Discord API valid intents must be provided for the client [duplicate]

Publish date: 2024-05-02

I am programming a Discord bot. When I try to run a node, I get this in the CMD window:

C:\Users\utente\Desktop\bouncerBot\node_modules\discord.js\src\client\Client.js:544 throw new TypeError('CLIENT_MISSING_INTENTS');
^

I tried to search online for solutions, but I didn't find anything. I also activated the following potions in the bot settings, but nothing changes:

Enter image description here

This is my code, even if it is not the cause of the error:

File Main.js

const Discord = require('discord.js'); const fs = require('fs'); const client = new Discord.Client(); let rawdata = fs.readFileSync('config.json'); let config = JSON.parse(rawdata); const TOKEN = config.botToken const prefix = config.prefix client.login(TOKEN) client.on('message', message => { if (!message.content.startsWith(prefix) || message.author.bot) return; const args = message.content.slice(prefix.lenght).split(/ +/) const command = args[1].toLowerCase() console.log(args) // Command test! }) client.once('ready', () => { console.log("Discord bot online") }); 

File config.json:

{ "botToken":"", "prefix":"!pgc" } 

I also tried to update the code as follows:

const Discord = require('discord.js'); const fs = require('fs'); const { Client, Intents } = require('discord.js'); const client = new Client({ intents: [Intents.FLAGS.GUILDS, Intents.FLAGS.GUILD_MESSAGES] }); let rawdata = fs.readFileSync('config.json'); let config = JSON.parse(rawdata); const TOKEN = config.botToken const prefix = config.prefix client.on('message', message => { if (!message.content.startsWith(prefix) || message.author.bot) return; const args = message.content.slice(prefix.lenght).split(/ +/) const command = args[1].toLowerCase() console.log(args) // Command test! }) client.once('ready', () => { console.log("Discord bot online") }); client.login(TOKEN) 

But I still get an error:

This error originated either by throwing inside of an async function without a catch block, or by rejecting a promise which was not handled with .catch(). To terminate the node process on unhandled promise rejection, use the CLI flag --unhandled-rejections=strict (see https://nodejs.org/api/cli.html#cli_unhandled_rejections_mode). (rejection id: 2) (node:12216) [DEP0018] DeprecationWarning: Unhandled promise rejections are deprecated. In the future, promise rejections that are not handled will terminate the Node.js process with a non-zero exit code.

First of all, never show a token of your bot, or try to change it later.

Second of all:

Try using this. Since the new updated version of discord.js, like version ^13.0, you have to specify client intents:

const { Client, Intents } = require('discord.js'); const client = new Client({ intents: [Intents.FLAGS.GUILDS, Intents.FLAGS.GUILD_MESSAGES] }); 

And obviously, put client.login(TOKEN) at the very bottom.

For more updates required from new version of discord.js, see What's new.
