Node.js bot start issues.

When I try running my node index1.js (yes there is a 1), I just get a reply with big green letters saying “MODULE_NOT_FOUND”.

If the module isn't found then you install that module Would suggest to read djs guide to get a working bot up

I think I might know how to fix Ok nevermind my fix didn’t fix it Yes give me one second please.

And two general things: - You don't need to do client.on('messageCreate', ...) for every command. That can get very bad for performance. Instead just put it all in one:
client.on('messageCreate', async (message) => {
if (message.content === '/hello') {
return message.reply('Hello!')
}

if (message.content === '/goodnight') {
return message.reply('Goodnight! Sleep tight! Do not let Shxdow bite!')
}

if (message.content === '*ping') {
return message.reply('Pong!')
}

if (message.content === '!dev') {
return message.reply('The developer of this bot is Shxdowツ#3697')
}

if (message.content === '/invite') {
return message.reply('https://discord.com/api/oauth2/authorize?client_id=1061187877431689298&permissions=8&scope=bot%20applications.commands')
}

if (message.content === '/commands') {
return message.reply('/hello, /goodnight, *ping, !dev, /invite')
}
})
client.on('messageCreate', async (message) => {
if (message.content === '/hello') {
return message.reply('Hello!')
}

if (message.content === '/goodnight') {
return message.reply('Goodnight! Sleep tight! Do not let Shxdow bite!')
}

if (message.content === '*ping') {
return message.reply('Pong!')
}

if (message.content === '!dev') {
return message.reply('The developer of this bot is Shxdowツ#3697')
}

if (message.content === '/invite') {
return message.reply('https://discord.com/api/oauth2/authorize?client_id=1061187877431689298&permissions=8&scope=bot%20applications.commands')
}

if (message.content === '/commands') {
return message.reply('/hello, /goodnight, *ping, !dev, /invite')
}
})
- Second, if you're using a prefix of /, why don't you just use slash commands?
Shxdow ツ
Shxdow ツ2y ago
What about slash commands?
Lioness100
Lioness1002y ago
Chances are you're using an absolute path instead of a relative one to execute the files. So instead of "index1.js in this folder", the system is understanding "index.js in the base file of the computer (or your user)" So please show what command you used to start the bot
Shxdow ツ
Shxdow ツ2y ago
node index1.js
Lioness100
Lioness1002y ago
You're in the wrong folder in the terminal, then What is the path to the folder where index1.js is? For example, C:\Users\kodel\code\something\other\index1.js?

That's fine, but I strongly strongly recommend you go by the discord.js guide: https://discordjs.guide/

don't tag her with all reply please. She will reply at her ease. You're not having package.json and other things

sorry 🤷‍♂️

So just follow the guide step by step and you will be fine
Shxdow ツ
Shxdow ツ2y ago
I did

I doubt
Shxdow ツ

I simply cannot get it to start
Photon
Photon2y ago
are you using vsc?
Shxdow ツ
Shxdow ツ2y ago
yes
Lioness100
Lioness1002y ago
It would be a good idea to create a new folder for the bot to keep everything organized As Priyam mentioned, it doesn't look like you have a package.json, lock file, or node_modules
Shxdow ツ
Shxdow ツ2y ago
I have a package.json
{

ls displays every file/subfolder in a folder, and the package.json isn't shown. Is it in a different folder?
Shxdow ツ
Shxdow ツ2y ago
its in the same folder as index1.js I put it all in 1 folder
Lioness100
Lioness1002y ago
Run cat package.json and screenshot the response please
Shxdow ツ
Shxdow ツ2y ago
Lioness100
Lioness1002y ago
package1.json is different from package.json. The naming is required to be exact
Shxdow ツ
Shxdow ツ2y ago
yes I know my file is package1.json not package.json
Lioness100
Lioness1002y ago
I'm saying that to run node, the file has to be called package.json
Shxdow ツ
Shxdow ツ2y ago
how do I change it I can't right click on the file in vsc
Lioness100
Lioness1002y ago
Please screenshot the file structure on vsc
Lioness100
Lioness1002y ago
this stuff
Photon
Photon2y ago
You are fast in sending 😛
Shxdow ツ
Shxdow ツ2y ago
Lioness100
Lioness1002y ago
Ok, so it doesn't look like the files are in C:\Users\kodel as you said, but instead some folder in AppData So: - you have to be in the same folder in the terminal as those files to run the bot - package1.json and package-lock1.json cannot have the "1" to be recognized by node - .env1.txt won't be recognized by dotenv, you have to call it .env
Shxdow ツ
Shxdow ツ2y ago
I took my best guess with what file because I am totally new to coding and I didn't understand half of what you said
Lioness100
Lioness1002y ago
From the name in the package1.json, I'm guessing you followed a guide on youtube or copied code from github?
Shxdow ツ
Shxdow ツ2y ago
yes
Lioness100
Lioness1002y ago
I'd recommend using the official guide, the one I linked above
Shxdow ツ
Shxdow ツ2y ago
how do I change the names of the files though?
Lioness100
Lioness1002y ago
right click them
Shxdow ツ
Shxdow ツ2y ago
Shxdow ツ
Shxdow ツ2y ago
that is the right click box 🤷‍♂️
Lioness100
Lioness1002y ago
But honestly I'd recommend just copying the contents of index1.js and start over using the official guide, because you're in a bit of a disorganization right now Don't click it on the top, click it on the side where you screenshotted
Lioness100
Lioness1002y ago
not here
Lioness100
Lioness1002y ago
here
Shxdow ツ
Shxdow ツ2y ago
I clicked on one of the files (on the side) I have to go I'll be back later
Lioness100
Lioness1002y ago
It might be a permission issue if vscode doesn't have permission to delete files Idk how you have everything set up, I'd generally recommend official guides over others, because they're much more reputable, and it's easier for people to help you if they know that you're setup is reliable
Krish
Krish2y ago
didn't read everything but I guess you did something wrong in line 2
- require('dotenv/config');
- require('dotenv').config();
- require('dotenv/config');
- require('dotenv').config();
Lioness100
Lioness1002y ago
that's not wrong actually, dotenv/config is a valid entrypoint I use it my bot too, I forget what version it was introduced in but it's relatively recent It's just a shortcut if you have no parameters to add in to the config call, which also means it's usable in the start command (node -r dotenv/config index.js)

Lioness1002y ago
Nevermind lol, it's been a thing since 2015 idk why I thought it was recent
Krish
Krish2y ago
lol whaaa why is that inside AppData pepeSweat that happens for untrusted folders
Lioness100
Lioness1002y ago
That makes sense if it's in AppData Maybe also why PowerShell wouldn't cat it? But idk PowerShell or if OP was in the right directory anyways So @Shxdow ツ, when you get back, move the folder with these files out of appdata
Shxdow ツ
Shxdow ツ2y ago
Ok Thank you so much Lioness I figured it out because of you! But I still can't run it because apparently Discord.js isn't installed on Node.js ?
Lioness100
Lioness1002y ago
Run npm i and try again. If that doesn't work, please show your files again like this
Shxdow ツ
Shxdow ツ2y ago
want me to show you the error message I get when I run that?
Lioness100
Lioness1002y ago
Yes
Shxdow ツ
Shxdow ツ2y ago
Lioness100
Lioness1002y ago
I think it's because of the restricted permission on a base user folder. You'll have to put those 4 files in a new folder Like, C:\Users\kodel\discord-bot\
Shxdow ツ
Shxdow ツ2y ago
ok so I made the folder C:\Users\kodel\shxdow-bot. Just move all of the files there? and what command to run, node shxdow-bot?
Lioness100
Lioness1002y ago
Move all the files there, then run cd shxdow-bot, which will move which folder you're in from the terminal, then run npm i, and then run node index.js
Shxdow ツ
Shxdow ツ2y ago
ok thanks
Shxdow ツ
Shxdow ツ2y ago
I really appreciate your help so here is the bio of my bot (I will remove if you want).

Whatever lol, just run npm i dotenv and it will work As long as the .env file is in there somewhere too

one line but I removed it and now I get this

Shxdow ツ
Shxdow ツ2y ago
this is my index.js file or folder rather

What's in the .env
Shxdow ツ

TOKEN=(bot token)

oh fuck me

Lioness1002y ago
What's your thing with ones KEKW
Shxdow ツ
Shxdow ツ2y ago
its a long story lol I forgot I reset the bot token as well hahahahaha lemme fix that and it should hopefully work
Lioness100
Lioness1002y ago
Out of curiosity, are you doing this just to make a bot, or do you want to learn to code too?
Shxdow ツ
Shxdow ツ2y ago
both 😄 we have a problem when I reset the token it just says the same token as before
Lioness100
Lioness1002y ago
In that case, I'd recommend you: - start following official guides over YouTube videos - stop copying code if you don't know how it works - learn to Google your errors before asking someone else for help
Shxdow ツ
Shxdow ツ2y ago
I want to make a bot first, then I will actually learn to code 😅 thank you .
Lioness100
Lioness1002y ago
Like, you reset the token on the discord portal, and when you copy the new one, it's the same?
Shxdow ツ
Shxdow ツ2y ago
yes
Lioness100
Lioness1002y ago
Then just use that one
Shxdow ツ
Shxdow ツ2y ago
but it says invalid token when I paste it in VSC and run node index.js
Lioness100
Lioness1002y ago
Idk how to help you, I guess just make sure you're actually resetting it and you're actually copying the new one
Shxdow ツ
Shxdow ツ2y ago
erm question
Lioness100
Lioness1002y ago
That's what I did too, but it will very much be easier if you put some effort into understanding the programming language and library

Before you make a Discord Bot, you should have a good understanding of JavaScript. This means you should have a basic understanding of the following topics: - Read and understand docs - Debug code - Syntax - NodeJS module system If you aren't sure that your understanding of JavaScript is truly good enough to make a bot, you should really try to continue learning first. Here are good resources to learn both Javascript and NodeJS: Codecademy: https://www.codecademy.com/learn/javascript Udemy: https://www.udemy.com/javascript-essentials/ Eloquent JavaScript, free book: http://eloquentjavascript.net/ You-Dont-Know-JS: https://github.com/getify/You-Dont-Know-JS JavaScript Garden: https://bonsaiden.github.io/JavaScript-Garden/ JavaScript reference/docs: https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/JavaScript/Reference Nodeschool: https://nodeschool.io/ Pluralsight: https://www.codeschool.com/courses/real-time-web-with-node-js Before you ask a question, you should ask these yourself: 1) Is this question related to JavaScript, or the library I am using? - If it is the library you are using, go to the proper server. You would get better answers there. 2) Have I tried to google and / or check StackOverflow? - Double check that you can't find anywhere that can lead you to a solution online. 3) Have I tried to look on MDN or the library documentation? - You should always check documentations to make sure you aren't missing how any details. 4) Does my question make enough sense so that people can understand it, and do they understand what I am trying to accomplish? - If no, revise your question. Give as much detail as possible. Include any error or code output that can help us help you. 5) Am I aware of what I am doing, and not just mindlessly copy and pasting? - If you are just copy and pasting code from a guide, you are not going to be able to solve anything. Make sure you understand the code you are writing.

if I were to create a new bot with a different token and put that as the token will that be a different bot (meaning if the token is glitched I can just create the same bot with a valid token will it do anything with the code)

Yes But I really doubt the token is "glitched"

the first line you have there was suggested by a person in another server... the second line is to run the env file
Lioness100

OK, well fix it by replace both of those lines with just client.login (process.env.TOKEN))

5) Am I aware of what I am doing, and not just mindlessly copy and pasting? - If you are just copy and pasting code from a guide, you are not going to be able to solve anything. Make sure you understand the code you are writing.
hint: this is why

Above client.login(process.env.TOKEN), create a new line and write console.log(process.env.TOKEN), currently, the error is saying that either process.env.TOKEN is undefined or isn't a string, so just log it to console to see exactly what it is

💀 I might have a fix hold up nvrm I figured if I added var in front it might work but no
Lioness100
Lioness1002y ago
If you want a quick and dirty fix, just replace process.env.TOKEN with your actual token, skip the step of using a .env file, and just don't share the code
Shxdow ツ
Shxdow ツ2y ago
🎉 I wasn't going to either way hahahaha put ' or no?
Lioness100
Lioness1002y ago
yes
Shxdow ツ
Shxdow ツ2y ago
'token'
Lioness100
Lioness1002y ago
all strings need to have quotes around them
Shxdow ツ
Shxdow ツ2y ago
inside () lol
Lioness100
Lioness1002y ago
I wasn't joking lol
Shxdow ツ
Shxdow ツ2y ago
that is why it wasn't working before I didn't have '' around the token after TOKEN: I had TOKEN=ndhua7**&^jy
Lioness100
Lioness1002y ago
ah
Shxdow ツ
Shxdow ツ2y ago
it should be TOKEN:'jshyujsgjh' yes?
Lioness100
Lioness1002y ago
the quotes don't apply for .env
Shxdow ツ
Shxdow ツ2y ago
oh lol
Lioness100
Lioness1002y ago
Also it's a "=", not ":"
Shxdow ツ
Shxdow ツ2y ago
typo mb I had = in the env oh fuck me when I replace the process.env.TOKEN and put '0te81u7hj' this is the message I get when I run node index.js

Lioness100
Lioness1002y ago
discord.js Guide
Imagine a guide... that explores the many possibilities for your discord.js bot.
Shxdow ツ
Shxdow ツ2y ago
ty ❤️
Lioness100
Lioness1002y ago
you should put that code in the ready event
Shxdow ツ
Shxdow ツ2y ago
what is the ready event? 💀
Lioness100
Lioness1002y ago
(because you can only set the status after the bot finished logging in) just read read the guide from the beginning please
client.on('ready', async () => {
console.log('The bot is ready')
})
client.on('ready', async () => {
console.log('The bot is ready')
})
this is your ready event By "put code in there", I mean:
client.on('ready', async () => {
console.log('this code is in here')
console.log('The bot is ready')
})
client.on('ready', async () => {
console.log('this code is in here')
console.log('The bot is ready')
})
Shxdow ツ
Shxdow ツ2y ago
ok so the code to add the custom status is 'this code is in here'?
Lioness100
Lioness1002y ago
no that's a console.log function, which logs strings or objects or things to the terminal
Shxdow ツ
Shxdow ツ2y ago
right so put my whole code in the console? 💀
Lioness100
Lioness1002y ago
no, that was just an example line of code
Shxdow ツ
Shxdow ツ2y ago
lol
Lioness100
Lioness1002y ago
client.on('ready', async () => {
client.user.setStatusOrWhaterveraefhdn()
console.log('The bot is ready')
})
client.on('ready', async () => {
client.user.setStatusOrWhaterveraefhdn()
console.log('The bot is ready')
})
Shxdow ツ
Shxdow ツ2y ago
I can't type in the terminal now @Lioness100 sorry for ping -_-
Lioness100
Lioness1002y ago
that's because the bot process is running
Shxdow ツ
Shxdow ツ2y ago
how do I stop it?
Lioness100
Lioness1002y ago
you can either press Ctrl+C, which will stop the bot so you can use the terminal for other things or create a new terminal, which you can do with the plus button or with Ctrl+Shift+`
Shxdow ツ
Shxdow ツ2y ago
ty Thank you so very much Lioness! yay I had another pre-coded bot awhile back and now I got dev badge from it it was literally "paste your token here and get a free bot" boom (not this bot an old one)
