Interactions Endpoint URL Needed?

[nickhempsey]

I'm a bit confused atm. I've had a bot on v12 for a little over a year and decided to look into upgrading to v13 to start utilizing slash commands and some of the new interactions. I followed the guide and got as far as getting the slash commands registered and listening for interactionCreate.

However, when I use them they throw an ephemeral error that says "The application did not respond". The client.on('interactionCreate') doesn't seem to be firing at all. When I console.log the interaction I get no response.

I have also done the official Discord "create your bot" tutorial and in that you need to set up an interaction endpoint url using express and ngrok (for local) then add to bot settings. The Discord.js guides don't cover this, at least that I could find.

Is this a step that needs to be done? If so, where do I point it at? Are there routes pre-configured in Discord.js?

I'm currently in local and have Ngrok setup incase that's needed. I'm hosted on Heroku for the production version.

All of my other commands are still working with messageCreate, so the bot is definitely listening to events.

// Listen for Slash Commands ... not much different than the guide. 
client.on('interactionCreate', async interaction => {

  // Nothing is logging...
  console.log(interaction);

  if (!interaction.isCommand()) return;

  // I'm using client.slashCommands because my old messageCreate commands are on client.commands
  const command = client.slashCommands.get(interaction.commandName);

  if (!command) return;

  try {
    await command.execute(interaction);
  } catch (error) {
    console.error(error);
    await interaction.reply({ content: 'There was an error while executing this command!', ephemeral: true });
  }

});

Thanks for any advice you can provide.

Your code seems fine. Do you have the scope application.commands enabled in DDevs Portal?

[vvito7]

Weird, I can use you code just fine, it logs the interaction and executes it.

[nickhempsey]

You didn't have to setup an interaction endpoint?

[vvito7]

No, it's not needed.

[nickhempsey]

I fixed it.

Oh man, I feel stupid. When I created the initial Official Discord Guide Bot I set the Endpoint URL and never unset it so it was never getting a response. I also reorganized my bot to have a new directory just for the slashCommands and I never called it back into my index.js. facepalm.

Thanks for your help, I seem to be good to go now. :)
