Can't get any of this to work.

[steerbjorn]

I have followed command-handling, creating commands and event-handling. It always ends up the same, my bot comes online but is unable to respond to any command.

The latest I tried was this:
https://github.com/discordjs/guide/blob/main/guide/interactions/registering-slash-commands.md

Please follow that guide to a note and tell me you can get it working.

[steerbjorn]

My bot has application.command rights

[steerbjorn]

Sure, here is the latest one I have by following https://github.com/discordjs/guide/blob/main/guide/interactions/registering-slash-commands.md

index.js

const fs = require('fs');
const { Client, Collection, Intents } = require('discord.js');
const { token } = require('./config.json');

const client = new Client({ intents: [Intents.FLAGS.GUILDS] });

client.commands = new Collection();
const commandFiles = fs.readdirSync('./commands').filter(file => file.endsWith('.js'));

for (const file of commandFiles) {
const command = require(./commands/${file});
client.commands.set(command.data.name, command);
}

client.once('ready', () => {
console.log('Ready!');
});

client.on('interactionCreate', async interaction => {
if (!interaction.isCommand()) return;

const command = client.commands.get(interaction.commandName);

if (!command) return;

try {
	await command.execute(interaction);
} catch (error) {
	console.error(error);
	await interaction.reply({ content: 'There was an error while executing this command!', ephemeral: true });
}

});

client.login(token);

deploy-commands.js

const fs = require('fs');
const { REST } = require('@discordjs/rest');
const { Routes } = require('discord-api-types/v9');
const { clientId, guildId, token } = require('./config.json');

const commands = [];
const commandFiles = fs.readdirSync('./commands').filter(file => file.endsWith('.js'));

for (const file of commandFiles) {
const command = require(./commands/${file});
commands.push(command.data.toJSON());
}

const rest = new REST({ version: '9' }).setToken(token);

(async () => {
try {
console.log('Started refreshing application (/) commands.');

	await rest.put(
		Routes.applicationGuildCommands(clientId, guildId),
		{ body: commands },
	);

	console.log('Successfully reloaded application (/) commands.');
} catch (error) {
	console.error(error);
}

})();

ping.js(under commands folder)

const { SlashCommandBuilder } = require('@discordjs/builders');

const data = new SlashCommandBuilder()
.setName('echo')
.setDescription('Replies with your input!')
.addStringOption(option =>
option.setName('input')
.setDescription('The input to echo back')
.setRequired(true));

[BenjammingKirby]

so what you're saying is this echo command, doesn't have an execute function?
also this is inside ping.js for some reason, i recommend you change that to avoid confusion

[steerbjorn]

yeah I made some changes in ping.js and wanted to change it back before sharing. let's pretend for now ping.js is called echo.js.

I'm not saying it doesnt have an execute function, only that whatever code I'm trying my bot doesnt respond to slash-commands.

[BenjammingKirby]

nowhere did your code did you actually show an execute function, and you're calling one here

await command.execute(interaction);

so of course i'll just assume that's the problem

[steerbjorn]

yes you are right, here is the ping.js found in the command-handler guide:

const { SlashCommandBuilder } = require('@discordjs/builders');

module.exports = {
data: new SlashCommandBuilder()
.setName('ping')
.setDescription('Replies with Pong!'),
async execute(interaction) {
return interaction.reply('Pong!');
},
};

all the same result unfortunately

[steerbjorn]

I have made a repository:
https://github.com/steerbjorn/discordCommands

I would greatly appreciate if someone could look at it and find out why my commands are not working.

[steerbjorn]

A config.json with your bot and server credentials would have to be added to the project ofc

[almeidx]

You're not executing the commands on the interactionCreate listener.

Given that you're attaching a commands property to your client, you can do something like this (replace the contents of your interactionCreate.js file with this):

module.exports = {
	name: 'interactionCreate',
	execute(interaction) {
		console.log(`${interaction.user.tag} in #${interaction.channel.name} triggered an interaction.`);

        if (interaction.isCommand()) {
          const command = interaction.client.commands.get(interaction.commandName);
          command?.execute(interaction);
        }
	},
};

[steerbjorn]

Thank you for the response. I still can't get it to work unfortunately. Maybe something is wrong in my deploy-commands? Not getting the rest.put to log into my console

[almeidx]

Did you execute the deploy-commands script? It's standalone, it doesn't run when you're running, for instance, node index.js or node ..

You have to run node deploy-commands.js, ideally before starting the bot itself (node index.js or node .)

[steerbjorn]

thought as much so I tried putting it in my index...stupid...
I will try this as soon as I get home, thank you

[steerbjorn]

Running node deploy-commands.js opens up a terminal for half a second, then closes.
I tried running it from command prompt instead of VS Code terminal. It gives me this:

[monbrey]

Well this is progress - your application id is incorrect. You appear to be using numbers instead of strings.

[steerbjorn]

And now it is working perfectly. Thank you very much!
