Slash Commands not showing up

I followed the discordjs.guide but when I type / in server, I can't see my bot's slash commands. deploy-commands.js:

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 = [];

const foldersPath = path.join(__dirname, 'commands');
const commandFolders = fs.readdirSync(foldersPath);

for (const folder of commandFolders) {

    const commandsPath = path.join(foldersPath, folder);
    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) {
            commands.push(command.data.toJSON());
        } else {
            console.log(`[WARNING] The command at ${filePath} is missing a required "data" or "execute" property.`);
        }
    }
}

const rest = new REST().setToken(token);

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

        const data = await rest.put(Routes.applicationGuildCommands(clientId, guildId),
            { body: commands },
        );

        console.log(`Successfully reloaded ${data.length} application (/) commands.`);
    } catch (error) {
        console.error(error);
    }
})();

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 = [];

const foldersPath = path.join(__dirname, 'commands');
const commandFolders = fs.readdirSync(foldersPath);

for (const folder of commandFolders) {

    const commandsPath = path.join(foldersPath, folder);
    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) {
            commands.push(command.data.toJSON());
        } else {
            console.log(`[WARNING] The command at ${filePath} is missing a required "data" or "execute" property.`);
        }
    }
}

const rest = new REST().setToken(token);

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

        const data = await rest.put(Routes.applicationGuildCommands(clientId, guildId),
            { body: commands },
        );

        console.log(`Successfully reloaded ${data.length} application (/) commands.`);
    } catch (error) {
        console.error(error);
    }
})();

what does the execution of the deployment script log to the console?

this is the Discord.JS Guide (i use it so i can help)

the reason your probably aren't seeing the slash commands are

1. you have to reload your Discord client 2. your bot is only pushing guild commands

and 2 is the answer based off of this here

        const data = await rest.put(Routes.applicationGuildCommands(clientId, guildId),
            { body: commands },
        );

        const data = await rest.put(Routes.applicationGuildCommands(clientId, guildId),
            { body: commands },
        );

this should be ur code

const data = await rest.put(
            Routes.applicationCommands(clientId),
            { body: commands },
        );

const data = await rest.put(
            Routes.applicationCommands(clientId),
            { body: commands },
        );

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

i dont see this everytime i run so something is still wrong i believe

duck•3mo ago

well if you're following the guide, the deployment script is purposefully a separate script that doesn't run when your bot runs you'd run it separately

I wanted to see if they are successfully pushing commands to the api instead of guessing what is happening

:Thonk:

ShompiFlen•3mo ago

did you successfully deploy the commands to the guild you specified in your config.json file? did you run this script?

Ling Ling Eggroll•3mo ago
