Attaching files
I have two bots with similar base code.
I have one bot that can attach files a specific local directory, so i know thats fine. The other wont, it also attaches as a file but i assume thats a symptom not a cause (i assume because there is an attachment error)
I have message content turned on in Developers portal, gateway intents are identical.
the role of the new bot is set as Admin so it should have permissions.
what am i missing?
This is the most current version of discord.js 14.20

- What's your exact discord.js
npm list discord.js and node node -v version?

are you sure the file is there and it's not empty? are you using ts or js, and if ts, how are you running it?
also intents are completely irrelevant
the message content intent is for reading messages, not sending them
in general intents allow you to receive or request information, not send it
hmm, i read somewhere on stack exchange someone was having a similar problem and this was a solution albiet it was a very old solution.
they were probably referring to fetching attachments, not sending them
I mean the code is identical between the bots right? and when i put in a wrong image name to test it throws an error saying file does not exist
intents have always behaved the same
make sure it's not an issue with the file itself then
they are sending the same file though
can double-check just in case
ah, I thought you had two folders with the same code
are you running the same code with two different tokens or something?
no i'm rewriting this bot
i essentially have one bot that does a bit, and i rewriting this bot with 14.20 and want to remove features from one bot into a standalone bot
yes two different tokens
why did you use ping in one bot and animate in the other, if they're the exact same code :Thonk:
ping was the command i used in the first bot, but i didn't want to call it ping in the second bot
interesting.
seems like one line of code (which runs a function) stops it
i'll have to further investigate this
Ok so this is probably has an issue with priority i guess,
Even if the file exists, i can't overwrite it with a new file. and fetch the existing or the old if the share the same name.
If i change the name it's fine.
For now instead of saving the file, i am just going to buffer it and use that instead of saving locally.
So unrelated to everything i thought it was..
Cheers
