setActivity/setPresence not working (undefined)

Code Help - Discord

My Code:
const Discord = require(‘discord.io’, ‘discord.js’);
var logger = require(‘winston’);
var auth = require(’./auth.json’);
logger.remove(logger.transports.Console);
logger.add(new logger.transports.Console, {
colorize: true
});
logger.level = ‘debug’;
var bot = new Discord.Client({
token: auth.token,
autorun: true
});
bot.on(‘ready’, function (evt) {
logger.info(‘Connected’);
logger.info(‘Logged in as: ‘);
logger.info(bot.username + ’ - (’ + bot.id + ‘)’);
console.log(‘Launched Bot Successfully…’);
});
bot.on(‘ready’, () => { – I have tried all sorts of things here, and none work. This is my first bot too so please excuse the mess
bot.user.setPresence({ game: { name: ‘with discord.js’ }, status: ‘idle’ })
.then(console.log)
.catch(console.error);
})
bot.on(‘message’, function (user, userID, channelID, message, evt) {
if (message.substring(0, 1) == ‘!’) {
var args = message.substring(1).split(’ ');
var cmd = args[0];

    args = args.splice(1);
    switch(cmd) {
        case 'launchtest':
            bot.sendMessage({
                to: channelID,
                message: 'Launch successful!'
            });
        break;
     }
 }

});

Error I’m getting:

This is offtopic. But in your code you define your bot token like this:

var auth = require('./auth.json');
var bot = new Discord.Client({
	token: auth.token,
	autorun: true
});

This is bad because your token is not secure there.

Try using enviroment variables.

Modify your .env file

TOKEN=your-bot-token-here

Then in your bot.js file

var bot = new Discord.Client({
	token: process.env.TOKEN,
	autorun: true
});

Then I tried your function of bot.on('ready', ...) with my bot (using discord.js) and it work.

I don’t know why you have discord.io and discord.js in the same variable. I’ve never saw that. Maybe you should choose one. I’m talking about your first line

Discord.io is not supported. Kindly switch over to discord.js
