Error: ENOTDIR: not a directory, scandir 'C:\Users\k_der\developing\JS\bots\commands\ping.js'

Hi, so i'm making my first bot in JS. Now i want to deploy the slash commands inside the DIR commands. But it gives the error "Error: ENOTDIR: not a directory, scandir 'C:\Users\k_der\developing\JS\bots\commands\ping.js'" When i'm running deploy-commands.js. Who can help me? Script i use:

const { REST, Routes } = require('discord.js');
const { clientId, guildId, token } = require('./config.json');
const fs = require('node:fs');
const path = require('node:path');

const commands = [];
// Grab all the command files from the commands directory you created earlier
const foldersPath = path.join(__dirname, 'commands');
const commandFolders = fs.readdirSync(foldersPath);

for (const folder of commandFolders) {
    // Grab all the command files from the commands directory you created earlier
    const commandsPath = path.join(foldersPath, folder);
    const commandFiles = fs.readdirSync(commandsPath).filter(file => file.endsWith('.js'));
    
    // Grab the SlashCommandBuilder#toJSON() output of each command's data for deployment
    for (const file of commandFiles) {
        const filePath = path.join(commandsPath, file);
        const command = require(filePath);
        if ('data' in command && 'execute' in command) {
            commands.push(command.data.toJSON());
        } else {
            console.log(`[WARNING] The command at ${filePath} is missing a required "data" or "execute" property.`);
        }
    }
}

// Construct and prepare an instance of the REST module
const rest = new REST().setToken(token);

// and deploy your commands!

Kinect3000•14mo ago

You tried to call readdir on commands/ping.js, which is a file, not a directory

KelvinCodes•14mo ago

That part i get

KelvinCodes•14mo ago

But why does the official code do that? I got the deploy-commands.js from: https://discordjs.guide/creating-your-bot/command-deployment.html#global-commands

discord.js Guide

Imagine a guide... that explores the many possibilities for your discord.js bot.

KelvinCodes•14mo ago

Or need to be a folder inside the commands dir?

Kinect3000•14mo ago

The official guide doesn’t put commands into categories like that Or ig it does Thinkeng

KelvinCodes•14mo ago

That's why i'm a lil bit confused

Kinect3000•14mo ago

If you don’t want that, you can just reduce it to a single readdir Remove the const commands and for (const folder of …) and define const folder = "<the commands folder>"

KelvinCodes•14mo ago

I have also const commandsPath = path.join(foldersPath, folder); I think i can remove that also right? Because i dont need to join aditional folders

Kinect3000•14mo ago

Define the commands folder path there instead Remove the const folder That should work

KelvinCodes•14mo ago

Hmm okey!

KelvinCodes•14mo ago

I'm now getting another error "missing access" But i have enabled the "application.commands" scope and reinvited the Discord bot

Do you know what i can check more?

Kinect3000•14mo ago

Use the url that was generated and authorize the bot to the guild

KelvinCodes•14mo ago

I did do that xd

Kinect3000•14mo ago

Show bot in the integrations tab of the guild

KelvinCodes•14mo ago

I did kicked bot, copy this url in the browser

KelvinCodes•14mo ago

Kinect3000•14mo ago

Is the guild id correct?

KelvinCodes•14mo ago

Good one, gonna check

Kinect3000•14mo ago

It’s not common to have a guild id that starts w/ 00

KelvinCodes•14mo ago

Uhhm no 🥺 whoops That was the issue! Thank you so mutch! I did make that he goed trough every file tho, for ez use:

const { REST, Routes } = require('discord.js');
const fs = require('node:fs');
const path = require('node:path');

const commands = [];

const foldersPath = path.join(__dirname, 'commands');
const commandFiles = fs.readdirSync(foldersPath).filter(file => file.endsWith('.js'));


// Grab the SlashCommandBuilder#toJSON() output of each command's data for deployment
for (const file of commandFiles) {
    const filePath = path.join(foldersPath, file);
    const command = require(filePath);
    if ('data' in command && 'execute' in command) {
        commands.push(command.data.toJSON());
    } else {
        console.log(`[WARNING] The command at ${filePath} is missing a required "data" or "execute" property.`);
    }
}

// Construct and prepare an instance of the REST module
const rest = new REST().setToken("T");

// and deploy your commands!
(async () => {
    try {
        console.log(`Started refreshing ${commands.length} application (/) commands.`);

            Routes.applicationGuildCommands("1099710952766705794", "1002208148930691172"),
            { body: commands },
        );

    } catch (error) {
        // And of course, make sure you catch and log any errors!
        console.error(error);
    }
})();
