ViewsGetting weird errors when running node index.js w/npm
Okay so I was trying to make a discord bot following a tutorial when I noticed some weird errors.
This is my code:
const Discord = require('discord.js');
const client = new Discord.Client();
const prefix = '-';
client.once('ready', () => {
console.log('JokeBot is online!')
});
client.on('message', message => {
if(!message.content.startsWith(prefix) || message.author.bot ) return;
const args = message.content.slice(prefix.lenght).split(/ +/);
const command = args.shift().toLowerCase();
if(command === 'ping'){
message.channel.send('pong!');
}
});
client.login(YOUR_TOKEN);
And these are the errors:
Debugger attached.
Waiting for the debugger to disconnect...

throw err;

May I remind you that running npm install on those packages didn't work and just returned a lot of npm errors.
I don't know what to do
Edit:
It's still saying that even when I updated node.js

I think the issue is happening because you are using nodejs less than version 16.6.0. discord.js requires node.js version more than or equal to 16.6.0. Try running node -v command in your terminal and that might be less than 16.6.0 then download and install that version of node.
Also add this in your package.json
"engines": {
"node": ">=16.6.0"
}
Also, in your code, you misspelled length.

in order to use discord.js. So You just need to update nodejs to v16.6. And Your error will be solved.
