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

- What's your exact discord.js
npm list discord.js and node node -v version?

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.jsIf 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.
- 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 | hastebinPut 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

Well the index.js registers them so yeah i guess?

Shit... so maybe I'm just being rate limited by discord then?

Ok so like a /register command that pushes the registration through?

How would that script work, would it pretty much be the same as what I have in my index.js? I haven't touched scripts in package.json worried I'd mess it up lmao
Thanks, and yes I have. Now that I'm looking though the bot isnt actually starting
Let me remove the registration sequence and update it as a script and see if that fixes it
@sïř.jõ 🌈 I don't have a config.json, do i need to add one?

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
@sïř.jõ 🌈 The bot launches fine now 🙂
Only thing is, when i type 'npm run deploy' in the console it doesnt do anything
are you running this in a separate terminal?
Wdym? I'm just using the normal console
yeah thats doing nothing since your bot is running
You run that file on your local host
Since you only run it when you edit your commands
I think I understand but please explain cause I'm still learning lmao
You run the file on your computer, not on your host
How would that update the commands on the host though?
...
your host isn't discord
Your commands remain the same on discord
Unless you re-register them
I know.. 😂
I'm saying if I run the script on my local computer, how would it update on my online host (where the bot is hosted)
Your commands are updated on discord
Discord sends the updated data
Your execute method, or wherever you run your code is irrelevant to deployment, the only thing you send to discord is the data
If you update your execute method, you have to upload the updated code to your host
you only register command data
Not their logic
I’m still a bit confused but I’ll try work it out
Sorry lol
@treble/luna Okay I got it, appreciate the help everyone
