Hi, welcome @Austin_Westphal

That looks like C# syntax for the null-coalescing operator. In JavaScript, you’d use || instead.

So please try

const token = this.client.token || this.client.accessToken;

Hope it helps :slight_smile:

@SteGriff nullish coalescing is actually supported in js, but it’s a relatively new feature and works differently to the logical or.
@Austin_Westphal can you make sure you’re using node v14 or above? In your package.json, add the following:

"engines": { 
  "node": "14.x"
}

However it looks like you’re probably using discord.js v13, so you’ll need to use node 16 instead.
Happy Glitching!

@Austin_Westphal If it’s a public project, can you tell us your Glitch project name?

Just noticed that the error is inside module code, not user code… this is not my finest hour :joy:
