not receiving any error at all

Did you deploy the command?

AlixOP•3mo ago

you mean like this

        await client.application?.commands.fetch();
        await client.application?.commands.set(commands);
        console.log(`Synced ${commands.length} commands globally`);

        await client.application?.commands.fetch();
        await client.application?.commands.set(commands);
        console.log(`Synced ${commands.length} commands globally`);

Yeah, but don't deploy commands each bot startup. You can be rate limited easily. It's better to have a separate file and run it when you have done changes to the data

AlixOP•3mo ago

alright i will fix that later on but to answer your question then yeah, i did deploy my command

Syjalo•3mo ago

Now restart your Discord app (Ctrl + R)

i already tried and it has nothing to do with this file right

import { Client, Collection, ApplicationCommandData } from "discord.js";
import fs from "fs";

const __filename = fileURLToPath(import.meta.url);
const __dirname = path.dirname(__filename);

// 👇 Make sure it loads from the correct directory
const commandsDir = path.join(__dirname, "../commands");

function getCommandFiles(dir: string): string[] {
    return fs.readdirSync(dir, { withFileTypes: true })
        .flatMap(dirent =>
            dirent.isDirectory()
                ? getCommandFiles(path.join(dir, dirent.name))
                : dirent.name.endsWith(".ts") && !dirent.name.includes("handler")
                    ? path.join(dir, dirent.name)
                    : []
        );
}


export async function setupCommandHandler(client: Client): Promise<ApplicationCommandData[]> {
    if (!client.commands) client.commands = new Collection();

    const commandFiles = getCommandFiles(commandsDir);
    const commands: ApplicationCommandData[] = [];

Have you used the shortcut, not just closed and open the app?

AlixOP•3mo ago

i tried both tbh

NyR•3mo ago

Did you try to run that command? If it is outdated discord will tell you and auto-refresh your commands, if not then you didn't deploy your commands properly

AlixOP•3mo ago

i just do get this return content: '❌ Please specify a valid subcommand. Use /instagram config setup or /instagram config status.', this is correct deploying right so i don't see the issue then

NyR•3mo ago

What does it show in discord? Can you show that?

AlixOP•3mo ago

NyR•3mo ago

Yeah so you did not re deploy

AlixOP•3mo ago

it does automatically right when restarting the bot

Syjalo•3mo ago

Add console.log(interaction.commandGuildId) to your command execute function. Does it log the id?

AlixOP•3mo ago

now i do get this error This command is outdated, please try again in a few minutes after adding this console log it did refresh wtf

Syjalo•3mo ago

Probably you didn't save the file

AlixOP•3mo ago

i did 😄 always the first time i do check but it is fixed so whatever next time i also gonna try to add some console.logs maybe it will refresh then 😄
