Hey everyone! I’m having trouble getting my Discord bot to go online. When I try to run it, I keep getting an error message. It says something about incorrect login details. I’m not sure what I’m doing wrong.
Here’s a snippet of the error I’m seeing:
UnhandledPromiseRejectionWarning: Error: Incorrect login details were provided.
at BotConnection.client.connection.once.event (C:\MyProjects\CoolBot\node_modules\botlib\src\client\BotManager.js:52:38)
The error goes on for a while, mentioning stuff about WebSockets and promises. I’m pretty new to this, so I’m not sure what to make of it. Has anyone run into something similar? Any ideas on how to fix this?
I double-checked my bot token, but maybe I’m missing something else in the setup? Any help would be awesome!
I’ve been there, mate. Sounds like you’re hitting the classic token authentication issue. Here’s what worked for me:
First, triple-check your bot token. It’s easy to mistype or accidentally copy an extra space. Make sure it’s exactly as shown in the Discord Developer Portal.
If that doesn’t do it, try regenerating your token. Sometimes they can become invalidated. Go to the Developer Portal, find your app, hit the ‘Bot’ section, and click ‘Regenerate’ under the token. Don’t forget to update your code with the new token.
Also, ensure you’re not accidentally sharing your token publicly (like pushing it to GitHub). Discord automatically revokes tokens it finds exposed.
Lastly, check your bot’s permissions. If it doesn’t have the right ones, it might fail to connect.
Hope this helps. Let us know if you’re still stuck!
yo, check ur code for typos in the token. i made that mistake b4. also, make sure ur using the right library version. sometimes older ones dont play nice with discord’s updates. if nothin works, try makin a new bot on the dev portal. Good luck!
I encountered a similar issue recently. One often overlooked cause is environment variables. If you’re using them to store your bot token (which is good practice), ensure they’re set correctly. Check your .env file or system environment variables.
Another potential culprit could be network issues. If you’re behind a strict firewall or proxy, it might be blocking the connection. Try running your bot on a different network to rule this out.
Also, verify that you’re using the correct Discord API version. The library you’re using might be outdated and incompatible with current Discord requirements. Update your dependencies and see if that resolves the issue.
If all else fails, try creating a new application and bot in the Discord Developer Portal. Sometimes, starting fresh can solve mysterious authentication problems.
