I am trying to create a discord bot and when i try to run "node ." in cmd after creating the code for the bot in visual studio code, I get an error message about the Client missing intents. Here is the error message.
C:\MusicBot>node .
C:\MusicBot\node_modules\discord.js\src\client\Client.js:544
throw new TypeError('CLIENT_MISSING_INTENTS');
^

}
My code is as follows: (the 'x' are the bots clientID)
const Discord = require('discord.js');
const client = new Discord.Client();
client.once('ready', () => {
console.log ('Smegma Music is online!');
});
client.login('xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx'); //at end
It's a new issue that was not in discord v12
you could use this
const { Client, Intents } = require('discord.js');
const client = new Client({ intents: [Intents.FLAGS.GUILDS, Intents.FLAGS.GUILD_MESSAGES] });
OR
change discord to version 12
