JS Running Error - Cannot read properties of undefined

Are your dependencies up to date?

Once again, I barely understand JS.

luke · 2022-08-06T11:30:04.924Z

Like npm, discord.js and fs?

Noah · 2022-08-06T11:30:57.971Z

Correct, npm update dicsord.js

luke · 2022-08-06T11:32:30.650Z

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 · 2022-08-06T11:35:37.102Z

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 · 2022-08-06T11:36:08.606Z

Try the following:

Noah:

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

Once again, JavaScript is to me.

luke · 2022-08-06T11:36:55.472Z

Noah:

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

Added it in and I got this error.

You have two clients, remove the old one.

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 · 2022-08-06T11:45:49.650Z

Noah:

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

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

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 · 2022-08-06T11:47:48.740Z

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"] })
