[thin raft]

the classmethod

[faint dragon]

this good?

[thin raft]

this is cursed

[faint dragon]

its cursed as all hell but its like 3x faster than discord.py LOL

it basically entirely replaces ext.commands, i studied their repo for days and just cut out all the caching literally every step of the way and cut some corners for performance

[thin raft]

dude im getting a circular import out of nowhere

[thin raft]

but then it isn't faster

it's just another way of doing it

when you try to query a lot of users, dpy will be faster

[faint dragon]

before i made my own alternative to ext.commands it took around 2/3~ seconds to load up the bot usually (mostly from how it loads cogs and commands) and now it takes sub 1s unless the network is being wacky

the mem usage also went down a solid 10mb/15mb or so because i dont cache literally everything every step of the way (they do alot of caching to prevent wacky stuff thats usually caused by your own weird code)

i have it print everything out 1 by 1 as it loads and still sub second startups, the whole list just appears instantly

not a whole lot there icl, i cut out alot of stuff to focus on automod/antinuke related things

[faint dragon]

doesnt seem to be the case, the bot actually performs great with lots of users becase of my approach on optimization (plus alot of bloat was cut out)

for example: you'd have some if/elif statements or whatnot for the 3 cases, which is the normal thing to do

or it can do a dictionary lookup and instantaneously find the result (and therefore send the message quicker) based on the data from the API

[faint dragon]

if the api returns {"op": 1} then it just jumps to awaiting the corresponding value in the dict before it can even return the APIs response to the command itself

which is a ton faster than looking through the data with ifs/elses

less operations the machine has to do to complete the task, the better

which is the whole idea behind why i ditched discord.py's ext.commands

[thin raft]

it can be fast

but the code looks very weird

[faint dragon]

yea for sure, usually looks weird for good reason lol

my main thing is scaling/optimizing stuff so it might look a little whack but its up to spec performance wise

few lazy parts here and there but we ball

[thin raft]

my pygame isnt pygaming

[faint dragon]

pygame made me quit any hopes of game dev i had

[thin raft]

lol

I mostly use for simulating stuff

[faint dragon]

not that i had a whole lot to begin with but still that stuffs something else

[thin raft]

to make current projects visually attractive

[edgy plinth]

is there anyway to limit how many characters they can enter into a parameter of a command?

@client.tree.command(name="victor",description = "Used by mediators to enter who won the battle")
@app_commands.describe(victorious="Enter the side that was victorious")
@app_commands.choices(victorious=[discord.app_commands.Choice(name="Attacker",value=1),discord.app_commands.Choice(name="Defenders",value=2)])
async def victor(interaction:discord.Interaction, victorious: discord.app_commands.Choice[int],score: str):
  adminhandler.logInteraction(victor,interaction.user)
  latency = client.latency
  await interaction.response.send_message(f"Test Sucessful Ping:{latency}ms")

for example i want to limit score to 3 characters

[blazing condor]

I don't think you can directly limit the character limit, but i would assume you could check the len of it if it's above the targeted amount.

[edgy plinth]

yea, however it would be nice if it was built in

[blazing condor]

but i could be wrong. let me see.

[edgy plinth]

alr

[edgy plinth]

may have found it

nvm

[blazing condor]

i was just thinking something like this

if len(message) > # 100 characters

but unsure if that would be the best way or not.

[edgy plinth]

yea, thats what im ending up doing, dont think there is any other way

[shrewd apex]

u can https://fallendeity.github.io/discord.py-masterclass/slash-commands/#__tabbed_5_3

[blazing condor]

didn't know that one tbh 🙂

[edgy plinth]

thanks!

[glad cradle]

how did you create this embed thing for your website

[shrewd apex]

that discord creates from metadata

[solemn cradle]

you need to add embed data to your website

[shrewd apex]

yeah those are in the meta tags stored in head of the website

[glad cradle]

ty you both

(not that i plan to create a website in the near future)

[rugged shadow]

waiting for snipy.github.io

[robust fulcrum]

guys how can i get all slash command groups in disnake?

[raven steeple]

@app.route("/callback", methods=['GET', 'POST'])
def callback():
print(request.form.get("AnsweredBy"))
channel_id = request.args["chid"]
uri = request.form['RecordingUrl']
print(uri)
time.sleep(3)
r = requests.get(url=uri+".wav")
files = {
"document": ("voice.mp3", r.content)
}
data = {
"chat_id": channel_id,
"caption": "Call log.."
}
requests.post("https://discordwebhookhere", data=data, files=files)
return 200

[fading jewel]

anyone want to code a discord bot?

[slate swan]

!d disnake.ext.commands.Bot.walk_commands

[unkempt canyon]

disnake.ext.commands.Bot.walk\_commands

for ... in walk_commands()```
An iterator that recursively walks through all commands and subcommands.

Changed in version 1.4: Duplicates due to aliases are no longer returned

[slate swan]

then you would have to check if its of type Group

Wouldn't that be for text commands, as the description suggests?

[slate swan]

ah yeah then i guess get_slash_command is the correct method to use

[raven steeple]

Help fix

[slate swan]

Remember to:
Ask your Python question, not if you can ask or if there's an expert who can help.
Show a code sample as text (rather than a screenshot) and the error message, if you've got one.
Explain what you expect to happen and what actually happens.

[slate swan]

Explain what you expect to happen and what actually happens.

[robust fulcrum]

Do it returns slash commands or text commands?

[polar slate]

I'm becoming crazy guys

I can't make add_reaction work ...

I always have AttributeError: 'NoneType' object has no attribute 'add_reaction'

[acoustic kernel]

How do I import a cog file?

from Cogs_Folder.Donate_Cog import Donate_Cog
bot.add_cog(Donate_Cog)

is this not how you do it?

[final iron]

You need to show some code

[final iron]

Does it work?

[acoustic kernel]

it doesnt add any new slash commands.

[final iron]

add_cog is a coro

There’s also a bunch of other reasons why slash commands wouldn’t be appearing

[polar slate]

I found a solution but it's still bugged I'll open a ticket

@app_commands.describe(player="Who do you want to override", stat="What do you want to override", override_value="What do you want to set the override to")

Right now my slash commands like OVERRIDES arent getting synced, how can I get them to sync whil using the Client Class without making all my commands seperate cogs yet?

[final iron]

What is overrides

Is it a parent slash command

[acoustic kernel]

yeah

I have a bunch of other commands below I also want to load

[final iron]

And if you print the commands that are being synced they’re not in there?

[acoustic kernel]

No

[unreal pilot]

        self._guild = await self.bot.fetch_guild(DISCORD.GUILD)
        print(self._guild.categories)
        self._main_category = discord.utils.get(self._guild.categories, id=DISCORD.MERCARI_CATEGORY)
        print(self._main_category, 'THE CAT')

any idea why it doesnt return any categories yet self._guild is a valid Guild object?

printing self._guild.categories returns an empty list

spectating with the bot's role reveals this, so it can see all categories

[final iron]

Are the parent commands be synced?

Oh, with slash commands they’re probably not

You’ll need to show the cogs code, and also is the cog being loaded?

[acoustic kernel]

Cogs are being loaded. The cogs are in a seperate files, I havent created a class for the rest of the code that is still in my actual bot code. Its those commands that arent syncing

[final iron]

Can you show your entire file where your Client instance is

There’s a lot of missing context

[acoustic kernel]

I mean the entire file is massive, hence why I am creating cogs to split it up

class Client(commands.Bot):

        super().__init__(command_prefix=commands.when_mentioned_or('!'), intents=discord.Intents().all())

            print(role_name)
            if role_name.name != "@everyone" and role_name.name != "UN New":

Im trying to sync the delete_roles command

and all the others commands

[final iron]

What is bot?

[acoustic kernel]

bot = commands.Bot(command_prefix="!", intents= discord.Intents.all())

[final iron]

Are you not using your subclass?

[acoustic kernel]

no... what is subclass?

[final iron]

Basic OOP

https://realpython.com/inheritance-composition-python/

[acoustic kernel]

Oh great, whats OOP!?!?!

[final iron]

Object Oriented Programming, one of the most basic discord.py prerequisites

https://realpython.com/python3-object-oriented-programming/

Do you notice how in your on_ready you’re printing a bunch of text, yet that doesn’t show up when you run your bot?

[acoustic kernel]

The text shows up when I run the bot

[final iron]

And this is the exact issue with these small snippets of code

It’s leaves out crucial information

[acoustic kernel]

The bot = commands.Bot(command_prefix="!", intents= discord.Intents.all())
is before the Client Class

[final iron]

Just share the entire file. It’s getting a bit tiring

!paste

dwag

bot = commands.Bot(command_prefix="!", intents= discord.Intents.all())
client = discord.Client(intents=discord.Intents.all())
guild = discord.Client.get_guild(client,int(SERVER_ID))

bot = Client()
bot.run(TOKEN)

You have 3 client/bot instances

You only need 1

You also have some error suppression going on as that 3rd line would error

[acoustic kernel]

intresting, alright how do I fix this? Just get rid of client and guild?

[final iron]

get rid of the first three lines

Move your Client instance to where your commands.Bot instance was defined

[acoustic kernel]

ah snap

Ok its still works but the rest of the commands still dont sync, 3 commands are syncing and its the 3 that are in the seperate files.

@acoustic kernel Hello

can u help me for the bot?

[acoustic kernel]

probably not but I can try

Okey

look

We should write a medieval war themed play.

[acoustic kernel]

why you say that?

[slate bolt]

What

this is Example

what does this bot do exactly?

[slate bolt]

There will be at least 1 player in each continent and there are 3 continents in total. The aim is to destroy the economy and become stronger.

[slate bolt]

Game bot

[acoustic kernel]

ok why, why me?

[slate bolt]

İ dont founded another user

[acoustic kernel]

🤦🏻‍♂️
Alright have you ever written a bot before?

Yes it took me a few tries

Token grabber, bot for servers and some but I have never made a game bot

Is it possible to send modal in dms ?

Because i'm trying and nothing is working

yeah it just needs to be in response to an interaction

ie slash command or button or some other components in dm

[slate swan]

it is a response to an interaction

yeah its a button

[shrewd apex]

then ur doing something wrong

[slate swan]

let me show u

        await interaction.response.send_modal(feedback_modal)
``` the part before this is working

thats the part were it doesnt work

it sends the m message to the right channel

but for some reason it doesnt send the modal

[shrewd apex]

u sure its a valid modal

[slate swan]

# REVIEW MODAL

        required=True,
        placeholder="You have unlimited time, unless you close the modal :)"
    )

is it valid? (im not sending the callback part)

[shrewd apex]

override the on_error in the view to handle any unnoticed errors

[shrewd apex]

the init? modals have timeout too iirc

[slate swan]

i dont think thats the problem

np

[fickle aurora]

how do I implement background tasks with cogs in my bot? discord.py

[fickle aurora]

Asher??!!? U still alive??

holy moly hi bro

[fickle aurora]

like if it was in one file I did @tasks.loop(minutes=1) and start that task in on_ready, how do I implement that if I have a bot instance in one file and cogs?

[timber lotus]

question, could a bot look at the member list and return how many joined on a specific day? like is that possible?

[fickle aurora]

well you could either compare the amount of members at the start of the day and the end of the day, but that difference is how many members joined - how many left, if you wanted to only see the amount of ones that joined, you would need an on_member_join listener and just add them up, and at the end of the day log that number somewhere and reset it

[timber lotus]

thank you very much!!

i dont need to save this data to a database right? like thats all in discord already

[edgy plinth]

Is there anyway to add descriptions to each option in a choices?

@client.tree.command(name="build", description=("Build in a region"))
@app_commands.describe(region=(f"Region Selector. between 1 and {len(jsonhandler.getregionjson())}"))
@app_commands.describe(building="Select the building you want to build.")
@app_commands.choices(building=[
  discord.app_commands.Choice(name="Village",value=1,description="Build cost: 100 Gold, 25 Stone, 25 Wood"),
  discord.app_commands.Choice(name="Port",value=2,description="Build cost: 100 Gold, 30 Stone, 15 Wood"),
  discord.app_commands.Choice(name="Fort",value=3,description="Build cost: 175 Gold,40 Stone,10 Wood, 20 Iron ")
])
async def build(interaction: discord.Interaction, building: discord.app_commands.Choice[int], region: int):
  adminhandler.logInteraction(build,interaction.user)
  
  msg = regionhandler.build(interaction,region,building)
  await interaction.response.send_message(msg)

i attempted it here with description. yet its invalid.

[hushed galleon]

discord's API doesn't support it so you'll have to suffice with putting it inside the name, which allows up to 100 characters

[fickle aurora]

if you were doing the first option you would have to store the last number of members in the server to then substract it from the new one; and if you were doing the second - you'd have to store the value of how many members joined somewhere (the one which you add 1 to - so in the on_member_join listener you just do count += 1 or something of that sort)

[timber lotus]

Oh OK so it's NOT** it like pulling data from discord. Like when you click members. It shows when a member joined and invites. I was curious if it can access that. So I just have to save whatever data I want to recall. Thanks!!

[fickle aurora]

I did not quite get your point there. Let me clarify: the on_member_join listener just "listens" to discord and whenever discord says that some member joined a server it is triggered, and inside of it, there is code that you want the bot to execute when the member joins, if I'm not mistaken you are given the member instance in that function, in your case if you do not care about anything else than count you just do something like count += 1. So something like this: ```py
count = 0
@bot.listen()
async def on_member_join(member):
count += 1

at the end of the day:

print(count)
``` With the first method however, you can create a background task, or you could do it each day yourself, the bot has last_member_count stored somewhere and when needed - it subtracts that from current member count, so something like this:

last_member_count = 10  # number of members right now
@tasks.loop(days=1)
async def check_member_count():
    guild = await bot.fetch_guild(guild_id_here)
    print(guild.member_count - last_member_count)
    last_member_count = guild.member_count

yea i had a typo. big thumbs and a bad proof reader haha. i get it, thank you for explaining

[young dagger]

I'm still receiving this errors pretty frequently now
https://paste.pythondiscord.com/BTDA

[hushed galleon]

hmm that does seem abnormal... try enabling debug logging for the gateway, i.e. py log = logging.getLogger("discord.gateway") log.setLevel(logging.DEBUG) perhaps some code could be blocking the heartbeat? though normally discord.py issues a warning if that's the case

[young dagger]

That is just spamming the console with a lot no sense

when it happens again, look for "Keeping shard ID None websocket alive with sequence" and see if something's unusual, like it not occuring close to the disconnect

only bot+applications.commands scope, the permissions can be whatever your bot needs to do the stuff you want
https://fallendeity.github.io/discord.py-masterclass/#adding-the-bot-to-a-server

[faint dragon]

im curious what you lads think of this monstrosity i made for an example (discord.py)

[young dagger]

It's generating a lot of events. Is there a way to filter the logs to only show details when this specific error occurs?

I'm using

import logging

log = logging.getLogger("discord.gateway")
log.setLevel(logging.DEBUG)```

[faint dragon]

just read through a bit of this... and i had the same exact thing happen randomly within the last hour

[hushed galleon]

https://docs.python.org/3/howto/logging.html#useful-handlers

When filtering based on logger level and/or handler level is not enough, instances of Filter can be added to both Logger and Handler instances (through their addFilter() method). Before deciding to process a message further, both loggers and handlers consult all their filters for permission. If any filter returns a false value, the message is not processed further.
should be able to add a filter to log that checks the message

[hushed galleon]

anyone who reads my message is cursed with close code 1000

[faint dragon]

happened after i ran a command and it completed (so blocking code on my end isnt a possibility)

just... happened while idling

hasnt happened since, so this is most likely discord being goofy as per usual, not the bot actually breaking/blocking somewhere

[final iron]

Kind of redundant as timeout exists already

[faint dragon]

timeout?

oh you mean the actual time out, yeah thats too general

if you want to do that you right click them and do it manually, you dont need a bot for that one, but adding a role with a reason that could allow access to explicit channels? job for a bot command

[final iron]

You can also just right click and add the role

[faint dragon]

tru, but you end up lacking the reason (which you dont with timeouts because discord intended it to be used by right clicking, unlike adding a muted role)

the base code is from a time before such things as 'timeouts' existed

no reason to cut support for role based muting, while also no reason to convert to using timeouts (because they were intended for user use first and foremost)

[final iron]

What’s the point in letting a user access predefined channels when they’re muted

[faint dragon]

a dedicated muted channel where the plebs can beg for forgiveness or mingle with the other plebs while waiting to be unmuted, etc etc

main focus was for this part tho which you took no notice of somehow LOL

[final iron]

I have legitimately no clue what this is, and there were other issues to focus on

You’re not checking permissions or hierarchy

[faint dragon]

thats all done in the check lol, the bots security and moderation focused i would be blowing my own legs off if i didnt add all that

[final iron]

Show the check

[faint dragon]

that checks perms and role hierarchy at the same time

[final iron]

I saw that. Show the code of it

[faint dragon]

its like my math teacher asking to show my work with the end result

[final iron]

Also, what’s the PredefinedAction?

Is this for the code to tell which action it needs to do, i.e muting, banning etc

[faint dragon]

this is the version it uses i think

i have another where it relies on discord.py's logic for checks and not my own

[final iron]

This doesn’t check hierarchy though

[faint dragon]

defining all possible outcomes at the start and jumping directly to the right action based on data

[final iron]

Depending on your implementation, it might be easier to use an Enum to specify the type of action

[faint dragon]

yea i could have swore that was in there, but i think that got lost in the rewrite, finding lost of things that got accidentally cut the more i look back on stuff

i know i added that somewhere along the line, somewhere in the bot

[faint dragon]

not fully following i dont think

[final iron]

Show the code

Let me see if it’s applicable

[final iron]

Make sure it’s checking somewhere as it’s pretty important

[faint dragon]

its a bit big but ill yeet a pastebin your way

its pretty funky tbh, its the first iteration and i made it after a good 20~ hours of no sleep and a good 5/10 hours of working on something similar for interacting with APIs

[final iron]

Yeah what i said probably isn’t applicable to your scenario

[faint dragon]

async def return_1():
    return 1

async def return_2():
    return 2

async def return_3():
    return 3

async def print_if_2():
    print("Found 2")

async def print_if_3():
    print("Found 3")

base = predefiner.PredefinedActions(return_1) # what you pass is where it gets the data from, either a coroutine or string/bool/int/etc

# make the collection, and set its trigger to 1, then give it a coro/string/bool/int/etc to get data from
collection = base.make_predefined_collection(1, return_2)
# add an action under said collection with the trigger of 2, and the action of print_if_2
collection.add_action(2, print_if_2)

# base runs `return_1` and finds 1 -> jumps to collection (because its trigger is 1, and it found 1) -> jumps to the action (because its trigger is 2, and it found 2)
base.run()

tried to dumb it down without straight up pseudo code

the output of that is

Found 2
Found 3

as you would expect

find 1 -> jump to collection with trigger 1 -> find 2 -> jump to action with trigger 2 and run it

i came up with all this after making a weird little connector for my bot to use when accessing APIs

wanted to cut code + time spent just processing ifs and elifs on API based commands (old below)

[polar slate]

Someone have a function that auto sync every commands to every guild on startup of the bot ?

I failed to make it I think so idk how to do it

[weary copper]

what kind of tests would anyone suggest it's worth making for a discord.py bot?
i'm trying to have at least some tests, ie to simulate users using commands, and i'm trying to use a mix of pytest and dpytest but I'm having no luck

since for my test cases to work, I need to explicitly change a user's id/name etc, which involves somehow creating a discord.Member object (and a discord.Guild object too) from "scratch", which seems close to impossible 😂

i can't seem to find much info about how it might be best to introduce some (automated) tests for a bot like this. so would appreciate some pointers if possible

[faint dragon]

(probably) one of your best bets would be to entirely write your own tests from the ground up from inside the bot itself

have it use your own Member object (grab it somewhere once the bots running) for tests and a dedicated (real) guild to use in the tests (because actually simulating all this on your own is insanely tedious to do with discord.py)

this is the closest ive gotten to simulating events and its with my own event maneger that handles dispatching and running events

its pretty dumb but it works for reeeeally basic things

[faint dragon]

all in all its not really worth it, i would just go with getting the bot running, and then using objects grabbed from somewhere in the bot instead of attempting to make the objects from scratch with the expected data

grab your own guild, member, grab a message by ID and use that (can replace the content to make it seem like different messages) to invoke commands however you do that with the message object

[faint dragon]

a little example of message voodoo with my own bot (not vanilla discord.py, dont expect to be able to do the same stuff)

changes the message author to make it seem like someone else sent the message, and then changes the content, and re-runs the code that invokes commands to begin with

[final iron]

This would get you rate limited instantly

[acoustic kernel]

is there a way to put tasks into there own file?

plz check my link

ohhhh damnnn i forgott that bro thanksss

[blissful crane]

you're adding buttons but you're not giving them any functionality

you must override the function's callback function for it to do anything

this can be done through subclassing or other ways

wait

is that discord.py?

Hey can anyone solve my confusion?

There are so many forks or discord.py and like some lib written from scracth too that I have read online.

Like pycord, hikari, and many more

So what should I actually consider? like what discord.py or pycord as I tried both and they work? also pycord support some voice recording functionality but still I have seen many peopl esaying pycord is not good

So I'm hella confused pls help me x-x or explain why or why not

Hello. I want to create a bot on discord I know how to make it on discord dev portal . My issue is how to program the codes on replit I don't know what to choose to make a file that programs the bot like there is python with turtle. Python data science . Python cmu . And http . And a lot others
What is the one that makes the bot of discord?
And no chatgpt plz

[gray mantle]

use discord.py module and a good ide for programming instead of replit u can use VS code or atom

[manic igloo]

Thank u bro

I've tried setting different permissions but nothing works. Is it the permissions in the role? How do i fix?

[vale wing]

Make sure these conditions are valid

1. Bot has manage roles permission
2. Bot's top role is higher than the role being assigned to member

Also to get a member you can

member = guild.get_member(member_id)

Same goes for role

[hushed galleon]

odd, the bot sent a heartbeat and discord acknowledged it just seconds before the connection closed... perhaps that particular gateway region is having issues?

[light lintel]

I completely forgot about 2, thx

[light lintel]

oh cool, i could't find this solution.

[young dagger]

Do you have any idea what I can do about it?

[vale wing]

If that really is regional gateway issue, the only way is to change region I guess. Via proxy or using VPS in different location

[young dagger]

I mean, what else could it be?

[vale wing]

I seen you figuring out this issue throughout the day but I never seen the original post

[young dagger]

I changed VPS location from Netherlands to France, still same issue

[young dagger]

Here are the logs:
https://paste.pythondiscord.com/4TBA

[vale wing]

Can try the following to identify the issue

1. Run for different application
2. Run from local machine
3. Make simple project with logging enabled and deploy it on VPS

If 2 runs without disconnects, it is discord issue or your environment's

If 3 runs, it is your code issue

If 1 runs it is application issue however possibility of that is rather low

@young dagger hm i found something that might be related

Although not stated anywhere, ws code 257 might refer to SSL certs issues

Not sure what that 257 is tho

Or that's enum value? Idk I never seen internals

SSL certs error typically happens before connection also

[young dagger]

That's what I did. I ran a simple Discord bot with minimal code and still got the same issue. I then ran the same code locally and from another VPS, and there were no issues.

[vale wing]

Ok so that's either environment or regional issue

Do you have the ability to containerise the project

Or to configure problematic VPS to use another VPS as proxy

[young dagger]

Not really sure how to do that

[vale wing]

Yk docker?

[young dagger]

Yes but never used it. I run my Discord bots on PM2

[vale wing]

Pm2 is for node tho isn't it?

[young dagger]

Mainly but you can run Python on it as well

[vale wing]

Anyways if you don't have docker we shouldn't be bothering with installing it

What about proxy?

[young dagger]

We could, but I doubt it's a regional issue since I switched the VPS location from the Netherlands to France + locally with a VPN from different locations

[vale wing]

Mm, try reinstalling the certs

$ sudo apt install --reinstall ca-certificates

I hope I remembered the command correctly

[young dagger]

[pseudo saffron]

can you use hybrid commands and app commands

cause somehow my appcommands dont work

but my hybrid commands work

[vale wing]

Mm hybrid commands combine prefix and app/slash commands

Your slash commands most likely don't work because you have not added applications.commands scope when authorising bot

[light lintel]

Question: How can i run a function with the bot internaly? Like, theres an async function, and i have a GUI, i press a button and the bot preforms this function. The only way how i got the bot to do my thing it by making the thing a part of the @bot.event on_ready() and for every launch of this turns on and off. Inefficient, slow, horrible.

[vale wing]

Or didn't sync

[pseudo saffron]

it sync on starup

[vale wing]

Scope?

[pseudo saffron]

but what u mean with application.commands

[pseudo saffron]

this one

[vale wing]

If you have GUI you gonna be building a bit complicated code

I'm not even sure if you should be using discord.py-like lib for GUI apps

[pseudo saffron]

i dont think its a good idea

[vale wing]

If you are gonna maintain websocket connection

For simple requests that might be okay

But for simple requests you could just make simple requests

[pseudo saffron]

@vale wing i tried this but it just gives an error

[vale wing]

When generating oauth link make sure to enable these both

[pseudo saffron]

okay

[light lintel]

so, i can't just bot.run(function)? aw man... I wanted to make a validation system that would also do stuff in the discord once user validated...

[pseudo saffron]

1 sec i will try

[vale wing]

It might be obsolete now though, just to check this out of possible issue causes in case it doesn't work

[vale wing]

Integrating GUI and discord.py is not an easy task

What do you use for GUI

And why can't you use like discord buttons

[light lintel]

the worst choise possible. Guess :). From what i've heard, that's enough hints... ||Tkinter||

worst choice would be easygui

[light lintel]

ah

never heard of that

[pseudo saffron]

it worked thanks for your help ❤️

[vale wing]

Np, glad to help

[vale wing]

Alright let me explain what the issues are

Interaction with discord API has 2 sides - websocket gateway and API requests.

The websocket gateway allows you to receive data from discord on certain events, eg. when user sends a message or channel gets created. Websocket is a type of connection that presumes data being sent both from client and server. And it is maintained in async event loop in discord.py. Tkinter, as it is not async, will block that event loop thereby disabling you to receive event data from discord.

The API request is more of one sided - client requests something from server and server gives a response. Server does not initiate connections on its own. The API requests are used to commit actions or to retrieve data, eg. get last 10 messages in channel, ban a member, add a role to someone and so on. It is easy to implement the API requests in non-async context and without discord.py.

[light lintel]

so if all i need is to run a function that gives role to a user and sends a message, what do i use and how do i do it?

[vale wing]

You need requests since you commit actions

Can use requests library for that

Basic message send request will look like

r = requests.post(
    f"https://discord.com/api/v10/channels/{channel_id}/messages",
    json={
        "content": "Hi!"
    },
    headers={
        "Authorization": f"Bot {token}",
        "Content-Type": "application/json"
    }
r.raise_for_status()

Create Message endpoint
Modify Member endpoint

Pretty sure this should be done in a thread too, but I am not really familiar with python GUI apps development

[light lintel]

oh cool...

[vale wing]

Nevermind, single role add endpoint is this

The previous one was for atomic

[light lintel]

yo thats cool

[vale wing]

If you aren't familiar with API requests this is a good way into, in discord it's not very complicated and documentation is good

[light lintel]

i mean we were tought AJAX with JS and PHP at school so i got the idea...

[vale wing]

Nice, you should understand it then

[light lintel]

i get the idea, but that's about it...
Can i see an example of this? Let's say... send a message to a channel?

[vale wing]

This is the example

That does exactly that ☺️

Can explain every line if you want me to

[light lintel]

ah

So...

r = requests.post(
    f"https://discord.com/api/v10/channels/{channel_id}/messages",
    json={
        "content": member.mention,
        "embed": {
            "title": 'You have been verified!'
            "description": f"- You now have the {role.name} role\n- You've been whitelisted on the server"
            "thumbnail": member.default_avatar
    },
    headers={
        "Authorization": f"Bot {token}",
        "Content-Type": "application/json"
    }
r.raise_for_status()

Would look like this?

[final iron]

try it and see

[light lintel]

wait it wouldnt cuz now i don't have the pfp url and name and mention and etc

That was done with discord.py

[final iron]

Then you need to get them

[light lintel]

all that the documentation says is /guilds/{guild.id}/members/{user.id}, what is the rest of the url???

[final iron]

The base url is https://discord.com/api/v{version number here}

[light lintel]

ah

thx

Yay!

Now whats wrong

r = requests.post(
    f"https://discord.com/api/v10/guilds/<guildId>/members/{member_id}",
    headers={
        "Authorization": f"Bot {TOKEN}",
        "Content-Type": "application/json"
    })
print(r.text)

[sick birch]

that's probably a GET verb

[light lintel]

yeah chat gpt told me so... Btw anyone know how to get a link to the user avater when "avatar":"ea14e17297ad8e03287ed6954bb3a067"?

[mighty terrace]

why do the embed only shows the client id instead of actually mentioning the person

[chilly hare]

Did discord change the way to get message.content?

[final iron]

You can't mention users in titles

[mighty terrace]

ohh

tahnks

[chilly hare]

@client.event
async def on_message(message):
print(message.channel) # ACTUALLY PRINTS THE CHANNEL NAME
print(message.content) # prints blank line
``` any ideas?

[final iron]

You need the message_content intent

[chilly hare]

I gave it that intent in my 0auth do I also have to give it to it in python?

[final iron]

yes

[chilly hare]

aw thats weird why cant we go back to when everything was open for use

😭

How does one go about adding intents

[final iron]

!d discord.Intents

[unkempt canyon]

discord.Intents

class discord.Intents(value=0, **kwargs)```
Wraps up a Discord gateway intent flag.

Similar to [`Permissions`](https://discordpy.readthedocs.io/en/latest/api.html#discord.Permissions), the properties provided are two way. You can set and retrieve individual bits using the properties as if they were regular bools.

To construct an object you can pass keyword arguments denoting the flags to enable or disable.

This is used to disable certain gateway features that are unnecessary to run your bot. To make use of this, it is passed to the `intents` keyword argument of [`Client`](https://discordpy.readthedocs.io/en/latest/api.html#discord.Client).

New in version 1.5.

[final iron]

!d discord.Intents.message_content

[unkempt canyon]

discord.Intents.message\_content

Whether message content, attachments, embeds and components will be available in messages which do not meet the following criteria:

• The message was sent by the client

• The message was sent in direct messages

• The message mentions the client

This applies to the following events...

[chilly hare]

Cant I just use intents all

Oh I can

[chilly hare]

fuckin what

await message.author.send(f"{message.author.mention} Hey!")

[final iron]

You can only send messages to accounts which have the setting enabled, share a mutual server or have friended

[chilly hare]

you also gotta make sure your intents are setup

[final iron]

Turn what on

[chilly hare]

Okay heres what your problem is, for the bot to dm the user. they need to have a mutual server or be friends

or be like a verified bot

and once they get kicked it cant dm them

be as succesful as mee6

lol

[small girder]

Hi everyone

[final iron]

Sure, that's not a good solution though

[final iron]

Verified bots still have to abide by those rules

[chilly hare]

pretty sure bots like mee6 still manage to dm people..

[final iron]

Only if they're in a mutual server

Why do you need your bot to DM them

You don't

Then create your own command and DM them yourself

How are you banning them

So DM them before you ban them

How

No, the bot DMs them

no?

Before banning the user, you just send them a message

[desert kiln]

I forgot how to give your bot the twitch streaming status

[chilly hare]

fucking what

[drifting arrow]

How do I add emojis to buttons?

[naive briar]

!d discord.ui.Button - the emoji argument

[unkempt canyon]

discord.ui.Button

class discord.ui.Button(*, style=<ButtonStyle.secondary: 2>, label=None, disabled=False, custom_id=None, url=None, emoji=None, row=None)```
Represents a UI button.

New in version 2.0.

[drifting arrow]

pretty sure i read that and it still didnt help lol

all good tho. i figured it out

[naive briar]

Why is that?

[drifting arrow]

am not smart

all good tho.

[young dagger]

Still get the same error

Anybody know why I'm frequently getting this error?
https://paste.pythondiscord.com/4TBA

[mighty terrace]

how can i define an optional argument?

[finite salmon]

non default parameters should preceed default parameters

[slate swan]

You set its default value to None or something else

[finite salmon]

They have done that but it shows error because the default parameter is in between non default parameters

[tribal pivot]

Hello! Please help me. I'm working on enabling slash commands for a bot, but I'm having trouble with responding to these messages. The timeout is too short; is there a way to increase it?

            embed = discord.Embed(title="Информация о плейлисте", description="У вас нет сохраненных плейлистов", color=discord.Color.red())
        elif playlistname not in users[user]:
            embed = discord.Embed(title="Информация о плейлисте", description=f"Плейлист с названием `{playlistname}` не существует", color=discord.Color.red())
        else:

[blazing condor]

you're using Discord.py right?

[frank totem]

This is another project of mine. It's a custom built discord bot framework based on discord py.

https://github.com/alexanderthegreat96/discord-nadeshot

[frank totem]

By the looks of it, he does.

[frank totem]

I will give you a tip. Slash commands are buggy, cached by your discord client and have plenty of issues.

I avoid them when I want advanced functionality.

[blazing condor]

interesting, I'm still stumped on those issue's he's having where the bot randomly disconnects. Never had any of those warnings/errors.

[frank totem]

If the bot disconnects it can be caused API timeouts, issues with his overall connectivity, and more.

[blazing condor]

that's what i was thinking, API seems fine atm.

[frank totem]

As I said. Slash commands are weird.

[blazing condor]

wrong issue.

[finite salmon]

You need to defer the interaction

[finite salmon]

As of the latest discord.py version, it isn't.

The advantages of slash commands over weigh prefix

The only good thing of prefix over slash is the ease of use

[tribal pivot]

I know it's possible to postpone it, but I still need to respond to this message later, and after postponing it, responding again doesn't seem to work.

[finite salmon]

You'd need to use interaction.followup.send() after deffering if I'm not wrong

[final iron]

You can’t postpone it. You always need to respond within 3 seconds

defer gives you an extra 15 minutes, but it still counts as a response so you’re limited when sending follow-ups

[tribal pivot]

Alright, thank you very much to everyone who responded!

[young dagger]

Yes

[frank totem]

Hence why I built my system for that. I wanted a way to organize everything, define commands on the fly, have in depth argument parsing, support for middlewares and so on.

o wait nvm mb

so the problem is every time i use any cmds it says cmd not found

i even added checks to load cogs
they are getting loaded but the cmds still says not found

try your help command

if it dosent appear there, it's your command code

can someone help me

with this error

[frank totem]

Just ask GPT

[sturdy fractal]

LMAO bro i m using chatgpt and he cant solve it

[sturdy fractal]

it doesnt work

[candid geyser]

i didn't get any error for this code
are you sure that you are using the right module?

[blazing condor]

not the best advice to give someone but.

[ivory storm]

i using discord.py

[candid geyser]

did u install it as pip install discord.py?
if yes, then it should not error like that
try updating it

[sturdy fractal]

intents.messages = True
intents.guilds = True
intents.message_content = True

u need to add all intents ig

[candid geyser]

did u install the right module?
cuz as far as i know, that class is available only in pycord

did u install any other module instead of pycord?

did u install it as py-cord?

[blazing condor]

i don't get a error either from that at all

@ivory storm what version of discord.py do you have?

either sounds like a lib version issue or a python version issue, but im thinking discord version cause intents wasn't introduced till 1.5.0 IIRC

[candid geyser]

can u see what are the extensions that are loaded in?
like can u make the bot send a message that contains the value of bot.extensions and see whether the cogs are listed in there?

[finite salmon]

Something is probably wrong with the way you're loading the cogs

You sure the list has the correct path?

[sturdy fractal]

Mono pyrmo lyney W

 
initial_extensions = ['cogs.moderation', 'cogs.general', 'cogs.help', 'cogs.fun']

async def load_cogs():
    for extension in initial_extensions:
        try:
            bot.load_extension(f"Sofi_Utility.{extension}")  # Corrected the load_extension path
            print(f"{extension} cog has been loaded.")
        except Exception as e:
            print(f"{extension} cog failed to load.\n{e}")

# Use asyncio.run to run the asynchronous function
asyncio.run(load_cogs())

[finite salmon]

You don't need to put it in an async function

There isn't any async function being called in it

And what does it print out anyway

[sturdy fractal]

Still there was no async before to it

[finite salmon]

?

Oh wait

[finite salmon]

I'm not sure but if it'll work but you probably need to specify.py in your extensions

like cogs.moderation.py

[sturdy fractal]

hmm? lemme try that too
but my other discord bot dont have .py and it works

[finite salmon]

Can you show the structure of your directory

[vocal plover]

you can't use .py in it, load_extension does so based on python modules, not files

so

bot/
  extensions/
    abc.py
```would be loaded with `bot.extensions.abc`

[sturdy fractal]

this
fun,general,help.mod comes under cogs

[sturdy fractal]

no one there to help me out?

Sure

oh I see what it is

[mystic belfry]

Hello, I need help with my py-cord on_message event. And when I send a few messages, the cpu load on my server explodes (with around 45 messages it increased by 2%). How can I fix this or is there someone here with whom I could fix this code?

[pale zenith]

does it consistently go up? 2% ain't shit, unless you mean 2% every N messages, until 100%

[mystic belfry]

No, I mean when the bot restarts it is at 0.6% and it stays there even if I don't do anything, but as soon as you start writing messages it increases and the more messages you write, the higher the CPU utilization increases

[sturdy fractal]

I was getting some multidict error so i removed v3.12 and installed 3.11.7

[pale zenith]

Yep. there are no wheels built for some libraries which are required to install discord.py in python 3.12, though one of the moderators of the discord.py discord server has an index with them built. If you wish to install discord.py in python3.12 you can use the following:
pip install -U --force-reinstall discord.py --extra-index-url https://abstractumbra.github.io/pip/

[sturdy fractal]

I just installed 3.11.7

[sturdy fractal]

Thx for it
Will update u if I got any error again 🙏

[pale zenith]

no problem

[slate swan]

One message removed from a suspended account.

One message removed from a suspended account.

[pale zenith]

elaborate?

in what way is it not working?

[slate swan]

One message removed from a suspended account.

[pale zenith]

then you need to sync your CommandTree

plus that looks like a free-floating command defined with app_commands.command, that's used for creating commands objects, mostly when used within cogs

@tree.command() or @bot.tree.command() if you're using commands.Bot - that's what you do to define app commands outside cogs

See the Application command basics section here

specifically the syncing part

that should explain everything you need to know

[edgy plinth]

I need a way to run multiple commands at once, guessing with async io. however I have no experience with async io.

If it helps, here is what my commands are structured like

@client.tree.command(name="test",description = "This command is used for testing.")
async def Test(interaction:discord.Interaction):
  adminhandler.logInteraction(Test,interaction.user)
  latency = client.latency
  await interaction.response.send_message(f"Test Sucessful Ping:{latency}ms")

[acoustic kernel]

!interaction

!paste

[unkempt canyon]

Pasting large amounts of code

If your code is too long to fit in a codeblock in Discord, you can paste your code here:
https://paste.pythondiscord.com/

After pasting your code, save it by clicking the Paste! button in the bottom left, or by pressing CTRL + S. After doing that, you will be navigated to the new paste's page. Copy the URL and post it here so others can see it.

[final iron]

Commands are handled by the library

[edgy plinth]

is there anything i can do?

[final iron]

There's nothing you should do. Commands are asynchronous. As long as you don't have blocking code in them they can be run concurrently

[edgy plinth]

blocking code being sequence / non async?

[acoustic kernel]

Anyone having problems connecting to discord server with the bot? Multiple of my bots arent responding to interactions. In multiple servers, in mulitple locations

[final iron]

Yes

Is there a way to convert a string to a discord.member data type?

[unkempt canyon]

Nuh-uh.

No documentation found for the requested symbol.

[final iron]

!d discord.ext.commands.MemberConverter.convert

[unkempt canyon]

discord.ext.commands.MemberConverter.convert

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

The method to override to do conversion logic.

If an error is found while converting, it is recommended to raise a [`CommandError`](https://discordpy.readthedocs.io/en/latest/ext/commands/api.html#discord.ext.commands.CommandError) derived exception as it will properly propagate to the error handlers.

Decorator?

omg

i am your right thank you

gosh im dumb

Okay it says it synced it, however I still cannot use the command

Depends what you mean by better and what you use it for

tbh there are usecases for both

[final iron]

They both cover the entirety of the API

[chilly hare]

Maybe its my intents when inviting the bot, what intents would I need for creating commands?

applications.commands, anything else?

[final iron]

That, and the bot scope

[chilly hare]

Alright

Thank you I got it all working now

.msg {triggername} {reply}```

Example:

```py
.msg naksh naksh is {name} and {profession}

And

.v {triggername} {values of {} I added}

How to code it

[tall creek]

class CommandProcessor:
    def __init__(self):
        self.triggers = {}
        self.variables = {}

    def add_trigger(self, trigger, reply_template):
        self.triggers[trigger] = reply_template

    def set_variable(self, variable, values):
        self.variables[variable] = values

    def process_command(self, command):
        parts = command.split()
        action = parts[0]

        if action == ".msg":
            trigger = parts[1]
            reply_template = ' '.join(parts[2:])
            self.add_trigger(trigger, reply_template)
        elif action == ".v":
            variable = parts[1]
            values = ' '.join(parts[2:])
            self.set_variable(variable, values)
        elif action in self.triggers:
            reply_template = self.triggers[action]

            for variable, value in self.variables.items():
                reply_template = reply_template.replace(f"{{{variable}}}", value)

            return reply_template
        else:
            return "Unknown command."

# Example usage:
processor = CommandProcessor()

# Add triggers
processor.process_command(".msg naksh naksh is {name} and {profession}")

# Set variables
processor.process_command(".v name Naksh")
processor.process_command(".v profession developer")

# Process commands
response = processor.process_command("naksh")
print(response)

[slate swan]

Convert to bot.command

And it will save in MSG's.json

could you provide the full traceback.

hey i am getting this now

[blazing condor]

It's telling you what you need to do, Bot.add_cog is a Coroutine function which you need to await keyword for calling it.

[light violet]

can we load extension by not using await

[blazing condor]

it could lead to issues

[light violet]

how cam i import flags from discord ext commands

[vale wing]

What flags? What are you trying to do

[vale wing]

In discord.py no

Gotta use setup_hook

@vale wing

[blazing condor]

Abstract classes, can't be instantiated directly, meaning you can't create objects of abstract classes.

e.g

!e

from abc import ABC, abstractmethod



class Person(ABC):
    def __init__(self, name) -> None:
        self.name = name
    
    @abstractmethod
    def introduce_yourself(self):
        pass



adam = Person("Adam") # this would error

[light violet]

how do i fix

[vale wing]

First, what even is Instance? Second, why do you need it

[naive briar]

🫠

[light violet]

its umongo instance

[light violet]

for mongo db

[vale wing]

The Instance class

You can just use bot.db where you need, there's absolutely no need to declare the instance of db as sort of static field

[light violet]

what

[vale wing]

In your code it is not even a classvar but a variable, don't get purpose of it

[light violet]

isnt there any way i can use instance

[vale wing]

Why do you need to use it

If you need db access you just bot.db.whatever_method_that_class_has()

[light violet]

i just want to make an open sourced bot run

dont wanna mess with it much

[vale wing]

Link me that bot

If it's open sourced and throws errors either you don't have right environment or their project is screwed up

[light violet]

can i give u replit join link?

the project is old

[vale wing]

Oh it's on replit 😭

If the project is old it might be using deprecated version of discord API and not work at all

[light violet]

actually

i fixed them btw can fix database stuff

[vale wing]

Ok link it

[light violet]

is that u?

[novel berry]

How do you sort in things in diffrent categories if they are between a specific amount
level = { 1: (< 1000 and > 5000), 2: (< 5000 and > 10000) 3: (< 10000 and > 25000) 4: (< 25000 and > 50000) 5: (< 50000 and > 100000) 6: (< 100000 and > 500000) 7: (< 500000 and > 1000000) }

[vale wing]

Nope, I realized I need to login to replit and I'm too busy to do that

[light violet]

lol

somebody hopped into my repl

[timber lotus]

i figured it out. thanks all

[naive briar]

This is just a general Python question, see #❓｜how-to-get-help

[young dagger]

Anybody know why I'm frequently getting this error?
https://paste.pythondiscord.com/4TBA

[golden portal]

from what i understand, code 1000 is just a graceful shutdown from discord, you receive these once every 15min to 2 hours so dpy will reconnect right after

[young dagger]

It's literally errors messages and not a "regular reconnect"

[mystic belfry]

yes actions like antilink, antimassping, antiping and a few more

[golden portal]

then the only last thing is a network issue or a blocking code, which i dont see any blocking warning, so perhaps net issue

you received a WSMsgType.CLOSED

[young dagger]

What does that mean?

[golden portal]

disrupted connection

when you get that flag dpy just reconnects right after so you get the error printed

you should ask in dpy though im not really technical with aiohttp's ws

[young dagger]

Nothing is blocking, as I'm getting the same error message when running a Discord bot with minimal code just to run the bot

Basically, no functions, just the token to run the bot

[vale wing]

@young dagger tried containerisation yet?

Also since this issue takes so long to resolve it's worth creating an issue in discord.py repo

Might also want to check similar issues

[young dagger]

What does that mean?

How do I do that? Can you elaborate?

[vale wing]

Docker

Check my guide https://www.pythondiscord.com/pages/guides/python-guides/docker-hosting-guide/ till github section, can even ignore compose to be quicker

[young dagger]

Thank you. How do you mean this would help me resolve the issue? I'm already using PM2, and I've never encountered any issues with it

[vale wing]

Judging from what you tried to fix that, switching to different VPS or local machine helped resolve that issue, but switching regions didn't, so I assume it's environmental issue

Containerisation creates isolated environment

That is not dependent on OS

And yeah just in case, could I see code that you run?

Can someone help me please? Right now this command used to work. But now it constantly says that it doesnt have permission to delete the role. Im not sure why because the bot has administrator.

[timber lotus]

is there a best practice when it comes to testing?

[tender cradle]

I have created a bot account, and now I have started redesigning the bot to migrate from discord.py to nextcord. Is there a way to remove all of the commands that was previously registered?

[timber lotus]

im new but had an issue where the bot wasnt above the role i was trying to assign. id check there first, make sure the bot is above the role in the role list.

let me rephrase, when testing, do i just go about using the bot and see if anything happens or doesnt act as its suppose to, or is there like an order to test things? like test all database functions first, then all commands, then all embeds and views etc.??

[upbeat mason]

oh my lord i forgot about intents

[slate swan]

Yep enable members as well and it's good

[upbeat mason]

alright thanks

also should i just enable all?

[slate swan]

Actually just change to .all()

[upbeat mason]

intents.all(), i dont see why not

okay yeah thanks

[chilly hare]

How does one do things without waiting, using asyncio. ex. I'm trying to do a get to a website every time I do !get but I cannot run !get again till I get a response.. How does one get around that

I recall someone at some point saying somethin about a asyncio task?

[sick birch]

what library are you using to make the get requests?

[chilly hare]

Er sorry its a post request, im using "requests"

[sick birch]

that's probably why

requests blocks the entire event loop for the duration of the request which is bad

[chilly hare]

Oh I see, what would be a better alternative?

[sick birch]

discord.py depends on aiohttp, so you get that for free essentially.
but httpx is also loved by the community

[chilly hare]

I think I'll give httpx a try then

[sick birch]

sure. just make sure to use the async interface it provides - otherwise you'll have the same problem

i bring it up because httpx provides both a synchronous and asynchronous interface

unlike aiohttp

[chilly hare]

So does having await matter? does it affect anything?

[sick birch]

it does

the await is what marks something as non-blocking

well, it's a bit more technical than that but it's not important for this

[chilly hare]

Here the bot generates a image with the prompt girl
then does a postlogembed

How do I make it so it will generate the image in the background but carry on with the code

Would that be used with asyncio?

So technically I want it to start generating the girl but it would take so long it would respond and do it stuff after the embed and print

or is that threading

[sick birch]

it depends on if generateImage is an I/O bound or CPU bound task

[chilly hare]

gosh this is so confusing, no matter what I do it breaks or the code just stops until the image is returned

[cold oyster]

[unkempt canyon]

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.

[cold oyster]

not for you all sorrry need it

[shrewd fjord]

Run the task in bg, use asyncio.create_task

[drifting arrow]

What's the function for detecting if someone leaves a discord server?

After some googling it's "remove" xD not "leave"

What would you guys recommend for detecting if someone leaves a server (guild)? "on_raw_member_remove" or "on_member_remove"?

On member remove doesnt use the cache 🤔

and raw member remove ignores it and is triggered regardless

[sick birch]

Depends on your use case

[drifting arrow]

I just need to detect if someone leaves a guild so I can update my database lol

[sick birch]

But I think you have it backwards. on member remove only triggers if the member was cached

[sick birch]

I assume you just need their ID?

[drifting arrow]

yes

[sick birch]

then the raw event should work fine, and more reliably

[drifting arrow]

alright

idk how the caching works on discordpy

[vale wing]

Looks like this

t = asyncio.create_task(coro(...))
...
do_other_stuff()
...
use_result(await t)

[young dagger]

@vale wing So here is an update. I switched the os template (distro) from Ubuntu to Debian, and after running for almost 24 hours, I haven't seen the error message so far. Still using PM2 and Hostinger is the VPS provider.

[vale wing]

Told ya, was environment issue

If you switched to docker would be same result but without distro switch on VPS itself

Since debian isn't very different from ubuntu (ubuntu is actually based on debian), can keep things this way for now, but I strongly recommend switching to docker anyway

[sturdy fractal]

its blank {} {}

[pale zenith]

Okay, what is your full code for your main file?

[sturdy fractal]

i fucked up with code too much ig

[sturdy fractal]

https://paste.pythondiscord.com/7VTQ

[finite salmon]

You're supposed to load the cogs before the bot connects to discord

[sturdy fractal]

oo so what change i need to make

[finite salmon]

Actually I'm not sure about it

[finite salmon]

But you'd probably need to do the extension loading inside the init method ig

and also why do you have this

intents = discord.Intents.default()
intents = intents.all()

if you want all the intents you can just directly use discord.Intents.all()

[sturdy fractal]

o yes

[sturdy fractal]

https://paste.pythondiscord.com/VB7A

updated code as u said

but still same problem

[finite salmon]

What output do you get

In the terminal

@sturdy fractal

[sturdy fractal]

here

[finite salmon]

The problem was right there all along

[sturdy fractal]

tracemalloc?

[finite salmon]

you didn't await the load_extension

And it'd need to be in an async function for that

[sturdy fractal]

i did and still the warning is there and cogs are still not loaded

[finite salmon]

How did you await it in a sync function

[sturdy fractal]

not in this code but before

i did lemme do it again

[pale zenith]

Loading cogs is async @sturdy fractal - the way you were doing it before was fine. setup_hook is the proper place to do that

I'm sorry that you're getting mixed inputs here

[finite salmon]

Mb then

[pale zenith]

❌ false. They can be loaded whenever, there are no such restrictions

[finite salmon]

Wasn't sure about it

[finite salmon]

Ah

[pale zenith]

It's fine, don't worry

[finite salmon]

I use pycord usually and it's like that there

[sturdy fractal]

aah bro my brain is fu*ked up now
even chatgpt is useless asf

np about mix inputs but pls guys help me now my brain cant braining

[pale zenith]

I figured as much. pycord hasn't kept up with discord.py so your knowledge is out of date :(

[sturdy fractal]

np atleast u tried to help

[pale zenith]

Yeah. Unfortunately chat gpt has a knowledge cutoff of 2021, before all the async updates of discord.py happened

[sturdy fractal]

sorry but no sorry
there staff is ********

[finite salmon]

Lol

[young dagger]

Which port(s) does Discord bots usually run on?

[sturdy fractal]

ye suggest me better ai if uk
and help me pls

[pale zenith]

What's your most up to date code?

Paste the entire thing without omitting anything. And any errors/logs you get

[sturdy fractal]

https://paste.pythondiscord.com/VB7A
this

[pale zenith]

Default web socket ports. Same as https so 443 I presume

[pale zenith]

Ok, since cog loading is async, you need to use the setup_hook as you were doing before

You can simply rename def load_cogs to async def setup_hook and remove the call in the init

After that, you need to await self.load_extension

[sturdy fractal]

kk

[midnight oracle]

why this piece of code is not loading all the cogs inside of folders inside of the cogs folder?

    @bot.event
    async def on_ready():
        logging.info(f'Inicialidado como {bot.user}')
        await bot.change_presence(activity=discord.Game(name="/help"))
        await bot.tree.sync(guild=None) 
        
        for cog_file in settings.COG_DIR.glob("*.py"):                    
           if cog_file != "__init__.py":                                  
                await bot.load_extension(f"cogs.{cog_file.name[:-3]}")

        await bot.tree.sync()

[pale zenith]

Your glob only encapsulates the first directory, not sub dirs

from pathlib import Path

for file in Path('cogs').glob('**/*.py'):
    *tree, _ = file.parts
    await bot.load_extension(f"{'.'.join(tree)}.{file.stem}")

[midnight oracle]

oh

let me try xd

[pale zenith]

Your initial extensions is already in the cogs.x format

But you loading f"cogs.{path}"

So it's cogs.cogs.x

[midnight oracle]

Haha, you're awesome

[pale zenith]

[sturdy fractal]

in place of extension i need to type

[midnight oracle]

[pale zenith]

Think about it for a second.
initial_extensions = ["cogs.moderation"]

you load: f"cogs.{cog}"

So what does that become?

[sturdy fractal]

extension

it needs to be just self.load.extension(extension)

right?

[pale zenith]

Yup

[sturdy fractal]

worked

[pale zenith]

Problem solving/bug fixing is a great skill that you should master, and at some point, you won't need to often rely on the help of others because you'll have the knowledge. You'll get there

It's a process we all go through, so don't let that discourage you

[sturdy fractal]

thank you bro

[pale zenith]

Oh and if you need discord.py-specific help, you'll probably get faster responses from their discord. There should be an invite in this channel's topic

[sturdy fractal]
