discord.js - Imagine a boo! 👻•3mo ago

My slash commands aren't registering in my discord server. Client.on() doesn't seem to run.

Github: https://github.com/Niimaii/Harmony I am putting the repo here to make things easier. I put several console.log() to check how things are. The bot does login, it seems to register all the commands. However it doesn't show up when I try to use the slash command in the server. I am at a loss and spent wayyyyy too much time trying to figure this out, there is probably a simple explanation, I just can't figure it out. The only hint I have is that the only console.log() that doesn't show up are the one in this section:

client.on(Events.InteractionCreate, (interaction) => {
  console.log('Client.on ran');

  if (!interaction.isChatInputCommand()) return;

  console.log(`Command received: ${interaction.commandName}`);

  let command = client.commands.get(interaction.commandName);

  try {
    if (interaction.replied) return;
    command.execute(interaction);
  } catch (error) {
    console.error(error);
  }
});

client.on(Events.InteractionCreate, (interaction) => {
  console.log('Client.on ran');

  if (!interaction.isChatInputCommand()) return;

  console.log(`Command received: ${interaction.commandName}`);

  let command = client.commands.get(interaction.commandName);

  try {
    if (interaction.replied) return;
    command.execute(interaction);
  } catch (error) {
    console.error(error);
  }
});

So it seems that client.on() isn't running at all, I am not sure. Please help! ahahahaha

I am sure there is something wrong with it, but it doesn't seem to error when I run it

I am a little stupid and new to discord bots. I tried not calling anything from deploy-commands in index, but nothing from the deploy-commands would run (even the console.log()). So I was desperate and thought I needed to run it in index.js? tbh I am pretty lost on what to do. None of this code from deploy-commands is running including the console.logs() I have there (i updated it to what I had it originally before deciding to call it in index):

import fs from 'node:fs';
import path from 'node:path';
import { REST } from '@discordjs/rest';
import { Routes } from 'discord.js';
import { DISCORD_TOKEN, CLIENT_ID, GUILD_ID } from '../config.js';

console.log('deploy-commands ran');
function getFiles(dir) {
  const files = fs.readdirSync(dir, {
    withFileTypes: true,
  });

  let commandFiles = [];

  //   Loop through all the files and folders in the `command` folder
  for (const file of files) {
    // If a folder is being looped over, run `getFiles()` recursively so that all the files in that folder is accounted for
    if (file.isDirectory()) {
      commandFiles = [...commandFiles, ...getFiles(`${dir}/${file.name}`)];
    }
    // If what is being looped over a file that ends with .js, then add the file path to `commandFiles`
    else if (file.name.endsWith('.js')) {
      commandFiles.push(`${dir}/${file.name}`);
    }
  }

  return commandFiles;
}

async function loadCommands() {
  let commands = [];
  const commandFiles = getFiles('./src/commands');

  for (const file of commandFiles) {
    const command = await import(path.resolve(file));
    //   Push all the commands within "data" in each file
    commands.push(command.default.data.toJSON());
  }

  return commands;
}

(async () => {
  const commands = await loadCommands();
  const rest = new REST({ version: '10' }).setToken(DISCORD_TOKEN);

  // Run all the commands in our specific server
  rest
    .put(
      Routes.applicationGuildCommands(CLIENT_ID, GUILD_ID, { body: commands })
    )
    .then(() =>
      console.log('Successfully registered the application commands!')
    )
    .catch(console.error);
})();

import fs from 'node:fs';
import path from 'node:path';
import { REST } from '@discordjs/rest';
import { Routes } from 'discord.js';
import { DISCORD_TOKEN, CLIENT_ID, GUILD_ID } from '../config.js';

console.log('deploy-commands ran');
function getFiles(dir) {
  const files = fs.readdirSync(dir, {
    withFileTypes: true,
  });

  let commandFiles = [];

  //   Loop through all the files and folders in the `command` folder
  for (const file of files) {
    // If a folder is being looped over, run `getFiles()` recursively so that all the files in that folder is accounted for
    if (file.isDirectory()) {
      commandFiles = [...commandFiles, ...getFiles(`${dir}/${file.name}`)];
    }
    // If what is being looped over a file that ends with .js, then add the file path to `commandFiles`
    else if (file.name.endsWith('.js')) {
      commandFiles.push(`${dir}/${file.name}`);
    }
  }

  return commandFiles;
}

async function loadCommands() {
  let commands = [];
  const commandFiles = getFiles('./src/commands');

  for (const file of commandFiles) {
    const command = await import(path.resolve(file));
    //   Push all the commands within "data" in each file
    commands.push(command.default.data.toJSON());
  }

  return commands;
}

(async () => {
  const commands = await loadCommands();
  const rest = new REST({ version: '10' }).setToken(DISCORD_TOKEN);

  // Run all the commands in our specific server
  rest
    .put(
      Routes.applicationGuildCommands(CLIENT_ID, GUILD_ID, { body: commands })
    )
    .then(() =>
      console.log('Successfully registered the application commands!')
    )
    .catch(console.error);
})();

Oh wow, I didn't even catch that. Thank you! I updated the code to this:

(async () => {
  const commands = await loadCommands();
  const rest = new REST({ version: '10' }).setToken(DISCORD_TOKEN);

  // Run all the commands in our specific server
  rest
    .put(Routes.applicationGuildCommands(CLIENT_ID, GUILD_ID), {
      body: commands,
    })
    .then(() =>
      console.log('Successfully registered the application commands!')
    )
    .catch(console.error);
})();

(async () => {
  const commands = await loadCommands();
  const rest = new REST({ version: '10' }).setToken(DISCORD_TOKEN);

  // Run all the commands in our specific server
  rest
    .put(Routes.applicationGuildCommands(CLIENT_ID, GUILD_ID), {
      body: commands,
    })
    .then(() =>
      console.log('Successfully registered the application commands!')
    )
    .catch(console.error);
})();

The deploy-commands.js file doesn't seem to run still. None of the console.log() are running. I tried updating my package.json script to include it when I run, but nothing still:

 "scripts": {
    "test": "echo \"Error: no test specified\" && exit 1",
    "start": "nodemon ./src/deploy-commands.js && nodemon ./src/index.js"
  },

 "scripts": {
    "test": "echo \"Error: no test specified\" && exit 1",
    "start": "nodemon ./src/deploy-commands.js && nodemon ./src/index.js"
  },

So commands are now registered! But only when I manually run the script; the deploy-commands.js script is still not running on it's own and the bot does not reply with 'pong' or anything when I run the slash command.

treble/luna•3mo ago

that is intended, hence why its a separate script You still have to run your actual bot itself

Anarchy•3mo ago

The bot is being ran though I had to manually run deploy-commands so the slash commands would register. Are you saying that it's intended to be like that?

treble/luna•3mo ago

yes thats why its a separate file to avoid running it every time your bots starts

Anarchy•3mo ago

Ohhhhhh Interesting, I didn't realize that's how it worked.
