I’m facing an issue with my Discord bot. It used to work fine, but now it’s not connecting when I start it up. The weird thing is, there are no error messages or any feedback at all.
I recently updated Node.js to version 9.2.1, but when I check the version, it shows 5.6.0. This discrepancy is confusing me.
Has anyone encountered a similar problem or have any ideas what might be causing this? I’m really stuck and would appreciate any help or suggestions on how to troubleshoot this issue.
I’ve been there, mate. Sounds like you’re dealing with a Node.js version mismatch. First off, try running ‘nvm list’ to see all installed versions, then use ‘nvm use x.x.x’ to switch to the correct one. If that doesn’t work, you might need to manually update your system’s PATH.
As for the bot connection, double-check your config file. Make sure your bot token is correct and hasn’t expired. Also, verify your bot’s permissions on Discord’s developer portal.
Those npm warnings are just noise, wouldn’t worry about them too much. Focus on sorting out your Node.js version first, that’s likely the culprit here. If all else fails, consider rolling back to the last working version of Node.js you had. Sometimes, the latest isn’t always the greatest.
bruh, sounds like a real headache. have u tried checkin ur firewall settings? sometimes they block discord bots from connectin. also, that node.js version thing is weird af. maybe try uninstallin completely and grabbin the latest LTS version? good luck man, hope u figure it out!
The Node.js version discrepancy is likely the root cause here. Your system might be using an older version in the PATH. Try running ‘which node’ to see which installation is being used. If it’s not the one you just installed, update your PATH environment variable.
As for the bot connection issue, check your Discord developer portal to ensure your bot token is still valid. Sometimes tokens can expire or be revoked. Also, verify your bot’s permissions in the server it’s trying to connect to.
Those npm warnings are minor and shouldn’t affect your bot’s functionality. They’re just suggesting you add repository and license fields to your package.json file for best practices.
