• OS: Windows
• Node Version(Should be v14 atleast): 14.17.6
• Is python 2.7 installed?: yes
• How are you hosting the bot(Locally, on a vps, heroku, glitch...): locally

I hope you can help me, Francesco.

[Bacon-Fixation]

Howdy,

with the recent discord.js v13 changes the node and python versions are different

try with Node V16 https://nodejs.org/en/download/current/ Python 3 https://www.python.org/downloads/

then run npm ci --production again

i hope this helps

Much Love -Bacon

[FrancimanLst]

Thank you for the help, now i fixed! -Francesco

[FrancimanLst]

The problem persist on Heroku and i don't any idea on how to fix it there :/

[Princevikas]

im having the same error in heroku

[galnir]

@FrancimanLst @Princevikas Are you sure your Node.js version in Heroku is 16+?

[FrancimanLst]

@galnir I just tried to upgrade the node version to 16+ but it still giving me problem... Maybe i did something wrong, here is my package.json modified:

[kiyoshikuncool]

Just add:

"engines": { "node": "16.9.0" }

it works on my Heroku :D

[FrancimanLst]

@KiyoshiKunCool Ok that worked, thank you. But now for some reasons Heroku doesn't find anymore my config.json....

[kiyoshikuncool]

The "package.json" will like this:

And I set config the "buildpacks" like this: (Cmd: "heroku buildpacks:set https://github.com/heroku/heroku-buildpack-nodejs#latest -a your-app" | Change "your-app" to your app name like "mastet-bot")

And it works smoothly :33

I did all that again and it leaves me again with the error message 'Cannot find module './config.json'

Maybe it's a problem about my index.js file, idk Here my index.js:

const fs = require('fs');
const { REST } = require('@discordjs/rest');
const { Routes } = require('discord-api-types/v9');
const { Client, Collection, Intents } = require('discord.js');
const { token, mongo_URI, client_id } = require('./config.json');
const mongoose = require('mongoose');

const rest = new REST({ version: '9' }).setToken(token);

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

client.commands = new Collection();
const commands = [];

const commandFiles = fs
  .readdirSync('./commands')
  .map(folder =>
    fs
      .readdirSync(`./commands/${folder}`)
      .filter(file => file.endsWith('.js'))
      .map(file => `./commands/${folder}/${file}`)
  )
  .flat();

for (const file of commandFiles) {
  const command = require(`${file}`);
  if (Object.keys(command).length === 0) continue;
  commands.push(command.data.toJSON());
  client.commands.set(command.data.name, command);
}

(async () => {
  try {
    console.log('Started refreshing application (/) commands.');

    await rest.put(Routes.applicationCommands(client_id), {
      body: commands
    });

    console.log('Successfully reloaded application (/) commands.');
  } catch (error) {
    console.error(error);
  }
})();

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, client));
  } else {
    client.on(event.name, (...args) => event.execute(...args, client));
  }
}

client.once('ready', () => {
  client.playerManager = new Map();
  client.triviaManager = new Map();
  client.guildData = new Collection();
  client.user.setActivity('/', { type: 'WATCHING' });
  mongoose
    .connect(encodeURI(mongo_URI), {
      useNewUrlParser: true,
      useUnifiedTopology: true
    })
    .then(() => {
      console.log('Mongo is ready');
    })
    .catch(console.error);

  console.log('Ready!');
});

client.login(token);

I also tried to change './config.json' with '../config.json' but gave me same error :/

[kiyoshikuncool]

@FrancimanLst Did you create Mongoose database and put the "mongo_URI" in config.json yet??

[FrancimanLst]

@KiyoshiKunCool Yes, if i start the bot locally it works fine, the problem is when i try to do it on Heroku

[MrUnstable]

Tried to recreate this whole thing and basically what fixed it for me is forking a private copy of Master-Bot , adding config.json and Procfile to private fork and turning auto deployment in Heroku (main branch) make sure both config and Procfile are also uploaded in main branch more info in #490

[galnir]

@FrancimanLst The config.json needs to be at the root directory of the project, at the same level index.js is

[FrancimanLst]

I'm stupid, i didn't add config.json to the fork on github... Sorry guys for bothering you and thanks for the help! Now it works and that's the worth part!
