I’m having trouble with my Discord bot when running it on a dedicated server. It works fine on my local machine, but when I try to start it using the ‘kireina.sh’ script on the server, I get a SyntaxError. The error message says ‘missing ) after argument list’ and points to several lines in the Node.js core files.
Here’s a simplified version of the error stack trace:
SyntaxError: missing ) after argument list
at Module._compile (module.js:373:25)
at Module.load (module.js:343:32)
at Function.Module._load (module.js:300:12)
at Function.Module.runMain (module.js:441:10)
at startup (node.js:140:18)
Any ideas on what might be causing this and how to fix it? I’ve double-checked my code, but I can’t find any missing parentheses. Could it be a problem with the Node.js version on the server?
yo, sounds like a node version mismatch. check ur versions with ‘node -v’ on both machines. if different, update the server. also peep that ‘kireina.sh’ script, might be doing smthn funky. if all else fails, try a fresh node install on the server. those core file errors can be a pain. gl fixing it!
Hey there, I’ve dealt with similar hiccups before when deploying bots. From what you’ve described, it sounds like there might be a version mismatch between your local setup and the server. First thing I’d do is check the Node.js version on both ends. Run ‘node -v’ locally and on the server to compare. If they’re different, try updating the server to match your local version. Another thing to look at is your ‘kireina.sh’ script. Sometimes these scripts can introduce weird issues, especially if they’re setting environment variables or using flags that aren’t compatible with the server’s setup. If none of that works, you might want to consider a fresh Node.js install on the server. I’ve seen corrupted core files cause cryptic errors like this before. Lastly, double-check your code for any ES6+ features that might not be supported by the server’s Node version. Sometimes these can slip through and cause unexpected syntax errors. Hope this helps! Let us know if you figure it out.
This error sounds like it might be related to Node.js version incompatibility on your dedicated server. I’ve encountered similar issues before, and it’s often due to subtle differences in how different Node versions handle certain syntax.
First, I’d recommend checking the Node.js version on both your local machine and the server. You can do this by running ‘node -v’ in the terminal. If they’re different, try updating the server’s Node.js to match your local version.
If that doesn’t work, take a look at your ‘kireina.sh’ script. Sometimes, environment variables or execution parameters in these scripts can cause unexpected behavior. Make sure it’s not introducing any syntax errors or using incompatible flags.
As a last resort, you might want to try a clean installation of Node.js on the server. Sometimes, corrupted core files can cause these cryptic errors. Good luck troubleshooting!
