Slash commands not being created

I have multiple slash commands that wont be create for some reason, and I have no Idea how to fix it, heres my code that sets it up:

const { Client, Events, GatewayIntentBits, ActivityType, SlashCommandBuilder } = require('discord.js');
const client = new Client({ intents: [GatewayIntentBits.Guilds, GatewayIntentBits.GuildMessages, GatewayIntentBits.GuildMembers, GatewayIntentBits.GuildPresences, GatewayIntentBits.GuildMessageReactions, GatewayIntentBits.MessageContent] });
client.setMaxListeners(20);

const { setupRules } = require('./rules');
const { setupAutoResponders } = require('./autoresponders');
const { setupRoles } = require('./roles');
const { setupWelcome } = require('./welcome');
const { setupGoodbye } = require('./leave');
const { setupBoost } = require('./boost');
const { setupTickets } = require('./tickets');
const { setupAffiliates } = require('./affiliates');
const { setupStarBoard } = require('./starboard');
const { setupClownBoard } = require('./clownboard')
const { setupEmbeds } = require('./embeds')
const { setupLevels } = require('./levelup')
const { setupColors } = require('./colors')
// Specify the role ID that users must have to use the commands
const requiredRoleID = '1302436968633864242'; // Replace with your actual role ID

client.on(Events.GuildMemberAdd, member => {
        setupWelcome(member);
});

client.on(Events.GuildMemberRemove, member => {
        setupGoodbye(member);
});

client.on(Events.ClientReady, (x) => {
    console.log(`${x.user.tag} is ready!`);
    client.user.setPresence({
        activities: [{ name: `.gg/agu`, type: ActivityType.Listening }],
        status: 'online',
    });
});

const { Client, Events, GatewayIntentBits, ActivityType, SlashCommandBuilder } = require('discord.js');
const client = new Client({ intents: [GatewayIntentBits.Guilds, GatewayIntentBits.GuildMessages, GatewayIntentBits.GuildMembers, GatewayIntentBits.GuildPresences, GatewayIntentBits.GuildMessageReactions, GatewayIntentBits.MessageContent] });
client.setMaxListeners(20);

const { setupRules } = require('./rules');
const { setupAutoResponders } = require('./autoresponders');
const { setupRoles } = require('./roles');
const { setupWelcome } = require('./welcome');
const { setupGoodbye } = require('./leave');
const { setupBoost } = require('./boost');
const { setupTickets } = require('./tickets');
const { setupAffiliates } = require('./affiliates');
const { setupStarBoard } = require('./starboard');
const { setupClownBoard } = require('./clownboard')
const { setupEmbeds } = require('./embeds')
const { setupLevels } = require('./levelup')
const { setupColors } = require('./colors')
// Specify the role ID that users must have to use the commands
const requiredRoleID = '1302436968633864242'; // Replace with your actual role ID

client.on(Events.GuildMemberAdd, member => {
        setupWelcome(member);
});

client.on(Events.GuildMemberRemove, member => {
        setupGoodbye(member);
});

client.on(Events.ClientReady, (x) => {
    console.log(`${x.user.tag} is ready!`);
    client.user.setPresence({
        activities: [{ name: `.gg/agu`, type: ActivityType.Listening }],
        status: 'online',
    });
});

heres the rest of it:

const setupFunctions = [
    setupRules, 
    setupAutoResponders, 
    setupRoles, 
    setupBoost, 
    setupTickets, 
    setupAffiliates,
    setupEmbeds,
    setupLevels,
    setupColors,
    // Pass the parameters to setup Boards using an anonymous function
    () => setupStarBoard(client, '1262971002225430639', ':star:', 3), // Replace with your actual channel ID
    () => setupClownBoard(client, '1301683483336507402', ':clown:', 3)
];

setupFunctions.forEach(setupFunction => {
    client.on(Events.ClientReady, () => {
        // Call the setup function
        setupFunction(client);
    });
});


client.login('token');

there's nothing registering commands in any of that code

Sincerely, alxx ᴬᴳOP•3mo ago

As in I cant just make the slash commands in the required files? such as:

const { setupRules } = require('./rules');

const { setupRules } = require('./rules');

the .rules is a .js file in the code and it has all the slash commands inside it but its not setting it up?

Amgelo•3mo ago

it depends on what you mean by "setting it up"

Sincerely, alxx ᴬᴳOP•3mo ago

like in the ./rules it has:

client.on(Events.ClientReady, () => {
        const memberRules = new SlashCommandBuilder()
            .setName('member_rules')
            .setDescription('This command sends the member rules.')
            .addStringOption(option =>
                option
                    .setName('embeds')
                    .setDescription('Which rule embed do you want to send?')
                    .setRequired(true)
                    .addChoices(
                        { name: 'Headers', value: 'member_headers' },
                        { name: 'Warning System', value: 'member_warning_system' },
                        { name: 'Reporting System', value: 'member_reporting_system' },
                        { name: 'Guidelines', value: 'member_guidelines' },
                        { name: 'Server Rules', value: 'member_server_rules' },
                        { name: 'VC Rules', value: 'member_vc_rules' },
                        { name: 'Text Channel Rules', value: 'member_text_channel_rules' },
                    )
            );

        const staffRules = new SlashCommandBuilder()
            .setName('staff_rules')
            .setDescription('This command sends the staff rules.')
            .addStringOption(option =>
                option
                    .setName('embeds')
                    .setDescription('Which rule embed do you want to send?')

                        { name: 'Punishments', value: 'staff_guidelines' },
                        { name: 'Punishments', value: 'staff_rules' }
                    )
            );

        client.application.commands.create(memberRules);
        client.application.commands.create(staffRules);
    });

client.on(Events.ClientReady, () => {
        const memberRules = new SlashCommandBuilder()

                        { name: 'Reporting System', value: 'member_reporting_system' },
                        { name: 'Guidelines', value: 'member_guidelines' },
                        { name: 'Server Rules', value: 'member_server_rules' },
                        { name: 'VC Rules', value: 'member_vc_rules' },

                    )
            );

        const staffRules = new SlashCommandBuilder()

                        { name: 'Headers', value: 'staff_headers' },
                        { name: 'Punishments', value: 'staff_punishments' },
                        { name: 'Punishments', value: 'staff_guidelines' },
                        { name: 'Punishments', value: 'staff_rules' }
                    )
            );

        client.application.commands.create(memberRules);
        client.application.commands.create(staffRules);
    });

does that not set/register it already?

Amgelo•3mo ago

well that should show them in discord, assuming that's actually called somewhere

Sincerely, alxx ᴬᴳOP•3mo ago

uh more explanation on the "called somewhere"?

Amgelo•3mo ago

you can place some logs to see if that's called you need that code to be called somewhere or well, to execute at all node won't just read all your files and execute every .js it encounters given you're using client there then I assume that's inside a function of some sort that's being called by index, passing the client ^^

duck•3mo ago

I also worry that when you say this is in ./rules, that means with the following, you're adding a ClientReady listener when ClientReady is emitted

const { setupRules } = require('./rules');
client.on(Events.ClientReady, () => {
    // Call the setup function
    setupFunction(client);
});

const { setupRules } = require('./rules');
client.on(Events.ClientReady, () => {
    // Call the setup function
    setupFunction(client);
});

Sincerely, alxx ᴬᴳOP•3mo ago

yes I use it in a function such as:

function setupRules(client) {

}

function setupRules(client) {

}

with all the code between and at the end export it and import it into index.js

module.exports = { setupRules };

module.exports = { setupRules };

so what should I do about that?

Amgelo•3mo ago

if you're registering your ready event listener after it has been emitted then those listeners will never be triggered because ready only triggers once

duck•3mo ago

honestly I'd suggest reorganizing and consolidating all of your event listeners into 1 listener per event so that it's less confusing about what executes when

Amgelo•3mo ago

just don't listen to ready inside those setup functions do your setup directly there pretty sure that'll error the second boot though since iirc application.commands.create throws an error if the command already exists

duck•3mo ago

(it doesn't, it just edits the command)

Amgelo•3mo ago

ah, mb then still, don't register commands in ready it's more recommended to only register when your command's datas actually change you can reach the daily command register limit if you keep doing it on ready

Sincerely, alxx ᴬᴳOP•3mo ago

sorry back! Hm so how should I rewrite the code, I am still pretty new to this

duck•3mo ago

instead of multiple listeners per event, just have 1 per event then delegate work from there

Sincerely, alxx ᴬᴳOP•3mo ago

Hmm okay ty, I'll see if i can

Amgelo•3mo ago

I mean it's just removing the wrap on client.on() just call your setups directly don't make them listen to ready

Sincerely, alxx ᴬᴳOP•3mo ago

okayy ty thank you both, it made my code less messy but my commandds still dont get created nvmm it worked tysmm
