Sapphire - Imagine a framework•14mo ago

Absolutely nothing happens with basic text command

I followed the Getting Started and setting up a basic command steps to no avail, I simply see 'took 0ms to initialize' and running '@<the bot> ping' does nothing. main is set to dist/index.js and I'm using TS if that affects anything.

The bot does come online on Discord package.json

    }
}

Added a ready listener -- it does in fact log in as I expected File structure as well:

[logn@spelling-is-fun no]$ tree src
src
├── commands
│   └── ping.ts
├── index.ts
└── listeners
    └── ready.ts

[logn@spelling-is-fun no]$ tree src
src
├── commands
│   └── ping.ts
├── index.ts
└── listeners
    └── ready.ts

A console.log in the ping command constructor fires, but not in the messageRun when ran Slash command works

- Which version of @sapphire/framework are you using? - What's your file/folder structure? - Did you use the CLI to generate your bot? - What's your "main" property in package.json - Are you using TypeScript? And if so, how are you compiling and running your code? That is to say, what are your build and startup scripts? - In case you are using version 3.0.0 or higher of @sapphire/framework, and your problem related to message commands, did you add loadMessageCommandListeners to your SapphireClient options Remember that if you are new to @sapphire/framework it is important that you read the user guide.

Favna•14mo ago

^ last point

log(n)•14mo ago

Should that not be pointed out in the guide?

Favna•14mo ago

it should yes, blame @const name = args.pick('sean'); whose been promising to make a PR for weeks angery

Sean•14mo ago

I was working on it last night... a first draft is almost done but conventional commits really annoyed me last night

Favna•14mo ago

chore: do work not like it really matters, it gets squashed anyway and the PR title is used

Sean•14mo ago

It wont let me commit even to my own fork without it following the standard lol.

Favna•14mo ago

well yeah that's what git hooks are for commitlint runs on your machine, not GH

Sean•14mo ago

I know

log(n)•14mo ago

--no-verify

Favna•14mo ago

^ or that yeah

log(n)•14mo ago

i always have to repeat to myself git commit --no-verify --no-gpg-sign (my gpg key is expired and i don't wanna fix that rn)

Favna•14mo ago

-n is short for --no-verify fyi

log(n)•14mo ago

IT IS?

Favna•14mo ago

yes

log(n)•14mo ago

is there one for --no-gpg-sign? man page should answer that anyways thank you @Favna

Favna•14mo ago

https://git-scm.com/docs/git-commit#:~:text=By%20default%2C%20the%20pre%2Dcommit%20and I mean no but you could just disable it in git config and next time generate a gpg key that doesnt expire

log(n)•14mo ago

bad no my master key has a while on it

Favna•14mo ago

expiring gpg keys arent worth it for git commits. It's not that important for them to expire. It's not like you're sending encrypted files.

log(n)•14mo ago

i just need to re-generate my new subkeys

Favna•14mo ago

I dont even bother with separate subkeys

log(n)•14mo ago

i use pgp for stuff other than git, so i care about it

Favna•14mo ago

fair
