I'm a relatively experienced developer (graduated recently), trying to get back into discord bots after I made a few a couple of years ago.
I've been following the guide on discordjs.guide, but even with the basic "hello world" style program, I am already stuck.
The program gives no errors when running, but no interactions come through in the console.
When I start the script, the bot switches to "online." Curiously, the bot does not switch back to "offline" until I regenerate the token. Not sure if that is related.
I've verified process.env.BOT_TOKEN is the correct value.
I've confirmed client.login runs successfully.
I've tried DMing the bot directly
I've tried sending messages on guild channels
I've tried #ing the bot
Is there something super obvious I'm not understanding/seeing? Otherwise, what else should I try as a troubleshooting step?
const { Client, Intents } = require('discord.js');
const client = new Client({ intents: [Intents.FLAGS.GUILDS] });
client.once('ready', () => {
console.log('Ready!');
});
client.on('interactionCreate', interaction => {
console.log(interaction);
});
client.login(process.env.BOT_TOKEN);
package.json:
{
"name": "timebot",
"version": "1.0.0",
"description": "",
"main": "start.js",
"scripts": {
"start": "node -r dotenv/config start.js dotenv_config_path=secrets.env",

}
}
Turns out, messages are not classified as "interactions" by discord.js. Additionally, you have to specify the intent to listen for messages, otherwise, the event won't be passed to your bot. Here is the revised code with those two critical changes:
const { Client, Intents } = require('discord.js');
const client = new Client({ intents: [Intents.FLAGS.GUILDS, Intents.FLAGS.GUILD_MESSAGES, Intents.FLAGS.DIRECT_MESSAGES] });
client.once('ready', () => {
console.log('Ready!');
});
client.on('interactionCreate', interaction => {
console.log(interaction);
});
client.on("messageCreate", message => {
console.log(message);
});
client.login(process.env.BOT_TOKEN);

message.content doesn't have any value in Discord.js

I'm following this tutorial: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qv24S2L1N0k&t=1s
the bot is working in the terminal, but not on the Discord Server.
bot.js:
require('dotenv').config()
const Discord = require('discord.js')
const client = new Discord.Client()
client.on('ready', () => {
console.log('Our bot is ready to go!!!')
})
client.login(process.env.BOT_TOKEN)
client.on("message", msg => {
if(msg.content === 'ping'){
msg.channel.send("Not tagged")
}
})
package.json
{
"name": "bot_development",
"version": "1.0.0",
"description": "",

"dotenv": "^8.2.0",
"node": "^16.18.1"
},
"devDependencies": {
"nodemon": "^2.0.20"
}
}
I've tried with
const client = new Discord.Client({intents: ["GUILDS", "GUILD_MESSAGES"]})
and I've tried "messageCreate" instead of "message", like this:
require('dotenv').config()
const Discord = require('discord.js')
const client = new Discord.Client({intents: ["GUILDS", "GUILD_MESSAGES"]})
client.on('ready', () => {
console.log('Our bot is ready to go!!!')
})
client.login(process.env.BOT_TOKEN)
client.on("messageCreate", msg => {
if(msg.content === 'ping'){
msg.channel.send("Not tagged")
}
})
Is there any problem outside of my code? I've done the rest of the configuration at the dev portal in the tutorial.
client.on("message", msg => {
if(msg.content === "ping"){
//try msg.reply("pong") if the code below does not work
msg.channel.send("Not tagged");
}
})
try changing createMessage to 'message'

I am trying to make a discord bot using the OPENAI API and when I try to use the command 'node index' I get the following error:

It looks like you're using an older implementation for the newest version of discord.js. If you follow the changelog for its v14, you'll see the client initialization changed.
So instead of:
const { Client, Intents } = require('discord.js');
const client = new Client({ intents: [Intents.FLAGS.GUILDS] });
You should be using:
const { Client, GatewayIntentBits } = require('discord.js');
const client = new Client({ intents: [GatewayIntentBits.Guilds] });
My index.js file:
const Discord = require('discord.js');
const levels = require('discord-xp');
const client = new Discord.Client();
const mongoose = require('./database/mongoose');
const fs = require(`fs`);
require('dotenv').config();
const port = process.env.PORT || 5000;
const host = '0.0.0.0';
const chalk = require('chalk');
const { Player } = require('discord-player');
const Gamedig = require('gamedig');
client.prefix = (`${process.env.PREFIX}`);
client.commands = new Discord.Collection();
client.player = new Player(client);
client.config = require('./config/bot');
client.emotes = client.config.emojis;
client.filters = client.config.filters;
fs.readdirSync('./commands').forEach(dirs => {
const commands = fs.readdirSync(`./commands/${dirs}`).filter(files => files.endsWith('.js'));
for (const file of commands) {
const command = require(`./commands/${dirs}/${file}`);
console.log(`Loading command ${file}`);
client.commands.set(command.name.toLowerCase(), command);
};
});
const player = fs.readdirSync(`./player`).filter(file => file.endsWith('.js'));
const events = fs.readdirSync('./events').filter(file => file.endsWith('.js'));
for (const file of player) {
console.log(`Loading discord-player event ${file}`);
const event = require(`./player/${file}`);
client.player.on(file.split(".")[0], event.bind(null, client));
};
for (const file of events) {
console.log(`Loading discord.js event ${file}`);
const event = require(`./events/${file}`);
client.on(file.split(".")[0], event.bind(null, client));
};
mongoose.init();
client.login(process.env.TOKEN)

Info: this is a simple bot I have made for a fivem server. I tried to host it with heroku and tried to fix it. I tried adding a port const and a const host but that did not fix anything. I also think that my issue is very small and I have 200 hours left on heroku meaning that hours are not the issue. I tried changing the port to 8080 too and that did not help with anything. If you have an idea please tell me.
I know you said you have 200 hours left.
But Idling because quota is exhausted only shows when you run out of free hours.
Also you said you changed the port to 8080 but please note that YOU CAN'T CHANGE THE PORT ON HEROKU you get the port as env variable (Like process.env.PORT as you did above) and you can't change it.
If you're using worker that means you can't run a web process and the PORT is useless anyway.
About your last Error this is from Heroku support
This is caused by kernel-level issues that can surface occasionally on the backend instances that dynos run on. Unfortunately, there is not really a work around for this issue. Scheduler dynos will crash if this happens and the job will not be executed again until its next scheduled run time. Other dyno types will typically enter a bad state and require a manual restart (you may see "App boot timeout" errors when this happens).

For my internship I am making a chatbot. I created a bot using botkit framework (yo botkit) and got as far as using it in the ms Teams client. But only using my localhost + ngrok setup. when I want to use https://{myproject}.azurewebsites.net/api/messages after deployment I get a 502 error message.
To try if I actually did my deployment okay, I made another project using "yo botbuilder" without botkit framework. Following the same steps I deployed it to a fresh Group. This time using the https://{myproject}.azurewebsites.net/api/messages url worked. (standard echo bot)
After that, I copied my bot files from my first project into my new one and replaced my index.js from my standard botbuilder project with my bot.js file from my botkit framework project.
I just used the standard botbuilder -> index.js file and botkit -> bot.js file +
in my package.json I changed the main and the scripts to point to bot.js instead of index.js.
After deploying, it just gave me my 502 again.
