Cant start Duel

[Tman0560]

I can't seem to get a duel to start. I can play against the AI but when I use !ttt and then the users @ nothing works. Could anyone help me out?

[anjannair]

@Tman0560 have you followed steps mentioned in README?

[Tman0560]

Yes I have. I used the “use it as a independent bot” instructions in the Read Me

[anjannair]

@Tman0560 no console errors? Bot token is valid? If still error then could you please share your code

[Tman0560]

No console errors. Bot Token is Valid. The bot works against the AI but it does nothing when doing !ttt @user. I wrote the script in Visual Studio Code.

@Tman0560 attack a screenshot of the code if possible? So I can have look at it

[Tman0560]

Sure

Hello @Tman0560, which version of Node do you use? I will try to reproduce the bug to fix it. Sounds weird because you should have either an error message in your text channel or a fatal error with the stack trace in your console. Also, the mentionned member must validate those conditions to start a duel with it : https://github.com/utarwyn/discord-tictactoe/blob/37f936092bfa37801b52cb9c4b40322c40701175/src/bot/commands/StartCommand.ts#L67-L70

Otherwise a warning message is sent by the bot in the same channel, do you see it? The only case when a message is neither printed in the console nor in the text channel is when the command is not handled or a game is already running in it. Or a permission problem.

I use Node version 15.4, Also I use a raspberry pi 3 to run the bot. It’s a 32 bit system so do you think that affects it? The Bot also has the proper permissions for the server. Like you said it doesn’t give me a error in the code or in the text chat.

@utarwyn @anjannair With some messing around I managed to have it give me an error code. Here's the error code...

Oh.. it seems to be a Discord.js problem. Like that issue on their repository: discordjs/discord.js#3913 They are all saying to upgrade Node to at least v12+ or v14+. So check your node version with node -version and upgrade it if needed. This is not a problem with my bot I think.

[Tman0560]

Okay cool I will do some investigating then on that I will let you know if it was the node version

[Tman0560]

It was the node version and nothing wrong with your bot. Thank you so much for your help!

[utarwyn]

Great news! Thank you for the feedback, enjoy the bot :smile:
