Got a fancy new Discord Activity but found that your Launch button went missing? We've got a patch for that!
This happens when your Discord App is too old to have it, or if you've accidentally deleted it when, say, cleaning up your Discord Bot's slash commands. We have different ways for you to choose, depending on what you're using.
Method 1: Node.js Script
We've open sourced a smol Node.js script that you can just run in your terminal. It'll automatically create the missing entry command for you if it doesn't exist. Download the script and run it like so:
node entry-fix.js <DISCORD_CLIENT_ID> <DISCORD_TOKEN>
Replace <DISCORD_CLIENT_ID> and <DISCORD_TOKEN> with the actual values in your Discord Developer Portal. Yes, you need a Discord Bot token to fix your Discord Activity.
This method is recommended for those with Node.js installed, even if making Discord Apps using other languages.
Method 2: Shell Script
If you're on Linux or Mac, you can use a shell script instead of downloading and installing Node.js. Download the respective shell script and run it like so.
On Linux and macOS:
sh entry-fix.sh <DISCORD_CLIENT_ID> <DISCORD_TOKEN>
On Windows via PowerShell:
.\entry-fix.ps1 <DISCORD_CLIENT_ID> <DISCORD_TOKEN>
This method is recommended for those who don't have Node.js installed or prefer using shell scripts.
Method 3: @robojs/patch
Woah, you're using Robo.js? You're creating in luxury!
All you need to do is install @robojs/patch. That's it! It's a Robo Plugin, so it's integrated instantly.

Discord Activities are Fun!
Discord Activities are a fun way to engage with your community. They're like mini-games or interactive experiences that you can create and share with others. Robo.js is a powerful framework that makes building Discord Activities easy and fun. Discord Activities are often built using HTML, CSS, and JavaScript like any other web app, but they run inside Discord itself.
If you don't already have a Discord Activity, you can create one in seconds with Robo.js.
npx create-robo <projectName> -k activity
