[little urchin]

But I want to be able to send this to other people

If it's not possible thats ok

[upbeat otter]

well you need to tell us the error

[leaden olive]

why is player still not defined

[little urchin]

So when I double click the program it immediately closes

[upbeat otter]

run it on command promt

pt

[little urchin]

Ok

I will try when I get back to my laptop

[upbeat otter]

try not making it a class method

[upbeat otter]

yes

[leaden olive]

to what then?

[upbeat otter]

remove the decorator if you can run the method without making it a classmethod

ok leave it I have no idea don't listen to me

[leaden olive]

[viscid hornet]

idk

need more info than that

[viscid hornet]

!paste | whole code pretty please 🙏🏽

[viscid hornet]

nuh uh

[leaden olive]

damn

[viscid hornet]

you’re supposed to set the pool to the bot’s pool, not pass it as a separate argument

bumping this if anyone has any knowledge with it, also forgot that I'm using disnake not discord.py

[slate swan]

    from urllib.request import Request, urlopen

    req = Request(WEBHOOK_URL, data={'file': open('message.txt','rb')}, headers=headers); urlopen(req)   

TypeError: can't concat str to bytes

help anyone

[brazen raft]

You should probably use aiohttp which is included with discord.py and provides an asynchronous interface

[slate swan]

alright

[brazen raft]

If it's a Discord webhook you're trying to send a file thru, you can simply use discord.Webhook.send

[quick gust]

!d discord.Webhook

[unkempt canyon]

discord.Webhook

class discord.Webhook```
Represents an asynchronous Discord webhook.

Webhooks are a form to send messages to channels in Discord without a bot user or authentication.

There are two main ways to use Webhooks. The first is through the ones received by the library such as [`Guild.webhooks()`](https://discordpy.readthedocs.io/en/latest/api.html#discord.Guild.webhooks), [`TextChannel.webhooks()`](https://discordpy.readthedocs.io/en/latest/api.html#discord.TextChannel.webhooks), [`VoiceChannel.webhooks()`](https://discordpy.readthedocs.io/en/latest/api.html#discord.VoiceChannel.webhooks) and [`ForumChannel.webhooks()`](https://discordpy.readthedocs.io/en/latest/api.html#discord.ForumChannel.webhooks). The ones received by the library will automatically be bound using the library’s internal HTTP session.

The second form involves creating a webhook object manually using the [`from_url()`](https://discordpy.readthedocs.io/en/latest/api.html#discord.Webhook.from_url) or [`partial()`](https://discordpy.readthedocs.io/en/latest/api.html#discord.Webhook.partial) classmethods.

For example, creating a webhook from a URL and using [aiohttp](https://docs.aiohttp.org/en/stable/index.html):

[brazen raft]

If #discord-bots message is supposed to do that, you can refer to the example in the docs:

from discord import Webhook
import aiohttp

async def foo():
    async with aiohttp.ClientSession() as session:
        webhook = Webhook.from_url('url-here', session=session)
        await webhook.send('Hello World', username='Foo')

[slate swan]

im not using it with a discord bot

[brazen raft]

Then uh

Why are you asking here is my first thing to say

My second thing to note is

[slate swan]

..

[brazen raft]

!pypi webhooks

[unkempt canyon]

webhooks v0.4.2

Python + Webhooks mMade Easy

Released on <t:1400781470:D>.

[bright dirge]

TextChannel.webhooks() sounds like what im looking for, thanks

[brazen raft]

I have no idea how useful this is

[ivory falcon]

is there way to make the variable that i made in the event code change in the commands code? i keep getting "welcoming" is not accessed by pylance in the commands code

the event:

async def on_member_join(member):
    welcoming = "off"
    
    channel = client.get_channel(1138787209735045191)
    
    if welcoming == "off":
        print("welcoming is off.")
    elif welcoming == "on":
        await channel.send(f"welcome {member}")```
 
the command: 
 
```@tree.command(
    name="welcome",
    description="Enable welcoming for new user"
)
@app_commands.choices(
    active=[
        app_commands.Choice(name="on", value="on"),
        app_commands.Choice(name="off", value="off")
    ]
) 
async def welcome(interaction: discord.Interaction, active: app_commands.Choice[str], ):
    
    if active.value == "on":
        await interaction.response.send_message("test on")
        print("on")
        welcoming = "on"
    elif active.value == "off":
        await interaction.response.send_message("test off")
        print("off")
        welcoming = "off"```

[viscid hornet]

it says you cant join bytes to strings

[viscid hornet]

you can either:

1. use a database
2. use another external file
3. use a cog and change the message through a class attribute

[brazen raft]

Better use a database

Unless it's a one guild bot

[ivory falcon]

by the second one do you mean from file import variable

[slate swan]

it is a one guild bot

btw can i send json files?

[brazen raft]

Then a bot variable will be the best option

[viscid hornet]

no i mean like opening an external file like a json file and reading the contents

[viscid hornet]

[slate swan]

i mean through web hook

[brazen raft]

Wdym? Like:

with open("json_file.json", encoding="utf-8") as json_file:
    json_file_for_discord = discord.File(json_file)
    await ctx.send(file=json_file_for_discord)

?

[slate swan]

^

anyways ill try myself thank you

[brazen raft]

Sure just specify the right headers

[slate swan]

ok

[ivory falcon]

if possible can you explain how to do it 🫠

[viscid hornet]

well its pretty simple yk:

1. open the file
2. read it

[brazen raft]

What are you using this for btw? Maybe there's a more proper way to do it

[slate swan]

get stuff from an api and send to a discord webhook

[ivory falcon]

what do you mean by read it?? 😭

[viscid hornet]

me when open().read()

damn

[brazen raft]

Opening the file with encoding="utf-8" in conjunction with json.load

[brazen raft]

API of what?

Maybe somebody published a wrapper for it on PyPi already and you're reinventing the wheel

Oh you're just sending whatever to a Discord webhook

[slate swan]

no its a scraper

[warped cave]

@viscid hornet i got my code to work (im from yesterday with the images on a discord bot)

[brazen raft]

Have you checked the website is fine with you scraping their data

[viscid hornet]

👍🏽

[warped cave]

i sill get an error code but it works so xD

[viscid hornet]

how do you invent a wheel?

i see lots of projects already made

[brazen raft]

It's quite easy even when all you have to work with is a ruler and, crucially, a compass

[brazen raft]

What's the point

[warped cave]

i get thios error code but it does work

[young dagger]

Can someone provide an example of how to add a slash command for my Discord bot?

I've been using prefix commands the whole time and now I'm trying to get slash commands to work too

[golden portal]

discord.py?

[young dagger]

Yes

[golden portal]

1. the basic and concepts
2. the usage

[golden portal]

unrelated to discord api so

[velvet temple]

Anyone got a discord bot with a command like this?

I know this isn’t really a place to ask this but it’s so specific idk where else to ask

[golden portal]

discord ID is the epoch time

!d discord.Object.created_at

[unkempt canyon]

discord.Object.created\_at

property created_at```
Returns the snowflake’s creation time in UTC.

[golden portal]

then get the diff between 2 of the snowflake

[velvet temple]

Yeah ik how to make it but I don’t wanna go and make a discord bot just for this rn so I’m just looking for a bot with this command

I think pyQuantum has it

[golden portal]

just steal the source

[velvet temple]

Tysm

[golden portal]

welcome

[viscid hornet]

idk. just wanna make something new

smth unique and useful

[viscid hornet]

it wont send anything because the file you're attaching is unnammed

[viscid hornet]

wait no fucking way

i thought IDs were different

[golden portal]

tbh it's the easiest way to make IDs

[viscid hornet]

its also practically impossible to have two messages with the same ID

[warped cave]

It does send something, look the picture

This is what i ment, this is what i wanted to make so the code works but i get that error messages when i use the command. But it still sends what i want it to send like in the picture

[viscid hornet]

so it sends an attachment but still raises an error

[warped cave]

Yes

[viscid hornet]

you could catch it with a try except check

[warped cave]

It does what it needs to do, but it still sends this

[viscid hornet]

try:
    to send the message
except it didnt work:
    so continue```

[warped cave]

I have to copy pate that and put it at the end of the?

[quick gust]

thats just pseudocode, you need to implement it

[upbeat otter]

invite them to a server where your bot is added

like you want to send a message without running a command?

,

[upbeat otter]

what is error

yes you can dm bot invite links

[midnight oracle]

Okay, I'm gonna try

[rain hedge]

@bot.tree.command(name="ban",description="Bans the user from the server")
async def ban(interaction : discord.Interaction, member : discord.Member, reason : str):
    member.ban
    await member.send(reason)
    await interaction.response.send_message(f"Successfully banned {member} for {reason}", ephemeral=True)

the command does not ban the given user

anyone can help

[pale zenith]

discord already has a built-in ban slash command, but you need to await and call() it

[rain hedge]

How would I do that, ive forgotten most of my discord py knowledge and im not too familiar with slash commands

I got it to work

However

if the member cannot be dm'ed how can i make it so the bot says it instead of saying application failed?

[midnight oracle]

It's not an error in the Bot, as I said it worked just fine in the GitHub Codespace and my local machine, so the logs are empty, no error rises

The interaction is not taking a second a responder when the error raises, and nope, the defer doesn't worked :/

[dusk dagger]

A simple try and except statement

[dusk dagger]

After you defer you should send a follow up, not a second response

[viscid hornet]

does it?

what is it and how do you import it?

[dusk dagger]

there’s a native /ban command

It’s not within discord.py

It’s an actual Discord command

[viscid hornet]

oh wow, fr?

lemme test rq hold on

oh there is

[rain hedge]

How would I do this?

[unkempt canyon]

Error handling

A key part of the Python philosophy is to ask for forgiveness, not permission. This means that it's okay to write code that may produce an error, as long as you specify how that error should be handled. Code written this way is readable and resilient.

try:
    number = int(user_input)
except ValueError:
    print("failed to convert user_input to a number. setting number to 0.")
    number = 0

You should always specify the exception type if it is possible to do so, and your try block should be as short as possible. Attempting to handle broad categories of unexpected exceptions can silently hide serious problems.

try:
    number = int(user_input)
    item = some_list[number]
except:
    print("An exception was raised, but we have no idea if it was a ValueError or an IndexError.")

For more information about exception handling, see the official Python docs, or watch Corey Schafer's video on exception handling.

[vocal snow]

@rain hedge ^

[rain hedge]

Thanks

[midnight oracle]

I know, I was just testing with a defer, but that's not my error

[rain hedge]

I can't manage to incorporate it in to my code

Any help you can offer?

[vocal snow]

what are you stuck on?

what have you tried?

[rain hedge]

Im not to familiar with this so bare with me

[rain hedge]

i dont know where to put the try and except in the code

[vocal snow]

which line is raising the error?

[viscid hornet]

wrap it in wherever is causing (or could cause) errors

[viscid hornet]

are you putting it at the start?

whats the specific error?

[rain hedge]

the error im getting is "user cannot be messaged, or something like that"

i cant get the error since i cleared the terminal

accidentally

[viscid hornet]

that means you cant dm them, so you just have to wrap that line in a try except statement and then continue from there or let it pass through to the rest of the code

[rain hedge]

im doing that but everything comes up with a red line under

[midnight oracle]

Here, wait :b

[rain hedge]

ive done something wrong

[midnight oracle]

Here's the error

[rain hedge]

@bot.tree.command(name="ban",description="Bans the user from the server")
async def ban(interaction : discord.Interaction, member : discord.Member, reason : str):
    await member.ban(reason=reason)
try:
    await member.send(reason)
    await interaction.response.send_message(f"Successfully banned {member} for {reason}", ephemeral=True)
except:
    await interaction.response.send_message("User cannot be messaged", ephmeral=True)

[viscid hornet]

have the ban response sent outside of the try except statement

you arent responding quick enough

[rain hedge]

dont understand what you mean

[viscid hornet]

slash commands raise that error if you dont respond within 3 seconds, like a few others mentioned

[rain hedge]

like remove it from there

[viscid hornet]

if the user can't be DMed, that message wont be sent

the .response. message

[rain hedge]

okay

i removed it

[midnight oracle]

But the error raises before 3 seconds

[viscid hornet]

didnt say remove, i meant move it

[rain hedge]

yeah

[midnight oracle]

So, I have to defer all the interactions?

[viscid hornet]

code?

[rain hedge]

mb

[viscid hornet]

@quick gust i did it

[slate swan]

oh gosh

@viscid hornet dpy: ?tag nabc

[viscid hornet]

[viscid hornet]

also btw, a ban command already exists in discord UI

so you dont need to make a new one

[rain hedge]

I know, i want to build on my knowledge and i think making a successfull ban command will help

especially with this try and except stuff

[slate swan]

the exceptions should be documented

[viscid hornet]

||(make something different thats not a ban command)||
but we can continue

[slate swan]

!d discord.Member.send

[unkempt canyon]

discord.Member.send

await send(content=None, *, tts=False, embed=None, embeds=None, file=None, files=None, stickers=None, delete_after=None, nonce=None, allowed_mentions=None, reference=None, ...)```
This function is a [*coroutine*](https://docs.python.org/3/library/asyncio-task.html#coroutine).

Sends a message to the destination with the content given.

The content must be a type that can convert to a string through `str(content)`. If the content is set to `None` (the default), then the `embed` parameter must be provided.

To upload a single file, the `file` parameter should be used with a single [`File`](https://discordpy.readthedocs.io/en/latest/api.html#discord.File) object. To upload multiple files, the `files` parameter should be used with a [`list`](https://docs.python.org/3/library/stdtypes.html#list) of [`File`](https://discordpy.readthedocs.io/en/latest/api.html#discord.File) objects. **Specifying both parameters will lead to an exception**.

To upload a single embed, the `embed` parameter should be used with a single [`Embed`](https://discordpy.readthedocs.io/en/latest/api.html#discord.Embed) object. To upload multiple embeds, the `embeds` parameter should be used with a [`list`](https://docs.python.org/3/library/stdtypes.html#list) of [`Embed`](https://discordpy.readthedocs.io/en/latest/api.html#discord.Embed) objects. **Specifying both parameters will lead to an exception**.

[viscid hornet]

lmao bro thinks we're in dpy

[slate swan]

too used to it 😭

[viscid hornet]

i basically live here so i've grown accustomed to it

wdym?

[slate swan]

your bot cannot use other bots command/builtins

its a builtin command in discord

[rain hedge]

it means discord already has a slash command for a ban built in to every discord server

[slate swan]

the builtin command, no

You would have to implement your own

so there comes hierarchy role respect and permissions checks

[slate swan]

I meant implementing your own ban command if thats what you meant

since your bot isn't able to use builtin /ban command

[slate swan]

Your class Connect4Game doesn't have acquire attribute, except you meant asqlite.Pool.acquire()

[leaden olive]

i use mysqlp

[slate swan]

I don't really get it but no, your bot cannot use other bot's command

in your own bot, yeah

[slate swan]

then Pool of mysql if mysql has any

or Connection

if message from owner?

first you should use @bot.command() for this one
then for that command use check @commands.has_guild_permissions()

[viscid hornet]

why are we both making connect four 😭

[viscid hornet]

that scared me because thats literally my class name

[leaden olive]

HAHAHAHA

[slate swan]

[viscid hornet]

@leaden olive 😭

[viscid hornet]

!d discord.Client.guild_permissions

[leaden olive]

[unkempt canyon]

Not gonna happen.

No documentation found for the requested symbol.

[slate swan]

nvm

its commands

!d discord.ext.commands.has_guild_permissions

[unkempt canyon]

discord.ext.commands.has\_guild\_permissions

@discord.ext.commands.has_guild_permissions(**perms)```
Similar to [`has_permissions()`](https://discordpy.readthedocs.io/en/latest/ext/commands/api.html#discord.ext.commands.has_permissions), but operates on guild wide permissions instead of the current channel permissions.

If this check is called in a DM context, it will raise an exception, [`NoPrivateMessage`](https://discordpy.readthedocs.io/en/latest/ext/commands/api.html#discord.ext.commands.NoPrivateMessage).

New in version 1.3.

[viscid hornet]

im gonna fight you

[slate swan]

🔪

[viscid hornet]

this stinks. how do you get the bots member obj

[slate swan]

@wide plaza after implementing that check in the logic of the ban command you will also need to provide checks for the role hierarchy like for example

if author's role is above target's role
if bot's role is above target's role

if the target is not the author

if bot has ban permissions

for last one there is also a decorator

!d discord.ext.commands.bot_has_guild_permissions

[unkempt canyon]

discord.ext.commands.bot\_has\_guild\_permissions

@discord.ext.commands.bot_has_guild_permissions(**perms)```
Similar to [`has_guild_permissions()`](https://discordpy.readthedocs.io/en/latest/ext/commands/api.html#discord.ext.commands.has_guild_permissions), but checks the bot members guild permissions.

New in version 1.3.

[viscid hornet]

no

why do you hate commands?? they're literally miles easier to learn and work with than on_message() listeners

[slate swan]

why would the author ban themselves

my bad

I meant is the author

[quick gust]

Ayyy 💀💀

[viscid hornet]

[upbeat otter]

he try make discord python 😭(jk)

[shrewd apex]

rip

[viscid hornet]

why command no deco on message i hate it (jk)

[upbeat otter]

I've told him that a lot. but he wants to make discord bot 😭

[upbeat otter]

[upbeat otter]

wtf 😭did you just say 5

[viscid hornet]

was it paired with skibidi toilet or satisfying slime videos? 😭

[shrewd apex]

might wanna take a few duolingo classes while youre at it too ;-;

[upbeat otter]

skibidi toilet is the best show

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.

[viscid hornet]

wheres the error on? what line?

[iron cosmos]

there is no error in the console, the assignment of roles via the selcet menu does not work

[viscid hornet]

ok. how does it not work? is it when you select a role, it isnt applied? take me through the steps and where you think the error would be

since this bot is yours, i dont know how this code would perform, so you'll need to fill me in on this stuff

[shrewd apex]

why are u not using a role select menu?

[iron cosmos]

ok wait 1sec

[shrewd apex]

chosen_roles = [option.value for option in self.values] i am 90% sure this will actually give u an array of role ids

[quick gust]

Can you select which roles you want to have in the menu?

[shrewd apex]

member_roles = [discord.utils.get(interaction.guild.roles, id=roles[role]) for role in chosen_roles if role in roles]
so here for role in chosen_roles would iterate over roles ids and if role in roles will just become false since your keys are strings

[shrewd apex]

yeah iirc

[quick gust]

Oh nice

[viscid hornet]

shouldnt it be role.name instead?

[shrewd apex]

hmm no not able to find any option for specifying roles for role selects there is a channel_type lemme look up the discord docs

[shrewd apex]

if you already have the ids directly as values why bother with the names

[iron cosmos]

First, use !uprank MENTION to open a Select menu. If you have the role 1226501882898288641 you will see the Downrank and Uprank roles in the menu. If you have the role 1226174787962011658 you will see Verified and Rank. If you have 1226501882898288641 and 1226174787962011658 you will see all four roles. If you have none of the roles you will see nothing. That works so far. The roles you choose should be given to the person you mentioned. This interaction failed. I think the problem is that the bot doesn't recognize what you select in the selcet menu.

[shrewd apex]

yeah lol role select menu is auto populated by discord

no filters or options allowed

[quick gust]

yeah I figured, if they allowed choosing; that'd be cool

[shrewd apex]

kind of weird ig they allow channel types but not id based filtering

[iron cosmos]

oh ok, then I could have tried that for a long time

[viscid hornet]

if its raising "This interaction failed" then you probably havent given a .response. to it

[shrewd apex]

or an error happened view errors arent explicitly printed out unless u setup proper logging using the on_error handlers

[viscid hornet]

no, thats not what commands are

[leaden olive]

!paste

Still trying to fix that

[grand kettle]

First, if you don’t specify a command name in the arguments, it will use the function name

[viscid hornet]

you probably want “self.pool.acquire()”

[grand kettle]

second, you’re confusing on_message with commands

[viscid hornet]

“self.acquire()” points to a function in the class called “acquire”

[viscid hornet]

yeah you want “.pool.acquire()”

idk how you didnt spot that

[leaden olive]

where hahah

[viscid hornet]

bro what 😭🙏🏽

also you dont have to create a cursor. the connection is automatically also a cursor

show me where you create the bot.pool attribute

[viscid hornet]

wait hold on. are you subclassing Pool? thats the only way i can think you’re getting this error

and if so, you shouldnt be

[viscid hornet]

idk what you’re asking but if you want a db go for sqlite. sqlite3 is a stdlib and to view sql folders, use: https://sqlitebrowser.org

[ivory falcon]

i cant create a normal prefix command with @bot.command() i keep getting AttributeError: 'Client' object has no attribute 'command'

intents.message_content = True
 
bot = discord.Client(command_prefix="?", intents=intents, status=discord.Status.idle)
tree = app_commands.CommandTree(bot)```

[brazen raft]

That's because discord.Clients aren't bots and have no concept of commands

If you would have used discord.ext.commands.Bot, the error would go away and the bot would actually be initialized with its own command tree

[ivory falcon]

idk if you meant this by that but when i do that i keep getting this error

tree = app_commands.CommandTree(bot)```
 
error: 
 
```Traceback (most recent call last):

discord.errors.ClientException: This client already has an associated command tree.```

[viscid hornet]

you’re trying to make a new command tree when one already exists by default

[fringe prairie]

Because the bot class already has a command tree initialised to it (as the above person said) you don't need to give it another one (it's telling you that). If you ever create a custom command tree class, you can make it use that instead by specifying it with tree_cls= iirc

[viscid hornet]

wait are they not supposed to have normal commands? i swear an example bot by rapptz used Client and had commands

well this is new

what the fuck is the point of Client then 😭🙏🏽

[obsidian hill]

How to dm the sender when message is sent?

[brazen raft]

Just event handling, webhooks, messing with other parts of Discord API, just not specifically about a bot user or commands

[brazen raft]

send exists for users and members if you want to dm them

[obsidian hill]

so just member.send and define member as a memberID?

[brazen raft]

In what form do you have the sender's message

Or better yet the sender

Members aren't IDs, they're objects

[obsidian hill]

trying toasync def on_message(message): if message.content.startswith('$gen'): send dm

[brazen raft]

If this is supposed to be a bot, you can use the bot class and save yourself a big chain of elif statements

But anyway message.author.send(…) in this case

[viscid hornet]

no like i meant using it for a bot. i get that its the core but its like using a cpu and a usb c cable and calling it a pc, is it not?

[viscid hornet]

use a command

yeah in a nutshell

wait how is solstice here 😭

[fast osprey]

Clients are just a barebones implementation of the discord gateway bot API. They take in the events that are published, with the models that discord publishes, and nothing more. Anything beyond that is essentially just random stuff that whatever library person feels is useful (commands.Bot)

[obsidian hill]

Idk how to do /commands

[viscid hornet]

learn then. @pale zenith can you pretty please get me a link for slash commands

i got washing to do

[pale zenith]

https://about.abstractumbra.dev/dpy

[brazen raft]

Less overhead ¯_(ツ)_/¯

[viscid hornet]

thanks sm for the rundown

[pale zenith]

Mfw i'm a bot

[brazen raft]

It's inferior

[viscid hornet]

“jamie pull up that picture of me fighting a monster energy drink”

[fast osprey]

🤌 .docs slash

[obsidian hill]

ima get my bot to work first then ill switch 😂

[viscid hornet]

relatable

[obsidian hill]

So I run my bot on my pc and it works just fine, so I upload it to my vm and run the cmd and get this bs 😭

video_url = f"http:/vm ip:5000/video/{random_video}"
await message.author.send('Your video link can be found [here]({video_url})')``` So If I define this....

why the FAWK am I getting sent this

[viscid hornet]

not an f string

[obsidian hill]

fuck

[viscid hornet]

mf forgot the f on the single quotes string

[obsidian hill]

Im actually so dumb

[obsidian hill]

Im learning okay 😭

[viscid hornet]

me when

[viscid hornet]

its alr it happens. recently i was working on a relatively simple project for school

spent, and i shit you not, 6 hours debugging the entire thing (overexaggerating w the 10 by accident)

guess what the error was

[obsidian hill]

Alr so now it sent the link but since the video title has spaces its bugging out, how can I replace spaces with like + or smth?

[obsidian hill]

Damn 😂

[viscid hornet]

misspelled variable name ☠️

[spice warren]

!d g str.replace

[unkempt canyon]

str.replace

str.replace(old, new[, count])```
Return a copy of the string with all occurrences of substring *old* replaced by *new*. If the optional argument *count* is given, only the first *count* occurrences are replaced.

[viscid hornet]

mf got there before me

what does the g mean

[spice warren]

I was informed you're helping badly so I'm here to babysit

[viscid hornet]

also hi link

[viscid hornet]

by who 😭

[viscid hornet]

[spice warren]

The bot is open source, there is a help command, there are bot channels, use your initiative

[short tinsel]

dw

[viscid hornet]

stop mocking me 😭🙏🏽
too many eyes

[viscid hornet]

help command for docs doesnt tell me anything tho. and theres way too many files for my tiny ass phone screen to go through. also what would i even look for in help channels?

wait does the g mean generic or general or smth

[short tinsel]

looks like general

[viscid hornet]

thats my only logical guess

[viscid hornet]

why has the dpy crew suddenly spawned in here ☠️

[short tinsel]

dw

[viscid hornet]

seal team six out for my ass 🙏🏽

[spice warren]

Well, you're giving misinformation to the newbies in here, we're here to both educate you and them

[wanton current]

who is dpy

[viscid hornet]

oh. what misinformation did i give? apologies for misleading people btw

[timber dragon]

Sounds like a name of a fish idk

[viscid hornet]

you 🫵🏽

[viscid hornet]

[viscid hornet]

link, what misinfo did i give?

i dont get where i went wrong

wrong recommendation? wrong solution? wrong roadmap? what did i do wrong??

??

[spice warren]

I'm trying to read your message history in here to give an outline and advice but man do you send some amount of nonsense or offtopic messages in here, it's absurd just how much offtopic you speak, or the volume of messages for 1 thing lol, gimme a bit to collate this

[viscid hornet]

i do yap a lot ngl. i should stop but it feels so homey here. i’ll take your advice tho. thanks link

also do ping me when you wanna talk because im speaking w some other people on different social media

[obsidian hill]

how do I test when a message is sent if its a DM?

[timber dragon]

message.guild will be None in that case

[obsidian hill]

yea

how do I send msg to a specified channel id?

channel.send where channel is defined as id?

[wanton current]

https://discordpy.readthedocs.io/en/stable/faq.html#how-do-i-send-a-message-to-a-specific-channel

[viscid hornet]

will do you just have a bunch of links for dpy docs saved on your hard drive

[wanton current]

no i just remember

[viscid hornet]

damn thats a pretty big memory

[obsidian hill]

selfbot?! 🤨

jp

[wanton current]

what

[sick birch]

its more muscle memory than anything

i've used discord.py enough that i can find pretty much anything easily

fetch doesnt give None btw

[turbid condor]

he was using get

[slate swan]

One message removed from a suspended account.

[turbid condor]

well then the issue was that your send_embed function is being called before the bot loads its cache

for using get_channel and similar function the cache needs to be loaded first

[turbid condor]

as for doesn't run can u elaborate a bit

like it's doing nothing?

[turbid condor]

using a image manipulation library

u can create a collage and then upload it

[golden portal]

you can send different embed with different images, discord will combine them as long as your embed url is set the same, something like this ```py
embed = discord.Embed(title="Some Images", url="https://www.google.com/")
embeds = [
embed.set_image(url="img_one.png"),
embed.copy().set_image(url="img_two.png")
embed.copy().set_image(url="img_three.png")
embed.copy().set_image(url="img_four.png")
]
await channel.send(embeds=embeds)

embed.copy allows you to recreate a new instance with the exact attribute set. Note that it only supports up to 4 images

[golden portal]

welcome

[viscid hornet]

couldnt you have used the files kwarg in .send() and have a list of file objects instead?

[golden portal]

for local image embed yes

i was showing in general on how to do it with external url

[viscid hornet]

ah ok. i see

thats pretty handy. i might try that sometime

[obsidian hill]

Anyone know how I can @ mention someone without pinging them??? Ik its possible I just dont know how, I want to like show the @obsidian hill blue thing without actually pinging the user

[quick gust]

no you can't... unless u mention them inside an embed

[naive briar]

Finally, inclusive asker

[hushed galleon]

you can, if you set allowed_mentions= in send() appropriately

!d discord.AllowedMentions

[unkempt canyon]

discord.AllowedMentions

class discord.AllowedMentions(*, everyone=True, users=True, roles=True, replied_user=True)```
A class that represents what mentions are allowed in a message.

This class can be set during [`Client`](https://discordpy.readthedocs.io/en/latest/api.html#discord.Client) initialisation to apply to every message sent. It can also be applied on a per message basis via [`abc.Messageable.send()`](https://discordpy.readthedocs.io/en/latest/api.html#discord.abc.Messageable.send) for more fine-grained control.

[hushed galleon]

there's also silent=True if you want a red bubble to pop up without any sound/push notification

[snow coral]

whys this repeating twice, i only have one instance open https://paste.pythondiscord.com/L7QA

[obsidian hill]

yes, Thats what Im trynna do

[quick gust]

alright then it shouldn't ping them

@hushed galleon yk what could be causing this? ive noticed it ever since I started running a webhook server for topgg

[sick birch]

looks like top.gg is sending you a bad HTTP payload

[quick gust]

its been happening too much 😔 any way I can suppress the errors without having to mess with the internals?

[sick birch]

don't think so, as http parsing goes really deep into the core

you could probably suppress it top level though

[quick gust]

dang

[quick gust]

oh, mind explaining just the procedure?

[sick birch]

try/except in the route handler essentially

unless this error gets raised even before that

[quick gust]

I'm using topggpy so I could try handling that in their route handler

I'll try and get back 👍

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

Sends a message to the destination with the content given.

The content must be a type that can convert to a string through `str(content)`. If the content is set to `None` (the default), then the `embed` parameter must be provided.

To upload a single file, the `file` parameter should be used with a single [`File`](https://discordpy.readthedocs.io/en/latest/api.html#discord.File) object. To upload multiple files, the `files` parameter should be used with a [`list`](https://docs.python.org/3/library/stdtypes.html#list) of [`File`](https://discordpy.readthedocs.io/en/latest/api.html#discord.File) objects. **Specifying both parameters will lead to an exception**.

To upload a single embed, the `embed` parameter should be used with a single [`Embed`](https://discordpy.readthedocs.io/en/latest/api.html#discord.Embed) object. To upload multiple embeds, the `embeds` parameter should be used with a [`list`](https://docs.python.org/3/library/stdtypes.html#list) of [`Embed`](https://discordpy.readthedocs.io/en/latest/api.html#discord.Embed) objects. **Specifying both parameters will lead to an exception**.

An extension is a python module that contains commands, cogs, or listeners.

An extension must have a global function, `setup` defined as the entry point on what to do when the extension is loaded. This entry point must have a single argument, the `bot`.

replace the loading extension with printing the filename and tell me what comes up

filename[-3] is indexing, not slicing.

how'd i not spot that 😭

leo always comes in at the best times

hes like jesus but italian i think

filename[:-3] is what you want. "Grab until the 3rd last character"

the cogs are now loaded i guess but nothing seems to be happening

explain "nothing happening"

isnt the bot supposed to say hello back to me when i say hello or on_ready event its supposed to print "the cog is ready"

[viscid hornet]

did you define ._last_member as None?

and i dont see why it doesnt send. are you doing <prefix>hello?

[ivory falcon]

yes

[viscid hornet]

ie. ?hello, !hello, ;hello, .hello, etc

[ivory falcon]

i didnt know i had to use prefix 🤯

it works now

[viscid hornet]

why do you not just set pool to bot.pool instead of making it an arg?

either way, where are you defining the pool in your main file

[quick gust]

they actually have set it to bot.pool, but theyre just not using it. instead going the long and unnecessary route by passing bot.pool and then using self.pool 💀

[quick gust]

[vapid parcel]

Can you get who owns a discord bot, by just the bots User id?

[slate swan]

@viscid hornet this command would solve all the problems in the discord.py world :kekw:

[shrewd apex]

just make a smart sync

[quick gust]

that emoji name @vapid parcel 💀

[slate swan]

😔

[vapid parcel]

thats the point 😭

Now answer this QUESTION!!!

Can you get who owns a discord bot, by just the bots User id?

I don't think public can, but I am sure someone can, but I could be wrong

[vocal plover]

afaik no

[shrewd apex]

should be possible

hmm

[slate swan]

doubt

[vocal plover]

iirc it used to say when adding it, but now just refers to "the app's developer"

[vapid parcel]

Dammnnnnn

L discord

[vocal plover]

and you can only even get to that stage if it's public

[vapid parcel]

Yeah ik, but, discord should make that public

because, then you could see who owns certain bots

but then it could be used for attacking too

so there is a Plus n a Negative to it

[shrewd apex]

i mean it would be listed on stuff like top gg or smn if the owner really wanted to make it public

[vocal plover]

what's the positive? if devs want people to find them they can make that info accessible

[vapid parcel]

Prolly be used more for attacking than anything, I was only asking to find the owner of this bot to see if he would continue the bot, thats why I was asking

[vocal plover]

if they dont then people shouldn't be able to

[vapid parcel]

alr, goodbye ❤️

[vocal plover]

lol are you seriously reacting to messages of people having a discussion with a clown whose emoji name contains a racial slur

[quick gust]

:/

[vapid parcel]

I never made the emoji

its from a big big server

let me think of the name

Its from this server

[vocal plover]

for the longest time we weren't allowed reactions in this channel because people abused them, and now idiots like you come in with the apparent intent of getting the permission removed again

[vapid parcel]

[tight obsidian]

Hello @vapid parcel please don't use emojis with slurs in the name

[quick gust]

bro summoned the mod

[vapid parcel]

idc for the name, i just like the emoji

[quick gust]

get the gif of the emoji, add it to a priv server, with a friendlier name

[vocal plover]

I'd argue the content of the emoji is equally valid as a moderation concern for a help channel

[vapid parcel]

To much work ngl 😭

[vocal plover]

insinuating people are clowns for having an opinion on privacy is... unhelpful

[tight obsidian]

I have reduced motion on, so it doesn't even animate until I hover on it. The 🤡 is objectively better

[vapid parcel]

You assuming that I am insulting or like trying to be rude? is wild, i was just doing it for the funny, personally I like the emoji, tbh I didn't even know the name of the emoji if I am being honest, all I type in is goofy to find it

i never read the emoji names

[leaden olive]

so change what to what?

[quick gust]

just show me where you're setting the bot pool first

[quick gust]

Ah

[vapid parcel]

nuh uh

[leaden olive]

here

[quick gust]

I'd prefer you share the code (after removing the credential)

[vapid parcel]

class Status(commands.Cog):
    def __init__(self, bot):
        self.bot = bot
        self.loop = asyncio.get_event_loop()
        self.pool = None
        self.update_status_task = self.loop.create_task(self.update_status())

    async def create_pool(self):
        try:
            self.pool = await aiomysql.create_pool(
                host='',
                user='',
                password='',
                db='',
                loop=self.loop)
        except Exception as e:
            print(f"Failed to create pool: {e}")```

This is what I use for myself, which works perfectly fine

But I have no clue what you are doing, so can't really help 😭

[vapid parcel]

I use this for a status on a website for my bot. But I am going to assume you are using it to connect to the db for your whole bot..?

any news?

[tacit aspen]

guys i reset my secret client key and my bot doesnt work anymore

how can i fix this

[frank sleet]

can you give an example? lets say the file is rickroll.mp3

[turbid condor]

to send a local file you will first need to wrap it in discord.File() object and then send it using file parameter of send

!d discord.File

[unkempt canyon]

discord.File

class discord.File(fp, filename=None, *, spoiler=..., description=None)```
A parameter object used for [`abc.Messageable.send()`](https://discordpy.readthedocs.io/en/latest/api.html#discord.abc.Messageable.send) for sending file objects.

Note

File objects are single use and are not meant to be reused in multiple [`abc.Messageable.send()`](https://discordpy.readthedocs.io/en/latest/api.html#discord.abc.Messageable.send)s.

[turbid condor]

# Get the file path
file_path = os.path.join("example.mp3")
# Wrap it in a File Object
file = discord.File(file_path, "Whatever.mp3")

# Now send it
await member.send(file = file) # member is your discord.Member object

[ivory falcon]

is there a reason why "entered" variable keeps returning as none even though something is entered through the form modal

@bot.tree.command(
    name="data_test"    
) 
async def data(interaction: discord.Interaction):
    entered = await interaction.response.send_modal(send_data())
    print(f"{entered}")
    
    color = entered
    user = interaction.user.id
    ref = db.reference(f"/")
    ref.update({
        
        user: {
            
            "color" : str(color)
        
        }
    
    })```

[golden portal]

your send_data modal would hold your textinput value, happens after submitting the form, interaction.response.send_modal method doesnt return anything. just move your database logic inside on_submit method of send_data, such as ```py
class SendData(discord.ui.Modal):
color = discord.ui.TextInput(label="Color")
async def on_submit(self, interaction: discord.Interaction):
color_value_set = self.color.value # get color value
# do db logic here

in your slash command, just use them as ```py
await interaction.response.send_modal(SendData())

[ivory falcon]

am i supposed to do that or am i doing it wrong

[golden portal]

you're doing it wrong, on_submit is apart of your send_data class, its a method of it. It is triggered when the user click 'submit' on the modal

[potent light]

Is there a way to have more than 5 buttons with Discord.py only? send() and edit() don't seem to have components= and view only handles 5 buttons and there's apparently no way to add two views to a message.

[shrewd apex]

u can have 25 buttons

using discord.py only upto 5 buttons per row

[potent light]

How to add multiple rows?

[shrewd apex]

just add the buttons how you normally would based on the order u added it the buttons will automatically formatted

!d discord.ui.button

[unkempt canyon]

discord.ui.button

@discord.ui.button(*, label=None, custom_id=None, disabled=False, style=<ButtonStyle.secondary: 2>, emoji=None, row=None)```
A decorator that attaches a button to a component.

The function being decorated should have three parameters, `self` representing the [`discord.ui.View`](https://discordpy.readthedocs.io/en/latest/interactions/api.html#discord.ui.View), the [`discord.Interaction`](https://discordpy.readthedocs.io/en/latest/interactions/api.html#discord.Interaction) you receive and the [`discord.ui.Button`](https://discordpy.readthedocs.io/en/latest/interactions/api.html#discord.ui.Button) being pressed.

Note

Buttons with a URL cannot be created with this function. Consider creating a [`Button`](https://discordpy.readthedocs.io/en/latest/interactions/api.html#discord.ui.Button) manually instead. This is because buttons with a URL do not have a callback associated with them since Discord does not do any processing with it.

[shrewd apex]

if u want to define which row it will go in use the row property or argument

[potent light]

Normally I would add it with a view, something like this:

view = View()
view.add_item(Button(label="Asher"))

[shrewd apex]

works now add all the buttons u want like that

and just send the view it should show all the buttons u have added

!d discord.ui.Button

[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.

[shrewd apex]

also takes in a row= similar to how label= u have added

[potent light]

@shrewd apex it worked. The issue was related to not mentioning row=.

Thanks man.

[shrewd apex]

👍

not defining row shouldn't affect anything but no harm in doing so ig

[ivory falcon]

but how is it wrong if its submitting

if its possible can you explain what should i do 😭

[quick gust]

is it doing the functions inside on_submit?

the answer is going to be no

what you need to do is copy the entire on_submit function and put it inside your send_data class

you'll also need to add self to the parameter and access the "entered" value however discord allows you to

[golden portal]

i already did explain it, the best thing you can do right now is copy the example and see how it works, it's a working example with a solution pointing to what you're trying to do

[obsidian hill]

How do I test / read a users status when it’s updated or just check it every mins

[golden portal]

use the on_presence_update event

!d discord.on_presence_update

[unkempt canyon]

discord.on\_presence\_update

discord.on_presence_update(before, after)```
Called when a [`Member`](https://discordpy.readthedocs.io/en/latest/api.html#discord.Member) updates their presence.

This is called when one or more of the following things change:

• status

• activity

This requires [`Intents.presences`](https://discordpy.readthedocs.io/en/latest/api.html#discord.Intents.presences) and [`Intents.members`](https://discordpy.readthedocs.io/en/latest/api.html#discord.Intents.members) to be enabled...

[rain hedge]

How can I make a bot check if a role has been given to somebody?

[spice warren]

You can check if the role is within their roles already:
if Role in Member.roles:

!d g discord.Member.roles

[unkempt canyon]

discord.Member.roles

property roles```
A [`list`](https://docs.python.org/3/library/stdtypes.html#list) of [`Role`](https://discordpy.readthedocs.io/en/latest/api.html#discord.Role) that the member belongs to. Note that the first element of this list is always the default [‘@everyone](mailto:'%40everyone)’ role.

These roles are sorted by their position in the role hierarchy.

[timber dragon]

Member.get_role(id) is not None works too

[slate swan]

.

[cloud dawn]

Would also be false if it isn't cached

[timber dragon]

yup

so will Member.roles

[cloud dawn]

Yep, long live discord.py caching.

[abstract granite]

@viscid hornet plis help me with cogs

[quick gust]

just ask

[rain hedge]

@bot.tree.command(name="check")
async def check(interaction : discord.Interaction):
    staffrole = interaction.guild.get_role(1155546749117669376)
    if staffrole in Member.roles:
        print("Assigned Team")

what did i do wrong?

[spice warren]

Well Member here is undefined. I used it as a placeholder for an existing Member object, maybe such as interaction.user in your case

[rain hedge]

I need it to scan for any member in the guild and check if they have staffrole

[slate swan]

If I would try to use bot's get_channel function and it would return None and after that use fetch_channel coro and it would return a channel, would it be added to the cache so it works the next time with get_channel or would I have to store the fetched channel in my own cache?

(yes thats alot of woulds)

[fast osprey]

You can't directly insert things into cache. Channels you have permission to should be cached in the first place, so it's probably worth sussing out why that is

[viscid hornet]

🗣️ 🗣️

[viscid hornet]

i thought you used postgres. how come you're using mysql?

[viscid hornet]

psst, your on_submit() should, like the other person said, be a part of your send_data class, but it also takes self and interaction as arguments

[viscid hornet]

whats your issue

[snow coral]

yeah

its only that command though

[viscid hornet]

mf replied in 2 to 3 business days

[stuck hearth]

how do i make slash commands for dms

[dusk dagger]

register them globally

[stuck hearth]

hows that, show an example please

[dusk dagger]

what library are you using?

[stuck hearth]

discord.py

[dusk dagger]

So you would need to sync the commands globally, it’s recommended to use a prefix command for syncing and I’d recommend using this one https://about.abstractumbra.dev/discord.py/2023/01/29/sync-command-example.html

[stuck hearth]

ok thank you

[dusk dagger]

You should also understand the concept of what syncing is and when to sync and you can find information about that on the hyperlink in that link

[stuck hearth]

im intermediate in discord.py but i never made slash commands, but thank you

[void mauve]

Im trying to create a forum post using discord.py library, but it doesnt create any nor it does throw any errors. What might the issue be?

    async def _create_products(self, channel: discord.ForumChannel):
        for product in self.data['products']:
            try:
                print(product)
                product_utils = self.ProductModeUtils(product)

                print(channel, channel.id)
                
                product_thread = await channel.create_thread(
                    name=product['label'], auto_archive_duration=10080,
                    embed=discord.Embed(
                        title=product_utils.title,
                        description=product_utils.description
                    )
                )

            except discord.HTTPException as e:
                print(f"An error occurred: {e}")

p.s. channel object is passed correctly as well as self.data json

[fast osprey]

You're excepting a specific type, is it possible you're getting some other uncaught exception that you aren't logging?

[void mauve]

i've tried just catch general exceptions except Exception as e and it didnt show anything as well

[fast osprey]

Are you getting either of those prints?

[void mauve]

yes, both of them

all of the data passed is correct

[fast osprey]

Presumably just one of each?

or are you getting several

[void mauve]

one of each, like the print statements supposed to do

{'label': 'test-product', 'description': 'This is a long description of test product', 'price': 1500.0, 'curr
ency': 'USD'}
en 1224700856176476161

[fast osprey]

And if you pass in multiple products, do you only get those 2 prints or do you get 2N?

[void mauve]

multiple prints as expected

I just sticked to one item in the list, no point in setting multiple

[fast osprey]

Well if you pass in multiple, that would narrow down if a) it is going through all and discord thinks it's making them or b) you're erroring on trying to make the first one and not seeing the error

[burnt iris]

Hello, which library can I use so I can add buttons and that?

[wanton current]

what library are you using?

[fast osprey]

Pretty much all of the major libraries support them at this point

[burnt iris]

I try to download the
discord-components and this appears to me (I have python 3.12.2) and this appears to me:

ERROR: Could not find a version that satisfies the requirement discord-components (from versions: none)
ERROR: No matching distribution found for discord-components

[burnt iris]

discord-components

[fast osprey]

Well that's not a library that exists on pypi at least

discord-component is, though it hasn't been updated in over a year so

[burnt iris]

So which library for adding buttons can I use? the best known or a good one pls

[fast osprey]

It's a very opinionated question lol

[wanton current]

discord.py is the most popular one

[burnt iris]

by, xd

[burnt iris]

I have downloaded discord py, does it allow me to add buttons?

[wanton current]

Yeah, discord.py supports buttons

[burnt iris]

oh look, I'll try, thanks

[wanton current]

there's examples in the discord.py github repository including button examples

[vapid parcel]

I use mysql for my website and postgres for my bot.

This requires [`Intents.presences`](https://discordpy.readthedocs.io/en/latest/api.html#discord.Intents.presences) and [`Intents.members`](https://discordpy.readthedocs.io/en/latest/api.html#discord.Intents.members) to be enabled...

[upbeat otter]

both the after and before parameters will return Member objects
You can do something like

if before.status == after.status:
   print("status not changed ")```

[turbid condor]

they are fields

[fierce ridge]

i got

[turbid condor]

!d discord.Embed.add_field

[unkempt canyon]

discord.Embed.add\_field

add_field(*, name, value, inline=True)```
Adds a field to the embed object.

This function returns the class instance to allow for fluent-style chaining. Can only be up to 25 fields.

[fierce ridge]

i got it

how to menmtion user

and get his pfp?

[turbid condor]

!d discord.Member.mention

[unkempt canyon]

discord.Member.mention

property mention```
Returns a string that allows you to mention the member.

[fierce ridge]

so like this

embed.add_field(name="Vouch:", value=discord.Member.mention, inline=False)

[turbid condor]

!d discord.Member.display_avatar

[unkempt canyon]

discord.Member.display\_avatar

property display_avatar```
Returns the member’s display avatar.

For regular members this is just their avatar, but if they have a guild specific avatar then that is returned instead.

New in version 2.0.

[turbid condor]

yes

[fierce ridge]

async def vouch(ctx,stars,user,description,member: discord.member):

did you just reveal your token

oh nvm that's cut down

[turbid condor]

almost revealed it

[upbeat otter]

Btw how do you get the active developer badge

I'm too lazy to search

[turbid condor]

create a file called requirements.txt and put your required libraries in there like ```py
discord.py
requests
cv2
... # and so on

after that in the terminal run ``py -m pip install -U -r requirements.txt``

that's the simplest method I can think of

no

not using it is ez

They're diff objects, not members.

!d discord.AuditLogEntry.before

!d discord.AuditLogDiff

[unkempt canyon]

discord.AuditLogDiff

class discord.AuditLogDiff```
Represents an audit log “change” object. A change object has dynamic attributes that depend on the type of action being done. Certain actions map to certain attributes being set.

Note that accessing an attribute that does not match the specified action will lead to an attribute error.

To get a list of attributes that have been set, you can iterate over them. To see a list of all possible attributes that could be set based on the action being done, check the documentation for [`AuditLogAction`](https://discordpy.readthedocs.io/en/latest/api.html#discord.AuditLogAction), otherwise check the documentation below for all attributes that are possible.

iter(diff) Returns an iterator over (attribute, value) tuple of this diff.

guys pls help

@discord.app_commands.command(name="clear", description="clear messages")

async def clear(self, interaction, amount: int):

    await interaction.response.send_message(f"{amount} messages cleared", ephermeral=True)

[copper flume]

I just want to check if they got unmuted how do I check?

[autumn sierra]

i am trying to make slash cmd for clear messages
but it doesnt seem to work
anyone care to help pls ?

[upbeat otter]

Sure. what issue are you facing?

[autumn sierra]

bot not responding

i got no red flaggd errors too

[upbeat otter]

there must be some traceback in your terminal?

[autumn sierra]

but it just doesnt work
i think some part of the code is wong
but am not able to figure it out

[upbeat otter]

@autumn sierra

[autumn sierra]

wht does that mean ?

my terminal shows nothing

just the path

did u check the code ?

is there any error in hat?

@upbeat otter

[upbeat otter]

do you have an error handler?

[upbeat otter]

gimme a moment

[autumn sierra]

nop
aftr sorting this issue i was abt to create one

[upbeat otter]

I see. do you have the permissions to run this command?

[autumn sierra]

am the admin

lol

[upbeat otter]

oh there's a typo

[autumn sierra]

whr

[upbeat otter]

it should be ephemeral

in the send

[autumn sierra]

lemme re run

dudeeee
ur the best

got it cleared
tysmmmm

@upbeat otter

gonna work on error handling

[upbeat otter]

yessir

also you should defer the response

[autumn sierra]

what does that mean ?

[upbeat otter]

Like after 3 seconds, the interaction times out and if you want to send a message after 3 seconds a slash command is run you won't be able to do that. defering a response beforehand and you can then edit that message

await interaction.response.defer(ephemeral=True)
#super complex processing
await interaction.edit_original_response(content='Cleared messages')```

[shrewd apex]

usually just network latency be like 😔

[upbeat otter]

yeah that too is a major factor

[autumn sierra]

cud u explain the purpose in simpler terms perhaps ?

as of now my clear function works fine
so i dont get it
thats y

[upbeat otter]

for example
I run a command that gives me weather information
Now the bot has to fetch the data from another API. Now all this will probably take a lot of time right? Let's say this all takes 5 seconds.

Now the issue with discord Interactions is that whenever you run a slash command. the bot has to return a response within 3 seconds or otherwise this interaction will be lost and there will be no response.

As the weather command took 5 seconds to process, it will never be able to return a response just in time. we use defer to prevent this

[autumn sierra]

wonderful
very well explained my maan
urcool

how do i implement defer thingy

so i use defer thingy for all of my slash ?

also aftr i use defer thingy the bot has unlimited time ?

to fetch data?

@upbeat otter

[shrewd apex]

15 mins

[autumn sierra]

dang

[autumn sierra]

how do i set it up?

[shrewd apex]

.

await interaction.response.defer(ephemeral=True)

[autumn sierra]

y ephemeral here ?

[upbeat otter]

because defer just sends an initial response so this determines whether following messages will be ephemeral not

[autumn sierra]

so i put tru for whtvr i want and false if i dont whatephemeral ?

also i add this after each slash cmd or just once at the end ??

@upbeat otter

[shrewd apex]

once at start

[pale zenith]

You need to check before and after's .timed_out_until attribute of Optional[datetime.datetime], and do the appropriate date math to determine if it has expired (in case it is populated). - similar to what the is_timed_out().

[autumn sierra]

so this will apply to all of my commands ?

[shrewd apex]

no once at start of each command

[copper flume]

ok

[autumn sierra]

@shrewd apex

now i got a red flag error

its outside async function

[shrewd apex]

why would it be outside

[autumn sierra]

lol
i think i shud do it in the 2nd last line perhaps ?

[shrewd apex]

u would put it in the first line inside the async function

[autumn sierra]

u told at the start
async doesnt come at the strat

[autumn sierra]

lmao
u didnt mention
tht
sorry am a newbie

lol
mb

[shrewd apex]

well the statement had await all awaits can only be executed under an async context

[autumn sierra]

mb mb

[shrewd apex]

no issues
