[Bug]: TypeError: Do not know how to serialize a BigInt

G33RY opened this issue 2 years ago · comments

What happened?

I have installed the basic starter kit and I am getting an error:
The only thing I installed after is the dotenv package.

When I remove all methods with the @slash decorator the bot starts without problem.

Reproduction

https://github.com/G33RY/starter-app

Package

discordx

Version

Stable

I want to second this issue. I have almost the same setup (with and without Dotenv) and I am getting the same error.

Please see this discord chat log for more info:

@G33RY Error occurs on version 16 of node for me, If your on that version (check using node -v) then try the next version, Node Version 17 or 18

@TeamWolfyta I tried this,
Update to 18.7.0. Updated all dependencies, clean build. and still the same error.
