I am currently learning JavaScript by setting up audio functions to my Discord bot using node.js and I receive the following error when I execute 'node .' to my Terminal below trying to turn my Discord bot online in my test server:
SyntaxError: Unexpected token '||'

Here is my code related to the error on index.js:
const Discord = require('discord.js');
const client = new Discord.Client();
const prefix = '-';
const fs = require('fs');
client.commands = new Discord.Collection();
client.events = new Discord.Collection();
const commandFiles = fs.readdirSync('./commands').filter(file => file.endsWith('.js'));
for(const file of commandFiles){
const command = require(`./commands/${file}`);
client.commands.set(command.name, command);
console.log("registering command", file, command.data?.name);
}
[ 'command_handler', 'event_handler'].forEach(handler =>{
require(`./handlers/${handler}`)(client, Discord);
})
client.on('guildMemberAdd', guildMember =>{
let welcomeRole = guildMember.guild.roles.cache.find(role => role.name === 'Member')
guildMember.roles.add(welcomeRole);
guildMember.guild.channels.cache.get('1016009653131411557').send(`Welcome <#${guildMember.user.id}> to the Velvet Room!`);
});
client.on('message', message =>{
if(!message.content.startsWith(prefix) || message.author.bot) return;
const args = message.content.slice(prefix.length).split(" ");
const command = args.shift().toLowerCase();
if(command === 'ping'){
client.commands.get('ping').execute(message, args);
} else if (command == 'twitter'){
message.channel.send('https://twitter.com/menevraa')
}
if(command === 'clear'){
client.commands.get('clear').execute(message, args);
} else if (command === 'play') {
client.commmands.get('play').execute(message, args);
} else if (command === 'leave') {
client.commands.get('leave').execute(message, args);
}
});
client.login('(key)');
And here is the code on event_handler.js as folks have pointed out the error is related to:
const fs = require('fs');
module.exports = (client, Discord) =>{
const load_dir = (dir) =>{
const event_files = fs.readdirSync(`./events/${dir}`).filter(file => file.endsWith('.js'));
for(const file of event_files){
const event = require(`../events/${dir}/${file}`);
const event_name = file.split('.')[0];
client.on(event_name, event.bind(null, Discord, client));
}
}
['client', 'guild'].forEach(e => load_dir(e));
}
The syntaxError did not show before I was setting up additional event and audio functions to my Discord bot, and I have attempted changing the code to:
if(!message.content.startsWith(prefix) || message.author.bot) return;
with this code instead:
if(!content.message.startsWith(prefix) || message.author.bot) return;
But it did not fix the error.
The || was added in a newer version of node. Try to update node to the latest version and launch your bot again ;)

Inside of my commands for "ping.js" it is;
module.exports = {
name: 'ping',
description: "this is a ping command!",
execute(message, args){
message.channel.send('pong!');
}
}
Any way to fix this? do i need to start over?
I tried reinstalling everything in my node_modules and other node stuff. I should be expecting my bot to run.
You probably want to run node main.js not node ..
node . runs what is mentioned inside your package.json as main if thats empty it tries to run index.js which you do not use.
Try node main.js. You didn't specify which file is the entry point.
So I recently started developing a discord bot using discord.js, and when I'm trying to run this command, it is raising an error when I update the bot at the line where I execute the command (client.commands.get('kick').execute(message, args);).
The error is:
TypeError: Cannot read properties of undefined (reading 'get'
at Client.<anonymous> (C:\Users\Shushan\Desktop\discordbot\main.js:18:25)
at Client.emit (node:events:527:28) )
And here are my code files:
main.js
const Discord = require('discord.js');
const client = new Discord.Client();
const prefix = '?';
client.once('ready', () => {
console.log("Shushbot is online!");
})
client.on('message', message => {
if(!message.content.startsWith(prefix) || message.author.bot) return;
const args = message.content.slice(prefix.length).split(/ +/);
const command = args.shift().toLowerCase();
if(command === 'kick') {
client.commands.get('kick').execute(message, args);
}
})
client.login('SECURITY TOKEN');
kick.js
module.exports = {
name: 'kick',
description: 'This Command Kicks People!',
execute(message, args) {
const member = message.mentions.users.first();
if(member) {
const memberTarget = message.guild.members.cache.get(member.id);
memberTarget.kick();
message.channel.send("This User Has Been Kicked From The Server.");
} else {
message.channel.send("This User Couldn't Be Kicked.");
}
}
}
I think you should check that : https://discordjs.guide/creating-your-bot/command-handling.html#reading-command-files
So far, your bot (client) don't know the commands method, and even if he knows, get dosent exists at all.
You have to write some code to create and set these commands, exemple from doc :
client.commands = new Collection();
const commandsPath = path.join(__dirname, 'commands');
const commandFiles = fs.readdirSync(commandsPath).filter(file => file.endsWith('.js'));
for (const file of commandFiles) {
const filePath = path.join(commandsPath, file);
const command = require(filePath);
// Set a new item in the Collection
// With the key as the command name and the value as the exported module
client.commands.set(command.data.name, command);
}
You can do it that way or an other, but at this time your object is empty.
Even your client.commands is undefined !
I just started building new bot and whenever i try to use node . in the terminal I get error like this;
ReferenceError: client is not defined

Here is my whole code, i don't know where the problem could be;
const Discord = require('discord.js');
const client = new Discord.Client();
const prefix = '+';
const fs = require('fs');
client.command = new Discord.Collection();
const commandFiles = fs.readdirSync('./commands/').filter(file => file.endsWith('.js'));
for(const file of commandFiles){
const command = require(`./commands/${file}`);
client.command.set(command.name, command);
}
client.once('ready', () =>{
console.log('Bot is turned on');
}),
client.log('message', message =>{
if(!message.content.startsWith(prefix) || message.author.bot) return;
const args = message.content.slice(prefix.lenght).split(/ +/);
const command = args.shift().toLowerCase
if(command === 'bok'){
client.commands.get('ping').execute(message, args);
}
})
client.login('token');
Make sure to reinstall discord.js and try this code:
const Discord = require('discord.js');
const client = new Discord.Client();
const prefix = '+';
const fs = require('fs');
client.command = new Discord.Collection();
const commandFiles = fs.readdirSync('./commands/').filter(file => file.endsWith('.js'));
for(const file of commandFiles){
const command = require(`./commands/${file}`);
client.command.set(command.name, command);
}
client.on('ready', () =>{
console.log('Bot is turned on');
}),
client.on('message', message =>{
if(!message.content.startsWith(prefix) || message.author.bot) return;
const args = message.content.slice(prefix.lenght).split(/ +/);
const command = args.shift().toLowerCase
if(command === 'bok'){
client.command.get('ping').execute(message, args);
}
})
client.login('token');
Hey so I've been trying to make a Discord bot, in the spirit of Christmas it will have a command, ".suggestgift" which will start a prompt that figures out a good match for the person. I keep receiving the error, "TypeError: Cannot read property 'execute' of undefined... I don't know why though, the other commands, written the same way all seem to work. Here's my code...
const Discord = require('discord.js');
const WOKCommands = require ('wokcommands');
const client = new Discord.Client();
const prefix = '.';
const fs = require('fs');
client.commands = new Discord.Collection();
client.commands.giftsuggest = new Discord.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.name, command);
}
client.once('ready', () => {
console.log('Santa bot is online');
});
client.on('message', message =>{
if(!message.content.startsWith(prefix) || message.author.bot) return;
const args = message.content.slice(prefix.length).split(/ +/);
const command = args.shift().toLowerCase();
if(command === 'clear'){
client.commands.get('clear').execute(message, args, Discord);
} else if(command === 'kick'){
client.commands.get('kick').execute(message, args, Discord);
} else if(command === 'ban'){
client.commands.get('ban').execute(message, args, Discord);
}else if(command === 'ping'){
client.commands.get('ping').execute(message, args, Discord);
}else if(command == 'giftprompt'){
client.commands.giftsuggest.get('giftprompt').execute(message, args);
}
});
client.login('my token would be here')
The files code:
module.exports = {
name: 'suggestprompt',
description: 'testing',
execute(message, args){
message.channel.send('This is testing to see that the command works')
}
}
module.exports returns an object, which is a key value pair, you are missing the key part for execute function
try changing the module.exports to below
module.exports = {
name: 'suggestprompt',
description: 'testing',
execute: function(message, args){
message.channel.send('This is testing to see that the command works')
}
}
And Welcome to StackOverflow :)
Recently, I've been working on a bot called Music Bot. And, it showed up with this error message:
C:\Users\yuhao\Desktop\discord-bot-master\index.js:51
client.login(token);
^

C:\Users\yuhao\Desktop\discord-bot-master>
My token format have lots of dots, but, at ReferenceError, it showed up with no dots and the one before the dot.
This the the script for index.js:
const fs = require('fs')
const Discord = require('discord.js');
const Client = require('./client/Client');
const {
prefix,
token,
} = require('./config.json');
const client = new Client();
client.commands = new Discord.Collection();
const queue = new Map();
const commandFiles = fs.readdirSync('./commands').filter(file => file.endsWith('.js'));
for (const file of commandFiles) {
const command = require(`./commands/${file}`);
client.commands.set(command.name, command);
}
console.log(client.commands);
client.once('ready', () => {
console.log('Ready!');
});
client.once('reconnecting', () => {
console.log('Reconnecting!');
});
client.once('disconnect', () => {
console.log('Disconnect!');
});
client.on('message', async message => {
const args = message.content.slice(prefix.length).split(/ +/);
const commandName = args.shift().toLowerCase();
const command = client.commands.get(commandName);
if (message.author.bot) return;
if (!message.content.startsWith(prefix)) return;
try {
command.execute(message);
} catch (error) {
console.error(error);
message.reply('There was an error trying to execute that command!');
}
});
client.login(token);
And this is config.json:
{
"prefix": "!",
"token": "token"
}
Thats all. Help me please on reply section, thx!
Your problem is that you haven't populated your token or prefix. You need to parse your JSON like this for the object in question to be populated.
JS:
const fs = require('fs')
...
const config = JSON.parse(fs.readFileSync(filename, "UTF-8");
client.login(config.token);
TS (with a class so you don't have to worry about mistyping values, as you will get autocompletion):
export default class Settings {
public token: String;
public prefix: String;
}
...
const config: Settings = JSON.parse(fs.readFileSync(filename, "UTF-8");
client.login(config.token);
use like this
const fs = require('fs')
const Discord = require('discord.js');
const Client = require('./client/Client');
const config = require('./config.json');
const client = new Client();
client.commands = new Discord.Collection();
const queue = new Map();
const commandFiles = fs.readdirSync('./commands').filter(file => file.endsWith('.js'));
for (const file of commandFiles) {
const command = require(`./commands/${file}`);
client.commands.set(command.name, command);
}
console.log(client.commands);
client.once('ready', () => {
console.log('Ready!');
});
client.once('reconnecting', () => {
console.log('Reconnecting!');
});
client.once('disconnect', () => {
console.log('Disconnect!');
});
client.on('message', async message => {
const args = message.content.slice(config.prefix.length).split(/ +/);
const commandName = args.shift().toLowerCase();
const command = client.commands.get(commandName);
if (message.author.bot) return;
if (!message.content.startsWith(config.prefix)) return;
try {
command.execute(message);
} catch (error) {
console.error(error);
message.reply('There was an error trying to execute that command!');
}
});
client.login(config.token);
