this should work, are you using a venv?
btw don't make Api calls on on_ready event, don't load extension inside it too, on_ready is an event that could be dispatched multiple times so you'll probably get an error while loading the extensions (like extension already loaded)

@bot.event

if the error occurs inside your command itself, its wrapped into a commands.CommandInvokeError so retrieving the underlying exception (i.e. Forbidden) requires accessing the .original attribute

- on_command_error doesn't take *args and **kwargs, just ctx and the exception
- why are you using asyncio.create_task? you're already inside an async context
- you gotta access the
originalattribute from the exception. Use something likeexception = getattr(event, "original", event)
slate swan
ah alr
personally think using create_task ( or swapping the order of sending messages to channel and user ) is better than a direct await ctx.author.send .... the user might have their dms closed.
winged coral
How is using create task going to change the fact that their DMs are closed?
The error can* be handled the same regardless
slate swan
How is using create task going to change the fact that their DMs are closed?
it won't block the next line, that's all
as i mentioned in the bracket, or swapping the order...
hushed galleon
if you did care about the exception then try/excepting it would be a better idea, to avoid the noise of an uncaught task exception
winged coral
Yeah ^ I don't think shoving the error into a different context is the best way to ignore it
hushed galleon
as for sending both messages at the same time i guess that's fine if you want to do so

If you don't know what one is it probably isn't an issue. How are you running python?

Wait so, i am heavily confused what should I be doing then?
slate swan
is this all on one bot?
slate swan
if so you can't load cogs per guild. all cogs will be registered to every guild no matter what. what you can do inside the cog is set those commands to one guild using guild_ids=[] so the commands arent regsitered globally
slate swan
then you can use default_member_permissions=discord.Permissions(administrator=True) so only ppl in ur server with admin perm will see the cmds
slate swan
This code is running multiple bot instances at once
why tho?
still elbow
Its so i wont have to create a new file each time I make the bot
Every bot that gets added is a private bot for another server
slate swan
that just complicates things and i don't even think that is reliable
still elbow
they all run the same code
slate swan
yeah but that won't work
still elbow
that just complicates things and i don't even think that is reliable
So far it has been aside from the slash commands not loading
slate swan
yea because u have multiple bots running
still elbow
I have decided to not do that
I am now running the same file, but different bot instances
slate swan
well apparently you can run multiple bots in one file lmao.
but again i think you are better off runing different instances

Id prefer running multiple bots, since Im using a command to addthe bot

slate swan
because it doesn't do anything other than load a cog

thats part of it. Its way more too it
slate swan
if var.owner: this will always be executed becuz their is always a guild owner so you will always load the Owner cog
still elbow
Should I check if the guild.owner is me instead?
still elbow
`if var.owner_id == your_id:`
wait var isnt a guild instance
def fetch_client(id):
for i in range(0, len(clients)):

came up with the start of a new bot idea
a mostly social survival game, most commands require someone else from the server to interact in some way. then the results would be something like your friend in the server finds food and can decide whether to eat it all or share it 
then people from other servers can randomly show up and impact your game somehow

createdvc is he ID of the interface channel, and not the one owned by the user
Well the voice channel you're creating afterwards
In the code you showed you only create two channels, interface and "Join to Create"
Somewhere you create a channel with the user's name
ID of that channel should be saved in the DB as createdvc
Right, so output.id you need to save it in the DB somewhere, and then use that ID when selecting to change the channel's name in callback
Well, I'd rename the field to interfaceid and not createdvc
And then here, you replace createdvc with output.id
Keep this like that
But rename the column from createdvc to interfaceid
Since you store the interface channel ID
Then in here, you add a new SQL query to store output.id in createdvc column
You'll need a interfaceid and createdvc column
Yeah that's fine
Nah output.id is not defined there
You need to set to something like 0
Then when you create a voice channel, it will be saved
In that part you only save the interfaceid and jointocreatevc
Then in here you save the createdvc
Yeah you need to set a default value for createdvc in the database settings, can be something like 0

alr
slate swan
Depends if you have auto commit enabled
upper berry
Assuming alr supports it, use it to parameterise your SQL. Don't use f-string.
And honestly, using a sub-query to find out if the entry exists feels wrong. Perhaps there's some Postgres optimisation, but unless you have a very specific need, just select count(*), or better select for update in a transaction
slate swan
In any case I'm 99% sure you need to `commit` somewhere
i figured it out
all i had to do was a bit of concatenation or whatever they call it:
await db.run_query('update inviteblocker set whitelist_roles = whitelist_roles || '+"'{"+str(role.id)+"}'")
That is bad
Use the parameterisation
Don't use f-strings, or concatination.
So something like this:
db.run_query('update inviteblocker set whitelist_roles = whitelist_roles || {?}', str(role.id))
But this assumes that "alr" supports this kind of thing. It it does not, you don't want to use it.

for input in option of slash command, will it work?
Yeah you said it wrongly above, you can lower that in the code, yes
Would be arg.lower()
slate swan
Would be `arg.lower()`
where would i put that?
In your slash command code
!d discord.StageChannel.members
unkempt canyonBOT
slate swan
check if the member object is in the return value @slate swan
slate swan
In your slash command code

Where can I learn how to make a discord currency bot? with slash commands, using...
You should use an asynchronous SQLite library like aiosqlite or something
slate swan
is this possible?
@bot.slash_command(name"testcommand", description="Test")
async def test(ctx):
#if user respond = hi
await ctx.respond("hello")
#if user respond = test
await ctx.respond("test")
something like this is possible?
brazen raft
Just saying
Also you should only connect to the database once in the start up of the bot
slate swan
ok
slate swan
is this possible?
@bot.slash_command(name"testcommand", description="Test")
as...
!d discord.ext.commands.Bot.wait_for
unkempt canyonBOT
slate swan
wait for "message"
async def test(ctx:discord.ext.commands.Bot.wait_for):
Maybe you want to learn python, at least the basics, before doing a bot

slate swan
or you can ask asher to code for u, he's a nice person

Also you should only connect to the database once in the start up of the bot
Why?
sqlite doesnt have connection pools
slate swan
they actually mean having a single connection throughout the bot ig
upbeat gust
they actually mean having a single connection throughout the bot ig
cool? thats exactly what they said
slate swan
yeah and that explains the "why", creating connections inside the commands may cause multiple connections writing in the file at the same time, since sqlite databases are just files and not actual database servers

..and whats wrong with multiple connections?
theres even a feature to assist with concurrent operations, https://www.sqlite.org/wal.html
Heres an example of why not to use a shared connection/cursor https://gist.github.com/sgtlaggy/9d43d5223314d559792ea6544673f1da
slate swan
..and whats wrong with multiple connections?
you might face database locked errors?
shrewd apex
just use asyncpg make life easier
slate swan
Heres an example of why _not_ to use a shared connection/cursor https://gist.git...
could have simply used 2 different cursors

Does anyone have a discord bot code? For reaction roles i can read and learn? Im using replit (python)
slate swan
You're just one google search away to finding that

just started making a bot, this comes up with an error when i run it (im using replit)
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "main.py", line 4, in <module>
client = discord.Client()
TypeError: __init__() missing 1 required keyword-only argument: 'intents'
!intents

velvet compass
Is the client.user part normal?
paper sluice
misspelled on_ready
slate swan
Yeah that seems normal, though I'd rather use message.author.bot to ignore bots
slate swan
misspelled `on_ready`
oops
slate swan
ive added this code and same error
In that case you haven't added it properly.
bot = commands.Bot(command_prefix="!", intents=intents)
For you it will be needed in discord.Client(intents=intents)
Finally fixed the error and moving on to the next one
Best feeling of coding
How would I get the author of a messageโs id?
m = channel.fetch_message(id)
m.author
What if i dont have have message id
How would I get the author of a messageโs id?
That implies you have the ID
slate swan
> How would I get the author **of a messageโs id**?
That implies you have the ID
I mean how do i get the id of soemoen who posted a msg
???
