找不到 Discord 机器人的模块“discord.js”

Question

Since I have a fair amount of free time on my hands I figured I'd set myself a project, so I decided to build a discord bot. I may in the future make it more complicated but at the moment I just want to get it working, this is my code thus far (minus my token):

This code worked completely fine about an hour ago, then suddenly it didn't. I started randomly getting this error (I should make clear that I made no changes in the code to cause this issue. It just worked one minute, and then didn't the next):

C:\Program Files\nodejs\node.exe .\index.js
Process exited with code 1
Uncaught Error: Cannot find module ‘discord.js’

I have tried the following:

• Uninstalling discord.js, then reinstalling it.
• Checking to see if the 'Discord' should be capitalised or not.
• Changing the version on the 'version' of my package.json.
• Completely rewriting my code from scratch in a new file.
• Reducing the code to just that first line of code.
• Running Visual Studio Code in administrator mode.
• Tweaking the code such that I provided an exact file location instead of just 'discord.js'.

None of these have worked. I am basically brand new to coding (hence the very simple code) and just fancied messing around with it, but I have genuinely no idea what caused my issue or how to fix it as I have checked everything I can think of.

Any ideas?

Answer 1

So in raw defiance to this useless community, I now have a working bot, although admittedly I just found a guide that worked (previous ones didn't, I still don't know why), then copied their code.
The guide can be found here:

Maybe installing 'discord.io' directly into the same folder as the code might have been the fix? Although I'm not sure why that would be it if fiddling with the directory didn't work?

Either way, I hope this helps anyone with the same issue !
