Solution:

either drop the "bot" subfolder and set main to dist/index.js in package.json OR override the automatically resolved folder by setting baseUserDirectory in the client options

Sapphire will look for folders called commands and listeners in the same directory that the main property is configured to be at in the package.json as per the top red block on our guide: https://sapphirejs.dev/docs/Guide/getting-started/getting-started-with-sapphire You will have likely set it to dist/index.js so you will either need dist/commands and such, or set a custom directory with baseUserDirectory in the client options. (make sure you dont set it to a directory in src if you do!)

so i cant run the bot in src/bot ?

Favna•2y ago

Node cannot run TS files directly so you will need to compile them first and as per your own config the files will be output to dist

f1ftyOP•2y ago

yeah i can compile it but it doesnt recognized src/bot/listeners/

Favna•2y ago

because of what I said...

I honestly have no idea. Pinging @kyra 🩵🩷🤍🩷🩵 in here

f1ftyOP•2y ago

okay okay np i set baseUserDirectory: __dirname it works now maybe i missed some informations i moved the bot index.ts into src/bot folder and created a index.ts to src root and imported ./bot/index.ts

Favna•2y ago

if you have index.ts in src/bot/ then you can just set main to dist/bot/index.js in your package.json and drop the baseUserDirectory

f1ftyOP•2y ago

yeah but i add some other applications to the bot works now thanks for your help
