[boreal sigil]

ok

understood - setup only in extension

its in my extension.

do I use the load thing in the main script.py?

[fast osprey]

You use load_extension wherever you wish the extension to be loaded and you have your bot. It is entirely up to you

[boreal sigil]

ahh k

so this is all i need in the extension code?

[fast osprey]

Well, that will just print that and do nothing else

[boreal sigil]

yeah i realised mistake

so script.py (main code)

and extension code

[fast osprey]

You can't have an await outside of an async method

Also you can't pass a string with a comma into load_extension, that's not what it expects

[dark schooner]

bopts?

[open cobalt]

hey async def .... and await are like a pair. You cant use one without it, so await cant stand alone. I think bot.load_extension() takes name as a parameter which is a string "name (str) – The extension name to load".

[mild token]

how i can typecasetypecast discord.User into a discord.Member?

[wanton current]

what

[mild token]

i mean i am using get_user which returns discord.User but i want to use add_role which is supported by discord.Member

so trying to typecast it in discord.Member

[wanton current]

then do guild.get_member(user.id)

[mild token]

actually the function i am using in dont have that guild obj

i need to use find_guild and then go with that

                user_guild = await self.bot.fetch_guild(
                    Core.SERVER_ID)
                print(user_guild, rep_id["id"])
                rep_id = int(rep_id["id"])
                print(type(rep_id))
                user = user_guild.get_member(384158530623635456)
                print(user)

i am getting guild name printed out but when i use .get_member on it , it returns None? thats my discord id above

test 384158530623635456
<class 'int'>
None

even .members is empty

[wanton current]

what is shown if you print user_guild.members

[mild token]

SequenceProxy(dict_values([]))

[wanton current]

do you not have guild members intents

[mild token]

i have enabled all the intents

[wanton current]

wait, why are you fetching the guild?

https://i.itswilli.dev/JWfuLUAxxv.png

[mild token]

actually just tried but looks like either this is the bug i found

woops

[mild token]

i should have read the docs well : (

[wanton current]

:(

[mild token]

None getting this solved it, i am dumb ignore this

[hushed galleon]

thats a fine place to call it, though there's also a cog_load() method that you can use instead:
https://discordpy.readthedocs.io/en/stable/ext/commands/api.html#discord.ext.commands.Cog.cog_load ```py
class MyCog(commands.Cog):
async def cog_load(self):

async def setup(bot):
await bot.add_cog(MyCog(...)) # cog_load() exceptions propagate here too```

[pure glacier]

hi i am creating a discord bot on python of pokemon weaknesses. Done with the single typing mons

with open('pokemonData.json', 'r') as f:
    pokemon_data = json.load(f)

@bot.command(name='weak')
async def weakness(ctx, pokemon_name):
    pokemon_name = pokemon_name.lower()
    if pokemon_name not in pokemon_data:
        await ctx.send(f'Pokemon "{pokemon_name}" not found.')
        return
    
    pokemon = pokemon_data[pokemon_name]
    types = pokemon['types']
    
    # Define type effectiveness
    type_effectiveness = {
        'Normal': {'SUPER EFFECTIVE': ['Fighting'], 'UNEFFECTIVE': [], 'IMMUNE': ['Ghost']},```

Now for the dual typing how can i define like Normal + fighting etc?

[wheat thunder]

I've seen this function before but didn't know its purpose. The name isn't intuitive

[hushed galleon]

representing the data you mean? this question is a bit more generic and better suited in #1035199133436354600, but from a quick glance at this chart https://pokemondb.net/type/dual, perhaps you would want to use tuple keys, e.g. py defense_to_attack_effectiveness = { # (defense types): {attack effectiveness} ("Normal", None): {"Fighting": 2, ...}, ("Normal", "Fire"): {"Fire": 1/2, ...}, ... } i would also consider using an SQLite database to represent this data, but you'd need some knowledge of SQL basics and design to go with that approach

[wheat thunder]

Should the design of a Service object,
handling Discord classes and storing them in a database, be assessed within the database section?

[limber jolt]

If I wereyou i'd change It too bot.py

[distant dew]

anyone is familiar with telegram bots ? i have some questions im new in this

[limber jolt]

What are they?

[distant dew]

can i dm you ?

[limber jolt]

Sure.

[distant dew]

check dms and Thank you

[wild maple]

Can anyone explain me this:
@bot.command()
async def roll(ctx, dice: str):
"""Rolls a dice in NdN format."""
try:
rolls, limit = map(int, dice.split('d'))
except Exception:
await ctx.send('Format has to be in NdN!')
return

result = ', '.join(str(random.randint(1, limit)) for r in range(rolls))
await ctx.send(result)

What is NdN format?

[wheat thunder]

2d6 = two 6-sided dice

[foggy elbow]

Are there any free hosting tool to keep my bot running 24/7?

[fast osprey]

Not any good ones. Someone has to pay the money to run a server, there's always a catch

[wheat thunder]

Do someone know how to test Discord commands in an automated way, without directly inputting commands?

I receive commands in a cog and handle important logic through a service.
Testing the service is feasible, but testing whether the Discord bot correctly executes commands seems challenging.

Should I mock the cog's commands for testing?

[mild token]

ok

is there a way to give min and max value in interaction parameter?
like it should accept value btw 0 to 10 something like this?

[fast osprey]

!d discord.app_commands.Range

[unkempt canyon]

discord.app\_commands.Range

class discord.app_commands.Range```
A type annotation that can be applied to a parameter to require a numeric or string type to fit within the range provided.

During type checking time this is equivalent to [`typing.Annotated`](https://docs.python.org/3/library/typing.html#typing.Annotated) so type checkers understand the intent of the code.

Some example ranges...

[mild token]

i add in decorator but it given error

[fast osprey]

Yeah the example in there will work

[wheat thunder]

If there's a view that will only be used within a single Cog,
is it acceptable to declare that view inside a class?

Or is it more common to organize a separate folder structure for views?

[fast osprey]

There is no functional reason here to nest classes

You can have multiple classes in a file

[wheat thunder]

Of course I know, but I declared an error class inside the class that will only be used inside that class.

I don't think it's necessary, but I wanted to know if there was a reason to avoid it.

[fast osprey]

Are you sure you're not conflating "inside class" and "inside file"

Because you really have no reason to put a class inside another class

[wheat thunder]

Of course it does.
I just wanted to try that.

I thought it would be a little more complete to have a View class inside a Cog class
rather than another View class inside a Cog file.

[timber dragon]

Python module*

A python module can hold as many classes as you want, it doesn't really matter

Nesting classes is kinda messy and discouraged

[wheat thunder]

I wanted to hear a definitive answer. If so, I'll change it.

[fast osprey]

"Cog file" is a construct that is entirely in your head. Python has modules and a module can have whatever declarations inside it that conceptually make sense

[open cobalt]

did my first bot with discord py but without ext commands. The bot gives you data about a keyword channelid video info channel info from youtube. What yall think?

[fast osprey]

Is there targeted feedback you're looking for?

[open cobalt]

I might make a version 2.0 but with command ext. I looked into the docs and is really nice

[timber dragon]

You don't have to use the extension..

[open cobalt]

you using it?

currently using on_message event for commands

[timber dragon]

You should be using slash commands tbh

[open cobalt]

comes that with the extension command?

I know on message is a bit mhh for commands

[smoky sinew]

Bro

U use

discord app command

https://tenor.com/view/slash-commands-gif-541992011426051762

[open cobalt]

ah ok got it, I need to look in the docs for that and implement it

[smoky sinew]

Yep

For sure

The docs are a great way to learn

Especially if you're a beginner

[vocal snow]

who are the docs

[open cobalt]

you mean where to find the docs? or I dont understand

[smoky sinew]

It's basically just a website which contains useful info and examples about discord.py

I definitely recommend checking it out

[vocal snow]

ohhh

[open cobalt]

it is simply said how the library works

what methods can be accesed etc etc etc

[smoky sinew]

At first i didn't really understand how to use the docs

But you learn with time

Overall i just think it's a great learning resource

[open cobalt]

yeah that is right

[smoky sinew]

Yep for sure

[glad cradle]

mudkip comeback?!

[drowsy thunder]

How to update database with times.
Like let's say a temp role command should remove a role from a user in 2 day and 3 hr and it's in a SQLite3 db
How do I reduce the time as time passes??

[wheat thunder]

Is it possible to automate the testing of discord commands?

[wheat thunder]

How about giving the role an expiry time and checking it every minute in tasks.loop?

[median radish]

i got a gen/stock bot i need help fixing, whoever can fix it i will pay

[fast osprey]

Rule 9
Do not offer or ask for paid work of any kind.

[midnight oracle]

I have no clue why the code is giving that error

Could I access the code to try to run it locally?

[limber jolt]

Alright i'll dm u share link

[midnight oracle]

okay

[boreal sigil]

what do I need then?

[fast osprey]

load_extension wants a singular module name

[boreal sigil]

which is?

[fast osprey]

The module name of the extension you want to load

[boreal sigil]

but like what is that tho 😭

[fast osprey]

Do you know how module names work in python? That's a very general thing, not library specific

like when you do imports

[boreal sigil]

ye ye

ik how they work but what is the module name

[fast osprey]

You would generate that based on your file structure

Let's say you had file A you were running, and you needed to import a function from file B elsewhere on your folder structure. You would have some import X in file A. X is the module name, and it's the exact same thing for using load_extension

[open cobalt]

hey シャドウキャット, I read the docs, so I mean the bot.load_extension takes a str name which is kinda like a path were the cog is located in your folder structure. Instead of / you replace it with a dot

so for example you have a folder cogs and inside this folder kick.py you tell the func this path cogs.kick (tell me if I am wrong)

@fast osprey Is that correct what I have written there ?

[fast osprey]

Loosely. It very specifically expects a module name, which behaves the way you described for files relative to the file being run but there are other ways of referencing modules too

[open cobalt]

you can load them also witha for loop os.listdir().. etc and then remove [:-3] of the filename string i think

[fast osprey]

That is not advisable to do file name manipulation yourself

utilities like pkgutil exist to make discovery/processing of modules easier

[open cobalt]

ok might look into that

[pliant marlin]

can someone help me code a bot? I'm new to coding/py

[slate swan]

Discord bots & discord.py is not made for people new to coding/python

Should learn python more as well as some specific topics e.g. oop, async, etc.

[vocal plover]

I feel like it's been a while since I've said this but I think that's absolutely the wrong response to beginners asking how to build bots. People learn best doing something that they enjoy or that's beneficial to them, if you just study python then with few exceptions you'll probably just get bored and frustrated. Yes, discord bot development is a challenging place to start your programming journey, but if bots are what motivate you to program then it's not necessarily a bad place to start, even with the higher learning curve. IMO the better way to approach this is to send examples of simple bots, get people to modify those, and send links to the various good bot tutorials around, because even if you don't understand what you're writing at the very start if you're driven to make stuff through a desire to make bots you'll pick it up pretty fast.

That all said, I'd recommend:
https://tutorial.vco.sh
And
https://guide.disnake.dev

[scarlet tiger]

Many people prefer to use discord.py (don't know why) their forks are better in some ways

[glad cradle]

discord.py is not a fork 🧐

[scarlet tiger]

No

It is the original

[glad cradle]

what you said is questionable, you should motivate why it's better if you say so, tho it doesn't fits the original question

[scarlet tiger]

I didn't say they are better, they are better at some things, for example creating application commands

[mild token]

how i can mention a thread? <@memberid> like we do with member and all?

[willow sluice]

<#channel_id>

[mild token]

[willow sluice]

for thread..

[mild token]

why its givine me unknown : (

[willow sluice]

or do you think that the thread is not a channel?

[mild token]

no no i tried this and got unknown maybe i have copied wrong id : (

[willow sluice]

invite me to server with thread you trying to ping

[timber dragon]

It's unknown if it's not cached afaik

It should still be click able

If the id is valid ofc

Make sure it's the thread's id, not whoever created it

[fast osprey]

Very hard disagree. If the only way someone can motivate themselves to do something is by ONLY doing the end goal and not the foundations, that is a fundamental discipline issue and not something to be encouraged. Foundations are boring, but sometimes you need to learn how to do boring things. There are no shortcuts, and the people who insist there are universally put out really crappy and unmaintainable code

[eager pike]

What are the docs for the discord.py slash commands? Where can i find them

[hushed galleon]

[pure glacier]

afk_users = {}

@bot.command(name='afk')
async def afk(ctx, *, reason=None):
    member = ctx.author
    try:
        if member.id in afk_users:
            afk_users.pop(member.id)
            await member.edit(nick=member.nick.replace('[AFK]', '').strip())
            await ctx.send(f'{member.mention} is no longer AFK')
        else:
            afk_users[member.id] = reason
            await member.edit(nick=f'[AFK] {member.display_name}')
            await ctx.send(f'{member.mention} is now AFK: {reason}')
    except discord.Forbidden:
        await ctx.send("I don't have permission to change your nickname!")

@bot.event
async def on_message(message):
    if message.author.id in afk_users and not message.content.startswith('!afk'):
        try:
            afk_users.pop(message.author.id)
            await message.author.edit(nick=message.author.nick.replace('[AFK]', '').strip())
            await message.channel.send(f'Welcome back, {message.author.mention}! You are no longer AFK.')
        except discord.Forbidden:
            await message.channel.send("I don't have permission to change your nickname back!")
    await bot.process_commands(message)```


With this everyone is able to go afk except me it shows "I don't have permission to change your nickname!" and it's also not able to give me roles and all. Bot had admin perms and i am owner

[finite salmon]

Probably a role hierarchy issue

Make the role of your bot higher than the one you currently use in your server role settings

[pure glacier]

well idh any role for myself

[eager pike]

try it on someone other than you with low to none perms?

[pure glacier]

yes that's the problem it's working for everyone except me

[eager pike]

yea then it's bc ur owner, it's discord's permission system

unless you pass the ownership to an alt

[timber dragon]

No bots can add roles to the owner

Check role positions

[limber jolt]

No matter hwat I have done i still get i have no perms when I try to use my FFMPEG file in VScode i've made sure folder and vscode have full control and ran It In admin mode

[smoky sinew]

yes it can if the bot is the owner..

[pure glacier]

btw i want help, how can i add a custom emoji in embed?

[limber jolt]

Im pretty sure its

:EMOJI_ID:

Or liek the name then ID

Like*

[pure glacier]

https://pastebin.com/FR02uTeA

the emojis are like fire, grass, water etc in my server but they are not coming on the embed title. I want that like if someone does ?weak bulbasaur the bot should've shows Bulbasaur (grass emoji)Grass/(poison emoji)Poison in the title instead of just bulbasaur

[timber dragon]

Lol no

You might be thinking of changing the nickname, that can't happen

[smoky sinew]

the bot is not the owner here

[timber dragon]

Indeed it's not

[smoky sinew]

unfortunately you are incorrect

[timber dragon]

And a bot is still adding roles to me

What

[wet talon]

I want to create a command in which if the bot sends an embed PAYMENT INVOICE to any channel, he will send a got message to specific channel

how i can do that

[fast osprey]

If it's your bot that's sending message A...that's your code, you can have it do whatever else you want at that point

[willow sluice]

Hello. I have a Button in my discord.ui.View and now i want to add a Select. Is there a way to change the state of View so that at the beginning only the buttons are displayed and after only select?

Or is the only way to do it is two different views?

[turbid condor]

You mean the buttons should disappear and Select takes there place after a certain period of time?

[willow sluice]

Right. For example
At first you can see the buttons after clicking on one of it only select appears and then again the buttons

[turbid condor]

Well you for the first part where the select appears you just need to edit interaction.message at the end of your response updating it with the view containing the select and same for the second when the user makes a selection then edit the interaction.message again sending the view with buttons

[hushed galleon]

for this i typically clear all the items and add back whichever is desired, something along the lines of: ```py
class MyView(discord.ui.View):
def init(self):
super().init()
self.selected_category = None
self._refresh_components()

def _refresh_components(self):
    self.clear_items()
    if self.selected_category is None:
        self.add_item(self.fruits_button)
        self.add_item(self.meats_button)
    elif self.selected_category == "fruits":
        self.add_item(FruitSelect(self))
    elif self.selected_category == "meats":
        self.add_item(MeatSelect(self))

@discord.ui.button(...)
async def fruits_button(self, interaction, button):
    self.selected_category = "fruits"
    self._refresh_components()
    await interaction.response.edit_message(view=self)

@discord.ui.button(...)
async def meats_button(self, interaction, button): ...```

when i want the original buttons, i'd update the state and refresh to add them back

though either approach (refreshing one view vs. editing multiple views) can be cleaner than the other depending on what you're doing

[willow sluice]

Thank you it helped me

[steep kindle]

TL:DR: The bot ran successfully but no commands were registered

[fast osprey]

You should not be doing setup steps in on_ready, especially not syncing

You're also syncing on a guild despite declaring a global command

[steep kindle]

Right, okay

You shouldn't be syncing every time your bot starts, for one

[mild token]

where should i put that then?

[fast osprey]

You should trigger it only when you need to. It has strict rate limits

[willow sluice]

make a sync command only for bot owner

[fast osprey]

Is there a specific reason why you'd want to sync to that guild rather than just globally?

[mild token]

i am making bot for a community

so it will be in guild only + its in testing server

[fast osprey]

Global should be fine

[mild token]

till yesterday my code was working

suddenly today it stopped

[fast osprey]

Either the bot isn't in that guild, or it doesn't have the app command scope in that guild

Whatever that id points to

[mild token]

bot is in the guild and i have checked dev portal dont know why its not working

[fast osprey]

Scope has nothing to do with dev portal

[mild token]

https://discord.com/oauth2/authorize?client_id=1237358593230241792&permissions=8&integration_type=0&scope=bot+applications.commands

i am using this

[fast osprey]

And if you sync globally?

[mild token]

using guild install

[mild token]

i tried to not sync any command still it raises the error

[fast osprey]

But the error is on sync

You couldn't not sync and still get the same error

[mild token]

today this error started

[fast osprey]

What is your code now, and your error now

After removing the sync

[willow sluice]

            ret += 1

    await ctx.send(f"Synced the tree to {ret}/{len(guilds)}.")```

[mild token]

i got the error by mistake i added the wrong token
i added testing bot token and added the other bot token 😅

and this bot is not in this server

[willow sluice]

I guess that you are getting this error because the bot is not ready yet
try to use wait_until_ready before using auto sync. and check your token and guild id is correct

[willow sluice]

damn

[mild token]

i did completely dumb thing

when bot logged in i read the name and figured out 😅

[fast osprey]

That'll do it

GUYS I MADE MY FRIST DISCORD BOT

😄

[strange zodiac]

.bm

[lethal drift]

is PRESENCE INTENT needed if I'm checking how many users in a server are online (every status except offline)?

I don't need to know immediately (aka using the event) when it's changed per user since I'm already running the task on a loop

[golden portal]

!d discord.Intents.presences

[unkempt canyon]

discord.Intents.presences

Whether guild presence related events are enabled.

This corresponds to the following events:

• on_presence_update()

This also corresponds to the following attributes and classes in terms of cache...

[golden portal]

eh it doesnt show

but you do, its written in there

[torn solar]

is there a way to do this but have the choices updated

basically i have a different command where i want the choices to be this list of accounts

but the list of accounts is going to be constantly updating

cursor.execute("SELECT account_name FROM accounts") thats what i want the choices to be

[sick birch]

looks like you want autocomplete

[torn solar]

but updated not set when the script runs

correct me if im wrong but if i do this ```from enum import Enum, auto

class Choices(Enum):
choice1 = auto()
choice2 = auto()
choice3 = auto()

@bot.tree.command(...)
async def my_command(interaction: discord.Interaction, choices: Choices) -> None:
...``` it wont be updated to what the current accounts are

yknow what i mean

since the choices are set when the script runs

so is there possibly a way to set the choices inside of the command so that it updates?

@sick birch

[sick birch]

yeah looks like you want autocomplete

[torn solar]

i just want the choice to be all the accounts

but updated

not all the accounts from when the script is ran

how can i do that

[sick birch]

looks like you want autocomplete

[torn solar]

idk what that means but

[torn solar]

async def register(ctx: discord.Interaction, account: Literal["Checking", "Business"]) -> None:``` like with this the choices are business and checking but for my other command i want it to list all the accounts

can you explain how to do that please or link something

[willow sluice]

just dynamically generate an array of options

that is all

[torn solar]

can i set the choices inside of the command?

is that possible

[sick birch]

https://discordpy.readthedocs.io/en/stable/interactions/api.html#discord.app_commands.autocomplete

if you can generate the options ahead of time, then yeah you should use choice

but from what you're telling us you seem to want autocomplete, unless i'm mistaken

[willow sluice]

bro how do you think? Сommand code will only be called after the call. And you need options before calling

[torn solar]

yeah the options are being updates constantly

so they cannot be generated ahead of time

[sick birch]

based on what information? what the user is typing?

or who the user is?

[willow sluice]

wdym you can generate options before command call

[torn solar]

so basically its a transfer command and i want the choice for account to list all the accounts

and it might change when someone registers a new account

yknow what i mean

[willow sluice]

bro.. just give us description of your command work and what choices it should have

[sick birch]

yeah you will probably need to use autocomplete for that

well, not need

but i find the experience with autocomplete to be kind of mid with the latency so i just don't use it

if you don't implement some sort of caching, each time the user types a letter you will hit the DB and return a result, really slow and just not a good experience

[willow sluice]

[turbid condor]

Btw an fyi you are using a synchronous code for database which will cause blocking

[torn solar]

what should i do

[turbid condor]

Either use asyncio.to_thread to run those function or use an async lib for db like aiosqlite

[torn solar]

im trying to have the choices for account in the transfer command be all the current accounts in cursor.execute("SELECT account_name FROM accounts") but the accounts are being updated while the bot is running so i can have it pre set

[torn solar]

dont understand a word of that

also theres an error

[turbid condor]

!blocking

[unkempt canyon]

Asynchronous programming

Imagine that you're coding a Discord bot and every time somebody uses a command, you need to get some information from a database. But there's a catch: the database servers are acting up today and take a whole 10 seconds to respond. If you do not use asynchronous methods, your whole bot will stop running until it gets a response from the database. How do you fix this? Asynchronous programming.

What is asynchronous programming?
An asynchronous program utilises the async and await keywords. An asynchronous program pauses what it's doing and does something else whilst it waits for some third-party service to complete whatever it's supposed to do. Any code within an async context manager or function marked with the await keyword indicates to Python, that whilst this operation is being completed, it can do something else. For example:

import discord

# Bunch of bot code

async def ping(ctx):
    await ctx.send("Pong!")

What does the term "blocking" mean?
A blocking operation is wherever you do something without awaiting it. This tells Python that this step must be completed before it can do anything else. Common examples of blocking operations, as simple as they may seem, include: outputting text, adding two numbers and appending an item onto a list. Most common Python libraries have an asynchronous version available to use in asynchronous contexts.

async libraries

• The standard async library - asyncio
• Asynchronous web requests - aiohttp
• Talking to PostgreSQL asynchronously - asyncpg
• MongoDB interactions asynchronously - motor
• Check out this list for even more!

[torn solar]

so how can i fix the code

just make it an async method and await it?

[turbid condor]

Did you even read the embed?

[torn solar]

yes it says that if a function doesnt use asynchronous programming it will stop running while its waiting for that function to complete

so using async allows for it to keep doing other things while its communicating with the 3rd party server

[turbid condor]

And the last paragraph?

It tells you to use async lib

[torn solar]

im just confused bruh

[turbid condor]

So switch from sqlite to aiosqlite

[torn solar]

can i still use my current db and are the functions the same

[eager pike]

does commands.Bot require intents?

[turbid condor]

As for this error check your argument name in the choices decorator and and the function declaration

[turbid condor]

Yes

[turbid condor]

For first question yes as for second the no u will be using them in an asynchronous context

[torn solar]

so ill have to await each one of them

[turbid condor]

Yes

!pip aiosqlite

[unkempt canyon]

aiosqlite v0.20.0

asyncio bridge to the standard sqlite3 module

Released on <t:1708409573:D>.

[turbid condor]

This is asynchronous module for sqlite

[torn solar]

what do i need to change to fix my current error first ik u told me but im still confused

[eager pike]

class myBot(commands.Bot):
    def __init__(self, *, intents: discord.Intents):
        super().__init__(intents=Intents.all())
``` Why can't i do this?

[turbid condor]

In choices you are using the argument name as accounts while in declaration u are using account

[torn solar]

    def __init__(self):
        intents = discord.Intents.all()``` this is how mine is setup u can try that

[tropic tartan]

you dont need intents in ur init

[torn solar]

    def __init__(self):
        intents = discord.Intents.all()
        super().__init__(command_prefix=".", intents=intents)```

thats the full thing sorry left that bottom line out

[eager pike]

I want to use a cmd tree for slash cmds

[torn solar]

i use command tree

[turbid condor]

You can use it

[torn solar]

works fine for me @bot.tree.command(name="", description="")

that as the decorator then define it

[turbid condor]

Just initialize your class and do it as you normally do

[eager pike]

it takes an hour or so for the slash commands to show up right?

[torn solar]

no just restart ur discord

[eager pike]

unless i specifically enable them for a server

[turbid condor]

No

[eager pike]

oh what

ok thx

[turbid condor]

Just refresh discord

[torn solar]

class ChaseBot(commands.Bot):
    def __init__(self):
        intents = discord.Intents.all()
        super().__init__(command_prefix=".", intents=intents)
        
    async def setup_hook(self) -> None:
        self.add_view(PersistentConfirmation())
        self.add_view(PersistentCloseButton())
        self.add_view(PersistentTicket())
        self.add_view(DashboardView())
        
bot = ChaseBot()

@bot.event
async def on_ready():
    await bot.change_presence(activity=presence,status=status)
    print(f'{bot.user} Loaded')
    synced = await bot.tree.sync()
    print("Command Tree Synced")```

[turbid condor]

Again don't sync in on_ready

[torn solar]

no need to define synced but i have it for some reason

[torn solar]

y

[turbid condor]

Cuz you don't need to sync everytime your bot starts

Only once

[eager pike]

What if you edit or remove commands?

Would you not need to sync again

[torn solar]

the alternative is to make a regular command for syncing

[turbid condor]

And on_ready can trigger many times instead of once during a cycle

[torn solar]

for example !sync

[turbid condor]

That's the best thing

[turbid condor]

In case you edit the command logic then no need to sync but if you add a new command or remove a command then u need to sync

Also you will need to sync if you add or change an argument for the command

[torn solar]

basically sync anyytime you edit anything about/within the command

and if its not showing up refresh ur discord

[turbid condor]

Not within

[torn solar]

fr?

[turbid condor]

You can change logic and no need to sync

[turbid condor]

### Sync when you...
- Basic
  - Added/Removed a command
  - Added/Modified/Removed autocomplete (decorator, transformer)
  - Added/Removed an argument
  - Added/Modified/Removed locale strings
  - Converted the global/guild command to a guild/global command
- Modify 
  - Changed a command's...
    - name (`name=` kwarg, function name)
    - description (`description=` kwarg, docstring)
  - Changed an argument's...
    - name (rename decorator, param name)
    - choices (Literal, choices decorator, enum type)
    - description (describe decorator, docstring)
    - type (`arg: str` str is the type here)
- Permissions
  - Added/Modified/Removed permissions:
    - `default_permissions` (decorator, kwarg)
    - `nsfw` (kwarg)
  - Changed installs or contexts (decorators):
    - `allowed_installs`
    - `allowed_contexts`
    - `guild_install`, `user_install`, `guild_only`, `dm_only`, `private_channel_only`
### Do not sync when you...
- Changed anything in the command/autcomplete function's body (after the `async def ():` part)
- Added/Modified/Removed library side checks:
  - `(@)app_commands.checks...`
  - `(@)commands...(.check)`
  - `@app_commands.checks.(dynamic_)cooldown(...)`

*This is the same for hybrid app commands*

This is when u need to sync and when not to

[torn solar]

is syncing too much really bad

like does it affect it that much

[turbid condor]

It can cause you to be rate limited

There's a 200 commands per day cap i think

[torn solar]

oh shit

never knew that

[eager pike]

@turbid condor so i just add a sync slash commands that syncs once i run the cmd?

[turbid condor]

No the sync command will be a prefix command

[eager pike]

oh ok

[finite salmon]

It doesn't really matter if it's slash or prefix

[willow sluice]

bro.. import list from typing lol

[turbid condor]

How the f would you use a slash command if it's not synced

[finite salmon]

Sync it in the setup_hook or somewhere temporarily and remove it once it's synced

[turbid condor]

Seriously 😳

[finite salmon]

just a one time thing

And remove it from setup_hook or wherever and use the command from then on

[turbid condor]

You could have said make it a hybrid

But no type it in setup hook and then remove it after starting the bot once

[finite salmon]

If you wanna make it hybrid then sure

[finite salmon]

Or if your bot is pure slash then you'll have to do this

[willow sluice]

bro can you send content of this message inside ``` ```? i want to resend it for myself

[turbid condor]

There u go

I edited it

[willow sluice]

tysm

[eager pike]

what is process_commands?

[willow sluice]

!d discord.ext.commands.Bot.process_commands

[unkempt canyon]

discord.ext.commands.Bot.process\_commands

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

This function processes the commands that have been registered to the bot and other groups. Without this coroutine, none of the commands will be triggered.

By default, this coroutine is called inside the [`on_message()`](https://discordpy.readthedocs.io/en/latest/api.html#discord.on_message) event. If you choose to override the [`on_message()`](https://discordpy.readthedocs.io/en/latest/api.html#discord.on_message) event, then you should invoke this coroutine as well.

This is built using other low level tools, and is equivalent to a call to [`get_context()`](https://discordpy.readthedocs.io/en/latest/ext/commands/api.html#discord.ext.commands.Bot.get_context) followed by a call to [`invoke()`](https://discordpy.readthedocs.io/en/latest/ext/commands/api.html#discord.ext.commands.Bot.invoke).

This also checks if the message’s author is a bot and doesn’t call [`get_context()`](https://discordpy.readthedocs.io/en/latest/ext/commands/api.html#discord.ext.commands.Bot.get_context) or [`invoke()`](https://discordpy.readthedocs.io/en/latest/ext/commands/api.html#discord.ext.commands.Bot.invoke) if so.

Changed in version 2.0: `message` parameter is now positional-only.

@bot.tree.command(name="transfer", description="Transfer funds to another account.")
@app_commands.autocomplete(account=transfer_autocomplete)
async def transfer(interaction: discord.Interaction, account: str):
    print('hi')```

its not autocompleting anything

[turbid condor]

Cuz you are doing it wrong

[torn solar]

ur right

i forgot to make it an asyncio method i just noticed that

wait

its async im tweaking

[turbid condor]

Autocomplete is an interaction type that shows a set autocomplete values/options to the user as they type in an option.
Autocomplete is only available for str, int, and float types, and only available in chat-input (slash) commands.

To add an autocomplete option to a command, it is recommended for it to be done in one of two ways:

You can use the @command.autocomplete('option_name') decorator, where the str argument passed as the first parameter to the decorator
is the name of the parameter you want to provide autocomplete to:

@app_commands.command(...)
async def foo(interaction: discord.Interaction, bar: str):
    ...

@foo.autocomplete('bar')
async def autocomplete_callback(interaction: discord.Interaction, current: str):
    # Do stuff with the "current" parameter, e.g. querying it search results...

    # Then return a list of app_commands.Choice
    return [
        app_commands.Choice(name='Option 1', value='Option 1')
    ]

As seen above, the parameters in autocomplete_callback are interaction (the autocomplete interaction received) and current (the incomplete value the user is entering).

You can also use it as @app_commands.autocomplete(option_name=callback). Every kwarg name is the option name and the value of it is the function/callback of the autocomplete callback, taking and returning the same exact arguments as above.

Now compare the example here with your code

async def fruit_autocomplete(
    interaction: discord.Interaction,
    current: str,
) -> List[app_commands.Choice[str]]:
    fruits = ['Banana', 'Pineapple', 'Apple', 'Watermelon', 'Melon', 'Cherry']
    return [

        for fruit in fruits if current.lower() in fruit.lower()
    ]

@app_commands.command()
@app_commands.autocomplete(fruit=fruit_autocomplete)
async def fruits(interaction: discord.Interaction, fruit: str):
    await interaction.response.send_message(f'Your favourite fruit seems to be {fruit}')``` this is what it said to do on the docs

ill tryout ur method

[torn solar]

wait but how can i use this for my get_accounts() method

cus for that i have to set individual choices

[dusky elk]

Is anyone aware wether pymongo read operations like count and find_one are blocking in the context of discord bots?
The mongo docs say that they are lock free read ops but im assuming the actual network call will be blocking?

https://www.mongodb.com/docs/manual/faq/concurrency/#what-are-lock-free-read-operations-

[turbid condor]

Well as far as I can see your transfer_autocomplete is the call back

Just put that under the auto complete deco

!pip pymongo

[unkempt canyon]

pymongo v4.8.0

Python driver for MongoDB http://www.mongodb.org

Released on <t:1719427653:D>.

[torn solar]

ok

[turbid condor]

!pip motor

[unkempt canyon]

motor v3.5.1

[dusky elk]

gee thanks thats very useful

[turbid condor]

Use this

Cuz pymongo seems to be a synchronous lib

[dusky elk]

I am aware of motor and its docs, I am specifically asking wether read operations for pymongo are blocking

I guess there's one way to find out

[turbid condor]

You are syncing it right?

[torn solar]

i havent switched to aiosqlite

if thats what ur asking

[turbid condor]

I mean after changing the autocomplete you synced your command?

[willow sluice]

Why did you call the variable a reserved word?...
This is also autocomplete so you shouldnyt have default options bro..

[torn solar]

should be yeah i still have it in the on start or whatever

Command Tree Synced```

[turbid condor]

And you reloaded your discord?

[torn solar]

yuh

ill refresh my discord again one sec

[willow sluice]

Check what your function returns

[torn solar]

which one

get_accounts or the callback

[turbid condor]

The autocomplete

Print the return value

[torn solar]

k

where should i print it tho

[willow sluice]

get_accounts

[torn solar]

like when

[turbid condor]

In console

[torn solar]

ik but where do i put the print

[willow sluice]

bro just call print func

[torn solar]

just inside the method

[willow sluice]

just inside

[torn solar]

k

ill print both

        app_commands.Choice(name=account, value=account)
        for account in accounts if current.lower() in account.lower()
    ]``` how do i even print this

[willow sluice]

do you know basics of python? just put it inside variable and print it

[torn solar]

        app_commands.Choice(name=account, value=account)
        for account in accounts if current.lower() in account.lower()
    ])``` ill just do this

its not printing anything

@turbid condor yo
what do you think about this part of code?

def get_accounts():
    cursor.execute("SELECT account_name FROM accounts")
    list = cursor.fetchall()
    print('get_account print: ' + list(list))
    return list(list)

[torn solar]

why u dr me

can u not just help

[turbid condor]

Just print list variable cuz the query is correct

[torn solar]

im printing the list wrong?

[turbid condor]

I mean rather than formatting it to a list

Just print(list)

And also make sure the db is actually loaded with data

[torn solar]

im pretty sure fetchall() returns a tuple

[turbid condor]

Yes

[willow sluice]

are you srsly? look at this code
im talking about list(list)

[turbid condor]

Doesn't seem to be issue with db

[turbid condor]

Yeah it's ok

[torn solar]

im just converting the tuple to a list

[turbid condor]

list() converts the tuple to list

[torn solar]

whats wrong with that

because the autocomplete needs a list

[willow sluice]

ummm

guys try to run this code

test_var = (1, 2, 3)
print(test_var)
print(list(test_var))

print('=' * 20)

list = test_var
print(list)
print(list(list))

It seems to me that you dont understand whats going on at all

[torn solar]

def get_accounts():
    cursor.execute("SELECT account_name FROM accounts")

        app_commands.Choice(name=account, value=account)
        for account in accounts if current.lower() in account.lower()
    ]``` still not printing anything

its only printing the "hi"

[turbid condor]

Ahh ambiguity

[hushed galleon]

do you have logging configured and/or are you using await bot.start(token)? you should have seen an error in your console during the autocompletion

[torn solar]

im using bot.run and idk what u mean by logging configured

there was no error

[hushed galleon]

were there other log messages that showed, stuff like INFO Connected to gateway or of the sort

[torn solar]

2024-07-14 01:12:03 INFO     discord.gateway Shard ID None has connected to Gateway (Session ID: b20118b324b697bc3ea9c046cc6caceb).````

[hushed galleon]

hmm, so logging should be configured if you used bot.run(token)

wait derp you just showed that

[turbid condor]

may be an errorhandler is at work

[hushed galleon]

anyway, when you used the command did it show an autocomplete box above it?

[willow sluice]

you are wrong. its configured by default lol

[torn solar]

yes, but nothing in there

said failed to load options

[turbid condor]

that's just what he said

[hushed galleon]

only with bot.run(), bot.start() doesn't configure it which is what i had someone else fix a few days ago

[willow sluice]

invite me to the server where you are testing command

[torn solar]

anyone else need an invite

[willow sluice]

I didnt read your message correctly sorry
i know

[hushed galleon]

i wonder, does the tree handler and cog_app_command_error catch errors during autocompletion?

[torn solar]

yall speaking a foreign language rn

[willow sluice]

just add app_commands.autocomplete decorator

[turbid condor]

same never tried it to be honest

[torn solar]

think i tried that before ill try again tho

[turbid condor]

but it eats away most errors that occur

[torn solar]

cant python isnt a compiled language

[hushed galleon]

^ this one looks correct in that it should have at least called your autocomplete function and raised an exception

[torn solar]

the transfer callback needs to be below the command

and for the app_commands.autcdomplete decorator it needs to be above the command

[hushed galleon]

oh yeah i dont think we asked, do you have any error handlers?

[willow sluice]

that is not correct. you guys strsly dont see this obviously error in the code???

    cursor.execute("SELECT account_name FROM accounts")
    list = cursor.fetchall()
    return list(list)

[torn solar]

    cursor.execute("SELECT account_name FROM accounts")
    accounts = cursor.fetchall()
    print('get_account print: ' + accounts)
    return list(accounts)

@bot.tree.command(name="transfer", description="Transfer funds to another account.")
async def transfer(interaction: discord.Interaction, account: str):
    print('hi') 
    
@transfer.autocomplete('account')
async def transfer_autocomplete(
    interaction: discord.Interaction,
    current: str,
) -> List[app_commands.Choice[str]]:
    accounts = get_accounts()
    print([
        app_commands.Choice(name=account, value=account)
        for account in accounts if current.lower() in account.lower()
    ])
    return [
        app_commands.Choice(name=account, value=account)
        for account in accounts if current.lower() in account.lower()
    ]``` sending this here to save the current code incase that one dont work

[willow sluice]

list(list)

[hushed galleon]

i think you misread again, they said there wasnt even an exception which would suggest it got eaten up or never called

[willow sluice]

you are also dont sure that autocomplete errors are handling

and im sure that this code is not executed otherwise something would be printed to the console

[torn solar]

@hushed galleon it got called with that one you said should work

[('Chase',), ('Fluffy Personal',), ('Town of Greenville',)] it printed

its not autocompleting tho

[hushed galleon]

https://github.com/Rapptz/discord.py/blob/v2.4.0/discord/app_commands/tree.py#L1301-L1305
huh, autocomplete errors are handled only by dpy and can't be customized

[unkempt canyon]

discord/app_commands/tree.py lines 1301 to 1305

try:
    await command._invoke_autocomplete(interaction, focused, namespace)
except Exception:
    # Suppress exception since it can't be handled anyway.
    _log.exception('Ignoring exception in autocomplete for %r', command.qualified_name)```

[torn solar]

not sure why its printing tuples inside of a list

is that the issue

[hushed galleon]

ya, fetchall() normally returns a list of tuples

in case you select multiple columns

[torn solar]

how do i get it to return the correct thing

[willow sluice]

i thougt tuple of tuples, no?

[willow sluice]

get value by index

[torn solar]

this what it printed

dunno how to do that ngl

[hushed galleon]

[0] to get the first element, [1] to get the second, etc.

[torn solar]

yeah but that grabs a tuple

i need the value

[willow sluice]

oh god

    return [
        app_commands.Choice(name=account, value=account[0])
        for account in accounts if current.lower() in account.lower()
    ]

Thats all

[hushed galleon]

!e its a bit more clear if you tweak the variable names: py rows = [('Chase',), ('Fluffy Personal',), ('Town of Greenville',)] names = [row[0] for row in rows] print(names)

[unkempt canyon]

:white_check_mark: Your 3.12 eval job has completed with return code 0.

['Chase', 'Fluffy Personal', 'Town of Greenville']

[torn solar]

correct me if im wrong but its a list of tuples right so list[0] would return the first tuple

[willow sluice]

You really need to learn basics of python

[torn solar]

why are u dick riding

[turbid condor]

yes

[hushed galleon]

in your list comprehension, your account variable contains the tuple that you need the name from, so you would index that

[willow sluice]

I will be happy to help people who have a problem but you dont even know the basics of python at all and want us to write all the code for you

"how to get element of tuple by index?"

[torn solar]

ik how to get a value by index i was confused cus it was tuples inside of a list

[torn solar]

    cursor.execute("SELECT account_name FROM accounts")
    accounts = cursor.fetchall()
    names = [accounts[0] for account in accounts]
    return names``` this should work right

[hushed galleon]

ya, thats fine

[torn solar]

k ill test it out

[hushed galleon]

oh wait, you have an extra s there

[torn solar]

where

[willow sluice]

accounts to account

[turbid condor]

accounts[0] here

[torn solar]

    cursor.execute("SELECT account_name FROM accounts")
    accounts = cursor.fetchall()
    names = [account[0] for account in accounts]
    return names```

epic now to see if it updates when a new account is created

[turbid condor]

it will

[hushed galleon]

naming a variable in singular form vs abbreviating it... at least my type checker can complain when i typo it

[torn solar]

will it take long

or immediate

[turbid condor]

immediate

[hushed galleon]

discord caches your autocompletion results iirc, though im not sure when it resets

[torn solar]

it works ty guys, also how many options are there allowed to be

[hushed galleon]

well, typing something would get a new result, but thats a bit awkward for the user

[turbid condor]

didn't they change that in recent updates

[torn solar]

cus im worried if theres too many accounts it might break

[turbid condor]

it won't it will only show first 25 result I think

that's the limit

[torn solar]

is it scrollable or just the first 25

[turbid condor]

just first 25 matching results

[torn solar]

oh ok

thank you guys so much u really been helpful

[turbid condor]

now my brain ain't braining

[torn solar]

felt the same way

[torn solar]

wheres the link for discord

[mild token]

bot can edit role higher than its hierarchy ?

[turbid condor]

no

[torn solar]

no

[turbid condor]

that would destroy the point having roles

[hushed galleon]

discord.gg/dpy you mean?

[torn solar]

ty

[turbid condor]

which discord?

[torn solar]

is discord.py developed by discord or not

[turbid condor]

no it's a different team

[chilly cloud]

yo, I got a slash command that requests stuff from an api everytime someone uses it, is it better practice to request from the api every few minutes and write it to a text file, get the data from the text file instead?

[turbid condor]

well depends on if they have rate limits or not

and how sharp they are

[torn solar]

yeah i tried making a bot for the stock market and stuff but the free apis had rate limits

it was sad

[chilly cloud]

whats the benefit of requesting each interaction, compared to a text file

[torn solar]

less work

[chilly cloud]

I feel like text file might help my code run faster

[turbid condor]

well if the data is being changed dynamically then you would need to request it from api no point in writing to a text

[torn solar]

i mean you can test it but i dont think it will make a difference

[chilly cloud]

wdym by dynamically

[willow sluice]

Either way it will be better, can you store this in a database?

[turbid condor]

like in real time

[torn solar]

the values ur requesting constantly changing

[chilly cloud]

what would be better?

[chilly cloud]

ye it does, but requesting from this api takes like 1 to 2 secs, which is quite long for me

[turbid condor]

like stock market

[torn solar]

i mean waiting 1-2 seconds isnt a big deal unless ur bot is for commercial uses, and interaction.response.defer

[willow sluice]

store data is better than fetching this every time after command call

you can request for example every 5 minutes using discord.ext.tasks

[turbid condor]

what's the point of storing if it's changing dynamically?

[torn solar]

yeah if it was for the stock market you wouldnt need to use a db since all that data is changed multiple times a second

[turbid condor]

and we don't know what type of data they are fetching

[chilly cloud]

ye, thinking about storing in a .txt file

[chilly cloud]

json

[torn solar]

it really depends on how often the data ur grabbing is changed

[chilly cloud]

im thinking like every 5 to 10 mins

doesnt have to be pinpoint accurate

[turbid condor]

then storing is good

[torn solar]

ok then a txt file is fine

[chilly cloud]

alright bet

[turbid condor]

if it's changing by seconds then no need for storing

[turbid condor]

use a database

[chilly cloud]

actually, once every 1 to 2 hours should be good to

[vocal shoal]

Hey mates, we are a team building an AI learning platform:
https://cone.ai
Need insights and reviews for it. Can you please check and provide me with your feedback or suggest something innovative you want in any learning platform...

[turbid condor]

that's faster

[torn solar]

yeah i just said txt file cus he said thats what he was using

[chilly cloud]

its like a rap thing for a game, only updates every hour anyways

[chilly cloud]

why though

[turbid condor]

the txt will take longer time as more data gets added

[chilly cloud]

true

hm

[torn solar]

if your applications isnt huge use sqlite

its lightweight and easy

[turbid condor]

and txt is more likely to get corrupted

then a database

[chilly cloud]

how would I use the database to do autocompletes

[torn solar]

lol we were just going over this

[chilly cloud]

yep, worked with sqlite alot on a past project, quite familiar with it

[turbid condor]

for god sake use aiosqlite

or some similar lib

[chilly cloud]

yes, I use that for bot

[torn solar]

[turbid condor]

good to know

actually u are the first one I have seen doing that

[chilly cloud]

someone was pestering me to do it

[hushed galleon]

does this data have to persist between restarts? its extra simple if you can store it in memory instead

[chilly cloud]

took me like a day to understand the syntax because I didnt read the docs LOL

way easier than I thought

[torn solar]

isnt it the same syntax as sqlite but awaiting everything?

idk i havent used it

[turbid condor]

no

[chilly cloud]

nuh uh

[torn solar]

yeah ill switch to aioqlite later

just tryna make my bot functional rn

[chilly cloud]

instead of cursor, you need to do something like

async with db.execute("SELECT * FROM JOE") as cur:
data = await cur.fetchall()

I can send some examples I wrote

[torn solar]

oh thats not a huge change

[chilly cloud]

might be shit though

[chilly cloud]

ye

just set a global variable of your data base when your bot starts up

then you dont need to connect to it every command

[torn solar]

yeah if u got examples send them to me lol im gonna switch once my bot is working fully

[mild token]

editing normal message can ping?

[chilly cloud]

!paste

[turbid condor]

i don't think you get a notification for it

[chilly cloud]

https://paste.pythondiscord.com/3ENA
added a shop feature on one of my currency discord bots

code is kinda ass but it works

[torn solar]

if your editing in a ping it wont sendout a notification

it will light up the gold color tho

[drowsy thunder]

[chilly cloud]

damn bruh, another ryan

wassup other ryan

[torn solar]

your bot looks cool

is it for personal use or a public bot

[chilly cloud]

how long would it take to write a few thousand things to a database every hour

[chilly cloud]

not sure yet XD

I dont have anywhere to host it yet

[turbid condor]

a few secs

[chilly cloud]

sheesh not bad, imma get started

[turbid condor]

it also depends on the db you are using

[chilly cloud]

should I make another python file in the same project folder or start a new one

[chilly cloud]

aiosqlite ftw

[torn solar]

cybrance is the host i use

idk how good it is for commercial use but it works good for personal use

[chilly cloud]

how much does it cost?

[turbid condor]

yeah sqlite is fastest

[torn solar]

not much, also if u use code underctrl its free the first month

[chilly cloud]

which would be better practice

[torn solar]

on the most basic option i think

[chilly cloud]

I'll check it out

saw some people reccomending AWS

idk if it works for discord bots

[torn solar]

https://cybrancee.com/

its pretty cheap

[chilly cloud]

ooh not bad

[turbid condor]

they only provide petradoctyl? not a vps?

[torn solar]

idk and tbh idk what either of those mean

still hosted my bot well with no issues

[turbid condor]

petradoctyle is the panel

[torn solar]

ik but idk the differences

[turbid condor]

and vps is a whole server

and those specs are not good for a public bot especially the RAM imo

[drowsy thunder]

https://paste.pythondiscord.com/VRNQ This code should delete the old webhook if there is one and make a new webhook on the specified channel but it isn't .
The first time when there is no data it makes a new webhook the second time it shows NoneType error in embed and deletes the webhook and the third time it makes the new webhook
I want to merge the second and third command without any errors.
Can y'all help?

[torn solar]

they have a scalable tier and there are more features

[drowsy thunder]

I'm sick of asking ai to help me with this code 😭

[torn solar]

i think those first options i sent are more first bots that are only in 1 or a few servers

their scalable tier has pretty good specs

[drowsy thunder]

Someone help me with dis

[torn solar]

idk anything about webhooks or how they work sorry

[drowsy thunder]

@chilly cloud Ryan help 💀

[chilly cloud]

use aiosqlite for discord bots

[hushed galleon]

the async discord.Webhook is needed in order for await old_webhook.delete() to work

[chilly cloud]

will run much faster

[drowsy thunder]

I use SQLite3

[chilly cloud]

yea, its not asyncronus

[torn solar]

aioqlite is sqlite but asyncio

[chilly cloud]

your code stops while editing or reading data

[drowsy thunder]

So what to do

[chilly cloud]

nvm lemme see the problem

[drowsy thunder]

I guess I will ask ai to edit it for aiosqlite

[chilly cloud]

do you get an error

[chilly cloud]

chatgpt code can be inefficient sometimes lol

[hushed galleon]

bare sqlite3 can work in an async discord bot since most queries can complete in microseconds, the main risk is deadlocking if you have two connections operating at the same time

[drowsy thunder]

Yeh I use GPT-4 still yeh

[chilly cloud]

yep

[chilly cloud]

dont use ai bruh

just get good

we cant help you learn stuff if you use ai

[drowsy thunder]

I use AI for help not writing it 💀

I learn alot from it aswell

[turbid condor]

rather than learn you are getting fed

[wild maple]

Is there anyway i can get the repository of a specific bot in discord?

[chilly cloud]

google the repository

[wild maple]

Mike i want to make a bot similar to the "UB3R-BOT"

[drowsy thunder]

I ain't?
I told you that I don't use AI to write my code

[turbid condor]

no unless they give you they code and I doubt most well known bots will give their source

[drowsy thunder]

@turbid condor btw isn't RejectModders the owner of UniBot?

[turbid condor]

yeah he is

[drowsy thunder]

So you're helper dev?

[turbid condor]

yes

[drowsy thunder]

Oh ok

[turbid condor]

that's a team project instead of solo so there are others too

[drowsy thunder]

Oh
For me it's very hard to get devs 😦
I'm alone in my team

[turbid condor]

you can ask in forum help there might be someone who is interested

[torn solar]

@bot.event
async def on_member_leave(member):
    cursor.execute("DELETE FROM users WHERE user_id = ?", (member.id))
    conn.commit()``` why is this not working is it cus the user left so it cant grab the id?

i didnt even notice till now its not deleting them from my table

[golden portal]

on_member_leave isn't a thing, it should be on_member_remove

[torn solar]

lollll

ty im stupid my vscode has ai tabcomplete and it completed to that and i didnt even think about

[golden portal]

huh, good thing AI isn't good enough to replace us

[torn solar]

idk how it got added to my thing but its sometimes really usefull

like if i make an add command and start a remove command it can automatically make the remove command for me

its good in cases like that

[golden portal]

imo, current AI is pretty mediocre at programming, a lot of the time i'm using it on something advance and it spew terrible code. Maybe in the future it would be good to consider

[torn solar]

this is it

[golden portal]

i see, i've seen tabnine before

eats lots of ram tho

[torn solar]

fr?

[golden portal]

iirc it was like 1 gb extra

[turbid condor]

use codium or copilot better than this imo

[torn solar]

idk its just useful in some cases like i made a /admin-add-money and it managed to create a /admin-remove-money on its own

[turbid condor]

well I only use it for adding comments and docs

[mild token]

how i can create hollow circle like we do for filled circle using discord formatting?

[golden portal]

if you're comfortable with it go ahead, but do note it does write wrong code sometimes

[torn solar]

like a bullet point?

[mild token]

yeh

• this i know i dont know hollow one

[torn solar]

• hi

• hi
  -- hi

[golden portal]

• a
  • b

[mild token]

aight

[golden portal]

its a child

[torn solar]

i did it wrong

dont do what i did

• hi
• hi

its a space before the second one so ```- hi

• hi```

@mild token

[sick pier]

Discord formatting, as in a subclass of Markdown formatting, cause that is what Discord uses.

[mild token]

i want numbering above

[torn solar]

huh

hm

[mild token]

is there a way to do that?

[torn solar]

 - test2```

[mild token]

yeh how u did that

tnx

!d discord.ext.commands.hybrid_command

[unkempt canyon]

discord.ext.commands.hybrid\_command

@discord.ext.commands.hybrid_command(name=..., *, with_app_command=True, **attrs)```
A decorator that transforms a function into a [`HybridCommand`](https://discordpy.readthedocs.io/en/latest/ext/commands/api.html#discord.ext.commands.HybridCommand).

A hybrid command is one that functions both as a regular [`Command`](https://discordpy.readthedocs.io/en/latest/ext/commands/api.html#discord.ext.commands.Command) and one that is also a [`app_commands.Command`](https://discordpy.readthedocs.io/en/latest/interactions/api.html#discord.app_commands.Command).

The callback being attached to the command must be representable as an application command callback. Converters are silently converted into a [`Transformer`](https://discordpy.readthedocs.io/en/latest/interactions/api.html#discord.app_commands.Transformer) with a [`discord.AppCommandOptionType.string`](https://discordpy.readthedocs.io/en/latest/interactions/api.html#discord.AppCommandOptionType.string) type.

Checks and error handlers are dispatched and called as-if they were commands similar to [`Command`](https://discordpy.readthedocs.io/en/latest/ext/commands/api.html#discord.ext.commands.Command). This means that they take [`Context`](https://discordpy.readthedocs.io/en/latest/ext/commands/api.html#discord.ext.commands.Context) as a parameter rather than [`discord.Interaction`](https://discordpy.readthedocs.io/en/latest/interactions/api.html#discord.Interaction).

All checks added using the [`check()`](https://discordpy.readthedocs.io/en/latest/ext/commands/api.html#discord.ext.commands.check) & co. decorators are added into the function. There is no way to supply your own checks through this decorator.

New in version 2.0.

[torn solar]

i assumed thats what it does but why

😂 why would anyone want that

[torn solar]

try setting ur sync command up as a regular command

there's more but idk if you'll need it

oh wow normal app_command does not work either.

[mild token]

anyone have idea on this?

[upbeat otter]

just set it to something really random

and if you don't have any text commands there's no harm in setting the prefix

[timber dragon]

command_prefix can be set to an empty iterable like ()

But it won't stop listening no

[timber dragon]

1. with_app_command=true ? That's not valid syntax and the kwarg defaults to True anyways
2. Is that function in a class? If not, what is self doing there
3. You shouldn't have an open sync command and it's kinda weird to make it a global one that anyone in any server can run

Edit: looks like you moved to the discord.py server https://discord.com/channels/336642139381301249/1261965619478134877

Anyone know?

My bot ain’t replying at ALL

[slate swan]

Hello everyone

Do i have the right to ask someone if I can pay him to help me setup and continue the code of a discord bot pls ? I will also pay him every month to maintain and check if everything is okey . If anyone is interested pls let me know and have a good day everyone ❤️

[unkempt canyon]

Rules

9. Do not offer or ask for paid work of any kind.

[slate swan]

Ok sorry

[mild token]

how i can get the last message of a channel? i want to delete the last message of a channel

and which event is that which tells if someone edited a message or deleted it?

[wanton current]

https://discordpy.readthedocs.io/en/stable/search.html?q=last_message

[mild token]

If i copy command to my guild with bot command and if the same command is present in the guild will it's permission will get overwritten

By permission i meant the channel locking feature

[fast osprey]

What exactly do you mean by "copy command to my guild"?

[mild token]

self.tree.copy_global_to(guild=MY_GUILD) this thing

[midnight herald]

Im gonna take the chance to ask if im not interrupting anyone:
If i where to make it so the bot can take the values of a person’s command (lets say for example, a person writes down “Intelligence:14” the bot makes a temporary json and takes that intelligence 14 as a variable), what system (as in, discord.py?) and commands should i use if its possible? Im not aiming to save things in a database, but instead make it so users of the bot can temporarily assign values and after a while or using a command said values are deleted/rest.

[mild token]

is it possible to trigger a different command from a different command?

[slate swan]

Yes

[fast osprey]

You should not be calling commands yourself

if two things need to share logic, that should be abstracted into a simplified helper function

[fast osprey]

If you are persisting these values onto disk (and not just in memory in python), you absolutely should use a database. That is the correct tool, and trying to avoid it has serious consequences. Json is a data exchange format, not a persistence one

[midnight herald]

I mean, i should probs clarify what i meant: temporary values, nothing permanent. As in, im not looking to save these values anywhere, instead making it so these values are temporarily used, and thus, all the bot has to do is use command using said values until they are eventually discarded.

[fast osprey]

Then you can just keep them in memory no?

[midnight herald]

I mean, i dont really know what exactly you mean by memory, but if it means that the bot can run using said temporary values using the memory as long as it is using the variables specified by the user, then thats all i need. Sorry if im being annoying, im still getting the hang of how python mostly works in general regarding discord

[fast osprey]

No you're totally fine. By "in memory" I just mean variables/data structures in python yeah

[midnight herald]

Ah perfect! Then yeah. Basically i dont wanna use a database since im using kanka (a thing to make ttrpgs and stuff like that), so saving player data is not really needed, just all that is needed is to specify certain variables and thats it. After the bot is not being used, it does not save said data.
Hence why i asked if its possible in the first place to make it so the bot can specify the values the user specified in the command. Im not asking as a “how do i do it” but moreso “is it possible”, cuz if it is, then basically i can def make the bot

[fast osprey]

Yeah bots don't have any less capabilities than any other python program. You could put whatever values you wanted in a data structure and then access/modify them as needed as long as that program is running

[midnight herald]

Oh thats awsome! Thanks, you really helped alot! Ill keep studying it over here and if i need another clarification ill ask here again, thx!

[fast osprey]

gl

A common pattern is to set data structures (like dictionaries and such) as attributes on your bot object. That singular bot object lives for as long as the bot is operational and is generally accessible wherever you'd need it

[midnight herald]

Thats perfect. I do wanna take the chance to ask then: can the bot handle multiple objects of different users? As in for example, a rpg bot that can make turns. Is it possible to make it so the bot can tell what user inputed what values and thus manipulate them accordingly?

[fast osprey]

Yup, it would just be up to you to design a data structure that would accomplish what you needed. Spitballing, a dictionary of {user : <whatever>} is pretty common

[midnight herald]

Right! The <whatever> is basically what a value would be like correct? As in, if the user inputted charisma 10 and intelligence 10, then <charisma> and <intelligence> values shall become 10 respectively inside the user’s dictionary?

[fast osprey]

You'd probably want something more involved, such as a custom class with attributes you declare

[midnight herald]

I see. By custom class you mean multiple attributes in one?

[fast osprey]

General OOP principles. A class describes a Thing, including all the properties and methods of it. Such as a Character, in your case perhaps

[midnight herald]

Aaaaaa i see! So class basically means group of properties?

[fast osprey]

If you haven't worked with classes or done general OOP before, it would behoove you to do some focused learning. The official python docs have a good intro and there's plenty of material. This is a core fundamental principle of python, and advanced things like discord bots are built on top of it

[midnight herald]

Perfect, thx! Ill stop the questions for now cuz im a nerd and ill not stop if i continue😅 ill check the docs now!

[mild token]

this is my code above

i am using poetry

[slate swan]

so question what’s different between client.event and commands.command

[mild token]

if i make main async then it wont start

[fast osprey]

You don't need asyncio.run anywhere

[mild token]

to load cogs?

[fast osprey]

nope

make that async and just await

[mild token]

i need to then make main function async too

load cog is called inside load_extensions

and load exension inside run

and run is called inside main

if i make main async then i cant use poetry start script

[tool.poetry.scripts]
start = "afw_bot.main:main"

this is how i am starting

[fast osprey]

you don't need main to be async

[mild token]

def run dont need to be async?

[fast osprey]

Do you generally understand how asyncio works?

[mild token]

yes i do

[fast osprey]

So the function needs to be async if there are async calls in it

[mild token]

yes but if i make it all async then bot.run will also ask for await

[fast osprey]

No it won't

bot.run isn't a coroutine

[mild token]

    async def load_all_extensions(self):

        directory = Path('afw_bot/ext')
        for item in directory.rglob('*.py'):
            module_name = item.relative_to(directory).with_suffix(
                '').as_posix().replace('/', '.')
            if module_name.split('.')[-1].startswith('_'):
                continue
            await self.load_cog(f"afw_bot.ext.{module_name}")

    def run(self, *args, **kwargs):
        self.load_all_extensions()
        try:
            super().run(*args, **kwargs)
        except Exception as e:
            traceback.print_exception(e)
            log_message('CRITICAL', f"Login Failed\nReason: {e}")

see if i make load_all_extension async then only i can await load self.load_cog

and if i make load_all_extension async then i have to make run async because self.load_all_extension is getting called there which is async

[fast osprey]

If a function has an async call in it, make it async

[mild token]

i think i should load the extension on on_ready

[fast osprey]

no

[mild token]

then?

[fast osprey]

read what on_ready does

[mild token]

then where i should load my async extension function?

[fast osprey]

Wherever you want

[mild token]

i cant figure it out

[fast osprey]

It's unclear the ordering of what you want to happen here. Also why are you passing a string into load_cog?

I think you're probably overloading cogs and extensions

[mild token]

overloading?

[fast osprey]

These are two different terms which mean very different things

[mild token]

ext is my folder name under which cogs files are there

[fast osprey]

"cog file" isn't a thing

there are extensions, which are files that have a setup method which you load with load_extension

those extensions can have cogs in them, but they don't have to, and that's entirely up to the extension

[mild token]

just curious if i start my task at on_ready what can be implications of doing that?

[fast osprey]

Called when the client is done preparing the data received from Discord. Usually after login is successful and the [`Client.guilds`](https://discordpy.readthedocs.io/en/latest/api.html#discord.Client.guilds) and co. are filled up.

Warning

This function is not guaranteed to be the first event called. Likewise, this function is **not** guaranteed to only be called once. This library implements reconnection logic and thus will end up calling this event whenever a RESUME request fails.

[fast osprey]

Read the warning very carefully and it should be clear you do not want to use this

[mild token]

oh

then it can be called multiple times

is there any function which is called before guild is ready for sure

and only once it is called?

[fast osprey]

What do you mean by a guild being "ready"/

[mild token]

i mean before the client done preparing

[fast osprey]

There is setup_hook, which is an async method that is called by the library exactly once between login and connect

[finite salmon]

You can load the cogs in your setup_hook

[mild token]

aight i will load the extenison there then

I decided to try to make a bot available everywhere (user installation), I did it as needed using Tree.command(). As a result, on servers where there is a bot, everything works, but in messages and other servers it no longer works. How to fix?

Code:

import discord
from discord.ext import commands
from discord import app_commands
from tokenpy import TOKEN

bot = commands.Bot(command_prefix=None, intents=None)
group = app_commands.Group(name="action", description="actions")

@group.command(name="hug", description="Hug user")
@app_commands.user_install()
async def _hug(interaction: discord.Interaction, member: discord.Member):
    await interaction.response.send_message(f'{interaction.user.mention} hugged {member.mention} <3')

@group.command(name="kiss", description="Kiss")
async def _kiss(interaction: discord.Interaction, member: discord.Member):
    await interaction.response.send_message(f'{interaction.user.mention} Kissed {member.mention} ❤')

@group.command(name="hit", description="Hit")
@app_commands.user_install()
async def _hit(interaction: discord.Interaction, member: discord.Member):
    await interaction.response.send_message(f'{interaction.user.mention} hit {member.mention} ❤')

@group.command(name="send", description="Send messages")
@app_commands.user_install()
async def _send(interaction: discord.Interaction, mesg: str):
    await interaction.response.send_message(f'{mesg}')

@bot.event
async def on_ready():
    await bot.tree.sync()

bot.tree.add_command(group)
bot.run(TOKEN)

discord.py latest version, user install included

I basically need each of the options to take you to a certain channel. The stuff i have in there atm is mostly just placeholder code.

[boreal sigil]

@fast osprey

[fast osprey]

What do you mean by "take you to a certain channel"?

[boreal sigil]

Basically

if they press the rules button it takes them to the rules channel

[fast osprey]

interacting with components can't force a user's client to go somewhere else if that's what you mean

[boreal sigil]

or basically have a channel url and when they press it it takes them to that url then

[fast osprey]

You could send a message with a channel mention

[boreal sigil]

i swear ive seen menus which take you to channels-

[fast osprey]

But at that point why make them choose from a drop down when you could just have a list of channels

[boreal sigil]

tidiness

[fast osprey]

At the expense of having a user click two buttons instead of just one? Your call

[boreal sigil]

I’m tryna make this not take up my whole screen

and each of those buttons rn takes you to a channel

and im tryna change it for a dropdown menu

[fast osprey]

Then you'd have to do what I suggested

[boreal sigil]

alright

[boreal sigil]

lastly how can i make it not timeout

[fast osprey]

Set the timeout to None when creating the view

[willow sluice]

Im dont sure because didnt work with it but i guess you need to install this application for yourself. Check developer portal for more information about user installation

Im talking about connect your application to user not a guild

do you know

[dense falcon]

Any reason why this returns an error? the result array contains a user ID in the first of each Tuple contained, and the error occurs on the third line when fetching the user. I've tried using get_user however that seems to only return None even when I have the permission set up for Members intent.
The error in question:

Traceback (most recent call last):

    ret = await coro(*args, **kwargs)

The above exception was the direct cause of the following exception:

[fast osprey]

Where is this code being run?

[dense falcon]

Inside a cog using a hybrid command (is this what you meant)

[midnight oracle]

I don't understand, what do you mean

[willow sluice]

You did not show us the code but i am guessing that you are trying to get the user before the bot is started
Try to google first next time

https://stackoverflow.com/questions/75170830/client-fetch-channel-returns-attributeerror-missingsentinel-object-has-no

https://www.google.com/search?q=AttributeError%3A+'_MissingSentinel'+object+has+no+attribute+'is_set'&oq=AttributeError%3A+'_MissingSentinel'+object+has+no+attribute+'is_set'

[dense falcon]

I did google. I didn't get answers that worked. I tried all the solutions I could find. In fact, in my on_ready, there is a command to print when everything has loaded, and I run the command when this is done.

[willow sluice]

Send us a part of code that raises an error

[dense falcon]

i did, it's the screenshot below the error

[willow sluice]

damn :/ show more if you want to get help
It is impossible to understand the problem from two lines of code..

show the function that contains the above code and how you run the bot

[dense falcon]

alrighty but it's long and very messy

[willow sluice]

It sounds like you are currently deleting extra code so that someone does not steal it
Nobody needs it lol

[fast osprey]

Yeah more code is going to be helpful

[pseudo geode]

#help

#1262157686771023913

[dense falcon]

https://paste.pythondiscord.com/GKQA alr im hoping this covers it and i didnt miss anything

[willow sluice]

this code inside a ltest command, right?

[dense falcon]

yep

[fast osprey]

Please include all of the bot startup, minus your token

also you should very much not be doing anything you're doing in on_ready given how it behaves

!d discord.on_ready

[unkempt canyon]

discord.on\_ready

discord.on_ready()```
Called when the client is done preparing the data received from Discord. Usually after login is successful and the [`Client.guilds`](https://discordpy.readthedocs.io/en/latest/api.html#discord.Client.guilds) and co. are filled up.

Warning

[dense falcon]

Oh, I didnt think that it would cause problems when resuming as well

[pseudo geode]

#1262157686771023913

[fast osprey]

Generally all of that would be in the bot's setup_hook, minus the sync which you should not be doing automatically at all

[dense falcon]

Yeah I gathered it with the sync, it's just for testing purposes since I'm not launching the bot fully yet and need to make sure the commands are up-to-date. Haven't been rate-limited yet though afaik

[fast osprey]

And when you do get rate limited and you can't develop any more you'll probably wish you hadn't

[dense falcon]

sounds strict but i get it

[willow sluice]

_global_over is Missing by default so this is _MissingSentinel object
This is setting inside static_login method
static_login is called by the client's login method

so as i say before you got this error because bot are trying to get the user before the bot is started
idk how this is possible because if you able to call the command then the bot is 100% running

i need more code to determine what is wrong. you can show the demonstration of your code in discord btw

[dense falcon]

Can you elaborate? if you mean like running the command, it doesnt output anything in chat, just in the terminal (which gave the variables i printed and the error)

[timber dragon]

Getting that errors means you're doing an api request before the bot is even logged in

[timber dragon]

Are you defining another bot in one of your extensions

Instead of using the one that passed from setup to the class and added as an attribute called bot which would make it self.bot.fetch_user(...)

[dense falcon]

I have to define bot in each Cog, otherwise the code wont run. It works fine normally

[timber dragon]

Oh god don't do that

[dense falcon]

😳 ill try it

[timber dragon]

You should only have one bot instance throughout the whole project

[dense falcon]

I think im about to sound really thick

How could I pass bot to the cog 😭

[fast osprey]

That is the main point of extensions. To make the bot object available to external files

cogs really have nothing to do with that

[timber dragon]

Also fun fact: you're already passing it to the class
https://gist.github.com/Soheab/cf387b753da32eb02f3228c2e32bb03f
https://realpython.com/python3-object-oriented-programming/

[dense falcon]

oh crap

wait so what do i need to do differently then

im so lost in my own code 😭

[timber dragon]

Use the same instance as the one you pass to your class

Or ctx.bot / interaction.client works too

[dense falcon]

alrighty

[dense falcon]

Thank you so much it actually works now

[willow sluice]

Check dm maybe it will be useful for you

[dense falcon]

I saw, and I have fixed my mistakes

I was wondering why it wasnt working for 10 million years before I noticed it was fetch_member and not fetch_user, which I switched out when trying anything and everything

finally i can sleep

[pseudo geode]

#1262172729898041506

[vapid parcel]

I remember that Danny made a bot that does translations if I remember correctly.. does anyone have the link to that repo?

actually I found it I think.

[shrewd apex]

the i8n thing?

[wild gate]

Weird question, but anyways I want to create a discord bot that takes commands from users then takes those commands sends it to a python terminal thats waiting for those commands in a VM then runs those commands what would that look like this is the chatgpt response:

To achieve this, you can use a combination of a Discord bot to receive commands from users and a Python script running on your VM to execute those commands. Here's a high-level overview of how you can set this up:

Set Up a Discord Bot: Create a Discord bot that listens for commands in your server.
Receive and Parse Commands: Have the bot parse the commands and send them to your Python script running on the VM.
Execute Commands on the VM: The Python script on the VM executes the received commands.
Here's an example setup using discord.py for the Discord bot and a simple Python script to execute commands.

Step 1: Set Up a Discord Bot
Create a Discord Bot:

Go to the Discord Developer Portal.
Create a new application and add a bot to it.
Copy the bot token.
Install discord.py:

sh
Copy code
pip install discord.py
Create the Discord Bot Script:

python
Copy code
import discord
import requests

TOKEN = 'YOUR_DISCORD_BOT_TOKEN'
VM_URL = 'http://YOUR_VM_IP:5000/execute'

intents = discord.Intents.default()
intents.message_content = True
client = discord.Client(intents=intents)

@client.event
async def on_ready():
print(f'We have logged in as {client.user}')

@client.event
async def on_message(message):
if message.author == client.user:
return

if message.content.startswith('!execute'):
    command = message.content[len('!execute '):]
    response = requests.post(VM_URL, json={'command': command})

    if response.status_code == 200:
        await message.channel.send(f'Command executed: {command}')
    else:
        await message.channel.send(f'Failed to execute command: {command}')

client.run(TOKEN)
Step 2: Set Up the Python Script on the VM
Create a Simple Flask API to Receive Commands:

Install Flask:

sh
Copy code
pip install flask
Create the Flask API:

python
Copy code
from flask import Flask, request, jsonify
import subprocess

app = Flask(name)

@app.route('/execute', methods=['POST'])
def execute_command():
data = request.get_json()
command = data.get('command')

try:
    result = subprocess.check_output(command, shell=True, stderr=subprocess.STDOUT, text=True)
    return jsonify({'result': result})
except subprocess.CalledProcessError as e:
    return jsonify({'error': str(e.output)}), 400

if name == 'main':
app.run(host='0.0.0.0', port=5000)
Run the Flask API:

sh
Copy code
python path_to_your_flask_script.py
Step 3: Testing
Start your Flask server on the VM.

Run your Discord bot.

In your Discord server, use the !execute command to send commands to the VM:

plaintext
Copy code
!execute echo Hello, World!
The bot should respond with the result of the command.

Security Considerations
Authentication: Add authentication to the Flask API to ensure only authorized requests are processed.
Command Sanitization: Sanitize commands to prevent injection attacks.
HTTPS: Use HTTPS for communication between the bot and the Flask server.
This setup provides a basic framework for executing commands on a VM based on user input from a Discord server. You can expand and customize it based on your specific requirements.

yeah idk

no one is responding to that shit
