Why can't I log into the Discord.js client?

Question

This code isn't working, it never logs Ready! to the console. It's also not logging out any errors, so I believe it may have logged in correctly but just isn't working. Does anyone have any pointers?

var Discord = require("discord.js");
var client = new Discord.Client();

client.login('myEmail', 'myPassword', output);

client.on('ready', () => {
  console.log("Ready!");
});

function output(error, token) {
        console.log("errorz!");
        if (error) {
            console.log("There was an error logging in: ${error}");
            return;
        } else {
            console.log("`Logged in. Token: ${token}`");
        }
}

Just to make sure I am doing this right, I have put this in a file called discord-fisher.js and I am running it using node discord-fisher.js from the terminal.

Per the documentation for Discord.js for Client#login :

.login( token )

Logs the client in, establishing a websocket connection to Discord.

So when you use login , you don't provide your email or password details, you provide your API token associated with your account .
