Discord Bot not going online

Question

require("dotenv").config();
const { Client, Intents } = require("discord.js");

const client = new Client({
  intents: [Intents.FLAGS.GUILDS, Intents.FLAGS.GUILD_MESSAGES],
});

client.on("ready", () => {
  console.log("bot is ready");
});

client.login(process.env.DISCORD_BOT_TOKEN).catch((e) => {
  console.log(e);
});

OUTPUT

HTTPError [ReferenceError]: AbortController is not defined
    at RequestHandler.execute (g:\goofy-translator\node_modules\discord.js\src\rest\RequestHandler.js:172:15)
    at RequestHandler.execute (g:\goofy-translator\node_modules\discord.js\src\rest\RequestHandler.js:176:19)
    at RequestHandler.push (g:\goofy-translator\node_modules\discord.js\src\rest\RequestHandler.js:50:25)

  code: 500,
  method: 'get',
  path: '/gateway/bot',
  requestData: { json: undefined, files: [] }
}

The error is caused by client.login() method.Already triple checked the bot token and all seems fine. The problem isn't in the enviroment varible either, because also doesn't work when I pass the token directly.

[Resolved] The problem was the node version, discord.js requires v16 min

There is not much I can do if all you are saying is that it throws an error. Log the error and see what it says. — Wowkster, Sep 17 '21 at 03:19
Yes I know that, but you need to actually log the error thats causing the problem — Wowkster, Sep 17 '21 at 03:25
I printed the exception, if thats what you were talking about — Filipe Coutinho, Sep 17 '21 at 03:29

Since version 13 of Discord.js, the library requires that you use a more recent Node.js version. According to the docs, you need to use Node.js version v16.6.0 or higher.

For more information about how to change your node version, or use multiple node versions, see NVM for Windows or NVM for Linux depending on your OS.
