Error: ENOENT: no such file or directory, scandir './commands/'

im not experienced at coding but i’m trying to make a command handler file for my discord bot but this message shows up

my code:

const Discord = require(‘discord.js’);
const bot = new Discord.Client();
const token = “my token”;
const PREFIX = “.”;

const fs = require(‘fs’);
bot.commands = new Discord.Collection();

const commandFiles = fs.readdirSync(’./commands/’).filter(file => file.endsWith(’.js’));
for(const file of commandFiles){
const command = require(./commands/${file});

bot.commands.set(command.name, command);

}

bot.on(‘ready’, () => {
console.log(“The bot is active and ready to go!”);
});

bot.on(‘message’, message => {
let args = message.content.substring(PREFIX.length).split(" ");

switch (args[0]) {

    case "greet":
        bot.commands.get('greet').execute(message, args);
    break;

    case "hello":
        bot.commands.get('draft').execute(message, args);
    break;
}

});

bot.login(token);

don’t know how to fix it.

Please avoid swearing on the forum, or replying to your own post with non-constructive comments.

const Discord = require(‘discord.js’);
const bot = new Discord.Client();
const token = “my token”;
const PREFIX = “.”;

const fs = require(‘fs’);
bot.commands = new Discord.Collection();

const commandFiles = fs.readdirSync(’. / commands / ’).filter(file => file.endsWith(’.js’));
for (const file of commandFiles) {
    const command = require(. / commands / $ {
        file
    });

    bot.commands.set(command.name, command);
}

bot.on(‘ready’, () => {
    console.log(“The bot is active and ready to go!”);
});

bot.on(‘message’, message => {
    let args = message.content.substring(PREFIX.length).split(" ");

    switch (args[0]) {

        case "greet":
            bot.commands.get('greet').execute(message, args);
            break;

        case "hello":
            bot.commands.get('draft').execute(message, args);
            break;
    }
});

bot.login(token);

Some stuff I noticed:

1. You are using unicode curly quotation marks. Use "" or '' instead.
2. for (const file of commandFiles) {... - file might be being mutated, so you can try using let file instead?

Furthermore, I don’t know what errors you are having. Please post a screenshot or copy/paste it into a comment!

sorry for swearing, won’t happen again. also, i apologize for the late response.

here’s a screenshot of my code:

don’t understand what you’re trying to tell me when you say

1. for (const file of commandFiles) {... - file might be being mutated, so you can try using let file instead?

Oh I just meant for you to try using let file instead of const file. Could you send screenshots of the errors you are getting?
