Registration Request on Startup

I've asked AI as well and for some reason my bot just isn't launching properly. I'm not sure if it's related to discord.js but I'm learning so I might just be stupid. Below is my debug from the console output [DEBUG] Initializing Discord REST client... [DEBUG] Connecting to MongoDB... Connected to MongoDB [DEBUG] Loading commands... [DEBUG] Loading commands from: /home/container/commands [DEBUG] Found command files: aea.js, probationList.js, profile.js, recruit.js, stafftickets.js, training.js [DEBUG] Loading command file: aea.js [DEBUG] Registering command: aea Successfully loaded command: aea [DEBUG] Loading command file: probationList.js [DEBUG] Registering command: probation Successfully loaded command: probation [DEBUG] Loading command file: profile.js [DEBUG] Registering command: profile Successfully loaded command: profile [DEBUG] Loading command file: recruit.js [DEBUG] Registering command: recruit Successfully loaded command: recruit [DEBUG] Loading command file: stafftickets.js [DEBUG] Registering command: ticket Successfully loaded command: ticket [DEBUG] Loading command file: training.js [DEBUG] Registering command: training Successfully loaded command: training [DEBUG] Loaded 6 commands.

Well that's the thing, I'm not 100% sure. The bot launched fine a day or two ago, then I added a few commands and updated the index.js, and now it just isn't launching properly. [DEBUG] Sending registration request to Discord... it just gets stuck here, when it's fully launched it's meant to say 'Logged into 13th MEU#XXXX' but it doesn't, and my new commands arent registering properly, specifically my promote.js I'm not sure if it's an issue with my index.js or my promote.js

If you aren't getting any errors, try to place console.log checkpoints throughout your code to find out where execution stops. - Once you do, log relevant values and if-conditions - More sophisticated debugging methods are breakpoints and runtime inspections: learn more Please add the following code to your code base outside of any other event listeners and provide the full log output relevant to your issue.

client
    .on("debug", console.log)
    .on("warn", console.log)

client
    .on("debug", console.log)
    .on("warn", console.log)

- Note: if you initialize your Client as bot or other identifiers you need to use these instead of client - If the output is too long to post consider using a bin instead: gist | paste.gg | sourceb.in | hastebin

Put this into my index.js, still getting the same output no changes

Is this referencing just within index.js or more-so in every file (commands, models, utils etc)

It's functional for all my previous commands, but for the new one promote.js , it just isn't showing up And the reason I thought it was related to index.js is because before (and still) it's meant to send the output Logged in As 13th MEU#xxxx but it doesn't and the last output is it trying to register a request with discord But yes, when i launch it, everything else works except the new command, just a bit confused so I thought I'd ask here

Let me remove the registration sequence and update it as a script and see if that fixes it

No you're all good, let me do this script and remove the registration from index.js and ill see if that allows the bot to launch properly, i have restarted the BOT A LOT so it couldnt legimately just be rate limitting So do i just put this script below into the 'scripts' section of package.json ? Its saying to create a deploy-commands.js , so which one do i do?

if you've already setup your entire logic to register commands on start, you could add an if check for an env variable, like REGISTER_COMMANDS or something or some command line variable that's what I personally do, specially helps if you have user-configured commands

VeebSOP•20h ago

@sïř.jõ 🌈 The bot launches fine now 🙂 Only thing is, when i type 'npm run deploy' in the console it doesnt do anything

treble/luna•20h ago

are you running this in a separate terminal?

VeebSOP•20h ago

Wdym? I'm just using the normal console
