Bot becames online but doesnt work #123

Open Bukrekk opened 3 months ago

Bukrekk commented 3 months ago

I did download the code and tried to run it according to readme.md with VSCode. Bot became online, but it doesn't work; it doesn't even see /commands. The bot and chat room have all the privileges maxed out. (I also tried the Docker method.)

Also, the npm method has a problem on Windows PCs. The npm  run build command doesn't work, but changing it into rmraf fixes it. image

What did I do wrong? Did I somehow miss some dependencies?  image This is the only prompt I managed to get after so many tries. The interesting thing is that the official bot still functions.

I did also try running the bot in a clean Ubuntu installation but still got the same problem.

Hi,

If you have the bot token correctly specified and the logs show it logging in, I am unsure why the bot would not appear online in your server. I run the bot with docker compose in both my production and testing environments. You may have more success with that.

As for commands, you need to use npm run appcmd-cli to synchronize commands with Discord. For more info, use

npm run appcmd-cli -- --help
