Slash command setting not working

Trying to set slash commands for my bot and I'm not getting any errors, but my slash commands are not being updated properly. I'm using DJS 14.14.1. Am I doing something wrong?

require('dotenv').config();
const fs = require('fs');
const { Client, GatewayIntentBits, PermissionsBitField } = require('discord.js');
const { Logger, Level } = require('./util/logger.js');

const client = new Client({ intents: [GatewayIntentBits.Guilds] });

// Initialize commands
const commands = new Map();

// Builds the list of commands to set
const commandList = [];

const commandPaths = fs.readdirSync('./commands');
for(const commandPath of commandPaths) {
    const command = require(`./commands/${ commandPath }`);
    commandList.push({
        name: command.name,
        description: command.description,
        options: command.options,
        defaultMemberPermissions: PermissionsBitField.Default
    });
    commands.set(command.name, command.obj);
    Logger.log(Level.INFO, `Command initialized successfully: ${ command.name }`);
}

client.on('ready', async () => {
    // Set the commands for the bot
    console.log(await client.application.commands.set(commandList));
    Logger.log(Level.INFO, 'Commands successfully sent to Discord.');

    Logger.log(Level.INFO, 'Bot started successfully!');
});

require('dotenv').config();
const fs = require('fs');
const { Client, GatewayIntentBits, PermissionsBitField } = require('discord.js');
const { Logger, Level } = require('./util/logger.js');

const client = new Client({ intents: [GatewayIntentBits.Guilds] });

// Initialize commands
const commands = new Map();

// Builds the list of commands to set
const commandList = [];

const commandPaths = fs.readdirSync('./commands');
for(const commandPath of commandPaths) {
    const command = require(`./commands/${ commandPath }`);
    commandList.push({
        name: command.name,
        description: command.description,
        options: command.options,
        defaultMemberPermissions: PermissionsBitField.Default
    });
    commands.set(command.name, command.obj);
    Logger.log(Level.INFO, `Command initialized successfully: ${ command.name }`);
}

client.on('ready', async () => {
    // Set the commands for the bot
    console.log(await client.application.commands.set(commandList));
    Logger.log(Level.INFO, 'Commands successfully sent to Discord.');

    Logger.log(Level.INFO, 'Bot started successfully!');
});

:guide: Creating Your Bot: Registering slash commands - Command registration > Global commands read more

SpecialSauce•11mo ago

Registering commands on ready isn’t recommended. You only need to deploy commands if you change their signature

RyanOP•11mo ago

I tried this before too, but I didn't get it work And is the client ID my bot's application ID?

SpecialSauce•11mo ago

Yep

RyanOP•11mo ago

One second. Let me change my code back to register before. Also, thanks for the help! :)

SpecialSauce•11mo ago

Global commands should be available in dms be default

RyanOP•11mo ago

Should it register in guilds/dms right away? Or do I have to wait a certain time?

That's the new code. I removed the permissions as well. Should I keep it in?

It hasn't updated though: https://fyi.cx/MYPqGbG.png

RyanOP•11mo ago

What I was using to previously register commands worked, but when I updated to 14.14.1, it busted (that screenshot is in a server btw, not DMs) And I clicked off and back on Ahh. In a last-ditch effort, I just CTRL+R to refresh discord and I see the updated commands. I have to refresh every time to see the updates? I guess I'm just stupid then lmao

SpecialSauce•11mo ago

Yeah sometimes you need to refresh the client to reload commands. The portion that registers commands should be in a separate file so you’re not hitting the command endpoint every time you start the bot, you’re likely to hit a rate limit while testing.
