Uhm

File "main.py", line 1986
await ctx.send(f'The game is now starting! {player_one} vs {player_two}. {current_player}'s turn')
^
SyntaxError: unterminated string literal (detected at line 1986)

[naive briar]

It has to be exactly like what you copied from the portal

Without any changes

[lost lichen]

i am aware, that is exactly what I have done

[naive briar]

Your string is already closed

Use double quotes instead

[lost lichen]

hmm wait, its something with my env file

alright, thanks for the help!

[zinc jay]

await ctx.send(f”The game is now starting! {player_one} vs {player_two}. {current_player}”s turn')

[fresh ferry]

i cant make a url any help ??

[zinc jay]

This?

[naive briar]

Select bot

[naive briar]

No

await ctx.send(f"The game is now starting! {player_one} vs {player_two}. {current_player}'s turn")

[fresh ferry]

i did

still nothing

[naive briar]

Show all options

[naive briar]

Did you enable bot in the bot tab

[smoky sinew]

try refreshing your page

[naive briar]

🤨

[smoky sinew]

@vestal shale don't use a free host, especially not a free discord bot host they're extremely sketchy

[vestal shale]

I made my own bot but I want to host it so it is online 24/7

[fresh ferry]

just use your pc

or a raspberry pi

[vestal shale]

I dont keep it on 24/7 but I have a raspberry pi

[smoky sinew]

you can host it there pretty easily

[vestal shale]

Any recommended yt tuts or something?

[fresh ferry]

you'll pay .15c at most for power every day its nothing

[vestal shale]

I dont care about the bill

[smoky sinew]

just plug it in, transfer all of your code to there, and then ssh into it and run it

[vestal shale]

As long as its reliable

[smoky sinew]

you can use SCP to transfer code

[fresh ferry]

get filezila on your pc and raspberry pi

automate the ftp for both sides and trust me as long as the raspberry pi goes undisturbed it will be more reliable then the missus

[smoky sinew]

why filezilla bruh

[fresh ferry]

well any ftp will work xD

[smoky sinew]

scp is already installed

and it uses ssh

you just have to enable it in the raspberry pi settings

[fresh ferry]

but you may want to buy a hdmi to mini hdmi adapter to fix the lag when connecting via vnc when making it headless

how come i get this when i call voice_client.stop() i want to stop the current track and start a new one when the user wants it

2023-03-08 18:19:06 INFO     discord.player ffmpeg process 7948 has not terminated. Waiting to terminate...
2023-03-08 18:19:06 INFO     discord.player ffmpeg process 7948 should have terminated with a return code of 1.

but it just doesn't play when i call voice_client.play() after this

[shrewd apex]

out of the box thinking

[fresh ferry]

async def play_next_track(voice_client):
    # Stop the current track and wait for the FFmpeg process to terminate
    voice_client.stop()
    await voice_client.wait_for('on_stop')

    # Start playing the next track
    voice_client.play(...)```

use that

[smoky sinew]

what's the point of vnc

literally what's wrong with ssh

[smoky sinew]

ids are integers, not strings so remove the quotes around it

[fresh ferry]

well ssh is perfect if you dont mind the visuals

[smoky sinew]

you can run graphical apps using ssh too

it just takes a bit of setup

[fresh ferry]

all ids or just the ones in the error message ?

[smoky sinew]

the alert channel id

[slate swan]

Yooo @fresh ferry

fancy seeing you here lmao

[torn sail]

oh thanks

[fresh ferry]

yoooOoooo sylestic my mans how you been

[slate swan]

gud lmao

[smoky sinew]

???

bruh

[torn sail]

did you mean discord.Client.wait_for cause im getting voice client has not attribute wait_for

[fresh ferry]

anyone only to help me locate an error in my bot ?

ill have it running for like 10 minutes and then it produces this error

im being targeted by the bot for sure

[fresh ferry]

i sent source in your dms, im not gonna risk getting smacked by the bot again xD

[vocal snow]

fyi, you can use !paste when you need to send code without being smacked

[fresh ferry]

https://paste.pythondiscord.com/ojuvasowuk

[slate swan]

Cause alert_channel is a tuple

With string as id

You need to pass id as int

While using the discord gateway and setting a desired ping interval that the HELLO message. provided it randomly turns off after a set amount of time and never stays online forever

[golden portal]

whats the code?

[slate swan]

Elaborate

[fresh ferry]

should i delete the ' ' and that should make it an int?

ouch, @slate swan use '!paste' until the bot is fixed

[visual yarrow]

Sorry. We're currently experiencing an issue with the bot that means you aren't able to post longer messages. It will be fixed momentarily.

[slate swan]

just know that i create a websocket and on .run_forever i set the ping interval to 41.25 becauses thats what discor dprovided

[golden portal]

need more info than just that, is it in a thread, is it asyncio based, how did you connect to it

[slate swan]

well im at school so i can only provide code in 5-6 hours

[golden portal]

show it once you're able to

[vale wing]

The interval is based on provided info from discord

You don't decide it

Oh wait I misread

I am experiencing heavy intelligence level drop

[slate swan]

relatable

[slate swan]

Yes

[slate swan]

make sure you're providing the correct sequence and OPCode while sending heartbeats to discord
doesn't run_forever acquire the main process tho? you wont be able to process any other information

[vale wing]

Making discord API wrapper in java affected my braincells real hard

Even tho I was doing that like a year ago

[fresh ferry]

 in <module>
    from discord_slash import SlashCommand, SlashContext
ModuleNotFoundError: No module named 'discord_slash'

im confused cause iv installed discord slash via pip install discord-py-slash-command

[vale wing]

Use normal discord.py

[naive briar]

Just use discord.py's

!d discord.app_commands.CommandTree

[unkempt canyon]

discord.app\_commands.CommandTree

class discord.app_commands.CommandTree(client, *, fallback_to_global=True)```
Represents a container that holds application command information.

[fresh ferry]

i know this is a stupid question but what is the import statement for discord-py-interactions

import os
import discord
from discord.ext import commands, tasks
import googleapiclient.discovery
from discord_slash import SlashCommand
from discord_slash.utils.manage_commands import create_options, create_choice

cause i know this is wrong

[naive briar]

Why would you use that

It's outdated

[slate swan]

hm? ping_interval handles itself but theres also an option called ping_timeout which i dont know how to setup

[fresh ferry]

yeah 100000% lol its sad

[fresh ferry]

ntents = discord.Intents.default()
intents.members = True
bot = commands.Bot(command_prefix='!', intents=intents)
client = commands.Bot(command_prefix="/status", intents=intents)

this is what i need help with, i need to change it to work for slash commands and tree.commands is way outdated, anyway you guys can help me fix this last part and the rest will work

@tree.command(name='status', description='Check the status of the bot')
async def status(ctx):
    await ctx.send(f'{client.user.name} is running and the YouTube API is working')

[naive briar]

Why are you making two bot instances

Do not do this

And app commands use interactions and not contexts

Look in the pins

[vale wing]

If you want the things to be a bit easier use disnake

[untold grove]

anyone know the code for verify command?

[vocal snow]

what is a verify command

[untold grove]

like you need verify before access more chat

[shrewd apex]

looking at your about me i doubt u need it

[naive briar]

lol

[elder smelt]

hm

[vale wing]

He's pro coder in phytonn not python

[glad cradle]

you mean when users have to accept the rules of the server?

that thing is only for guilds with the COMMUNITY feature enabled

[shrewd apex]

i think he means like one of those captcha or click button to verify and get a role to acess channel bots

[slate swan]

Yeah ig

[slate swan]

Make a role that is allowed to view all the channels , like (role name ) “community” and for the default role “everyone” make 1 channel open that is the verification one so when the user reacts on message of verification just give him the “community” role and make sure to disable the “view channel perms” for the “community” role.

[keen iris]

hi

[slate swan]

Hello

[river plank]

is there anyway to make a command run every 24 hrs?

supposing the time doesnt reset even if the bot is restarted

[naive briar]

!d discord.ext.tasks.loop

[unkempt canyon]

discord.ext.tasks.loop

@discord.ext.tasks.loop(*, seconds=..., minutes=..., hours=..., time=..., count=None, reconnect=True)```
A decorator that schedules a task in the background for you with optional reconnect logic. The decorator returns a [`Loop`](https://discordpy.readthedocs.io/en/latest/ext/tasks/index.html#discord.ext.tasks.Loop "discord.ext.tasks.Loop").

[river plank]

oo

[slate swan]

(Doesn’t reset If bot restarts)

Ig it does reset

You need to store the time u send then compare the time

[river plank]

oh

could ya show a simple example or link me to one?

[slate swan]

https://stackoverflow.com/questions/1831410/how-to-compare-times-of-the-day

Hope it helps

[naive briar]

Why don't just use the time argument

[slate swan]

if the time is passed it does not execute

[naive briar]

What does not execute

[timber wren]

I want to make a DM message for welcome. A member joins, the bot sends a sweet message to them to welcome. I tried on_member_join event but it does not seem to work. Please tell me if there is some new way or am I wrong?

[naive briar]

What does not work about it exactly

[bold python]

can anybody tell me why my bot only answers me back on private messages? i should everything set up correctly on the discord developer app. Im trying to make a moderator bot

[timber wren]

my on_member_join event does not work

@bold python Remove the homophobic slur from your code. See our #code-of-conduct

[untold grove]

oh alr

[slate swan]

anyone knows how i download this

[midnight dew]

!

[gilded harness]

Wait what is client.user in the discord bot code at the start? Is the user the one that interacts with the bot??

[timber wren]

yep

[gilded harness]

Alright that makes sense

So in order to make the discord bot I need to use the input(), if statements and other stuff in order to have a user input?? Or is there special indicated functions that the discord library has that I need to learn/use

[vocal snow]

client.user represents the bot's user account

[vocal snow]

if you want to get a user input from discord, then you'll need to use a method from the library, yes

[naive briar]

No

[gilded harness]

Alr

Bro is there a website to find all the functions inside of the discord.py library??

Like im clueless rn Idk what to do :/

[glass dock]

https://discordpy.readthedocs.io/en/stable/

[naive briar]

It's called documents

!d discord

[unkempt canyon]

discord

In order to work with the library and the Discord API in general, we must first create a Discord Bot account.

Creating a Bot account is a pretty straightforward process.

Similar names: disnake.discord, nextcord.discord

[gilded harness]

like the name is just documents??

[gilded harness]

I already have a bot setup and everything. Im tryna figure out how to make it so when I say "Hello" it says hello back

[glass dock]

this is documentation

Which contain all the functions and their descriptions

[gilded harness]

This is the website with all the functions??

[glass dock]

yeap

[gilded harness]

Alr

discord.ext.commands???

[glass dock]

Not just

[gilded harness]

Where do I go then

[vocal snow]

https://discordpy.readthedocs.io/en/latest/quickstart.html

Good place to start

[glass dock]

It depends on what you want to find.

[glass dock]

Yes, if you are a beginner and don't know where to start, this little instruction will help you

[gilded harness]

Yea I got that code setup

I put my token in it

[bold python]

intents.members = True
intents.guilds = True 
intents.messages = True

token = ""

bot = commands.Bot(command_prefix='!', intents=intents)

# Bot ready event

    print(f'Logged in as {bot.user}!')

#en:

    else:

async def ban(ctx, member: discord.Member, *, reason=None):

        try:
            await member.ban(reason=reason)
            await ctx.send(f'{member} has been banned from the server.')
        except discord.Forbidden:
            await ctx.send('I do not have permission to ban that member.')
    else:
        await ctx.send('I do not have permission to ban members.')

# Command error handler

async def on_command_error(ctx, error):
    if isinstance(error, commands.MissingPermissions):
        await ctx.send('You do not have permission to use that command.')
    elif isinstance(error, commands.MemberNotFound):
        await ctx.send('That member was not found.')
    elif isinstance(error, commands.MissingRequiredArgument):
        await ctx.send('Please provide all required arguments.')
    else:
        print(error)

# Respond to messages event
@bot.event 
async def on_message(message):
    if message.author == bot.user:
        return
    
    if message.content == "Hi!":
        response = f"hi, {message.author.mention}!"
        await message.channel.send(response)

    await bot.process_commands(message)

    print(f'Received message: {message.content}')

why is my bot not responding back to me on my server only on private message

it should be all correct on the discord Developer website.

I deleted some code that had nothing to do with the message stuff cause i had to many words and couldnt send it, But i believe the code has all thats needed to write me back. I jsut dont understand why he wont write back at me. He has all the rights and is allowed to text and all that

[vocal snow]

You need intents.message_content

[bold python]

so like under the other intents codes that i have $

[bold python]

do i have to do = True at the end or only write the intents.mes....

[bold python]

It works thanks bro .

[timid pawn]

Hello guys, i need help with working with tasks on discord bots

[naive briar]

And

[timid pawn]

i currently have a task which gets initialized from a bot command. I'm still testing the command so it looks something like this:

@bot.command()
async def ban_till(ctx, user: discord.Member,interval: int = 300,*,args):
    print("Got ran to ban user")
    await asyncio.sleep(10)
    MyTask(ctx,user.id,interval)

This is the class the tasks is encapsulated in:

class MyTask:
    def __init__(self,context,user,interval) -> None:
        self.context = context
        self.user = user
        self.interval = interval
        self.start_task.start()
        
    @tasks.loop(count=1)
    async def start_task(self):
        db = DbWriteHandler(table="banned_user",writer=insert_banned_user(self.user,self.interval,1),to_delete=delete_banned_user(self.user))
        write_db = await db.write_to_table()
        print(write_db)
        if write_db == True:
            await asyncio.sleep(int(self.interval))
            try:
                print("Got here")
                await self.context.guild.unban(self.user)
                check_delete = await db.delete()
                print("Got deleted")
                if check_delete:
                    print("successful")
             
                else:
                    raise ValueError("Database Object Could not be deleted")
            except Exception as e:
                print("exception triggered")
                await self.cancel_task()
                print("Got here after stopping task")
        else:
            raise ValueError("Could not write to DB")
        
        
    # @start_task.after_loop
    async def cancel_task(self) -> None:
        self.start_task.stop()

Should i be changing the logic of the implementation. Right now the code is hitting the Exception which i want but it doesn't stop the task after it hits the Exception. I need to be able to stop the task

[slate swan]

Loop.stop() stops the task from looping after the current iteration is complete, but this won't have any effect here since you're only running the task once anyway.
On the other hand, cancel() cancels the task without letting the current iteration finish, so it may be what you're after, unless I'm interpreting the question wrong.

[timid pawn]

The issue is not with that, i already tried to cancel the task without awaiting it as i should. So in the exception block where i have self.cancel_task() I just do self.start_task.cancel() without awaiting as i should but the code reaches there and passes through it to the print statement after it and just holds the thread without exiting the function. When i check the logger, i don't get any errors except when i use an await, then the logger prints an error to not use an await but apart from that, i'm not getting any errors to be able to debug. And when i do a KeyboardInterrupt i don't get any errors in the terminal. So i can't find where the issue is

[golden portal]

tasks.loop stop automatically when an exception occur btw no need to stop it yourself

[timid pawn]

After the exception is it, i would need to run some functions so i have to capture the exception and then cancel after i run the functions i need run. But right now, without even doing anything in the exception, the thread doesn't get cancelled, it just gets held until i do a KeyboardInterrupt

[golden portal]

pretty sure its raising an error since loop.stop isnt a coroutine and you're awaiting it, when an error occur in a task similar to asyncio.Task, it gets silenced and stop the task, it doesnt 'held' it.

!d discord.ext.tasks.Loop.error

[unkempt canyon]

discord.ext.tasks.Loop.error

@error```
A decorator that registers a coroutine to be called if the task encounters an unhandled exception.

The coroutine must take only one argument the exception raised (except `self` in a class context).

By default this logs to the library logger however it could be overridden to have a different implementation.

New in version 1.4.

Changed in version 2.0: Instead of writing to `sys.stderr`, the library’s logger is used.

[golden portal]

use this to capture that error

you may wanna use Loop.cancel instead if you wanna cancel it abruptly

[timid pawn]

yeah, i already removed the await, because i was getting an error because its a NoneType, but even without an await it still just holds the thread

[timid pawn]

i already tried cancel and then did stop, both doesn't exit the thread. Have thought about the fact maybe its the bot_command still holding the thread but when i make a print function in the bot_command after calling the class, it doesn't get there. So the thread is stuck in the task still

[slate swan]

um what are you even using to create the websocket connection, mind sharing your code?

[golden portal]

how does it "hold" the thread may i ask? what does it print, where does it stop printing

[timid pawn]

it seems i have been overcomplicating the issue, just realised that

[golden portal]

um oke

[timid pawn]

so i think i get what the issue is, After the bot_command calls the task, it seems it can execute any other code after that task so, a print statement after that task won't be run after it starts the task

!d nextcord.ui.StringSelect

[unkempt canyon]

nextcord.ui.StringSelect

class nextcord.ui.StringSelect(*, custom_id=..., placeholder=None, min_values=1, max_values=1, options=..., disabled=False, row=None)```
Represents a UI string select menu.

This is usually represented as a drop down menu.

In order to get the selected items that the user has chosen, use [`StringSelect.values`](https://nextcord.readthedocs.io/en/latest/api.html#nextcord.ui.StringSelect.values "nextcord.ui.StringSelect.values").

There is an alias for this class called `Select`.

New in version 2.0.

[vale wing]

@white citrus I believe you need to subclass that ^ instead of Select

Although not sure, callbacks implementation in this case is kinda confusing imho

[white citrus]

https://github.com/nextcord/nextcord/blob/stable/examples/views/dropdown.py

[sick birch]

They stole my example /s

[blazing flint]

can I have help moving my slash commands into their own files

[shrewd apex]

cogs

[vale wing]

Seems like outdated

[shrewd apex]

which ones were urs?

[vale wing]

!d nextcord.ui.Select

[unkempt canyon]

nextcord.ui.Select

alias of StringSelect

[vale wing]

A it's an alias my bad

[sick birch]

Drop-down and modal

[shrewd apex]

oh noice

[vale wing]

God knows what

[shrewd apex]

wish there was a inbuilt way to wait for modals to be submitted

[vale wing]

You mean like our implementation in bobux bot?

[shrewd apex]

idr that but like

await inter.response.send_modal(Modal())
# wait for modal to be submitted
# do some stuff then

[vale wing]

Yeah it is like that

[shrewd apex]

oh well then like that :p

[vale wing]

modal_inter = await modal.wait()```

Ya can look at the source it's easy to implement

[slate swan]

Callback?

[vale wing]

Probably would be better to set _fut in init tho

[vale wing]

Problem of callbacks is they split code into several parts and make it harder to navigate

[shrewd apex]

callback is called after submission

[tired pollen]

Wait for callback

[shrewd apex]

i might want to deal with my current view

[slate swan]

Ohh

[vale wing]

That's why we have GenericView class and custom Modal (formerly BadModal) in bobux bot 🤓

I think I brought those things out to my template

[sick birch]

Bobux bot

Bobux bot

[shrewd apex]

interaction._state._modal_store.remove_modal(interaction.author.id, interaction.custom_id)

whats this for?

cliff hanger

[shrewd apex]

@vale wing

[cloud dawn]

Bobbot

🫠

[slate swan]

Bobux Bot is a funny name, what does it do?

[quick gust]

It's an economy bot

[sick birch]

infinite Bobux

[slate swan]

[glad cradle]

it gives robux

[hushed galleon]

what discord.py gives you (or in your case nextcord) is a proxy over the actual field so setting its value wont do anything

@slate swan you should use set_field_at() instead and enumerate over the fields to get the corresponding index, or alternatively re-create the entire embed each time

[vale wing]

A line to fix disnake's internals behaving dumb

[shrewd apex]

i tried without that it worked fine with that it raised a key error tho

apparently didnt find the key while popping

[vale wing]

That thing could've gotten fixed in last updates

That was actual for 2.7, not sure if it is required now

Need to test some commands that use that modal

[shrewd apex]

ic

[vale wing]

@shrewd apex actually the problem was disnake would automatically mark modal interaction as responded if it wasn't responded in callback

And that line prevents it from doing that

So if you respond in callback you don't need that line

And that issue persists

[shrewd apex]

oh right i do respond

inter.send

[vale wing]

That's one of disnake's main advantages over dpy with interaction.response.send_message

[shrewd apex]

tru

i like disnakes interactions implementation

[vale wing]

You can check the link in my bio, there's info about what bot does and who developed it

[vale wing]

Yeah the events and classes separation is quite convenient

[fair shuttle]

it might be stupid but why it says undefined name 'member and ctx?

only on this line

[vale wing]

It is outside of function

Set it to 4 spaces, indents are fr barely visible

[unkempt canyon]

Indentation

Indentation is leading whitespace (spaces and tabs) at the beginning of a line of code. In the case of Python, they are used to determine the grouping of statements.

Spaces should be preferred over tabs. To be clear, this is in reference to the character itself, not the keys on a keyboard. Your editor/IDE should be configured to insert spaces when the TAB key is pressed. The amount of spaces should be a multiple of 4, except optionally in the case of continuation lines.

Example

def foo():
    bar = 'baz'  # indented one level
    if bar == 'baz':
        print('ham')  # indented two levels
    return bar  # indented one level

The first line is not indented. The next two lines are indented to be inside of the function definition. They will only run when the function is called. The fourth line is indented to be inside the if statement, and will only run if the if statement evaluates to True. The fifth and last line is like the 2nd and 3rd and will always run when the function is called. It effectively closes the if statement above as no more lines can be inside the if statement below that line.

Indentation is used after:
1. Compound statements (eg. if, while, for, try, with, def, class, and their counterparts)
2. Continuation lines

2. Tabs or Spaces?
3. Official docs on indentation

guys real quick. There is still no possible way for a Bot to join a Voice channel on his own right ?

Like not even by maybe rjeoining a person on its own

[slate swan]

of course there is you just need to tell him to which and when

[bold python]

but i mean like this. A person joins a voice channel. And the bot joins his voice channel aswell but on its own, Without anyone typing /join or whatever.

[vale wing]

That thing always existed?

[bold python]

Realy?

[slate swan]

so when someone joins voice the bot joins the voice as well?

[vale wing]

Except it was once moved from on_member_update to on_voice_state_update or smth, I don't remember exact event name

[bold python]

Bro i could swear a bot could not join on his own, Cause like a music bot cant join or play music unless u are in the channel aswell right. SO i thought there was no way

[vale wing]

!d discord.on_voice_state_update surprisingly I remember it correctly

[unkempt canyon]

discord.on\_voice\_state\_update

discord.on_voice_state_update(member, before, after)```
Called when a [`Member`](https://discordpy.readthedocs.io/en/latest/api.html#discord.Member "discord.Member") changes their [`VoiceState`](https://discordpy.readthedocs.io/en/latest/api.html#discord.VoiceState "discord.VoiceState").

The following, but not limited to, examples illustrate when this event is called...

[bold python]

and btw you guys keep on makin my life harder cause i kept askin bout youtube bot help and shi like that. But what about spotiy bot. After all Youtube was the one with beef not spotif. RIght ?

[slate swan]

spotify has similar issues

you can use soundcloud upto some extent tho

[vale wing]

Does spotify have API that allows you to stream audio? I suspect it does not

[bold python]

I dont know

[vale wing]

Soundcloud had some issues with getting API key when I last tried

You had to like send them a google form which was closed 🗿

[bold python]

yh but the whole yt shi also complicated atm. The last update they had for youtube.dl was 2021

and yt.dlp aint workin with me so i just gave it up ill try again later once i know some more stuff about coding and all.

[vale wing]

Actually what for would you need youtube bot? Discord's got youtube activity now

[bold python]

yh true. But i dont know. Just like it used to be back in the days. With some music bot playin some cs. But at the end of the day. I woudltn even use my own bot. From what i know my laptop would need to be on, using internet, For the bot to keep runnning. And that would just be a pain.

But i guess i wasnt rly after a music bot, cause there are still plenty out there, it was more the desire to be able to make one that i was chasing. Knowing that i myself was able to create a music bot is rly what i wanted to achieve.

[bold python]

but how or where would i put this code?

@bot.event
async def on_voice_state_update(member, before, after):
# my code here?

[vale wing]

Similar

[bold python]

async def on_voice_state_update(member, before, after):
    if before.channel != after.channel:
        if after.channel is not None and 'my_role_name' in [role.name for role in member.roles]:
            # Join the voice channel
            await after.channel.connect()

[vale wing]

If you help us make a site for it sure 😃

[bold python]

ahaaaa and thars not illigal or what ? XDXD

[vale wing]

What

[bold python]

my yt bot highly illigal but infinite robux

[vale wing]

Infinite bobux is legit

[bold python]

bobux?

[vale wing]

Meme crypto

[bold python]

ah i tought yall ment robux from roblux or some

nvm i go check the code see if it works

[slate swan]

class carwsd(commands.Cog):
    def __init__(self, bot):
        self.bot = bot
    @commands.command()

        a = RankCard(
            settings=Settings,

def setup(bot):
    bot.add_cog(carwsd(bot)) ```


```nextcord.ext.commands.errors.CommandInvokeError: Command raised an exception: AttributeError: 'Context' object has no attribute 'display_avatar'

[bold python]

The error message suggests that there is an AttributeError in the command being invoked and that the 'Context' object has no attribute 'display_avatar'.

It's likely that you have a command that is using the .display_avatar attribute, but that attribute doesn't exist in the Context object. Double-check your code and make sure that you are using the correct attribute for the Context object.

If you are still unsure what the issue is, you can post the code for the command that is causing the error, and I can help you debug it.

[slate swan]

Thank you so much ill check

[bold python]

class carwsd(commands.Cog):
def init(self, bot):
self.bot = bot

    await ctx.edit_original_message(file=disnake.File(image, filename="rank.png"))    

def setup(bot):
bot.add_cog(carwsd(bot))

try this

Lmk if the code i sent above still errors

[slate swan]

thanks! now sadly saying that

        if isinstance(self.avatar, str):
            if self.avatar.startswith("http"):
                self.avatar = await RankCard._image(self.avatar)
        else:
            raise TypeError(f"avatar must be a url, not {type(self.avatar)}") ```

```  File "c:\Users\PC\Desktop\Aleccy Bot\cogs\card.py", line 109, in card3
    self.avatar = await RankCard._image(self.avatar)
AttributeError: type object 'RankCard' has no attribute '_image'```

[bold python]

ok 1 sec

[bold python]

async def _image(url: str):
    async with aiohttp.ClientSession() as session:
        async with session.get(url) as response:
            return io.BytesIO(await response.content.read())

This method downloads the image from the URL and returns it as a BytesIO object.
Once you have defined the _image method, you can call it with await self._image(self.avatar) instead of await RankCard._image(self.avatar) in your code.

[slate swan]

  File "c:\Users\PC\Desktop\Aleccy Bot\cogs\card.py", line 123, in card3
    background = self.background.resize((1000, 333))

    else:
        embed = discord.Embed(title=member.name + "#" + member.discriminator)
        embed.set_image(url=member.avatar.url)
        await interaction.response.send_message(embed=embed)

I am trying to make the bot get the person's avatar, when I put which member's it'll work but when I put none it doesn't send the author's profile picture... what mistake did i made?

[slate swan]

im very sorry for asking all these qquestions

[bold python]

NoaA i send you a private dm real quick i show u smt

[slate swan]

you don't need the else block

[cinder tulip]

Oh

[slate swan]

your current logic is ```py
if member is None:
# assign author to the member variable
else:
# send embed

if member will be None, it will just assign the var and do nothing

[cinder tulip]

I tried removing it but i got this instead

[slate swan]

show updated code

[cinder tulip]

@client.tree.command(name="avatar", description="Gets an user's avatar.")
async def avatar(interaction: discord.Interaction, member:discord.Member = None):
    if member is None:
        member = interaction.author
    embed = discord.Embed(title=member.name + "#" + member.discriminator)
    embed.set_image(url=member.avatar.url)
    await interaction.response.send_message(embed=embed)

[slate swan]

it's interaction.user

you might have got an attributerror

[cinder tulip]

yep it has no attribute author

I am actually so stupid

let's see if that resloves the issue

Yeah it now works, thanks alot for correcting me man!

[slate swan]

no problem!, py embed = discord.Embed(title=member.name + "#" + member.discriminator) can be shortened to ```py
embed = discord.Embed(title=str(member))

str of a Member object gives username#discriminator

[cinder tulip]

OHH

[bold python]

why am i getting a problem report from a message that should even rly be part of the code??

it doesnt go away but i didnt have it before. I jsut appeared after i wrote @bot.event

[slate swan]

it needs a function after @bot.event decorator

so it gives error since there is no function bellow

[fair shuttle]

how i can fix that i never got this bfore

[bold python]

can you send me copyof the error message and code, like a physical one i can copy

just copy paste

[blazing flint]

can someone help me move my discord.py slash commands into their own respective files

[naive umbra]

use cogs

[blazing flint]

I am confused on how

[naive umbra]

https://discordpy.readthedocs.io/en/stable/ext/commands/cogs.html

[blazing flint]

I am using slash commadns

[naive umbra]

yeah, that's not a problem

[blazing flint]

can you help me through

[naive umbra]

you could also just use https://discordpy.readthedocs.io/en/stable/ext/commands/extensions.html, but i'd recommend using cogs

[blazing flint]

I have done similar stuff with javascript before

ok

can I ask you if I have any questions

[naive umbra]

just ask here, if im not able to help then someone else will most likely help you

[blazing flint]

I have a bunch of commands

and

I dont wanna have to load each one the way it is demonstrated in the article. It will make my code look just as bad

[tired pollen]

This is not like js( i mean cogs)

[blazing flint]

Ik

JS is simple in terms of discord bots

[tired pollen]

Loop through it

[naive umbra]

well luckily we have loops

[blazing flint]

@client.event
async def on_ready():
  print(f"Logged in as {client.user.name}")
  try:
    for filename in os.listdir('./cmds'):
      print("Checking for commands")
      if filename.endswith('.py'):
        print(f'commands.{filename[:-3]} loaded')
        await client.load_extension(f'commands.{filename[:-3]}')
  except:
    print("No commands were synced")

[tired pollen]

Yea but don't use it on on_ready event

[blazing flint]

yeah

my command does not register with this

[tired pollen]

Use setup_hook event instead

[naive umbra]

are you syncing your commands?

slash commands needs to be synced

[blazing flint]

yeah I am

[naive umbra]

where?

[blazing flint]

my bot was working before

I am trying to sync them after moving them now

that is what I want help with

[tired pollen]

Also I don't think client support cog

[blazing flint]

also, do I move this part where I define the slash command to it's respective file with it? py @client.tree.command(name="hello", description="Become friends with this bot :)")

[tired pollen]

Ig you need to use bot instead of client

[blazing flint]

I call it client

[tired pollen]

Oh right

[blazing flint]

but I use the Bot subclass

client = commands.Bot(command_prefix = "!", intents=intents)```

[slate swan]

are you trying to create slash commands in cogs?

[blazing flint]

yes

[fair shuttle]

any1 could help w that error?

[slate swan]

i'll assume you're aware how cogs work usually, right?

[blazing flint]

kinda

[tired pollen]

You should use
@app_commands.command() decorator in cogs if i remember correctly(for slash commands)

[blazing flint]

ok

[slate swan]

so the way you create slash commands is almost same, you'll just be using app_commands.command decorator instead of tree.command

class MyCog(commands.Cog):
    @app_commands.command(name="ping", description="pong!")
    async def ping(self, inter: discord.Interaction) -> None:
        ...
``` the first argument will always be `self` since it;s a method inside a class

discord.py will load the command as you load the cog automatically, like it does for prefix cmds

[blazing flint]

so does load_extension() sync it?

[tired pollen]

No

[naive umbra]

no, you need to call sync on the tree manually

preferably, in a prefix command

[tired pollen]

load_extension just load the cogs you need to sync it manually

[blazing flint]

dang I accidentally removed the sync part of my on_ready event

[slate swan]

it just loads it into the tree, you still gotta sync it manually

[blazing flint]

what is the function to sync commands again

[slate swan]

!d discord.app_commands.CommandTree.sync

[unkempt canyon]

discord.app\_commands.CommandTree.sync

await sync(*, guild=None)```
This function is a [*coroutine*](https://docs.python.org/3/library/asyncio-task.html#coroutine).

Syncs the application commands to Discord.

This also runs the translator to get the translated strings necessary for feeding back into Discord.

This must be called for the application commands to show up.

[blazing flint]

do I do like client.tree.sync

[slate swan]

yes

you need to call and await it too

[blazing flint]

perfect

lol the command I moved to it's own file still does not load

@slate swan

[slate swan]

how did you create it, show code

[blazing flint]

this is the code for the command ```py
import discord
from discord import app_commands

@app_commands.command(name="hello", description="Become friends with this bot :)")
async def hello(interaction: discord.Interaction):
interaction.response.send_message(f"Hello {interaction.user}", ephemeral=True)```

@client.event
async def on_ready():
  print(f"Logged in as {client.user.name}")
  try:
    for filename in os.listdir('./cmds'):
      print("Checking for commands")
      if filename.endswith('.py'):
        print(f'commands.{filename[:-3]} loaded')
        await client.load_extension(f'commands.{filename[:-3]}')
      await client.tree.sync()
  except:
    print("No commands were synced")```

[naive briar]

Is this in a cog or main file

And you need to await the coroutine

[blazing flint]

cog

yeah Ik

thanks for reminding me tho

[slate swan]

!d discord.app_commands.CommandTree.add_command (test)

[unkempt canyon]

discord.app\_commands.CommandTree.add\_command

add_command(command, /, *, guild=..., guilds=..., override=False)```
Adds an application command to the tree.

This only adds the command locally – in order to sync the commands and enable them in the client, [`sync()`](https://discordpy.readthedocs.io/en/latest/interactions/api.html#discord.app_commands.CommandTree.sync "discord.app_commands.CommandTree.sync") must be called.

The root parent of the command is added regardless of the type passed.

[slate swan]

yeah so just create a setup function in the extension file, and use bot.tree.add_command there

[naive umbra]

dont sync for every iteration

[blazing flint]

I dont lol

[slate swan]

that won't be a cog but you will be able to seperate your commands into diff file

[naive umbra]

    for filename in os.listdir('./cmds'):
      print("Checking for commands")
      if filename.endswith('.py'):
        print(f'commands.{filename[:-3]} loaded')
        await client.load_extension(f'commands.{filename[:-3]}')
      await client.tree.sync()

you do

[blazing flint]

the sync is outside of the l

of wait its not

[tired pollen]

https://discordpy.readthedocs.io/en/stable/ext/commands/cogs.html

[tired pollen]

This is how you use cogs

Also add function called setup at end of you code then add cogs like example

[blazing flint]

I am so confused

[naive briar]

Extensions and cogs are different

[blazing flint]

I just want to be able to put my slash commands into their own respective files

[tired pollen]

Read this first.
Extension are the files that you actually loads. when you load an extension by using load_extension
Setup function will be called

Then also read this
https://discordpy.readthedocs.io/en/stable/ext/commands/extensions.html

[tired pollen]

Instead of adding command in setup function you can add cogs( basically using cogs with extensions)

[blazing flint]

Well I have the first part done

of loading the comands with load_extension

[tired pollen]

Also if you just want to create 1 command per file then just use extension

[blazing flint]

that is exactly what I want to do

[tired pollen]

So this

[blazing flint]

but how do I register the extension

[fair shuttle]

i got this error when sm1 type a message in the server for the leveling system

[blazing flint]

I already have done what that article says

[tired pollen]

What do you mean by registering? Syncing slash command?

[blazing flint]

yeah

[tired pollen]

You need to do it manually

tree.sync()

[tired pollen]

.

[blazing flint]

I have this @client.event async def on_ready(): print(f"Logged in as {client.user.name}") try: for filename in os.listdir('./cmds'): print("Checking for commands") if filename.endswith('.py'): print(f'commands.{filename[:-3]} loaded') await client.load_extension(f'commands.{filename[:-3]}') client.tree.sync() except: print("No commands were synced")

but the command that is in it's own file does not register

?

[tired pollen]

Hmm idk about that but don't do anything in on_ready use setup_hook event instead

[blazing flint]

so replace on_ready with setup_hook

what is setup_hook exactly?

[tired pollen]

!d discord.ext.commands.Bot.setup_hook

[unkempt canyon]

discord.ext.commands.Bot.setup\_hook

await setup_hook()```
This function is a [*coroutine*](https://docs.python.org/3/library/asyncio-task.html#coroutine).

A coroutine to be called to setup the bot, by default this is blank.

To perform asynchronous setup after the bot is logged in but before it has connected to the Websocket, overwrite this coroutine.

This is only called once, in [`login()`](https://discordpy.readthedocs.io/en/latest/ext/commands/api.html#discord.ext.commands.Bot.login "discord.ext.commands.Bot.login"), and will be called before any events are dispatched, making it a better solution than doing such setup in the [`on_ready()`](https://discordpy.readthedocs.io/en/latest/api.html#discord.on_ready "discord.on_ready") event.

Warning

Since this is called *before* the websocket connection is made therefore anything that waits for the websocket will deadlock, this includes things like [`wait_for()`](https://discordpy.readthedocs.io/en/latest/ext/commands/api.html#discord.ext.commands.Bot.wait_for "discord.ext.commands.Bot.wait_for") and [`wait_until_ready()`](https://discordpy.readthedocs.io/en/latest/ext/commands/api.html#discord.ext.commands.Bot.wait_until_ready "discord.ext.commands.Bot.wait_until_ready")...

[blazing flint]

when I replace on ready with it my bot just stops

[tired pollen]

what?

can you give the code

[blazing flint]

@client.event
async def setup_hook():
  print(f"Logged in as {client.user.name}")
  try:
    for filename in os.listdir('./cmds'):
      print("Checking for commands")
      if filename.endswith('.py'):
        print(f'commands.{filename[:-3]} loaded')
        await client.load_extension(f'commands.{filename[:-3]}')
    client.tree.sync()
  except:
    print("No commands were synced")```

[tired pollen]

i have no idea

[blazing flint]

Dam

[tired pollen]

Also don't auto sync bc every time you run your bot tree get synced you only need to sync when you update an command

[blazing flint]

it works now

[blazing flint]

I just still have not been able to sync

@tired pollen it runs now I dont know why it did not that one time

[pulsar bridge]

I can't send DMs to my bot.
It gives me a captcha to complete, the gives me the usual Clyde "You cannot send a message to this user, this is usually because you do not share a server with this user..."
But I do share a server with the bot

Would it have something to do with having a VPN active?

[blazing flint]

Mm

I don’t think it has anything to do with a vpn

Does the bot dm you first?

@pulsar bridge

[pulsar bridge]

Nope

I fixed it by sending it a DM from a Non-VPN connected device, so I assume it has something to do with VPNs 🤔

[blazing flint]

Oh

That’s interesting

[blazing flint]

Why aren’t you using slash commands

Also try sending code formatted messages instead of screenshots

And include the section of code causing the error for future reference

[smoky sinew]

you shouldn't sync in setup_hook

[blazing flint]

Do I just run sync whenever I add a new command

And where do I run it @smoky sinew

[smoky sinew]

make a message command

[blazing flint]

Ok

Can I just do it in on_ready

I have my bot in three servers

[smoky sinew]

why

that's not any better

[blazing flint]

There is no disadvantage

[torn sail]

on_ready can be called multiple times during the bots running

[golden portal]

you would also get ratelimit due to the syncing, especially global sync ones, that is a disadvantage

[young dagger]

Why do some people still use requests instead of aiohttp?

What are the advantages of using requests?

[golden portal]

requests is used if your codebase isn't asyncio based

thats just it tbh, its a sync library, aiohttp is the asyncio alternative

[slate swan]

You should be using aiohttp if you're working with a Discord bot

[vocal snow]

Why not?

[smoky sinew]

because sometimes cogs aren't loaded by then

[vocal snow]

The load_extension calls are happening before the sync

[smoky sinew]

yes

and if you restart your bot often you're going to get ratelimited without changing any commands

[gusty flax]

because you are sending requests to the api for identifying the bot

not just commands.

in fact multiple requests are sent at startup as well as heartbeat

[keen cloak]

hello>

help anyone?

[gusty flax]

with what

[keen cloak]

My discord bot ( kick command

Will u help?

[gusty flax]

yes!

[sick birch]

why /s

[keen cloak]

thanks

[vale wing]

I would call them webhook payloads

Iirc you can send 1000 Identify calls once per day or something

[keen cloak]

https://discord.com/channels/267624335836053506/1083591555459321856

[vale wing]

Yes https://discord.com/developers/docs/topics/gateway#identifying

[gusty flax]

Huh?

Why wat

[sick birch]

Ignore. Was trying to make a bad joke, lol

[gusty flax]

Oh 😦

sad trombone plays

[maiden fable]

I feel ya Robin

[light violet]

how are they able to implement slash cmd in a webhook?

[naive briar]

Not possible

[vale wing]

That's common slash command wdym 🗿

[light violet]

what , the webhook is responding on a slash command

[vale wing]

Mm why are you so confident about that

[dull terrace]

[vale wing]

You can't respond to an interaction with webhook

Just look at API docs

[glad cradle]

Well at least not with the type of webhooks that we know of

[light violet]

its a webhook btw...

look at this , when i type / in the chat it shows the webhook with a slash cmd named finish. btw there is no bot named Aizen

[light violet]

its a webhook bro

[glad cradle]

I'm not sure but maybe it has something to do with followup

[glad cradle]

ok no this is false

[vale wing]

Looking at the context it is a service that allows you to obtain developer badge. I assume it creates an appication for you and allows you to use a slash command to get the badge, then deletes it. It's probably just a deleted application, not a webhook

[tired pollen]

Sorry i was sleep
You are looping through cmds directory right?
For loading cog you should pass file name like that
directoryName.filename[:-3]
What does filename[:-3] means is the file name without .py.
you are looping through cmds directory so in load_extension you should pass cmds.fileName[:-3] not commands.fileName[:-3]

[fresh fern]

hello i need help

im shifting from nextcord to discord and im making a slash command for banning members

and interaction.response dont have send_message

[vale wing]

@light violet actually I just read the docs, it seems you can register application commands without creating bot account, but that's nothing related to webhooks

Do you need the way of doing that or you're just interested

[naive briar]

What are you talking about

[fresh fern]

its fixed no worries

[naive briar]

!d discord.InteractionResponse.send_message

[unkempt canyon]

discord.InteractionResponse.send\_message

await send_message(content=None, *, embed=..., embeds=..., file=..., files=..., view=..., tts=False, ephemeral=False, allowed_mentions=..., suppress_embeds=False, silent=False, delete_after=None)```

Formatting code on discord

Here's how to format Python code on Discord:

```py
print('Hello world!')
```

These are backticks, not quotes. Check this out if you can't find the backtick key.

For long code samples, you can use our pastebin.

[rocky geyser]

!codehelp

!d discord hyperlinks in embed

Bruh

[slate swan]

[shrewd fjord]

!d time.sleep

[unkempt canyon]

time.sleep

time.sleep(secs)```
Suspend execution of the calling thread for the given number of seconds. The argument may be a floating point number to indicate a more precise sleep time.

If the sleep is interrupted by a signal and no exception is raised by the signal handler, the sleep is restarted with a recomputed timeout.

The suspension time may be longer than requested by an arbitrary amount, because of the scheduling of other activity in the system.

[shrewd fjord]

Working lol

[shadow vigil]

I accidentally posted my bot token in my python module. but the discord system has detected and reset it. never knew that and I was gonna find out the hard way properly 💀

idk how that happend it was in tests folder

[slate swan]

Nice

how to do like if there is discord.ext.commands.errors.MemberNotFound: then dont throw error instead send message in a channel

[fresh fern]

explain...

[slate swan]

discord.ext.commands.errors.MemberNotFound: Member "69420" not found.

it throws error i dont want that

[shadow vigil]

on command error event could do that

[fresh fern]

yea

how to purge messages in a cog

[cloud dawn]

!d discord.discord.ext.commands.on_command_error

[unkempt canyon]

discord.discord.ext.commands.on\_command\_error

discord.ext.commands.on_command_error(ctx, error)```
An error handler that is called when an error is raised inside a command either through user input error, check failure, or an error in your own code.

A default one is provided ([`Bot.on_command_error()`](https://discordpy.readthedocs.io/en/latest/ext/commands/api.html#discord.ext.commands.Bot.on_command_error "discord.ext.commands.Bot.on_command_error")).

async def on_command_error(ctx, error):
  if isinstance(error, commands.MissingRequiredArguments):
    # Replace MissingRequiredArguments with your error
    ctx.send("Please pass all required arguments")

here an example. you would need to import the error

[cloud dawn]

Here is an example ```py

don't you feel it's abit complex hm?

[fresh fern]

no one?

[fresh fern]

yaa

[shadow vigil]

hold on

[fresh fern]

ok ok

[tired pollen]

Get channel and then use purge method?

[fresh fern]

    @app_commands.describe(count="Number of messages to delete")
    async def clear(self, interaction: discord.Interaction, count: int):

this not work

[slate swan]

I have this old code

async def setup(ctx: commands.Context):
    dm_channel = await ctx.author.create_dm()
    welcome_embed = discord.Embed(title='Welcome to the setup',
                                  description='Thank you for purchasing.\n\nLet\'s run you through the steps to setup Automatic Boosts through SellApp or Sellix!\n\nFirst, please choose which one you\'ll be using.',

the way its setting up the buttons right now isn't correct

I saw that you need classes and stuff for it but I don't really know if it's possible to implement it in this code

[shadow vigil]

no errors?

[fresh fern]

na

it says the application did not respond

[slate swan]

what about this???

[fresh fern]

NOOOOOO

[cloud dawn]

We gave two examples.

[shadow vigil]

that's not how it works. try the examples above

[fresh fern]

        await ctx.send("User not found")

@slate swan

[cloud dawn]

How old is your bot 🗿
Some of this code has been deprecated for years.

[fresh fern]

help me

[shadow vigil]

I searched about the problem no results were found. i would need to try it manually. can you paste your bot code if you dont mind

[cloud dawn]

This is possible but for an error like that I recommend a global one.

[fresh fern]

yea i know

[fresh fern]

i wanted to be fast right now so his problem gets solved

[cloud dawn]

Any errors?

[fresh fern]

naah

    @app_commands.checks.has_permissions(manage_messages=True)
    @app_commands.checks.bot_has_permissions(manage_messages=True)
    @app_commands.describe(count="Number of messages to delete")
    async def clear(self, interaction: discord.Interaction, count: int):
        await interaction.channel.purge(count)```

[cloud dawn]

I know but then he/she is going to run into problems later.

[tired pollen]

Do you have error handler eating you errors?

[fresh fern]

me?

[tired pollen]

Yes

[shadow vigil]

yes

[slate swan]

old

but how would I implement the buttons?

[fresh fern]

in a different cog

        if isinstance(error, app_commands.MissingPermissions):
            confEmbed = discord.Embed(title="ERROR!", color=discord.Color.red())
            confEmbed.add_field(name=f"{error}",
                                value=f"Ohhhh! I don't this you have permissions to do that.",
                                inline=False)
            await interaction.response.send_message(embed=confEmbed, ephemeral=True)
        if isinstance(error, app_commands.BotMissingPermissions):
            confEmbed = discord.Embed(title="ERROR!", color=discord.Color.red())
            confEmbed.add_field(name=f"{error}",
                                value=f"Maybe the owners didn't gave me the permissions. :cry:",
                                inline=False)
            await interaction.response.send_message(embed=confEmbed, ephemeral=True)```

[slate swan]

rows have been deprecated for a long time

any new way?

it worked but it throws error in terminal

[fresh fern]

what is it

[shadow vigil]

can you send it?

[cloud dawn]

Here's an exmaple on how to make it with discord.py https://github.com/Rapptz/discord.py/blob/master/examples/views/confirm.py

[fresh fern]

@shadow vigil my error handler for msg purge'

[tired pollen]

Oh actually limit=count

[cloud dawn]

You basically have this View called Confirm and that gets passed inside a send() function.

[fresh fern]

ohhhhh

[slate swan]

discord.ext.commands.errors.MemberNotFound: Member "594541" not found.

[shadow vigil]

oh bruh how did not see that

[tired pollen]

Lol idk

[cloud dawn]

But that shouldn't give any issues and still delete 100 messages.

[fresh fern]

i thought it only took 1 arg so i just did it without limit

[shadow vigil]

and +1 so he delete your msg + amount

[fresh fern]

hey it worked but........

[shadow vigil]

hm

[fresh fern]

it said this "The application did not respond"

[tired pollen]

When you run that you will get error says purge only take 1 positional arg( which is self)

[cloud dawn]

Now that I think about it you can overengineer the crap out of the purge it can do so much.

[cloud dawn]

Hmm true, prob his error handler being weird.

[tired pollen]

Yea

[shadow vigil]

only that?

[fresh fern]

yaa

[tired pollen]

Put an else after your if statement and raise any other error@fresh fern so your error handler don't eat errors

[fresh fern]

o ok

else:

what in else

[shadow vigil]

raise error

[tired pollen]

raise error

[fresh fern]

ok ok

[tired pollen]

Or whatever you called error

[fresh fern]

what does that mean

i also want to learn not just copy paste

[tired pollen]

You passed error as arg right?

[shadow vigil]

it gonna raise the error. example

[fresh fern]

yea yea

[tired pollen]

It can be anything

[fresh fern]

still it said that'

[shadow vigil]

!e

raise TypeError("just an example")

[unkempt canyon]

@shadow vigil :x: Your 3.11 eval job has completed with return code 1.

004 | TypeError: just an example

[fresh fern]

the bot said "The application did not respond"

but purged the msges

[naive briar]

You didn't respond then

[fresh fern]

what should i respond in purge

[tired pollen]

response

[cloud dawn]

Cleared X amount of message or smth.

[fresh fern]

ok i thought that purge should be secret

[cloud dawn]

Ephemeral.

[tired pollen]

Actually you need to response to an interaction or will give you application does not response or something like that

[fresh fern]

oh yea

[fresh fern]

ohh

[tired pollen]

That's will not raise error but on discord it says that

[cloud dawn]

I do recommend making it defer since sometimes it can take a bit longer than 3 seconds.

[tired pollen]

Response to an interaction by defering it or
!d discord.InteractionResponse.send_message

[cloud dawn]

!d discord.InteractionResponse.defer

[unkempt canyon]

discord.InteractionResponse.defer

await defer(*, ephemeral=False, thinking=False)```
This function is a [*coroutine*](https://docs.python.org/3/library/asyncio-task.html#coroutine).

Defers the interaction response.

This is typically used when the interaction is acknowledged and a secondary action will be done later.

This is only supported with the following interaction types...

[fresh fern]

whats defer

[tired pollen]

Yea that

[tired pollen]

This is defer

[slate swan]

I can't click these buttons it just says interaction failed

my code:

class Ask(discord.ui.View):
    def __init__(self):
        super().__init__()
        self.value = None

[tired pollen]

Actually that message says
Bot is thinking...

[cloud dawn]

Defer is so you respond within the 3 second window but you can take actions later like edit a message for instance. You can use discord.Interaction.followup trough a webhook to also send new messages.

[fresh fern]

ohhhhh

[cloud dawn]

Not by default but yeah can make that work.

[tired pollen]

Yea right or you can edit it later with edit_original_response method

[fresh fern]

my laptop was 100% 30min ago now 27%??

whats up with this thing man

[cloud dawn]

Not really since defer doesn't send a message so there is nothing to edit.

[tired pollen]

ik that don't send message but you will have access to original res

[cloud dawn]

Yep.

[shadow vigil]

i can relate

[slate swan]

could anyone help me?

hey my code is working but an error is thrown in terminal
shall i use try - expect? will that work?

[slate swan]

here

[cloud dawn]

Is this indention correct?

[slate swan]

yes

[cloud dawn]

Have you setup the global handler or are you having trouble with it?

[slate swan]

i dont have any global handler

[tired pollen]

Give code

[slate swan]

@client.command()
async def check(ctx, user: discord.Member):
    query = {"userid": user.id}
    result = enrolled.find_one(query)
    if result:
        await ctx.send(f"{user.name} is in the database")


@check.error
async def check_error(ctx, error):
    if isinstance(error, commands.MemberNotFound):
        await ctx.send("User not found")
    raise error
        

[tired pollen]

Bro remove raise error

[cloud dawn]

You also asked this a day ago or so. We gave you exactly the same response now, I recommend doing some research on the examples we send and docs.

[tired pollen]

It always raise error no matter what happened if you want to get errors except member not found put an else statement and then raise error on else

That's actually means if error is an instance of memberNotFound class return true otherwise return false

[cloud dawn]

Also idk how much discord.py likes it if you overwrite a function with this one.

[tired pollen]

So if error is instance of MemberNotFound error then it will handle error if it's not then raise the error .
Well ig that's not hard?

[fresh fern]

help again 😅

anyone??

[naive briar]

Just ask your questions

[slate swan]

i didnt understand that
you mean this?

@client.command()
async def check(ctx, user: discord.Member):
    query = {"userid": user.id}
    result = enrolled.find_one(query)
    if result:
        await ctx.send(f"{user.name} is in the database")


@check.error
async def check_error(ctx, error):
    if isinstance(error, commands.MemberNotFound):
        await ctx.send("User not found")
    else:
        raise error

[tired pollen]

Yes exactly

If error is not member not found then it will raise the error

[shrewd fjord]

Just do,
return await ctx.send(..)
so you dont need else statement

[slate swan]

didn't work my bot send the message in the channel but errors is still getting thrown in terminal

[tired pollen]

Its actually the same not much difference

[tired pollen]

Interesting

The error is member not found?

[shrewd fjord]

if isinstance (.....):
return await ctx.send("User not found")
raise error

Can you try this?

[tired pollen]

Well , same result

[shrewd fjord]

It shouldn't

[tired pollen]

Its not giving error to me

i try both method

[shrewd fjord]

Maybe he has global error handler

[tired pollen]

Yea

[slate swan]

wait lemme share my full code

i have this also

@client.event
async def on_command_error(ctx, error):
    if isinstance(error, commands.CommandNotFound):
        return
    raise error

@client.event
async def on_command_error(ctx, error):
    if isinstance(error, commands.DisabledCommand):
        return await ctx.send("This command is disabled.")
    raise error```

[tired pollen]

Bro wth

That's why you are getting error

also do you know what elif is?

[naive briar]

Or just basic Python in general

[shrewd fjord]

2 command error event? 💀

[tired pollen]

Well , that will work but ig elif is better way?

[shrewd fjord]

iirc you can have only one same event with .event and can have multiple same event with .listen()

[shrewd fjord]

It won't work, the first event will never trigger

[tired pollen]

Oh yea actually i forget

So if you want to have 2 command error event you should register one of them by event decorator then with listen decorator you can listen to it right?

Actually not 2 command event

[naive briar]

Linda

Wait no, dumb autocorrect

Kinda

[shrewd apex]

[slate swan]

[gusty flax]

What’s ur questi n

[tired pollen]

Nothing solved i was thinking how to listen to 2 command error event

[slate swan]

there is event that is called on any command error

!d discord.ext.commands.Bot.on_command_error

[unkempt canyon]

discord.ext.commands.Bot.on\_command\_error

await on_command_error(context, exception, /)```
This function is a [*coroutine*](https://docs.python.org/3/library/asyncio-task.html#coroutine).

The default command error handler provided by the bot.

By default this logs to the library logger, however it could be overridden to have a different implementation.

This only fires if you do not specify any listeners for command error.

Changed in version 2.0: `context` and `exception` parameters are now positional-only. Instead of writing to `sys.stderr` this now uses the library logger.

[slate swan]

[slate swan]

try to change print(entry) to print(entry.encode("utf-8"))

[naive briar]

I don't think this is where the error came from

[slate swan]

error message says its at print

Oh yeah, I'm probably going blind

hm right cause this is dict

[naive briar]

I never think printing should be where errors will ever come from

[slate swan]

right

can you print data ? or same error

[young dagger]

I tried print(str(entry).encode('utf-8'))

And I think it's okay forn ow

[slate swan]

okay then

[young dagger]

I added a print statement to see why the code breaks after a while

So it runs fine for 50 users, and then it breaks

Is it possible that the error is caused by hitting the rate limit for the Riot API?

[echo mural]

Damn lol

[gilded harness]

My token would be at the very bottom but I didnt include it

[echo mural]

kk

[gilded harness]

I documented it thats why its so long

[austere prairie]

client = discord.Client(intents=intents)
``` you're still using `Client`

[echo mural]

it should be bot

[gilded harness]

that came with the starter code

[austere prairie]

change discord.Client to commands.Bot

[echo mural]

bot = True

[austere prairie]

the starter code is bad :P

[gilded harness]

Cannot find reference 'bot' in 'imported module discord'

[echo mural]

BRO

[austere prairie]

what did you change that line to?

[gilded harness]

client = discord.bot(intents=intents)```

[austere prairie]

commands.Bot (note capital B as well)

[gilded harness]

Oh

Alr its good now

[echo mural]

You must also add command_prefix = "$"

[gilded harness]

what about "?"

[echo mural]

Yeah you can add that too

If you want more than one prefix, you can make a list

like
command_prefix = ["$", "?"]

[gilded harness]

Oh alr

[echo mural]

Yep

[austere prairie]

you can replace these ```py
@client.event
async def on_message(message):
if message.content.startswith("/hello"):
await message.channel.send("Hello")

with bot commands: ```py
@client.command()
async def hello(ctx):
    await ctx.send("Hello")

[echo mural]

Yeah this way is better

[gilded harness]

@client.event
async def on_message(message):
  if message.content.startswith("?hello"):
    await message.channel.send("Hello")

    print(message.content)


@client.command()
async def hello(ctx):
    await ctx.send("Hello")

    print(ctx.content)``` Like this?

[austere prairie]

yes, you can get rid of the first one now

[gilded harness]

Alr

[echo mural]

Bruh, is it necessary to write that print statement?

I think it shouldn't be there

[gilded harness]

Idk it was there before so I just referenced it

[austere prairie]

does ctx even have a content attribute?

[gilded harness]

Idk :/

[echo mural]

that's wrong

[austere prairie]

it should probably be ctx.message.content

[echo mural]

bro

[gilded harness]

Dude im new to discord bots

[gusty flax]

No

[gilded harness]

this is my 2nd day

[echo mural]

this is right

[gusty flax]

[echo mural]

np

[echo mural]

But we don't need that too. 'cause we've already added ctx.send("Hello")

[gusty flax]

Wait whats the question?

[austere prairie]

we're fixing the starter code they got from somewhere (which uses discord.Client)

[gusty flax]

Where is the code?

[austere prairie]

^

[tired pollen]

Ah? what is exactly help bot is listening on it?

[gilded harness]

Oh yeahhhh

[echo mural]

mhm

[austere prairie]

the listen doesn't do anything, 'help' isn't a valid event

[gusty flax]

No reason to import discord.ext btw. And for on_message, use the commands.Bot so you can do prefix commands.

[gilded harness]

But they told me to add it

[echo mural]

who told u?

[gilded harness]

code golfing

[gusty flax]

No. Use ```py
from discord.ext import commands

bot = commands.Bot(prefix="!")```

[gilded harness]

he told me to do import discord.ext and then from discord.ext import commands

[tired pollen]

Listen, listen on specific event that registered from before ig but i don't think help is a event?

[austere prairie]

we already did that

[gusty flax]

no reason to do the import discord.ext if u are going to import from it

Its redundant and pointless

[austere prairie]

that's for binding more than one function to a single event

[echo mural]

I think it should be command_prefix. Right?

[tired pollen]

Yea its command_prerix

[gusty flax]

yes sry thats it

[austere prairie]

if you want normal bot commands, @bot.command() syntax is the correct way

[echo mural]

right

[gilded harness]

Ok let me send the current code

[gusty flax]

U rlly shouldnt be using the base client, since commands.Bot inherits it.

[gilded harness]

# This example requires the 'message_content' intent.
#Imports discord library
import discord.ext
import random
from discord.ext import commands

intents = discord.Intents.default()
intents.message_content = True
bot = commands.Bot(prefix="?")

#command_prefix = ["$", "?"] for multiple prefixes

#client is the variable of the client function which
# helps the bot make requests to discord for it to function properly
#This also helps us log in with token (links us with the discord bot/token)
client = commands.Bot(intents=intents)

#The @ is a decerator (I dont know how it works 100%)

#the async functions help the bot perform multiplt tasks without needing to wait for one to finish
@client.event
async def on_ready():
    print(f'We have logged in as {client.user}')

#the @ symbol indicates a decorator and
#I dont know 100% what they do but they're decerators

@client.command()
async def hello(ctx):
    await ctx.send("Hello")

[gusty flax]

But if u are adament about not using predix commands u could technically

[tired pollen]

command_prefix

[gusty flax]

Why do u have it twice

[gilded harness]

Where

[echo mural]

lmao

[gusty flax]

and again, u dont need the import discord.ext

[gusty flax]

u have two commands.Bot instantiations

[echo mural]

You should remove client variable bruh

[tired pollen]

Also why you define the bot twice

[gilded harness]

Why 😕

[gilded harness]

Where

[gusty flax]

Anything u can get from discord.ext, u alreayd have when u import from it

bot = commands.Bot(prefix="?")
client = commands.Bot(intents=intents)

[gilded harness]

Idek what intents is

[austere prairie]

you don't need the client = commands.Bot() definition anymore, delete it and rename all the decorators to use bot instead of client

[echo mural]

Just keep bot = commands.Bot(command_prefix = "?", bot = True, intents = intent)

[tired pollen]

You have
client which is instance of commands.bot
And you have bot which is instance of commands.bot
Here's no need 2 instances

[echo mural]

They're like permissions of the bot

[tired pollen]

Remove one of them

[gusty flax]

just do py client = commands.Bot(command_prefix="!", intents=intents)

[gusty flax]

The data that the bot receives via events from gateway.

[gilded harness]

Alr I changed it to bot

[slate swan]

“bot”

[austere prairie]

bot > client

Name doesn't matter

[gusty flax]

the name doesnt matter 😭 i always use client

personal preference ig

[echo mural]

Bruh, I think you should understand it. You shouldn't do whatever we're telling you without even understanding

[slate swan]

More understandable

[echo mural]

It's literally simple

[tired pollen]

It's instance actually doesn't matter it can be anything

Bot ,client anything else

[echo mural]

It could be camcam

[gusty flax]

^

[echo mural]

LOL

[slate swan]

Yes but

[gusty flax]

I agree. Understand what its doing.

[gilded harness]

Well I got 2 other people telling me something is wrong and im just confused 🤷‍♂️

[tired pollen]

Bro this is not discord.Client() instance

[echo mural]

LOL

[tired pollen]

This is commands.bot() instance with name of client

[echo mural]

you talking bout bot.commands()?

[tired pollen]

discord.ext.commands.Bot

ohhhhh

!traceback

Traceback

Please provide the full traceback for your exception in order to help us identify your issue.
While the last line of the error message tells us what kind of error you got,
the full traceback will tell us which line, and other critical information to solve your problem.
Please avoid screenshots so we can copy and paste parts of the message.

A full traceback could look like:

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "my_file.py", line 5, in <module>
    add_three("6")
  File "my_file.py", line 2, in add_three
    a = num + 3
        ~~~~^~~
TypeError: can only concatenate str (not "int") to str

If the traceback is long, use our pastebin.

bot = commands.Bot(prefix="?")
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
TypeError: BotBase.init() missing 1 required positional argument: 'command_prefix'

keeps sayin that

[gusty flax]

I told u already.

[gilded harness]

Tell me again

[echo mural]

commands.Bot(command_prefix = "?")

[tired pollen]

Bro change prefix= to command_prefix=

[gusty flax]

bot = commands.Bot(command_prefix="!", intents=intents)```

[naive briar]

Why don't they ever read the error

[slate swan]

https://paste.pythondiscord.com/ewasecures

[tired pollen]

Lol

[gilded harness]

intents = discord.Intents.default()
intents.message_content = True
Bot.commands(command_prefix = "?")```

[austere prairie]

^ learning to read traceback is a very useful skill

[gilded harness]

Good?

[tired pollen]

Also intents

[echo mural]

intents = intents

[gilded harness]

FUCK

[echo mural]

LOL

[gusty flax]

pls look at my example 😭

[gilded harness]

It's underlining the fuckin bot thing

[tired pollen]

Bro dam

[austere prairie]

^ this is what it should look like

[echo mural]

BROOO

[gilded harness]

WHY IS IT UNDERLINING

[gusty flax]

What is Bot.commands 😭

[gilded harness]

FUCKIN HELL BRO THIS SHIT IS SO FRUSTURATING

[gusty flax]

[gilded harness]

THEY TOLD ME TO PUT BOT.COMMANDS

[echo mural]

😂

[gusty flax]

[gusty flax]

just look at my example!!! 😭

[gilded harness]

YOU FUCKING TOLD ME TO

[gusty flax]

NO. IT SAYS COMMANDS.BOT 😭

[echo mural]

commands.Bot(command_prefix = "?", intents=intents)

[gusty flax]

[tired pollen]

Bro learn python

[echo mural]

🤣

[gilded harness]

I did

[austere prairie]

@bot.command() is for adding commands, you create the bot with commands.Bot

[gusty flax]

My code is literally the right code 😭

[echo mural]
