• 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.my discord.js is 14.11.0 and my node -v is v18.16.1
there no error message or anything this is all that happens
Do you have the MessageContent intent in your
client declaration?
You also need the GuildMessages intent in the same placeconst client = new Discord.Client({
intents: 76864
});
this is my client when i tried to add guildmessages it kept giving me errors
Magic numbers are meaningless
Be more specific than "errors"
this was there error
as i said i am new to coding

Node.js v18.16.1
what i used for this was
const client = new Discord.Client({
intents: [
'GUILDS',
'GUILD_MESSAGES',
'GUILD_MESSAGE_REACTIONS'
]
});
I then changed it to what i have now and it worked
that's code for discord.js v13, not v14
RangeError [BitFieldInvalid]: Invalid bitfield flag or number: undefined
- All SCREAMING_SNAKE_CASE enums have been changed to PascalCase
- Intents: Intents.FLAGS.GUILD_MESSAGES -> GatewayIntentBits.GuildMessages
- Permissions: Permissions.FLAGS.SEND_MESSAGES -> PermissionFlagsBits.SendMessagessecond bullet point
so correct me if im wrong
const { Client, GatewayIntentBits } = require('discord.js');
const client = new Client({
intents: GatewayIntentBits.GuildMessages
});
That's good
You now have the GuildMessages intent (to receive basic messages), and you should also add the Guilds (for basic functioning) and the MessageContent (to receive message content) intents
this is what i have
const { Client, GatewayIntentBits } = require('discord.js');
const client = new Client({
intents: GatewayIntentBits.GuildMessages
});
let todoList = {};
let staffList = {
auto909: true
};
client.on('ready', () => {
console.log(
if (message.author.bot) return; const args = message.content.trim().split(/ +/g); const command = args[0].toLowerCase(); switch (command) { case '/add': const item = args.slice(1).join(' '); if (!todoList[message.guild.id]) todoList[message.guild.id] = {}; todoList[message.guild.id][item] = { stage: 'Not Started', assignee: 'None' }; message.channel.send(
Bot is ready as: ${client.user.tag});
});
client.on('messageCreate', message => {
console.log(Message received: ${message.content});
if (message.author.bot) return; const args = message.content.trim().split(/ +/g); const command = args[0].toLowerCase(); switch (command) { case '/add': const item = args.slice(1).join(' '); if (!todoList[message.guild.id]) todoList[message.guild.id] = {}; todoList[message.guild.id][item] = { stage: 'Not Started', assignee: 'None' }; message.channel.send(
Added item: ${item});
break;
