore."})

            return
        }

Can't I use the command interaction ID to delete it?

I just use set as opposed to create when deploying commands to avoid the need for deleting commands Well, put instead of post if using rest

OriOP•12mo ago

Wdym? Set?

Kinect3000•12mo ago

Put instead of post

OriOP•12mo ago

Oh, what's the difference? It's temporary maybe?

Kinect3000•12mo ago

put sets alls commands

OriOP•12mo ago

Oh yeah

Kinect3000•12mo ago

Whatever array of commands you provide will become the entire set of commands (new ones are created, removed ones are deleted, others are updated if needed) The creates are still counted against the creation rate limit, but the rest isn’t Heh, rest

OriOP•12mo ago

I already use put lol

OriOP•12mo ago

Wait maybe i'm getting old commands

Kinect3000•12mo ago

Try running the old command It shouldn’t go to the bot

OriOP•12mo ago

Well it says the message wait

OriOP•12mo ago

Kinect3000•12mo ago

Yea

OriOP•12mo ago

I'm maybe guessing that i'm getting old commands before pushing

Kinect3000•12mo ago

Is that from ur bot?

OriOP•12mo ago

Yes (dont mind the name it's not the actual bot lol)

Kinect3000•12mo ago

Are you sure the command got removed from the array?

OriOP•12mo ago

I'll try logging it Oh yeah also If I remove every guild commands then the guild deploy part will not run and therefor not overwrite the old guild commands that's why

OriOP•12mo ago

Yeah now it works

OriOP•12mo ago

When I add a guild command

Kinect3000•12mo ago

You don’t manually run the deploy script while testing?

OriOP•12mo ago

what do you mean?

Kinect3000•12mo ago

Usually, application command deployment is its own script

OriOP•12mo ago

Oh yes it is its own script What I mean is that If I delete all guild commands, the part where it deploys guild commands will not run, so it will not overwrite the old commands That's why I wanted to delete the command if it was old

Kinect3000•12mo ago

I’m not rly sure what your mean My deploy script just reads the commands directory to see available commands, then sets the commands to match that

OriOP•12mo ago

Yes but I'm talking about guild-specifc commands My script is halfed into global, and guild commands. The global deploy always run. The guilds one only runs if one command in the code is guild-specific I could send it If you want

Kinect3000•12mo ago

I would just have it always deploy Even if there are no commands

OriOP•12mo ago

I have to go but I'll try to explain it better later If there is no guilds in which you need to reload commands, then the code doesn't know which guilds you need to push commands to
