Why isn't DiscordJS Function properly and sending a can not find module error?


I updated the node and discord.js version of my bot(Hosted on Repl.it), and since then I can not seem to use the DiscordJS Library. I have two bots I am using, one is working properly even though it is like the latest version while the other one, which I updated, is not working properly. So I thought there must be something wrong with my Repl(Project), so I created a new one. However, that still does not work. It throws the error:

Require stack:

I tried to debug it myself and first omit the DiscorJS Library and run the program with a console.log() statement, and it works without an error. So there is something wrong with either NodeJS or DiscordJS. Why is this happening?


Solution

  • I found the solution after some more debugging.

    1. Type npm install node@16 in the shell.
    2. Create a new file on the main directory of the Repl with the name .replit and type run = "npx node index.js" in it. Now try to run the file. It should work with the DiscordJS Library
