messageCreate.js not working

Please note I am using a slash command, command and event handler. 
//messageCreate.js
require('dotenv').config();
module.exports = {
    name: 'messageCreate',
    execute(message, client){
        const prefix = process.env.PREFIX;
        console.log('Message')
        if(!message.content.startsWith(prefix) || message.author.bot) return;
        const args = message.content.slice(prefix.length).split(/ +/);
        const cmd = args.shift().toLowerCase();
        const command = client.commands.get(cmd) || client.commands.find(a => a.aliases && a.aliases.includes(cmd));
        if(command) command.execute(client, message, args);
    }
}
//messageCreate.js
require('dotenv').config();
module.exports = {
    name: 'messageCreate',
    execute(message, client){
        const prefix = process.env.PREFIX;
        console.log('Message')
        if(!message.content.startsWith(prefix) || message.author.bot) return;
        const args = message.content.slice(prefix.length).split(/ +/);
        const cmd = args.shift().toLowerCase();
        const command = client.commands.get(cmd) || client.commands.find(a => a.aliases && a.aliases.includes(cmd));
        if(command) command.execute(client, message, args);
    }
}
Event handler + client.events = new Collection: 
//inside index.js
const eventsPath = path.join(__dirname, 'Events');
const eventFiles = fs.readdirSync(eventsPath).filter(file => file.endsWith('.js'));

for (const file of eventFiles) {
    const event_filePath = path.join(eventsPath, file);
    const event = require(event_filePath);
    if (event.once) {
        client.once(event.name, (...args) => event.execute(...args));
    } else {
        client.on(event.name, (...args) => event.execute(...args));
    }
}
//inside index.js
const eventsPath = path.join(__dirname, 'Events');
const eventFiles = fs.readdirSync(eventsPath).filter(file => file.endsWith('.js'));

for (const file of eventFiles) {
    const event_filePath = path.join(eventsPath, file);
    const event = require(event_filePath);
    if (event.once) {
        client.once(event.name, (...args) => event.execute(...args));
    } else {
        client.on(event.name, (...args) => event.execute(...args));
    }
}

Tag suggestion for @PAdventures: • Websocket intents limit events and decrease memory usage: learn more • See what intents you need here

client isnt defined or rather the content of client isnt
PAdventures
PAdventuresOP•3y ago
execute(message, client, commands)?
chewie
chewie•3y ago
show how you pass client in other words your event handler
PAdventures

const eventsPath = path.join(__dirname, 'Events');
const eventFiles = fs.readdirSync(eventsPath).filter(file => file.endsWith('.js'));

for (const file of eventFiles) {
    const event_filePath = path.join(eventsPath, file);
    const event = require(event_filePath);
    if (event.once) {
        client.once(event.name, (...args) => event.execute(...args));
    } else {
        client.on(event.name, (...args) => event.execute(...args));
    }
}
const eventsPath = path.join(__dirname, 'Events');
const eventFiles = fs.readdirSync(eventsPath).filter(file => file.endsWith('.js'));

for (const file of eventFiles) {
    const event_filePath = path.join(eventsPath, file);

you are not passing client to the method either do that or just use message.client

k thanks for the help guys 
        .setDescription(`${message.author.user.tag} used **/${message.author.commandName}** in <#${message.author.channel.id}>`)
        .setDescription(`${message.author.user.tag} used **/${message.author.commandName}** in <#${message.author.channel.id}>`)
How do i get this to work? TypeError: Cannot read properties of undefined (reading 'tag')
chewie
chewie•3y ago
message.author is already a user and message.author.commandName doesnt exist
PAdventures
PAdventuresOP•3y ago
message.commandName?
chewie
chewie•3y ago
no why do you think that exists
PAdventures
PAdventuresOP•3y ago
how do get the name of the command that the message author used then?
chewie
chewie•3y ago
you parse it yourself thats why you shouldnt use message commands
