Hey @slate swan! I noticed you posted a seemingly valid Discord API token in your message and have removed your message. This means that your token has been compromised. Please change your token immediately at: https://discord.com/developers/applications

Hey @strong plover!

I boost in league of legends. I figured why not make a bot that makes the process easier for a client to figure out a quote and get a payment form through stripe.
Simple enough, I was gonna start the task, I haven't been programming for years so I feel super rusty. I thought, why not ask chatGPT to make this for me, obviously their stuff is going to be out of date but I figured I would give it a shot.
This is what they came up with, since I haven't been coding for so long, I have little to no idea how to update it to the current state of discords api. Although I could probably figure it out.
Anyways, here's the generated code from chatgpt.

Thanks! I’m still quite new to this! 😉
https://github.com/Rapptz/discord.py/tree/master/examples there are a bunch of examples here if you wanna take a look
sick birch
```py
class MyBot(commands.Bot):
def __init__(self, *args, **kwargs):

You could remove the decorator, and do self.tree.on_error = self.on_app_command_error from within your __init__

i've already written a help command that inherits from HelpCommand so i guess i could just invoke it and get the output from that?
sick birch
can you show how I'd subclass CommandTree
class MyCustomTree(CommandTree):
async def on_error(interaction: Interaction, error: AppCommandError) -> None:
# handle error here
async def MyCustomBot(Bot):
def __init__(self, *args, **kwargs) -> None:
super().__init__(*args, **kwargs)
self.tree = MyCustomTree(...)
You can also customize other behaviour of CommandTree this way
hushed galleon
i don't get why context implements messageable but interaction doesn't
hmm in theory it should be possible for Interaction to implement a TextChannel-like interface required by most of the methods, maybe they just havent gotten around to doing so?
though polymorphism would get messy with the send() method because the set of parameters is different, e.g. ephemeral is only available for interaction, and reference isnt allowed, so what do you do? change the ABC so every Messageable "supports" both parameters?

Doubtful. For prefix commands, discord.py can pretty easily get all metadata for commands and generate documentation from that. Not sure how well it can do the same for app commands
You could probably write your own, though, if discord.py doesn't natively support it
ocean dragon
can I get the full stacktrace from AppCommandError into a string variable?

smoky sinew
i also tried ```py
discord.utils.get(message.guild.roles, name="Administrator")`...
you are saying two different things
you're saying you want to get the ID of the "Administrator" role
or you are saying that you want to get the id of the person who created the server
also, discord.utils.get will return the Role object
not the name
polar ice
Ah sorry my bad, both would work.
So i was just testing, ideally the administrator role id. but if thats to complicated then the owners id would also work
smoky sinew
you are doing discord.Guild.owner_id, you need message.guild.owner_id
it doesn't know which guild you are referring to when you say discord.Guild.owner_id

python/js make crappy fast results, which are kind of hard to make of good quality. Possible to make big products even in them, but it will be... very specific effort to fight language limits if wishing to achieve good quality.
Discord.py is especially pain due to bad code architecture design, forcing very bad architectural pattern, not easy to unit test
Java/C#/Golang make reliable results of higher code quality, where your application works in a stable well, with all covered static typed and handled errors in a code instead of runtime. End result is usually way nicer to extend and maintain

three (four) main problems of making python bots
- Static typing (can be compensated by Mypy) (gradual typing has its limits though)
- Worst code architecture design brought by Discord.py which is hard to unit test (i was able to solve it by redirecting input/output to CLI library argparse
- Python handles errors only at runtime (impossible to compensate for)
- Discord.py requires using async only solutions, which kind of makes additional headache to 2nd point. Python async ecosystem is not very mature. Already possible to use, but still kind of not always possible to apply async solutions. compensating with stuff like asyncio.to_thread solves problems though (again solvable, but still kind of additional headache brought by Discord.py)

- Static typing is not a part of python, and shouldn't.
- You simply don't unit test discord bots because it's all dependant on discords gateway connection triggering events, not yours, anything else that requires unit tests will be irrelevant to discordpy.
- That's because it's interpreted, that comes with a pro and a con.
- Discord bots should be written concurrently, otherwise you end up with a poorly written way of handling event driven connections like discord gateway, that will grow much more complexity and also add a ton of overhead.

I use go routines to keep in one of them constant listening to input from Discord. and having simple abstraction Discord API, which allows me to send to it actions i need without making my main code dirty by Discord. Coode unit testing in result. - any product can be made with quality and growing in requirements. Bots can be pretty complex backend systems too.

anyway, i just don't fight python for this. i already implemented new version in Golang and really liking end result.
with _ "embed" constructions of golang, even all templating files are embedded into fast compiled end binary result.
whole bot is a single binary file, that is just nice.
and i don't need any stuff like redis/celery for it. Golang go routines are very smooth working to be having nice multi threading in application without problems
and data corruption is not a problem once again due to easy to use mutexes there
all 4 parallel processes threads necessary to run for my application work pretty fine in Golang and experience no GILL issues 😁 sharing memory of variables, making very easily written app.

i also wanna access the .attachments field outside of it as well, after view.wait()
hushed galleon
point still stands, and from what i found in the source code the message objects associated with interactions arent part of the cache
ionic garden
view = Decision(...)
attach = [file] if show_map else []
await adventure_msg.edit(embed=embed, attachments=attach, view=view)
await view.wait()
```how would i get the message changes from the view here?the edit methods return a new Message object, store it
ionic garden
the view changes adventure_msg
hushed galleon
e.g. py message = await message.edit(...)
ionic garden
that's not the part that matters tho
hushed galleon
but again my point still stands, in-place updates of message objects do not happen if they are not stored in the client's message cache
if adventure_msg is not in the cache, you wont see its attributes update
ionic garden
so how would i fix this?
rn i have a hacky fix that involves storing relevant info in the attribute of the view
hushed galleon
either forcefully push the message into cache with internal methods, or use the newly created message object that the edit() method returns
ionic garden
again, the edit() here isn't what i'm after
hushed galleon
then where else are you getting the updated message from?
ionic garden
the view here has a method
ionic garden
```py
@ui.button(label="Toggle Map", row=1, style=discord.ButtonStyle.blurpl...
this one changes the message
hushed galleon
so why wont you store the resulting message object from the remove_attachments()/edit() methods that has the updated information?
ionic garden
fail to see how that would propogate back to adventure_msg
hushed galleon
the only way to propagate it is to share that message object back
store it on your view instance and access it there, then you can replace it whenever and your other method will be able to use it
ionic garden
oh, that's basically the same as my current method
just stored the relevant attribute in a self.field

Well I did throw it in the #community-meta a couple of times, but they always ended with not being able to monitor any misbehavior. I've said something like giving it out to certain members, to earn it so to speak. But that has already been done once and proved to still cause problems.
You could do privately but I'm not such a fan of that since I don't want people to send me messages if I'm working or taking some time off. I'd really enjoy if something like pair programming/ relaxed sessions with multiple people can occur. The company were I work at and I are experimenting with pair programming and demo's and find them to be quite effective and intriguing. Plus the added benefit if pointing out mistakes and learning from each other.
velvet compass
We do have an idea for having some events team members to do some workshops, but it is a decent amount of setup and work to layout what you are going to cover and how to show it best. Maybe a more informal "event" with someone having temporary stream permissions in the voice channels could work

instead of storing the rates in an interaction, cache it somewhere else like on your cog and then get from that cache when its available - multiple autocomplete + command interactions can then reference the same result and not spam the API

if 2 people run the same command twice, wouldn't it be possible for the value to be replaced by the latter command before the first command accesses it?

eh, for infrequent queries you wont see much benefit, though its also not that difficult to properly store and cleanup a session: py async def main(): async with bot, aiohttp.ClientSession() as session: bot.session = session await bot.start(...)

Since wouldn't it be better to just create a task and make an object to format the JSON?
cloud dawn
I mean it most likely won't change every minute and the keys are always the same so you don't need to actively refresh those imo.
Thinking about it you won't even need a task then.

ye ik, just havent done tasks within a cog before
ocean dragon
Thinking about it you won't even need a task then.
I do for updating the values
cloud dawn
But why? Just have a static list of the currency and fetch the value once you are converting it in the command.
hushed galleon
not sure why it's just not stored in the same interaction
an autocomplete interaction is its own interaction, isolated from the eventual app_command interaction your bot receives, the only way you're sharing data between the two is either embedding it in the value= of your choices or storing it externally in said cache
for the message above that, yeah it could turn into a race condition resulting in two concurrent requests

if I'm already fetching the values, I might as well update the symbols too

I don't think you understand what I'm saying. Here. So having a static list with all the currencies.. ```
['AED', 'AFN', 'ALL', 'AMD', 'ANG', 'AOA', 'ARS', 'AUD', 'AWG', 'AZN', 'BAM', 'BBD', 'BDT', 'BGN', 'BHD', 'BIF', 'BMD', 'BND', 'BOB', 'BRL', 'BSD', 'BTC', 'BTN', 'BWP', 'BYN', 'BZD', 'CAD', 'CDF', 'CHF', 'CLF', 'CLP', 'CNH', 'CNY', 'COP', 'CRC', 'CUC', 'CUP', 'CVE', 'CZK', 'DJF', 'DKK', 'DOP', 'DZD', 'EGP', 'ERN', 'ETB', 'EUR', 'FJD', 'FKP', 'GBP', 'GEL', 'GGP', 'GHS', 'GIP', 'GMD', 'GNF', 'GTQ', 'GYD', 'HKD', 'HNL', 'HRK', 'HTG', 'HUF', 'IDR', 'ILS', 'IMP', 'INR', 'IQD', 'IRR', 'ISK', 'JEP', 'JMD', 'JOD', 'JPY', 'KES', 'KGS', 'KHR', 'KMF', 'KPW', 'KRW', 'KWD', 'KYD', 'KZT', 'LAK', 'LBP', 'LKR', 'LRD', 'LSL', 'LYD', 'MAD', 'MDL', 'MGA', 'MKD', 'MMK', 'MNT', 'MOP', 'MRU', 'MUR', 'MVR', 'MWK', 'MXN', 'MYR', 'MZN', 'NAD', 'NGN', 'NIO', 'NOK', 'NPR', 'NZD', 'OMR', 'PAB', 'PEN', 'PGK', 'PHP', 'PKR', 'PLN', 'PYG', 'QAR', 'RON', 'RSD', 'RUB', 'RWF', 'SAR', 'SBD', 'SCR', 'SDG', 'SEK', 'SGD', 'SHP', 'SLL', 'SOS', 'SRD', 'SSP', 'STD', 'STN', 'SVC', 'SYP', 'SZL', 'THB', 'TJS', 'TMT', 'TND', 'TOP', 'TRY', 'TTD', 'TWD', 'TZS', 'UAH', 'UGX', 'USD', 'UYU', 'UZS', 'VES', 'VND', 'VUV', 'WST', 'XAF', 'XAG', 'XAU', 'XCD', 'XDR', 'XOF', 'XPD', 'XPF', 'XPT', 'YER', 'ZAR', 'ZMW', 'ZWL']

So like `/convert SYP LYD` then the from/ to values are defined. Commands get ran..
Inside the command fetch the json and get the from/to value and do math -> respond.yeah but it's still 1 request to the website even if I update the symbols

nah, like turn your own test server into community server
cloud dawn
yeah but it's still 1 request to the website even if I update the symbols
But with this method you'd still do only one request..?
ocean dragon
But with this method you'd still do only one request..?
why would I want to store statically if I get the symbols in the same request?
cloud dawn
why would I want to store statically if I get the symbols in the same request?
Because the currencies are always the same key. You wouldn't need the value just yet.
ocean dragon
but I store the value in the cog so I wont have to get it in the command
cloud dawn
but I store the value in the cog so I wont have to get it in the command
But then the values, as long as the bot is ran, will never get updated.
ocean dragon
they are if the interaction is different each time
async def fetch_rates(self, interaction: discord.Interaction, current: str) -> list[app_commands.Choice[str]]:
if not self.rates:
async with aiohttp.ClientSession() as session:
async with session.get("https://api.exchangerate.host/latest") as response:
data = await response.json()
self.rates = data["rates"]
symbols = self.rates.keys()
closest_symbols = difflib.get_close_matches(current.upper(), symbols, n=5, cutoff=0.0)
return [app_commands.Choice(name=str(symbol), value=str(symbol)) for symbol in closest_symbols]
But then you'd still do 1 request per command thus doing the same but way more complicated.
ocean dragon
its not more complicated
this way I wont have to have ugly static block in the code 😅
cloud dawn
hushed galleon
if you get the symbols alongside the values, you might as well keep em
invalidating the response after some time is a separate thing to work on
hushed galleon
they are if the interaction is different each time
oh right what im implying is different than this idea, if you cache the response on your cog then you'd be able to reuse it across multiple command invocations and reduce excessive bandwidth consumption
cloud dawn
I mean depends on how often the api updates it's values.
I'd most likely just refresh it every 10 seconds. Or use my method to get the values inside the command.

https://discordpy.readthedocs.io/en/stable/interactions/api.html#discord.app_commands.CommandInvokeError
check for CommandInvokeError and unwrap the original exception with the .original attribute: ```py
if isinstance(error, app_commands.CommandInvokeError):
original = error.original
if isinstance(error, UserNotFoundException):
...
or, with the getattr() shorthand:
error = getattr(error, "original", error)
if isinstance(error, UserNotFoundException):

or alternatively you can make your exception inherit AppCommandError and d.py will re-raise that exception so you dont need to deal with the CommandInvokeError stuff

yes but you should still be able to have cogs without any commands
hushed galleon
yeah that would make sense, but we dont have a time machine and the backend for cogs/extensions are too deeply intertwined with commands for the devs to unravel it
not to mention its not really a problem, the combined overhead probably isnt significant and its pretty easy to write cogs/extensions without commands
in other words, no one is suffering (yet)

neither of his two extensions are on pypi so you're required to install them by downloading the repository; if you have git, the command is simply pip install git+https://github.com/Rapptz/discord-ext-menus

you might need to uninstall one of the libraries, if youre using two different ones

the way you coded your bot is using library #2
