Unexpected string in JSON

I'm trying to create discord bot that can show an output by slash command but the code couldn't run. App used: Replit. Here's the code: index.js

const fs = require("node:fs");
const path = require("node:path");
const { Client, Collection, Events, GatewayIntentBits } = require("discord.js");
const { token } = require("./config.json");

const client = new Client({ intents: [GatewayIntentBits.Guilds] });

client.commands = new Collection();

const commandsPath = path.join(__dirname, "Commands");
const commandFiles = fs.readdirSync(commandsPath).filter(file => file.endsWith(".js"));

for (const file of commandFiles) {
    const filePath = path.join(commandsPath, file);
    const command = require(filePath);
    if ("data" in command && "execute" in command) {
        client.commands.set(command.data.name, command);
    } else {
        console.log(`[WARNING] The command at ${filePath} is missing a required "data" or "execute" property.`);
    }
}

client.on(Events.InteractionCreate, interaction => {
    console.log(interaction);
});

client.on(Events.InteractionCreate, interaction => {
    if (!interaction.isChatInputCommand()) return;
    console.log(interaction);
});

client.on(Events.InteractionCreate, async interaction => {
    if (!interaction.isChatInputCommand()) return;

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

    if (!command) {
        console.error(`No command matching ${interaction.commandName} was found.`);
        return;
    }

    try {
        await command.execute(interaction);
    } catch (error) {
        console.error(error);
        if (interaction.replied || interaction.deferred) {
            await interaction.followUp({ content: "There's an error while executing this command!", ephemeral: true });
        } else {
            await interaction.reply({ content: "There's an error while executing this command!", ephemeral: true });
        }
    }
});

const fs = require("node:fs");
const path = require("node:path");
const { Client, Collection, Events, GatewayIntentBits } = require("discord.js");
const { token } = require("./config.json");

const client = new Client({ intents: [GatewayIntentBits.Guilds] });

const commandsPath = path.join(__dirname, "Commands");

    const filePath = path.join(commandsPath, file);
    const command = require(filePath);
    if ("data" in command && "execute" in command) {
        client.commands.set(command.data.name, command);
    } else {
        console.log(`[WARNING] The command at ${filePath} is missing a required "data" or "execute" property.`);
    }
}

client.on(Events.InteractionCreate, interaction => {
    console.log(interaction);
});

client.on(Events.InteractionCreate, interaction => {
    if (!interaction.isChatInputCommand()) return;
    console.log(interaction);
});

client.on(Events.InteractionCreate, async interaction => {
    if (!interaction.isChatInputCommand()) return;

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

    if (!command) {
        console.error(`No command matching ${interaction.commandName} was found.`);
        return;
    }

    try {
        await command.execute(interaction);
    } catch (error) {

    }
});

• What's your exact discord.js npm list discord.js and node node -v version? • Post the full error stack trace, not just the top part! • Show your code! • Explain what exactly your issue is. • Not a discord.js issue? Check out #useful-servers.

You say that it "couldn't run" but that's not very specific What's happening in your terminal?

Nirel•12mo ago

hold on config.json

{
    "token": "token"
  "clientId": "cID",
  "guildId": "gID"
}

{
    "token": "token"
  "clientId": "cID",
  "guildId": "gID"
}

Error message

Squid•12mo ago

So the error comes 100% from your config.json not being in valid JSON format From the redacted version you sent here, you're missing a comma after the first key-value pair

Nirel•12mo ago

Fixed brb There's no error message rn, but the run button turn back to run once I clicked it (app used: replit)

Squid•12mo ago

Are you ever calling client.login(token)? It's not in the code that you sent

Nirel•12mo ago

wait, lemme check Should it be placed in index.js?

Squid•12mo ago

Yes, that's what the guide says

Nirel•12mo ago

It could run properly now, hold on I want to create a slash command hi.js

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

module.exports = {
  data: new SlashCommandBuilder()
    .setName("hi")
    .setDescription("Replies with Hello!"),
  async execute(interaction) {
    await interaction.reply("Hello!");
  },
};

exports.name = "hi"

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

module.exports = {
  data: new SlashCommandBuilder()
    .setName("hi")
    .setDescription("Replies with Hello!"),
  async execute(interaction) {
    await interaction.reply("Hello!");
  },
};

exports.name = "hi"

Nirel•12mo ago

this error has been fixed

Squid•12mo ago

You should know basic javascript before developing a bot, especially how to diagnose ones that tell you the exact problem

Nirel•12mo ago

I've added

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

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

Ok There's no error for now, but I can't access the slash command this? I've created that deploy-commands.js, or there's some missing code? If I press Run, all of the code should be run at the same time. App used: Replit So I need to click the run button while in the deploy-commands.js? I've run the deploy file, it works but inside the console tab it says "No command matching hi was found."
