[Bug]: TypeError: Do not know how to serialize a BigInt

See original GitHub issue

What happened?

I have installed the basic starter kit and I am getting an error: The only thing I installed after is the dotenv package.

When I remove all methods with the @Slash decorator the bot starts without problem.

Reproduction

https://github.com/G33RY/starter-app

Package

discordx

Version

Stable

Relevant log output
