Slash Command registered but application cannot locate it when called

Trying to update an older bot to use slash commands and I have run into an issue when responding to the client.

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

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

    if (!command) {
        console.error(`[WARNING] 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 was an error while executing this command!", ephemeral: true });
        } else {
            await interaction.reply({ content: "There was an error while executing this command!", ephemeral: true });
        }
    }
});

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

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

    if (!command) {
        console.error(`[WARNING] 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 was an error while executing this command!", ephemeral: true });
        } else {
            await interaction.reply({ content: "There was an error while executing this command!", ephemeral: true });
        }
    }
});

I am trying to make a simple /ping command but I get

[WARNING] No command matching ping was found.

[WARNING] No command matching ping was found.

in my logs and "The application did not respond" on Discord

That suggests you havent loaded it/anything into client.commands

for (const file of commandFiles) {
    const command = require(file);

    if ("data" in command && "execute" in command) {
        console.info(`[INFO] Loaded command: ${command.data.name}`);
        commands.push(command.data.toJSON());
    } else {
        console.warn(`[WARNING] The command at ${file} is missing a required "data" or "execute" property.`);
    }
}

const rest = new REST({ version: "10" }).setToken(token);

// Load commands
(async () => {
    try {
        console.info(`[INFO] Started refreshing ${commands.length} application (/) commands.`);

        // The put method is used to fully refresh all commands in the guild with the current set
        const data = await rest.put(
            Routes.applicationGuildCommands(bot.config.clientId, bot.config.guildId),
            { body: commands },
        );

        console.info(`[INFO] Successfully reloaded ${data.length} application (/) commands.`);
    } catch (error) {
        // And of course, make sure you catch and log any errors!
        console.error(error);
    }
})();

it seems to locate them ok? Is there any other way I can tell

monbrey•5mo ago

This doesnt put them in client.commands, this is an entirely separate script for deploying them

24Kings•5mo ago

oh I see what you mean

cool cool, thx I got confused on that part because it looks very similar to deploying them Kek

read one too many guides that show you code and then immediately change it on the next slide working now <:PI_aquathumbsup:697627878287867904>
