Discordjs add space between prefix and command

Question

I created a music bot that streams music when someone taps !play in-text channel

Now I want to switch !play with please play but it response only with pleaseplay with no space between them and when I tried to change the code:

const prefix = 'please'; //before
const prefix = 'please '; //after

but it doesn't work at all with an error

log (node:5296) UnhandledPromiseRejectionWarning: Error: No video id found:

Edit: Full upgraded code... also clear like a crystal.

const {Client, Attachment, Message} = require('discord.js');
const {token} = require("./config.json");
const bot = new Client();
const prefix = 'please';

const ytdl = require("ytdl-core");
const request = require('request');
const cheerio = require('cheerio');

const queue = new Map();


bot.on('ready', () => {
  console.log('Client is online!');
}

bot.on("message", async message => {
  let content = message.content.split(' ');

  if (message.author.bot) return;

  if (content.shift() !== prefix) return;

  const serverQueue = queue.get(message.guild.id);

  switch (content.shift()) {
    case 'play': exec(content, message, serverQueue); break;
    case 'skip': skip(content, message, serverQueue); break;
    case 'stop': stop(content, message, serverQueue); break;
    default: message.channel.send("You need to enter a valid command!");
  }
});


async function exec (ctx, msg, que) {
  const voiceChannel = msg.member.voice.channel;
  if (!voiceChannel)
    return msg.channel.send(
      "You need to be in a voice channel to play music!"
    );

  const permissions = voiceChannel.permissionsFor(msg.client.user);

      playing: true
    };

    queue.set(msg.guild.id, queueContruct);

    queueContruct.songs.push(song);

    try {
      var connection = await voiceChannel.join();

  const serverQueue = queue.get(gui.id);
  if (!sng) {
    serverQueue.voiceChannel.leave();
    queue.delete(gui.id);
    return;
  }

  const dispatcher = serverQueue.connection
    .play(ytdl(sng.url))
    .on("finish", () => {

    .on("error", error => console.error(error));
  dispatcher.setVolumeLogarithmic(serverQueue.volume / 5);

Answer 2

The problem is that your arguments are split based on the space character.

const args = message.content.split(" ");

args[1] is being referenced to get the text after the command name, but with the space in the command, args[1] will always be "play" (or whichever command they are using)

A quick fix would be to change args[1] to args[2]

const songInfo = await ytdl.getInfo(args[2]);
