Why am I getting errors when starting the bot?

The reasons might be:

  • You have a syntax error in one of your configuration files (config.json or system.json). Double check your JSON syntax. Editors and IDEs like VS Code should highlight the errors if you have any.
  • You have set an option to an invalid value. In that case, check the error message for more information about which option received the invalid value.
  • You have an invalid value in one of the environment variables or in .env. For example, maybe you have a typo in your database URL. Double check all the credentials.

If none of these steps help, please be sure to let us know, by creating a GitHub issue.
