Hey, so I’m EXTREMELY new to everything coding. I’m trying to code a Discord bot- by following a YouTube tutorial, of course- and have made it through almost everything. I’m using Visual Studio Code and node.js. When I try to turn my bot online by running node . in cmd, nothing happens. Here’s my main.js file in visual studio code:
const Discord = require(‘discord.js’);
const client = new Discord.Client();
client.once(‘ready’, () => {
console.log(‘TestBot is online!’);
};
client.login(‘my bot token’);
According to the tutorial, running node . should activate the bot. However, when I run it, this pops up:
SyntaxError: missing ) after argument list

Is there something I’m doing wrong? Like I said, I’m extremely new to all this, and it’s entirely possible that I’m just being dumb. Any help would be appreciated!
