This is my code:

const { MessageEmbed } = require("discord.js");
const Command = require("../../Utils/Command.js");

class Help extends Command {

    constructor(Bot) {
        super(Bot, {
            enabled: true,
            usages: ["help"],
            description: "Display bot commands and usage.",
            category: "General",
           options: [{
                name: "help",
                description: "Mostra i comandi del bot e il loro utilizzo.",
                type: 3
            }, {
                name: "write",
                description: "Scrivi un messaggio nel canale corrente.",
                type: 3
            }, {
                name: "kick",
                description: "Espelli un utente dal server.",
                type: 3 
            }]
        });
    }

    async run(interaction, guild, member, args) {
        const embed = new MessageEmbed()
            .setColor("#0099ff")
            .setTitle("Bot Help")
            .setDescription("Here are some of the bot commands and their usage:")
            .addFields(
                { name: "/help", value: "Mostra i comandi del bot e il loro utilizzo." },
                { name: "/write", value: "Scrivi un messaggio nel canale corrente." },
                { name: "/kick", value: "Espelli un utente dal server." }
            )
            .setFooter("Bot Help - Powered by Nikilite");

        const messageId = await interaction.reply({ embeds: [embed] });
    }
}

module.exports = Help;

Hello @Nikilite while we know that having an error can be frustrating remember that we are a community that helps each other! Have patience and someone will help you.

Now about your problem.

This indicates that the function reply doesn’t exist on the interaction object you are passing in the run method of your Help command.

So get rid of this:

And according to their documentation I’d suggest a few things…

First, if you are sure the command help will run quickly you can just use interaction.Reply directly. If you are not, you might want to defer the reply.

For the first case you can adapt your help command to use the interaction.reply:

const { MessageEmbed } = require("discord.js");
const Command = require("../../Utils/Command.js");

class Help extends Command {

    constructor(Bot) {
        super(Bot, {
            // rest of the code here
        });
    }

    async run(interaction, guild, member, args) {
        try {
            const embed = new MessageEmbed()
                .setColor("#0099ff")
                .setTitle("Bot Help")
                .setDescription("Here are some of the bot commands and their usage:")
                .addFields(
                    { name: "/help", value: "Mostra i comandi del bot e il loro utilizzo." },
                    { name: "/write", value: "Scrivi un messaggio nel canale corrente." },
                    { name: "/kick", value: "Espelli un utente dal server." }
                )
                .setFooter("Bot Help - Powered by Nikilite");

            // You just simply reply directly with the embed
            await interaction.reply({ embeds: [embed] });

        } catch (error) {
            console.error("There was an error sending the help message:", error);
        }
    }
}

module.exports = Help;

Thanks, now i show the console error:

There was an error sending the help message: TypeError: interaction.reply is not a function
    at Help.run (/home/runner/discord-slash-commands-bot-template/Commands/General/Help.js:42:31)

Can you check what discord.js version are you using?

Just run this in shell:

npm list discord.js

I think this is old. I need to update it now

~/discord-slash-commands-bot-template$ npm list discord.js
polemikal-altyapi-v12@1.0.0 /home/runner/discord-slash-commands-bot-template
└── discord.js@12.5.1

Uhhhhh

~/discord-slash-commands-bot-template$ node --version
v12.22.9

Oooohh you are using v12.

v12 does not have the interactions function. You need to update your library.

I tried to update it but it doesn’t work. Node.js is probably old too

Are you using replit?

I just started a new node.js template and tried to install discord.js, it’s installing the new version. You can start a new project and just copy/paster the code of your old one.

Yeah i am using replit. Ok i transfer ALL the script and files in a newer one. Thanks, see you when i finished

Node.js is not updating even in the new node.js template.
In fact I can’t install some packages

Can you share the link to your repl?

i have just resolved and now i can install the packages

now i have to test the application

new Repl but
image

Want me to start a new one so you can fork from my project?

Maybe that will work

try typing npm install -g node@versionhere in the shell

I put a web checker on the project link and after 2-3 days everything was finally updated

Now i need to update the script because there is a new error:

/home/runner/A/node_modules/discord.js/src/client/Client.js:509
      throw new DiscordjsTypeError(ErrorCodes.ClientMissingIntents);
      ^

}

Node.js v18.16.1
exit status 1

this is the problem, because the newer discord.js version is very different from the 12. I need to re-code all the files

 node index.js
/home/runner/A/index.js:113
const AllPermissions = new Permissions(Permissions.ALL).toArray();
                                                   ^

There’s a lot of changes that need to be made if you want invite me to your project I can take a look later
