Hey! I am making my bot but I feel like I have had this error before but I don’t know if I made a post but yeah. Error is below: (javascript)

If this is something to do with my index.js file please tell me and I will reply to your post with the code!

And yes, I have enabled all Privileged Gateway Intents.

Are your dependencies up to date?

Once again, I barely understand JS.

luke · August 6, 2022, 11:30am

Like npm, discord.js and fs?

Noah · August 6, 2022, 11:30am

Correct, npm update dicsord.js

luke · August 6, 2022, 11:32am

Updated but still

Also, are you importing the intents? I think you need to do that with discord.js.

E.g:

const { Client, GatewayIntentBits } = require('discord.js');

const client = new Client({ intents: [GatewayIntentBits.Guilds] });

Another example I found

const { Client, IntentsBitField } = require('discord.js');

const myIntents = new IntentsBitField();
myIntents.add(IntentsBitField.Flags.GuildPresences, IntentsBitField.Flags.GuildMembers);

const client = new Client({ intents: myIntents });

// other examples:
const otherIntents = new IntentsBitField([IntentsBitField.Flags.Guilds, IntentsBitField.Flags.DirectMessages]);
otherIntents.remove([IntentsBitField.Flags.DirectMessages]);

const otherIntents2 = new IntentsBitField(32509);
otherIntents2.remove(4096, 512);

What even is the intent Intents.FLAGS.GUILDS, I’ve never heard of that. Maybe this is what you’re intending of achieving:

const client = new Discord.Client({ intents: ["GUILDS", "GUILD_MESSAGES"] })

luke · August 6, 2022, 11:35am

const fs = require('fs');
const { Client, Collection, Intents } = require('discord.js');
const { token } = require('./config.json');

const client = new Client({ intents: [Intents.FLAGS.GUILDS, Intents.FLAGS.DIRECT_MESSAGES] });

client.commands = new Collection();
const commandFiles = fs.readdirSync('./commands').filter(file => file.endsWith('.js'));

for (const file of commandFiles) {
	const command = require(`./commands/${file}`);
	client.commands.set(command.data.name, command);
}

const eventFiles = fs.readdirSync('./events').filter(file => file.endsWith('.js'));

for (const file of eventFiles) {
	const event = require(`./events/${file}`);
	if (event.once) {
		client.once(event.name, (...args) => event.execute(...args));
	} else {
		client.on(event.name, (...args) => event.execute(...args));
	}
}

client.login(token);*emphasized text*

This is my index.js file btw and I dont think its the problem?

Noah · August 6, 2022, 11:36am

Try the following:

Once again, JavaScript is to me.

luke · August 6, 2022, 11:36am

Added it in and I got this error.

You have two clients, remove the old one.

Also remove the Discord from Discord.Client.

Out of curiosity, what are the intents you need?

In python we do the following:

intents = discord.Intents(messages = True, guilds = True, reactions = True, members = True, presences = True)
bot = commands.Bot(command_prefix = '#', intents = intents)

After some more scanning of the discord.js tags, I’ve come over this:

const { Client, GatewayIntentBits } = require('discord.js');

const client = new Client({ intents: [GatewayIntentBits.Guilds] });

In your case you can try:

const { Client, GatewayIntentBits } = require('discord.js');

const client = new Client({ intents: [GatewayIntentBits.Guilds]})

luke · August 6, 2022, 11:45am

Do I have to replace any of my code?

const fs = require('fs');
const { Client, Collection, Intents } = require('discord.js');
const { token } = require('./config.json');

const client = new Client({ intents: ["GUILDS", "GUILD_MESSAGES"] })

client.commands = new Collection();
const commandFiles = fs.readdirSync('./commands').filter(file => file.endsWith('.js'));

for (const file of commandFiles) {
	const command = require(`./commands/${file}`);
	client.commands.set(command.data.name, command);
}

const eventFiles = fs.readdirSync('./events').filter(file => file.endsWith('.js'));

for (const file of eventFiles) {
	const event = require(`./events/${file}`);
	if (event.once) {
		client.once(event.name, (...args) => event.execute(...args));
	} else {
		client.on(event.name, (...args) => event.execute(...args));
	}
}

client.login(token);

Noah · August 6, 2022, 11:47am

luke:

const fs = require('fs');
-  const { Client, Collection, Intents } = require('discord.js');
+ const { Client, GatewayIntentBits } = require('discord.js');
const { token } = require('./config.json');

- const client = new Client({ intents: ["GUILDS", "GUILD_MESSAGES"] })
+ const client = new Client({ intents: [GatewayIntentBits.Guilds]})

client.commands = new Collection();
const commandFiles = fs.readdirSync('./commands').filter(file => file.endsWith('.js'));

for (const file of commandFiles) {
	const command = require(`./commands/${file}`);
	client.commands.set(command.data.name, command);
}
