messageCreate event not getting emitted

[marku782]

Please describe the problem you are having in as much detail as possible:
If I send a message after the bot gets ready, the messageCreate does not get emitted.

Include a reproducible code sample here, if possible:

const dc = require('discord.js');
const client = new dc.Client({intents: [dc.Intents.FLAGS.GUILDS]});
client.on('messageCreate', (a) => {
    console.log(a.content)
})
client.on('ready', () => {
    console.log('ready as ' + client.user.tag)
})
client.login(token)

Further details:

• discord.js version: 13.1.0 (stable)
• Node.js version: v16.6.2
• Operating system: GNU/Linux Pop!_OS, but can be reproduced on a different machine with Ubuntu 18.04.5 LTS
• Priority this issue should have – please be realistic and elaborate if possible: If this is not my fault, i would consider it quite high as messages are quite relevant for most bots

Relevant client options:

• partials: none
• gateway intents: GUILD

You're missing the GUILD_MESSAGES intent alongside the GUILDS one

Same issue with the GUILD_MESSAGES intent.

Yeah, that worked, thank you very much and sorry for not trying that out before opening an issue.

It happens, don't worry! For questions, you should ask here or on our Discord server!

Hi I added in the GuildMessages, I am able to see the message logged on console but cannot see the message content
const dotenv = require("dotenv"); // Loading up the discord bot access token. dotenv.config(); // Logging the bot in const { Client, GatewayIntentBits } = require("discord.js"); const client = new Client({ intents: [ GatewayIntentBits.Guilds, GatewayIntentBits.DirectMessages, GatewayIntentBits.GuildMessages, ], }); // Listening to event emiited form the discord server // Listening to the ready event when the bot logs in client.on("ready", (event) => { console.log(${event.user.username} has logged in); }); // Listening to the message event when somebody types or deletes a text client.on("messageCreate", (message) => { console.log(message.content); }); // Activating the bot in the newly created discord server client.login(process.env.DISCORD_JS_BOTTOKEN);

This is a very old discussion - you also require the MessageContent intent in v14
