How do I fix CLIENT_MISSING_INTENTS error?
I started learning about discord.js but now I am facing this issue. I tried some googling but couldn't manage to fix it.
const Discord = require('discord.js');
// const Discord = require('discord.js');
// using Intents class
const client = new Discord.Client();
client.on('message', (msg) => {
// Send back a reply when the specific command has been written by a user.
if (msg.content === '!hello') {
msg.reply('Hello World!');
}
});
client.login('my_token');
This is the error I am getting:
You need to specify the events which you want your bot to receive using gateway intents.
Instead of
const client = new Discord.Client();
Use
const client = new Discord.Client({ intents: [Enter intents here] })
For example
const client = new Discord.Client({ intents: ["GUILDS", "GUILD_MESSAGES"] })
Here's another useful link: https://discord.com/developers/docs/topics/gateway
You can instead just degrade discord.js version by typing this into shell:
npm i [email protected]
The latest discord.js version doesn't function very good so I use v12 - no complicated script.
