Failed to overwrite global application commands: Command name is invalid

Hello! I am having an incredibly frustrating time adding a new slash command to my bot. The command is fairly straight forward however when I try to start the bot I get the error in the title. I cannot for the life of me seem to work out why it should throw this error and was hoping to find some helpful advice here!

Solution:

I found the issue, its not only command names that need to be lowercase, its also argument names or option names too

I can't seem to be able to post my code here, maybe someone needs to reply first lol Thanks in advance for any and all help!

What’s the name of the file?

TasemuOP•2mo ago

RecruiterChannel.ts

Ben•2mo ago

A commands name can only have lowercase letters. You should probably set name to something other than just this.name since that will be RecruterChannel

TasemuOP•2mo ago

I'm logging the name and its recruiterchannel i believe the framework transforms it

Ben•2mo ago

Oh I didn’t know that. I’m not sure then

TasemuOP•2mo ago

Bummer but thanks 🙂 I'm so confused with this issue, nothing i see could be causing this error :/
