DM bot not raising messageCreate event

[SpydaBeast]

Part of the guide or code sample the question is about

index.js

const fs = require('node:fs');
const path = require('node:path');
const { Client, GatewayIntentBits, Partials } = require('discord.js');
require('dotenv').config();
const client = new Client({
	intents:
		[
			GatewayIntentBits.Guilds,
			GatewayIntentBits.GuildMessages,
			GatewayIntentBits.MessageContent,
			GatewayIntentBits.GuildMessageReactions,
			GatewayIntentBits.GuildMessageTyping,
			GatewayIntentBits.DirectMessages,
			GatewayIntentBits.DirectMessageReactions,
			GatewayIntentBits.DirectMessageTyping,
		],
	partials: [
		Partials.Message,
		Partials.Channel,
	],
});

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

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

// Login to Discord with your client's token
client.login(process.env.BOT_TOKEN);

messageCreate.js

const { ChannelType } = require('discord.js');


module.exports = {
	name: 'messageCreate',
	execute(message) {
		if (message.channel.type === ChannelType.DM) {
			console.log('in DM');
		}
	},
};

Question

I'm having trouble getting DM message to work as expected. My messages in other channels work...

For example: this works as expected in 'Text Channels'

module.exports = {
	name: 'messageCreate',
	execute(message) {
		if (message.mentions.users.first().username === 'ExampleBot') {
			console.log('This works in any text channel');
		}
	},
};

My question/story is:
As a... guild member
I would like to... send a DM to bot
So that... bot console.log('in DM'); returns "in DM"

When I run this my original messageCreate.js from the code section of this post. I don't receive any error in the console and console doesn't log any messages.

How do I acheive this?
What should I check next?
