Sorry, the debugger is only available on Google Chrome
and i’m getting Hmm… We’re having trouble connecting. Try refreshing? and bot discord is not online
Could be related to the Glitch outage that happened a few minutes ago.
If you run ls in your project’s console are the files listed.
Also, could you please send your project name so we can take a look and try to diagnose the problem!
the parsing issue has been happening for a while now
Ah, ok. Could you send your project name?
Related to the parsing issue, the file couldn’t be found on the disk (looking in the wrong directory possibly). Otherwise, the JSON could be invalid or corrupted.
mr-cupcake is the bot name
Your JSON files look like this…
It could be because your thinks the file is JSON. Otherwise, DBM (Discord Bot Maker) is not designed for troubleshooting. (Also, creating your own bot from scratch is a good learning experience!)
@devpixel12 Please send me an invite to the project so I could get a closer look please!
The project isn’t private.
so i should just make my own bot?
There is a chance you could troubleshoot it. But in the progress you will maybe loose all of the bot’s user data, etc. At the moment, the bot won’t do anything as all of the data is corrupted and therefore useless.
EDIT: I haven’t used DBM before and I’m not familiar with it.
You use discord bot maker I assume, which if you do, then you most likely did pay for it, because it is not free.
Could you please allow me edit permission in the project.
can’t you just tell me what part to fix as i don’t really want to
I cannot answer that as I cannot see what could be causing this.
The code is literately public. Just go to https://glitch.com/edit/#!/mr-cupcake
Due to the nature of DBM (mainly not to be edited) you may not be able to fix your bot at all.
One thing you could try is re-uploading the JSON files form what device was used to create the bot.
okay i will try that
You can also try using the rewind feature and see if the files were ok at any earlier point, and copy them over from the previous rewind point.
Aha! I’ve found the issue.
It appears that DBM encrypts the files. However, since you must of started the bot on your device then uploaded it to Glitch, the config files were allready encrypted.
Decrypting an encrypted file can only be done on the machine is was encrypted on.
Basically, if you can get DBM to generate you brand new code then do that then immediately upload it to Glitch and DONT RUN IT ON YOUR MACHINE. Then, it should work.
what do you mean by new a code?
If the solution @charliea21 does work, then I suggest making your project private as anyone will be able to see your code and even your bots token! Which would not be good.
do you mean a new bot token?
You will not need to generate your bot token as it is not in the project currently, but when you do add the files to the project in a working state, just click the project name in the top left corner and click the make private button!
No, no no. Can you get DBM to generate/build/make you some new code then upload it to Glitch without running it on your machine/device.
i don’t know about the not running it on your machine/device as i’m useing an uptimerobot to keep the bot alive
He means on your local pc, where you made the bot initially!
:faceplam:
What I mean is when you got the code you ran it on your PC which caused the encryption issue.
so you mean to save the code i get from my computer and run it on another computer
?
I asked you to go to the files on your pc that are having the problem in the editor, and copy the contents, and that has worked, it should be fine now!
