How can I catch all errors for AsyncIOMotorClient?

Motor

[formal basin]

How can I reduce Memory usage on my discord bot its in 1,040 guilds

[stark ingot]

Disabling caches that you do not need as an option. IE if you do not need to use get_member often you can disable the member cache

I believe that is a Bot argument

[formal basin]

How can I disable it?

[glad cradle]

!d discord.Intents.members

[unkempt canyon]

discord.Intents.members

Whether guild member related events are enabled.

This corresponds to the following events...

[glad cradle]

disable this intent

[formal basin]

but i think I need it

[glad cradle]

then you can't cut on that

you could disable guild chunked at startup

[formal basin]

how?

[glad cradle]

uhm

idk if you can in d.py

[stark ingot]

https://discordpy.readthedocs.io/en/stable/api.html?highlight=client#discord.Client
member_cache_flags can allow for control over how much you need

even if you still use it

max_messages is another option but generally you dont want to disable it entirely

[formal basin]

wdym control?

[stark ingot]

Im not sure, I just know there are settings you can changes to not entirely disable it but to make it take up less memory. You can find more on the docs. I have not personally used it just have seen it mentioned

[formal basin]

Yeah but like what does max_messages do?

like how many max messages the bot can read?

[glad cradle]

you pass an int to denote how much messages to cache at the same time

[stark ingot]

It changes how many messages the bot is allowed to store in cache. It is set to 1000 by default

[glad cradle]

e.g 1000, only 1000 messages will be cached, if another message is cached the oldest is removed to make space for the new message

[formal basin]

ill try

that

[stark ingot]

It will most likely not have as much of an impact as doing stuff with members as the member counts will be much greater than 1000

[formal basin]

is this an int too?

[stark ingot]

No, the docs show the object that you have to pass to it which i think is just a group of settings

[formal basin]

also

how can I shard my discord bot

also

I get 2024-09-06 17:02:58 WARNING discord.gateway WebSocket in shard ID 0 is ratelimited, waiting 21.70 seconds this all the time it sends it like 5-10 times

before the bot starts up

Also everytime I startup my bot

it shows this

server leave server: `````` owner: None

in my logs

Is it possible to allow tenor links to the discord's automod? For example triggering any other links but not the tenor gifs that discord uses.
regex = r"^(?!https:\/\/tenor\.com\/view\/[\w\-]+-gif-\d+).*" Tried this, but i receive an assertion error if i use ?! to handle negative lookahead...

Purpose:

• Triggering any links, excepting tenor gifs that discord has.

[slate swan]

Don't think that's the right URL in the first place

[dense scaffold]

Could be possible... was testing multiple ways...

[slate swan]

When selecting a GIF and sending it, it's being sent via Discord's CDN

Example:
https://images-ext-1.discordapp.net/external/MzYSek_ukQ4R35_1oaFRRODFWUYHQ4YcHaKBXv5djR4/https/media.tenor.com/tNfwApVE9RAAAAPo/orange-cat-laughing.mp4

[dense scaffold]

uh

Not so sure...

[slate swan]

https://tenor.com/view/kermit-the-frog-sipping-tea-none-of-my-business-sip-sipping-gif-5051710

[slate swan]

Sent that via the GIF chooser

ah nvm, it's not always

[dense scaffold]

If you copy messages, yes, it will be attached to discord, but when sent it will still be a tenor gif

[slate swan]

or just client sided i guess

[dense scaffold]

Do you know a proper fix for this?

cause discord doesn't allow ?!

[slate swan]

how do i get the little hashtag channel thing into my select menu?

^ like so

[wanton current]

it's an emoji

[slate swan]

you sure? i tried it using the default one

[wanton current]

it's probably a custom emoji

[glad cradle]

this is a channel select

!d discord.ui.ChannelSelect

[unkempt canyon]

discord.ui.ChannelSelect

class discord.ui.ChannelSelect(*, custom_id=..., channel_types=..., placeholder=None, min_values=1, max_values=1, disabled=False, row=None, default_values=...)```
Represents a UI select menu with a list of predefined options with the current channels in the guild.

Please note that if you use this in a private message with a user, no channels will be displayed to the user.

New in version 2\.1\.

[young dagger]

datetime.datetime.utcnow() is deprecated and scheduled for removal in a future version. Use timezone-aware objects to represent datetimes in UTC: datetime.datetime.now(datetime.UTC).

What else should I use? What's most common to use

[austere heart]

as in the message, datetime.datetime.now(datetime.UTC).

[wanton current]

discord.utils.utcnow exists

[young dagger]

Which one is more recommended? datetime.datetime.now(datetime.UTC) vs discord.utils.utcnow

[wanton current]

they do the same thing https://github.com/Rapptz/discord.py/blob/master/discord/utils.py#L781

[unkempt canyon]

discord/utils.py line 781

return datetime.datetime.now(datetime.timezone.utc)```

[sick birch]

they're functionally the same but the former is more common so it's obvious to a reader what it does at a glance (without having to look at documentation or reference)

[wanton current]

is .utcnow() not obvious

[sick birch]

i feel like it could be confused with the deprecated datetime.datetime.utcnow()

[wanton current]

¯_(ツ)_/¯

[young dagger]

Thanks guys

Is there any easier way to do this?

    await self.counter_collection.find_one_and_update(
        {"_id": "case_counter"},
        {"$inc": {"count": 1}}
    )

    counter_doc = await self.counter_collection.find_one({"_id": "case_counter"})
    return counter_doc["count"]

I want to avoid importing ReturnDocument from pymongo

If possible

So that I can solely relay on AsyncIOMotorClient

[sick birch]

i'm not seeing where pymongo.ReturnDocument is being used

[young dagger]

Well this is what I'm using currently

    async def get_case_id(self):
        counter_doc = await self.counter_collection.find_one_and_update(
            {"_id": "case_counter"},
            {"$inc": {"count": 1}},
            return_document=ReturnDocument.AFTER
        )
        return counter_doc["count"]

[sick birch]

i don't see a way around it if you need that field

[young dagger]

I want to increase the value and return it

That's it

[young dagger]

Do you have any idea how I can add exceptions for the database calls? @sick birch

I'm using AsyncIOMotorClient

[sick birch]

this seems out of scope for this channel, not sure i can help as i don't use mongo. sorry

[hard kite]

Uhm get_guild and fetch_guild will only get the guild where the bot is in right?

[golden portal]

ye

[sly hamlet]

So looking through this there seems to be an issue with annotation. I have looked at it and do not see anything that's different from any other of my files I've rewritten the annotation but still unable to figure out what's causing the error. Any thoughts?

https://codeshare.io/DAnnyp

[golden portal]

what error

show the error

[sly hamlet]

It's at the bottom of the code

[golden portal]

slash commands requires you to set a typehint on your arguments, on line 16, your args is not typehinted

[mint pecan]

How do i get the selected option in a SelectMenu?

[sick birch]

!d discord.ui.Select.value

[unkempt canyon]

I'm sorry Dave, I'm afraid I can't do that.

No documentation found for the requested symbol.

[sick birch]

Oh it’s values

!d discord.ui.Select.values

[unkempt canyon]

discord.ui.Select.values

property values```
A list of values that have been selected by the user.

[mint pecan]

how do i know what is the latest one

[golden portal]

the values will always be the latest one, it gets updated as soon as it gets a new data

[mint pecan]

oh

[hard kite]

so i cant access the info of guild the bot isnt joined?

[formal basin]

Does not caching my members mess around with like GET member and stuff like that

[golden portal]

nop

[formal basin]

!paste

[unkempt canyon]

Pasting large amounts of code

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

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

[hard kite]

That's sad

[mint pecan]

im getting ```
discord.ext.commands.errors.CommandInvokeError: Command raised an exception: HTTPException: 400 Bad Request (error code: 50035): Invalid Form Body
In components.0.components.0.options: This field is required

from this select class
```py
class Select(ui.Select):
    def __init__(self, bot: commands.Bot):
        super().__init__(
            placeholder='test',
            options=[
                discord.SelectOption(label=i)
                for i, v in bot.cogs.items()
            ]
        )
        self.bot = bot

what could be the issue?

[timber dragon]

You sure that bot.cogs dict isn't empty?

[dense scaffold]

That means you're missing a field, (can't be empty)

[mint pecan]

yes

[timber dragon]

How?

[mint pecan]

what is a field?

[dense scaffold]

Ensure that bot.cogs.items() is returning valid items.

[mint pecan]

yes its valid i checked it before

[dense scaffold]

I doubt if you get that issue

class Select(ui.Select):
    def __init__(self, bot: commands.Bot):
        options = [
            discord.SelectOption(label=i)
            for i, v in bot.cogs.items()
        ]
        if not options:  # Ensure there is at least one option
            options = [discord.SelectOption(label='No cogs available')]

        super().__init__(
            placeholder='test',
            options=options
        )
        self.bot = bot

Still, bot.cogs.items() will return empty

[timber dragon]

options = [...] or [discord.SelectOption(...)] works too

[dense scaffold]

and also make sure that there is at least one option in the Select component.

[dense scaffold]

Yeah, just an example to ensure there's always 1

Won't fix they're issue, because bot.cogs.items() will be empty

That's what causes the HTTPException

Also i don't really like d.py, how they work with views, i prefer disnake.

[timber dragon]

That's what that does

Fallback to a list with one entry if the other list is falsey (empty)

[dense scaffold]

Yeah but if bot.cogs.items() it's empty still won't fix they're issue

[dense scaffold]

Yeah, i understood, and you're right.

[dense scaffold]

.

That was a fallback example to ensure there's atleast 1 option

[timber dragon]

Fair

[dense scaffold]

I believe they are trying to get they're cogs?

[timber dragon]

The class is either somehow constructed before any cogs are added or they aren't using cogs yes

[dense scaffold]

print(bot.cogs.items())
@mint pecan

[mint pecan]

bot.cogs returns a empty dict in the class but in other scope it does return a dict with cogs

[timber dragon]

How and where is that class constructed?

[mint pecan]

i just make a view and add the selectmenu to the view then send a message with the view included

[dense scaffold]

It's obvious already, ensure that bog.cogs.items() it's not empty, i cannot help you with your internal code, we don't know it.

[timber dragon]

Where exactly?

Maybe just send that code

[dense scaffold]

Oh, was the bot completely up? This could be a issue if you invoke the command before the bot being run

[mint pecan]

bot initialaztion

[timber dragon]

And where do you load your extensions?

[mint pecan]

setup hook

[timber dragon]

Is this class constructed before or after that?

[dense scaffold]

class Select(ui.Select):
    def __init__(self, bot: commands.Bot):
        # only set placeholder here, leave options empty for now
        super().__init__(placeholder='test', options=[])
        self.bot = bot

    async def callback(self, interaction: discord.Interaction):
        # this will be called when the menu is interacted with.
        # lazily load options only when needed
        self.options = [
            discord.SelectOption(label=i)
            for i, v in self.bot.cogs.items()
        ]
        if not self.options:  # handle the case if no cogs are loaded
            self.options = [discord.SelectOption(label='No cogs available')]

        # now do something with the interaction and options
        await interaction.response.send_message(f'Selected cog: {self.values[0]}')

[mint pecan]

before, but i also tried to put it on on_ready and it does the same

[timber dragon]

Mayhe construct it after the extensions are loaded?

[mint pecan]

how do i know its loaded

[timber dragon]

Why is at bot init anyways

[dense scaffold]

@bot.event
async def on_ready():
    print(f"Bot is ready! Cogs loaded: {bot.cogs.keys()}")

[timber dragon]

After the loop ig?

for x in y:
    ...

# y is all iterated through 

[dense scaffold]

simplify with on ready event 😭

[timber dragon]

They need to construct the class after, not print something

[dense scaffold]

they said this

[timber dragon]

And on_ready shouldn't be used for that anyways

As it can be called multiple times and while running

[dense scaffold]

????

[dense scaffold]

How so?

[timber dragon]

Because i asked this #discord-bots message

[timber dragon]

Read the docs

discord can call the event multiple times

[dense scaffold]

How is on_ready running multiple times?

[timber dragon]

Welp

[dense scaffold]

snipy here

[timber dragon]

I just said why?

[dense scaffold]

[timber dragon]

https://discordpy.readthedocs.io/en/stable/api.html#discord.on_ready see the warning

[glad cradle]

tl;dr discord can disconnect your bot and the library have reconnection logic, on_ready could be called again in that context

[dense scaffold]

Ahhhh, but never against this lol

[glad cradle]

if you want something that is called only once you should use setup_hook (d.py) or in disnake you can subclass the client that you are using and edit the start method to call a custom made method

[dense scaffold]

You know i use disnake 😭

And it's not me having issue here, it's @mint pecan with cogs, but they use d.py

[glad cradle]

or if you don't use .run you just need to call it in your main.py

[dense scaffold]

^^

[timber dragon]

Thank you Snipy whoever you are that they trusted you over me lol

[dense scaffold]

Cause we friends 😭

[timber dragon]

Aha

[dense scaffold]

I didn't know this on_ready thing, never happened to log multiple twice on run

[glad cradle]

[dense scaffold]

eitherway, we don't do actions on_ready, task util ready

on_ready has just a log info

So i still don't see this being a issue

[dense scaffold]

Says just client is ready, that's it

[timber dragon]

Sure it's not an issue for you

But most people load their exts etc in it which can lead to errors

[dense scaffold]

and he said this^

Doesn't mean they have to keep the event

[timber dragon]

#discord-bots message

[dense scaffold]

Oh i didn't ready 😭

[timber dragon]

They might construct the view in on_ready because you said that

[dense scaffold]

@mint pecan Hope you didn't understand that from my context, on_ready shouldn't be used for any actions.

[glad cradle]

It can be used for some actions, you just need to be aware of the fact that it's potentially not called once (and so don't rely on that)

[dense scaffold]

yeah not recommended

Would rather make a task, wait till ready

[timber dragon]

Or an if-statement with a botvar etc yes

[dense scaffold]

i clean db entries like that

[timber dragon]

Same

[glad cradle]

I use txt files as db... we're not the same 🥱 /j

[dense scaffold]

💀

[dense scaffold]

100% sure you remember, but don't burn your memory

[timber dragon]

Absolute 💀 moment

[dense scaffold]

😭

[glad cradle]

/j = joking

[timber dragon]

at least use json /s

[dense scaffold]

lies! 👀

[mint pecan]

well i got another error when i try to pass the bot class

AttributeError: 'ProactorEventLoop' object has no attribute '_closed'

            ]
        )
        self.bot = bot

[timber dragon]

Pretty sure it means "just better" /j

[glad cradle]

lmfao

[dense scaffold]

Why are you even printing the bot?

[mint pecan]

i forgot to clean it up

[timber dragon]

Uh don't do that anyways

[mint pecan]

the field error remains the same

yet i got another one

[dense scaffold]

I am pretty sure the issue doesn't come from this

[timber dragon]

You can access your bot from self.context.bot
The help command class takes some options and that'll cause issues when the lib tries to construct it

tldr: remove the __init__

[glad cradle]

could you share the full traceback?

[mint pecan]

i tried to remove the bot parameter from the helpcommand class and the error disappeared

[dense scaffold]

It's a atr error from ProactorEventLoop, I don't even see it there

[glad cradle]

[glad cradle]

bro stop yapping, that's asyncio internals

that's what atr error says 👀

[timber dragon]

Doesn't matter anyways

holy shit bro this solved all the errors tysm

Is it possible to allow tenor links to the discord's automod? For example triggering any other links but not the tenor gifs that discord uses.
regex = r"^(?!https:\/\/tenor\.com\/view\/[\w\-]+-gif-\d+).*" Tried this, but i receive an assertion error if i use ?! to handle negative lookahead...
Purpose:

@timber dragon Do you know anything about this?

discord doesn't allow ?! chars for negative lookahead :/

crap

nobody knows 😭

[timber dragon]

Have you tried the disnake server?

I know regex a little bit but not discord's automod

[dense scaffold]

Yeh, snipy replied, but it's not even that related to disnake... it's what discord supports...

[timber dragon]

Bruh

[dense scaffold]

but snipy doesn't know for sure what discord accepts as regexes

I did open a post there now, hoping to get a proper reply, if someone knows how to make a negative lookahead over tenor...

[timber dragon]

Discord devs server? .gg/discord-developers

[dense scaffold]

I did not try there

I am not in that server from this acc, Can you send me a invite in dms?

[timber dragon]

Can we not send invites here discord.gg/discord-developers

Works

[dense scaffold]

Oh i didn't know lol

thanks 😄

[timber dragon]

[dense scaffold]

made a post there

Let's see

[timber dragon]

https://discord.com/channels/613425648685547541/1281942203303985204 damn someone responded immediately

[dense scaffold]

Yeah... not the asnwer i expected...

But it's a way to bypass still

to not use regex

had hope this could of been done with regex 😭

just realised it wont fix this issue

nvm

[glad cradle]

what they suggested is still regex, the solution you were looking for could have been overcomplicated

[dense scaffold]

They said blocked words...

regexing words, not an actual regex handling them all, with just 1 regex... But yeah, i tested it does work

[sly hamlet]

Isn't that what none is supposed to be?

[glad cradle]

that's just a default value

you may want str | None ? also i think you didn't got app commands quite right, they can't accept any arbitrary number of arguments (like prefixed commands) you need to define every single argument that you need in the signature, you could make some of them optional tho

[main socket]

When doing a User invite , for a discord bot. Is it pretty much just an automation tool for a discord account ?

[glad cradle]

wdym?

[sly hamlet]

So I need to add str = None

[glad cradle]

most likely a union str | None or Union[str, None]

[glad cradle]

read the other part tho

[sly hamlet]

I did. These commands are nowhere near done. I'm in the process of converting them from a generalized prefix over app commands

[glad cradle]

I see

[sly hamlet]

That goes up next to the args = None correct?

[young dagger]

What is wrong?

[sly hamlet]

Okay I see what I did now wrong. Thank you

[slate swan]

thanks! however, i cant define the channels that i want to put in there? or how do i do that?

[glad cradle]

you can't, use a string select for that

[slate swan]

then how do i get that beautiful # like i showed u yesterday?

[glad cradle]

for string selects you can't, that's how the discord client displays channels for channel selects

you could try to find a custom emoji similar to that

[slate swan]

i think that the menu i showed u isnt a channel select bc it only shows hiring/hireable channels rather than all channels

hey everyone this is my current bot for my server -- I have two questions, first how can I make it so it only sends the message if I say it? and second how do I make it link to a chanel, I tried to do #buy (which is a valid chanel in my server), but it didn't work

[stark ingot]

You can limit what types of channels will show but not what specific channels will show
https://discord.com/developers/docs/resources/channel#channel-object-channel-types

[stark ingot]

You can check if message.author.id is the same as your user ID
Also you can mention a channel like this #discord-bots [#discord-bots](/guild/267624335836053506/channel/343944376055103488/) where that is the channel ID.
Also in general you should probably use discord.ext.commands for creating commands instead of processing the string yourself but if this is just a small project that is up to you if you do not want to bother.

[tender bobcat]

you can obtain the channel id from message from message.channel.id

[unreal flare]

I apperciate it bro

[stark ingot]

link to a chanel
They do not want the same channel as the message

[tender bobcat]

ah

(I didn't thought it was literally a URL link but a relation between

[unreal flare]

something like this or am I doing it wrong

[tender bobcat]

umm, how many language you mixed together?

[stark ingot]

other than your syntax being wrong yes

[unreal flare]

I normally code in c# so that might explain it

like this?

[wanton current]

1. don't use parenthesis
2. id are ints
3. no colon after return

[unreal flare]

gotcha thanks

any idea on how I can get my author id?

[tender bobcat]

1273475167976423577

[stark ingot]

do you have developer mode on discord?

[tender bobcat]

here you go

[unreal flare]

no how do you turn that on?

[tender bobcat]

you would go to Setting -> Advanced -> Developer Mode

[stark ingot]

https://support.discord.com/hc/en-us/articles/206346498-Where-can-I-find-my-User-Server-Message-ID

[tender bobcat]

and set it on

[stark ingot]

This article explains it all

[unreal flare]

1273475167976423577

[tender bobcat]

and right click on your user and click copy id

[unreal flare]

i got it thanks

[tender bobcat]

tbf, where the colon come after return come from (I mean which programming language

[slate swan]

how do i return the message id of a message i sent?
await interaction.response.send_message(content=":clock3: Denying post...", ephemeral=True)

context: message after hitting submit on a modal

[unreal flare]

no idea I just don't know how to code in python assumed you do it like that

[tender bobcat]

you would get the message for the send statement and get the message id

[unreal flare]

this doesn't seem to be working -- I keep getting the error "'str' object has no attribute 'author'" does anyone mind helping me

[slate swan]

how tho? i am trying to put it in a variable but the variable stays "None"
waitmessage = await interaction.response.send_message(content="🕒 Denying post...", ephemeral=True)

[wanton current]

send_message doesn't return a Message

[tender bobcat]

!d discord.InteractionResponse.send_message

[unkempt canyon]

discord.InteractionResponse.send\_message

await send_message(content=None, *, embed=..., embeds=..., file=..., files=..., view=..., tts=False, ephemeral=False, allowed_mentions=..., suppress_embeds=False, silent=False, delete_after=None, poll=...)```
This function is a [*coroutine*](https://docs.python.org/3/library/asyncio-task.html#coroutine).

Responds to this interaction by sending a message.

[tender bobcat]

oh, then

!d discord.Interaction.message

[wanton current]

https://discordpy.readthedocs.io/en/latest/interactions/api.html?highlight=interactionresponse#discord.Interaction.original_response

[unkempt canyon]

discord.Interaction.message

The message that sent this interaction.

This is only available for InteractionType.component interactions.

[slate swan]

doesn't seem to show how to get id

[tender bobcat]

or that

[slate swan]

damn im stupid lol i cna just edit original response since i didnt defer

[unreal flare]

any help, sorry for bumping it

[tender bobcat]

did you re-assign message to anything else?

[unreal flare]

no

[tender bobcat]

is message discord.Message?

[unreal flare]

im assuming

should I do

discord.message.author.id

[tender bobcat]

provide the code

for more context

[wanton current]

this doesn't work in OOP

[unreal flare]

import random
import os


def get_response(message: str) -> str:
    person_message = message.lower()

    if "website" in person_message:
        return "**Official airpodgate site  [privacy]**"


    if "buy" in person_message:
        return "**you can purchase by opening a ticket at #buy or visiting [privacy]**"
    
    if "exec vendor" in person_message:
        
        if message.author.id == 1273475167976423577:

        response = get_response(user_message)
        await message.author.send(

    else:
        await send_message(message, user_message, is_private=False)


client.run(TOKEN)```

[tender bobcat]

message: str

[unreal flare]

wdym?

[tender bobcat]

it is not discord.Message, so obviously you cannot

[unreal flare]

oh I see

[tender bobcat]

look at line6

[wanton current]

also, would really recommend looking into commands framework if you're looking to create commands instead of doing all of the logic yourself

[unreal flare]

nah because I don't want it to be a command

[tender bobcat]

?

[unreal flare]

I own a server and a lot of people have issues I guess reading on how to buy -- so when they say "how do I buy" or something like that then the bot guides them there

[tender bobcat]

but it is already a command

[tender bobcat]

ah

[unreal flare]

no sorry, you might be confused -- I don't want it to be a command I just want it to reply if they say something

[unreal flare]

yeah -- so wait what exactly am I doing wrong so I learn for the future

[tender bobcat]

give discord.Message to the function, not str

[unreal flare]

so

def get_response(message: discord.Message) -> str:
person_message = message.lower()

or def get_response(message: discord.Message) -> discord.Message:
person_message = message.lower()

[main socket]

When your inviting/ adding a bot there’s an option between guild invite or user invite

[tender bobcat]

it is not automation tool for a discord account, it is just you are able to use the bot user installable slash command in anywhere, even if it is in other people dm/group or server without the bot

*ignore the dm/group part, it is not possible actually

[hushed galleon]

it should be, you just have to explicitly set it in your command's allowed contexts

[dapper cobalt]

is it possible to append a parameter in a command to the command's check parameters?
for illustration, this is my command's code:

@commands.command()
@has_profile()
async def profile(self, ctx, member: disnake.Member = None):

and this is my check's code:

def has_profile():
    async def predicate(ctx, member: disnake.Member = None):
        member = member or ctx.author

        data = PROFILES.find_one({"_id": str(member.id)})

        if not data:
            raise NoProfileFound(member)
        else:
            return True

    return check(predicate)

Apparently, the member in the command's parameter isn't passed to the check, so it returns member as None which is default. I want to pass the member passed in the command to the check.

[glad cradle]

!d discord.ext.commands.Context.args you can use this to access the member object that was passed to the command

[unkempt canyon]

discord.ext.commands.Context.args

The list of transformed arguments that were passed into the command. If this is accessed during the on_command_error() event then this list could be incomplete.

[tender bobcat]

Well, isn't the only allow additional context user_install (then the default context)? that work for me in other server/the bot pm, but not other pm/group

[hushed galleon]

er, there are two types of contexts, installation contexts and interaction contexts
https://discord.com/developers/docs/interactions/application-commands#contexts

in the case of d.py, they're available with the slightly confusing names @allowed_contexts() and @allowed_installs()

you need both the PRIVATE_CHANNEL interaction context and the USER_INSTALL installation context for a command to be available in other DMs, after being user-installed

[tender bobcat]

hmm

but:

By default, contexts includes all interaction context types.
Need to check if dpy feature the toggle of options

[hushed galleon]

ergh, the discord API docs are incorrect

i made an issue for it a couple weeks ago discord/discord-api-docs#7108

[lament depot]

GitHub

[discord-api-docs] #7108 Default installation/interaction contexts do not match documentation

[tender bobcat]

ah

!d discord.app_commands.allowed_contexts

[unkempt canyon]

discord.app\_commands.allowed\_contexts

@discord.app_commands.allowed_contexts(guilds=..., dms=..., private_channels=...)```
A decorator that indicates this command can only be used in certain contexts. Valid contexts are guilds, DMs and private channels.

This is **not** implemented as a [`check()`](https://discordpy.readthedocs.io/en/latest/interactions/api.html#discord.app_commands.check), and is instead verified by Discord server side.

Due to a Discord limitation, this decorator does nothing in subcommands and is ignored.

New in version 2\.4\.

Examples...

[tender bobcat]

lol

[hushed galleon]

from my testing the defaults were always GUILDS + BOT_DM and GUILD_INSTALL

[tender bobcat]

Gonna fix my bot later and sync later

if I remember

(Would be trolling if you can use anywhere except bot dm

[hushed galleon]

the CommandTree can let you assign defaults for all commands via the allowed_contexts= and allowed_installs= parameters, though if you use a plain commands.Bot you'll have to assign to the attributes instead, which are technically undocumented

[tender bobcat]

Still just gonna use the decorator, too lazy

that what I do for user_install anyway

[tender bobcat]

hope they fix the feature instead of fixing the docs, but well

[hollow kiln]

How can i host discord bot in phone anyone can help me?

[slate swan]

not a good idea

[zenith pilot]

can I host a discord bot for free ?

[viscid hornet]

!hosting

[unkempt canyon]

Discord Bot Hosting

Using free hosting options like repl.it or Heroku for continuous 24/7 bot hosting is strongly discouraged.
Instead, opt for a virtual private server (VPS) or use your own spare hardware if you'd rather not pay for hosting.

See our Discord Bot Hosting Guide on our website that compares many hosting providers, both free and paid.

You may also use #965291480992321536 to discuss different discord bot hosting options.

[slate swan]

no, free services have limitations so get a vps for like $2 a month and you're good

[dry orbit]

heh

lvl up karte raho

[zenith pilot]

how many bots can I host w that ?

[slate swan]

one or more

[dry orbit]

how to level up so that i can talk in vc

[slate swan]

depends the bots, servers, intents, etc.

[slate swan]

by talking

[zenith pilot]

oh

[dry orbit]

talking here ?

[slate swan]

anywhere in the server

[dry orbit]

but no one is active here

[slate swan]

because it's a topical help channel, and there are not people needing help 24/7

[dry orbit]

hmm

you do coding ?

[slate swan]

#python-discussion, #ot1-perplexing-regexing and #ot2-never-nester’s-nightmare are usually active

[slate swan]

wouldn't be here if not

[dry orbit]

hehe

nice one 😉

[zenith pilot]

I am newbie 😦

[dry orbit]

🙂

[zenith pilot]

in development

[dry orbit]

hehe same

[zenith pilot]

yea I can tell

[dry orbit]

development like what ?

[dry orbit]

do you know BASH

[zenith pilot]

making any projects

[dry orbit]

scripting ?

[dry orbit]

app development , web development , ai deve. etc ?

[zenith pilot]

we should only talk about discord bot related contents here

[dry orbit]

oh

[slate swan]

not scripting anything with it, just using the normal commands

[dry orbit]

how much time it will take to learn BASH ?

for kali linux

[slate swan]

few days, as you can't do much with it

i mostly have seen it being used to automate the build and release of softwares

other than the basic commands e.g. ls etc. that are used every day by lots of people

[dry orbit]

!user

[unkempt canyon]

You are not allowed to use that command here. Please use the #bot-commands channel instead.

[paper forge]

can somone help me to make a moderation discord bot

[shadow loom]

discloud is pretty good ig

[mint pecan]

does View class have an attribute where i can access the context/interaction?

[sick birch]

no, that's only accessible from within a callback associated with that view

[mint pecan]

im getting TypeError: help_command must be a subclass of HelpCommand
trying to set custom help command

class HelpCommand(commands.MinimalHelpCommand):
    ...

bot = Bot(command_prefix=..., intents=..., help_command=HelpCommand)

how do i fix?

[formal basin]

Can a bot read very long messages?

[slate swan]

why not

[golden portal]

it needs to be an instance, help_command=HelpCommand()

[mint pecan]

my selectmenu's callback succeeded but it still says "This interaction failed"?

[stark ingot]

How are you responding to the interaction? My guess it that you are sending a message instead of responding. Can you show your callback

[mint pecan]

i used interaction.message.edit

[stark ingot]

are you using discord.py?

[mint pecan]

yes

[stark ingot]

You need to use interaction.response.edit_message instead
https://discordpy.readthedocs.io/en/stable/interactions/api.html#discord.InteractionResponse.edit_message

[mint pecan]

it fixed it thanks

[slate swan]

since my query is complex i made a thread, but can anybody help me? #1282343500129501255

[drifting arrow]

Doesnt this also require the original message id? so you'd also need to supply it with interaction.message.id?

pretty sure it does anyway.

[stark ingot]

It does not because the bot has this information cached

[wispy swift]

how can i interact with a button with python?

Like, i put in a message id and i interact with a button

[copper flume]

My bot didn't respond for maybe 30minutes I don't know why and I got these logs

[slate swan]

You have code that is blocking your bot

https://discordpy.readthedocs.io/en/stable/faq.html#what-does-blocking-mean

[copper flume]

I don't use time.sleep() or requests

[slate swan]

It can be lots of other things

Those are just the most common and examples

[copper flume]

my bot had uptime for 10 days and didn't face issues but got this for 3 days of uptime

[copper flume]

could that be for joining vcs in loops, low ram?

[scarlet tiger]

It is better if you post your problem here or open a post in #1035199133436354600

[drifting arrow]

Probably because duration_seconds is a string? Try print(type(duration_seconds)) if it's a straight number, then just do int(duration_seconds) > 1814400

[young dagger]

Already solved

Thanks @drifting arrow

[drifting arrow]

Alright. Thanks. Wanna share with the class what the issue was?

[young dagger]

It was actually from somewhere else in the code

[drifting arrow]

I thought so as the error didnt match the code itself. But I just woke up so I didn't want to pry too hard :D

[slate swan]

Ho chat

So I user installed my bot

How do I use the commands

[hushed galleon]

with nextcord? looking through their docs it doesnt seem like they support setting interaction and installation contexts for slash commands yet, only in master branch

[slate swan]

BREH

So can I use discord.py in a cog

But use next cord in the main.py

[hushed galleon]

you can't install both libraries together, they share the same package and will overwrite each other's files

or more specifically nextcord comes with both a nextcord and discord package, the latter of which is a copy to help people with migrating from dpy to nextcord

No such file

[potent spear]

Happened to me when I used powershell instead of command prompt
I’m not exactly sure what causes this, but powershell is said to be superior

You see PS written before your file path? You most likely want to get rid of that, click the + arrow on the terminal and select command prompt, that should work

[smoky sinew]

no

powershell is better

[potent spear]

Yup it is definitely better, I blame myself for not knowing it better

[potent spear]

What do you recommend for this instance?

[smoky sinew]

the issue is due to the file name not being correct

[sick birch]

is there a bot.py file in the discordbot folder

[smoky sinew]

and you can run all command prompt commands in power shell

[potent spear]

Yup, for some reason, I still get this error as well when my file name is correctly existing in the respective directory but powershell doesn’t recognise it

[sick birch]

can you send a screenshot of your file explorer inside that folder?

[potent spear]

Not on pc atm 😅

[void whale]

yes

[sick birch]

you should rename it to bot.py

Can ctx.guild.icon.with_format('png').url be directly used as an emoji in Discord buttons?

[dense scaffold]

I doubt, But why doing that when you can literally use the emoji format directly?

await ctx.send(
    "Click this button!",
    components=[
        Button(style=ButtonStyle.primary, label="Guild Button", emoji="<:emoji_name:emoji_id>")
    ]
)

or <a:name:id> if emoji is animated

But you don't need animated

Won't work with animated, but letting you know that formats are similiar.

[young dagger]

It’s because I want to use the server icon as an emoji for the button, so it should be unique for each server

[dense scaffold]

Why don't you upload the image to the server?

as emoji

I recommend uploading the emojis to the bot directly

https://discord.com/developers/applications/your_app_id/emojis

[young dagger]

I could but then I have to do it manually

Thanks anyway

[dense scaffold]

What do you mean?

You literally upload the emoji, and just use it as set in the example, i don't find it overcomplicating.

No worries 😄

How can I make discord.py use docstring in the callback as the description?

[dense scaffold]

@bot.command(description="This will be desc")
async def greet(ctx: commands.Context):

If your bot is interaction commands, to add description to options you can use for example:

async def example(self, inter: Whatever, user: Member, action: DefineAction) -> None:
"""This is command desc.

Parameters
----------
user: This will be user parameter desc.
action: This will be action parameter desc.

[dense scaffold]

Use python debugger

[dense scaffold]

Let's see if he runs it and it issues 😄

[hearty wind]

brings me here

[dense scaffold]

install the first one

[hearty wind]

it is

has been

[dense scaffold]

Ok, now restart vsc

or do ctrl + shift + p and refesh cache and restart

[hearty wind]

i tried a new code and it turned on

[dense scaffold]

So did it start the bot.py file you wanted?

using the vsc run button?

[hearty wind]

yea but i had to change my entire code for a test and it worked

[dense scaffold]

That's great, Means your bot is running locally, keep in mind it will be stopped if you do ctrl + c in terminal, or when your pc turns off.

Let me know if you have further more issues.

[hearty wind]

alright thank so much

[teal swallow]

Hello everyone.
If you need any help with web and AI development, please feel free to contact me.

[last orchid]

?!!?!

[solar pollen]

i tried both ways on a hybrid command and when i do command.description theres nothing

[golden portal]

should be filled in command.help

[mild token]

what error we will get if we try to remove the user who isnt in thread?

or it will not give error?

[fast osprey]

Very quick try it and see exercise

[dense scaffold]

You said docstrings, and after you do that, you need to restart discord app to refresh cache.

This way you can add description to your command

[smoky sinew]

Hybrid*

[dense scaffold]

Yes, that means prefixable and interaction too

[smoky sinew]

The code you sent is not for hybrid command.

[dense scaffold]

Was showing him a change on a previous code i sent

I know, it's previous code i sent, just showing how to do the description

[dense scaffold]

^^

They didn't mention at first that this was for hybrid, bot logically it's the same.

[smoky sinew]

To make it hybrid command you can change it to @bot.hybrid_command

[dense scaffold]

That's a detail they can add, they didn't mention at first that the purpose was on hybrid commands.

[dense scaffold]

^^^

This was what they said, and right after is my example.

Which is literally the same for hybrid, it's a 2 words change.

[upper sorrel]

anyone care to help, i am trying to get my bot to respond when certain words are said, even in the middle of a sentence. i under stand the
"If message.content.startswith('Example'): "
But it only works is if it starts with the word, Any idea?

[glad cradle]

!e
you know you can do this

print("word" in "just a normal sentence containing your word")

[unkempt canyon]

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

True

[fast osprey]

Regex would probably be useful to learn here

[glad cradle]

yeah or that too

[smoky dragon]

Hello friends, I'm making a discord bot and I'm sure I'll have questions to ask. Just wanted to say hello there and hope yall are having a good day so far

[fast musk]

hi

[fast osprey]

[young dagger]

What is wrong?

        elif any(message.guild.get_channel(message.channel.id) is None for message.channel.id in message.raw_channel_mentions):
            modlog_message = "Posted an invite"

[quick gust]

Tell us, what's the error?

[young dagger]

Expected type 'collections.Iterable', got '() -> list[int]' instead

[stark ingot]

You need the [] around your list compression

[young dagger]

Same

[stark ingot]

Then idk

[fast osprey]

traceback?

[upper sorrel]

is there an option for the bot to pick from a list of options to reply to a word that is said?

[wanton current]

yes

[upper sorrel]

Do you know where i can learn to do it?

[young dagger]

Expected type 'collections.Iterable', got '() -> list[int]' instead

[fast osprey]

That's an error message, not a traceback

[young dagger]

Do you know how to solve this error?

I want to detect "#799641437645701151" these kind of messages that is not from the same guild

[fast osprey]

You should start by being able to get a traceback

[young dagger]

Well I was trying to solve the error to begin with

[fast osprey]

You solve the error by getting the traceback

The library by default logs the traceback. Something you are doing is interfering with that

[upper sorrel]

Ok i ran this, it shows no errors, but still does nothing when promted with "Hello" in discord.

i am still learning ish but i am not sure what i did wrong?

[fast osprey]

You should be getting a warning in your console

[upper sorrel]

i got nothing

[fast osprey]

Terminal

no idea what the hell "problems" is

[upper sorrel]

Sorry, This terminal?

[fast osprey]

How are you starting the bot?

[upper sorrel]

visual studio code amt

[fast osprey]

In code

[upper sorrel]

client.run('Tokencode')

thats how i keep starting it

then control C to stop it.

i had some basic stuff working this morning, but not it does nothing so i was curious.

[fast osprey]

You should be getting logs from the library

Can you send your full code? In text, preferably, not a screenshot

Also which library are you using?

[upper sorrel]

import discord
import random
from discord.ext import commands

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

msg_list = [
'Hello! How can I help you today?',
'Good day! What can I do for you?',
'Hi there! Need any assistance?',
'Hey! What’s up?']

@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 'Hello' in message.content.lower():
    
    response = random.choice(list)
    await message.channel.send(list)

client.run('Token')

[exotic hazel]

'Hello' would never be in the str.lower() right? It should be 'hello'

[fast osprey]

If you ran this code in dpy at least, you would get several logs in your console

[upper sorrel]

i am not sure then, guess i screwed up somewhere.

[fast osprey]

?

[upper sorrel]

its giving me no errors in any of my windows.

[upper sorrel]

without sounding completely brain dead, What do you mean by library?
I was told the only thing i would need to do before doing anything is make sure i do this
import discord
import random
from discord.ext import commands

[fast osprey]

If you installed python fresh, it would not know what import discord means. You did something

(installed a library)

[upper sorrel]

i installed python through MS store
Then installed visual
Then started the project

thats all i have done in means of prep

[fast osprey]

python does not ship with a discord module

[upper sorrel]

Ok, so i would have to download the discord module?
i am assuming from discord developer page?

[fast osprey]

Someone already did on your installation if you aren't getting an error from import discord

[upper sorrel]

Ok, should i be worried?

it sounds worrying...

[fast osprey]

You probably followed some steps you aren't remembering. Do you know what version of python you're running through vsc? Can you run python manually on a command line?

That doesn't necessarily mean that's what vsc is using

[upper sorrel]

Hmmm

[fast osprey]

When you hit run on vsc, it runs some python executable

[upper sorrel]

/AppData/Local/Microsoft/WindowsApps/python3.12.exe

thats the first thing that shows up when hitting run

[fast osprey]

Can you run that exact exe and pass -m pip freeze, then send the output here?

[upper sorrel]

apparently not

-m pip freeze
File "<stdin>", line 1
-m pip freeze
^^^
SyntaxError: invalid syntax

[fast osprey]

Run it all in one line on command line

you're currently entering the python interpreter which you don't want

so exit() to get out of the interpreter, then on the command line .../python.exe -m pip freeze

[upper sorrel]

i feel like im doing something wrong here.

apologies

[exotic hazel]

exit()
^run that

[upper sorrel]

it closes python

[fast osprey]

Now do the second part of this

[upper sorrel]

not sure if this means anything

[fast osprey]

It does, someone installed discord.py at some point (somewhat recently)

[upper sorrel]

ok, is there a way to delete? Restart?

im not quite sure what to do here.

[fast osprey]

No, that's fine, but it's odd that you don't remember doing that

because this doesn't happen by default

[upper sorrel]

my first time, im on bed rest and needed a hobby while i recover.

this hobby was suggested

[fast osprey]

It's fine, so you have discord.py installed, it should be giving you output. Do you know how to run the bot yourself via command line and not through vsc?

[upper sorrel]

i do not, i was told vsc was the most friendly way to start this project.

[fast osprey]

Some part of your setup is eating all of the library's output, which is going to make any debugging difficult

You can look at that if you want to. The core issue why you aren't getting this code working is that your code is not requesting the message_content intent, which is required to receive message content. https://discordpy.readthedocs.io/en/latest/intents.html has a detailed description of that concept

[upper sorrel]

Would i be better off deleting the project and starting again to clear the library's output? starting fresh if thats a thing?

[fast osprey]

It's probably something wonky with vsc to be honest. You could try running it on your own outside of vsc

But honestly I don't know how you'd get in that state

[upper sorrel]

ah i see.

[fast osprey]

Maybe something in the output tab?

[upper sorrel]

Nothing again.

i will either try something else other than VSC or maybe move onto another project.

But Thank you for trying help figure this mess out.

[fast osprey]

Running it yourself is just going into the command line and doing .../python.exe <path/to/your/bot/file>

[young dagger]

No traceback anymore. But I still see Expected type 'collections.Iterable', got '() -> list[int]' instead

elif any(message.guild.get_channel(channel_id) is None for channel_id in message.raw_channel_mentions):

[fast osprey]

You need to get a traceback to effectively debug

again, it is something you are doing that is removing it

[young dagger]

What do you mean removing it?

[fast osprey]

By default, when you hit an error the library will output the traceback

If you are not seeing a traceback, something in your code is interfering with that

[young dagger]

It's a warning

[fast osprey]

So your code runs just fine?

[young dagger]

So far yes

[young dagger]

If I add the line somewere else I'm not seeing the error

[sick birch]

this is the line of code with that warning?

[young dagger]

Yes

[sick birch]

can you paste a couple lines before and after for context

[young dagger]

I can't use async def lfg_checks(self, message: discord.Message) -> bool:

The warning dissapears with async def lfg_checks(self, message):

[sick birch]

that makes sense

it can't warn you anymore because it doesn't know what the types of anything are

[young dagger]

But at the end of the function there is return True or return False

So it's excepting bool back

The message is a discord message

I don't see the problem

[sick birch]

this is pycharm right?

[young dagger]

Correct

[fast osprey]

In general, ide's complain about shit all the time, really up to you if it's worth making them happy

[sick birch]

they use their own type checker which is known to be buggy at times

[young dagger]

What's so special about any(message.guild.get_channel(channel_id) is None for channel_id in message.raw_channel_mentions):

[sick birch]

that particular line of code seems fine to me, i'd ignore the type error

maybe write some tests if you want to be sure

[sick birch]

it's got a genexp, maybe pycharm type checker doesn't like that for whatever reason

[slate swan]

Hello

i welcome anyone who wanna ask about me and tech😋

[young dagger]

Do you know how I could write the code differently?

[sick birch]

this is readable and concise

i'd leave it be

i guess you could also do like, any(map(message.guild.get_channel, message.raw_channel_mentions))

to see if any of the mentions in the message are in your cache

[young dagger]

This is the line it doesn't like message.raw_channel_mentions

[sick birch]

this is a property

pycharm thinks its a method for whatever reason

[young dagger]

Expected type 'Iterable[int]' (matched generic type 'Iterable[_T1]'), got '() -> list[int]' instead with your method

[sick birch]

yeah it's the same thing there

[young dagger]

Maybe I should just remove the type hinting

My goal was to create a 100% warning free bot

[sick birch]

that makes it worse

[young dagger]

By using async def message_checks(self, message): instead of self, message: discord.Message) -> bool

[sick birch]

yes, now you can't type check anything in that function

the choice is obvious when it comes to not being able to type check anything in a function vs having one false warning (which can be ignored with a directive)

pycharm probably has some option to suppress warnings in the editor. i'd recommend running mypy or pyright for actual type checking in CI or whatever before going to production anyway

[young dagger]

It actually disappears with async def message_checks(self, message) -> bool:

[sick birch]

yes, because it can't type check anymore

that's not a fix

[young dagger]

So specifying that the message is a discord.Message is a problem

[sick birch]

no, it's not

there is no problem here beside pycharm itself

the code is fine, it will work, is readable and concise

i am not sure what more you want to do here

[young dagger]

Thanks

Do you know any other Python IDE that works better with discord.py?

[sick birch]

it's not a matter of integration with discord.py. all editors and type checkers have some quirk or another, there is no perfect system

personally i run neovim with pyright as my lsp, and also run pyright in CI so i don't get failed ci where it works locally

mypy by the PSF and pyright by microsoft are the two big ones

[young dagger]

I'm running the exact same snippet of code on my other bot and not getting a warning message (the only difference is that the other bot is not using cogs)

Both in Pycharm

[sick birch]

🤷‍♂️ like i mentioned pycharm type checker is known to be buggy at times

[slate swan]

Sure

but why need to write code differently?

[upper sorrel]

thought i would thank you again! i got it too work!

16 hours justifed for a noob such as myself.

[weak iris]

Im trying to make a basic discord bot, but im probably having issues with permission. So i clicked the Admin general permission but there is no save button. What am i missing here?

looks like this is just a tool to calculate the permision integer, but where do i fit that in ?

[molten bobcat]

I have experienced developers here, feel free to DM us anytime.

[fast osprey]

Glad to hear it

[upper sorrel]

again thank you! Also apologies for being a bit slow when trying understand what you was saying, brand new to this.

[fast osprey]

nw we all start somewhere, always feel free to ask questions

[merry cliff]

It should be part of the invite url but that’s the old system, in the new one you can set the default invite perms

In the installation section

[young dagger]

    async def find_case(self, case_id: int) -> Tuple[Optional[Dict[str, Any]], Optional[str]]:
        collections = {
            "warnings_collection": self.warnings_collection,
            "kicks_collection": self.kicks_collection,
            "bans_collection": self.bans_collection,
            "mutes_collection": self.mutes_collection,
            "modnotes_collection": self.modnotes_collection,
        }

        for collection_name, collection in collections.items():
            case = await collection.find_one({"case_id": case_id})
            if case:
                return case, collection_name

        return None, None

Why am I getting Expected type 'tuple[dict[str, Any] | None, str | None]', got 'tuple[Mapping[str, Any], str]' instead

@sick birch Any idea about this one?

[fast osprey]

What type is case here?

[young dagger]

Type of case: <class 'dict'>
Type of collection_name: <class 'str'>

[young dagger]

Any idea?

[fast osprey]

Personally I don't bother trying to make type checkers happy

[dense scaffold]

Are you not using python 3.10.x+?

You could use dict built in instead of importing it.

And also instead of importing Optional, you could do X | Y for annotations

[dense scaffold]

from typing import Mapping

async def find_case(self, case_id: int) -> tuple[Mapping[str, Any] | None, str | None]:
    collections = {
        "warnings_collection": self.warnings_collection,
        "kicks_collection": self.kicks_collection,
        "bans_collection": self.bans_collection,
        "mutes_collection": self.mutes_collection,
        "modnotes_collection": self.modnotes_collection,
    }

    for collection_name, collection in collections.items():
        case = await collection.find_one({"case_id": case_id})
        if case:
            return case, collection_name

    return None, None

This should resolve your issue.

[young dagger]

I'm using Python 3.12

[dense scaffold]

Even better, The code i sent uses proper annotations, There's no need to import Dict or Optional

[young dagger]

You forgot to import Any

But thank you

[dense scaffold]

Apologies, imported Mapping cause that was the difference to fix your case.

[young dagger]

Why mapping if I may ask?

[dense scaffold]

Cause you were using Any already here.

[young dagger]

Oh yeah you are right, I removed old code mb

[dense scaffold]

It's suggested instead of dict, proper annotations for your case.

[mint pecan]

can i add aliases to a command's parameter?

[merry cliff]

how does a param have a name in the first place?

[mint pecan]

you can do similar thing with flags i wonder if i can do it with normal params too

[vocal laurel]

Idts

[merry cliff]

I dont think I know what you mean, as far as I know normal params for text commands are purely named in the code and arent used when running the command

[vocal laurel]

They can be used for flags

[merry cliff]

but they said with normal ones

[mint pecan]

what does that mean?

[vocal laurel]

I dont think so

[fast osprey]

Aliases are for things users type in. If they're not typing in the parameter name at all, it doesn't make sense for there to be an alias

[solar bone]

does this work bro

[patent hull]

Yes

[thin raft]

Are you familiar with python?

You should get familiar with python first

knowing js just the basics might be enough

[wanton current]

from the d.py server

[fast osprey]

ew d.py

[wanton current]

[worldly lava]

What's wrong with discord.py?

[fast osprey]

Ironic joke lol between dpy heads

[wanton current]

what's dpy

[slate swan]

    @commands.Cog.listener()
    async def on_ready(self):
        for color_role_id in config.colors:
            color_role: discord.Role = self.bot.get_guild(config.main_server).get_role(color_role_id)
            print(color_role)
            print(color_role.members)

why is this not printing the role members? note: it does get the role successfully

[slate swan]

can you invite me to it ive been looking for that server for a while

[fast osprey]

What intents are you requesting?

[wanton current]

discord.gg/dpy

[fast osprey]

Also you probably don't want to do this in on_ready, that event fires repeatedly and randomly

[slate swan]

im not trying to use any intents at all, i want to avoid intents as much as possible

[slate swan]

this is just for testing purposes im gonna put it into a repeating loop later

[wanton current]

You need specific intents for get_guild to work

[slate swan]

no u dont, actually

wait

[wanton current]

?

[slate swan]

i always mix up fetch and get 😭

still doesnt say you need an intent

[wanton current]

wait nvm, i thought of something else

[fast osprey]

I believe you need the members intent to see the members of a role

[grizzled onyx]

how can I perform each task in turn (sequentially, one after the other). I am using aiosqlite and my database is being blocked due to multiple tasks

[fast osprey]

What database/driver are you using?

Task loops are meant to be for background repeating things, not things you execute once with dependencies

[mild token]

is there a way to get the connection link of user , meaning whatever they have connected with their profile can i check with bot?

these things in my case

[wanton current]

no

[young dagger]

What is this color called?

[wanton current]

or do you mean green

[young dagger]

The green

[wanton current]

green?

[young dagger]

No

This is green

[wanton current]

both are green

[young dagger]

Well it's not the same color

I can see they are both green

[sacred vigil]

#43B483

[wanton current]

Medium Sea Green according to some website

I got #43B582

for the first one

[young dagger]

I know but it's should be an official Discord color

[wanton current]

these are the official discord colours

[young dagger]

There is more colors than that

[stark ingot]

Why do you think that?

[stark ingot]

That is just whatever lib you are using

[sick birch]

those are simply some presets of discord.Colour class

the embed color can be anything, not necessarily restrained to a preset

[stark ingot]

My guess is you have teal or dark teal

[young dagger]

How can I ignore mute and deafen?

    if (before.channel == after.channel and
        before.self_mute == after.self_mute and
        before.self_deaf == after.self_deaf):
        return

This isn't really working

[sick birch]

what condition are you really trying to check for here

[young dagger]

Deafen/undeafen mute/unmute

[young dagger]

Couldn't I just do:

        if before.channel == after.channel:
            return

@sick birch ?

[sick birch]

But you said you want to ignore it?

What are you trying to detect changes in?

[young dagger]

    @commands.Cog.listener()
    async def on_voice_state_update(self, member, before, after):
        # Ignore changes if only mute or deafen status has changed
        if before.channel == after.channel:
            return

        if before.channel is None and after.channel is not None:
            action = "joined"
            channel_name = after.channel.name

        elif before.channel is not None and after.channel is None:
            action = "left"
            channel_name = before.channel.name

        elif before.channel is not None and after.channel is not None and before.channel != after.channel:
            action = "switched from"
            channel_name = f"{before.channel.name} -> {after.channel.name}"

        # Create embed

[young dagger]

Join, leave and switch voice channels

You don’t need to “ignore” anything, simply only look for the changes you want

Only issue i see is the last one might still run for other actions

I think before.channel != after.channel should be enough?

[young dagger]

        elif before.channel != after.channel:
            action = "switched from"
            channel_name = f"{before.channel.name} -> {after.channel.name}"
            color = discord.Color.green()

Cannot find reference 'name' in 'None'

[fast osprey]

That's not in the code you sent

[slim bloom]

async def system_dependencies(self) -> None:
    if not os.path.isfile('requirements.txt'):
        async with aiofiles.open('requirements.txt', mode='w') as file:
            await file.write('')
            
    try:
        async with aiofiles.open('requirements.txt', mode='r') as file:
            dependencies = await file.readlines()

        dependencies = [dep.strip() for dep in dependencies if dep.strip()]

        missing = []
        for dep in dependencies:
            try:
                pkg_resources.require(dep)
            except pkg_resources.DistributionNotFound:
                missing.append(dep)
            except pkg_resources.VersionConflict:
                missing.append(dep)

        if missing:
            process = await asyncio.create_subprocess_exec(
                sys.executable, "-m", "pip", "install", *missing,
                stdout=subprocess.PIPE,
                stderr=subprocess.PIPE
            )
            
            stdout, stderr = await process.communicate()
            
            if process.returncode == 0:
                print(f"Dependencies installed successfully:\n{stdout.decode()}")
            else:
                print(f"Error during installation:\n{stderr.decode()}")
        else:
            print("All dependencies are already installed.")
    except Exception:
        traceback.print_exc()```

@fast osprey How could I improve it?

[mint pecan]

How do i mention a role in string?

[hushed galleon]

assuming if you're on discord.py and you have a role object, role.mention would give you the appropriate mention format

if you just have the ID, <@&id> would be the format otherwise

how do i check if a command instance is a slash command?

[fast osprey]

What does "command instance" mean here?

[mint pecan]

an instance of a command?

[quick gust]

I mean it depends on ur use case

[fast osprey]

command isn't a thing as far as the library is concerned. There are multiple Command classes, of which you would need to disambiguate here. Some code would probably be useful as well as what you're trying to do

[fickle basalt]

Is there a bot that does OCR?

[mild token]

is there any event which tells when member activity changes?

or presence

[fast osprey]

!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...

Oops, did not see the response

[young dagger]

Is it recommended to add a class inside another class (cog)?

[wanton current]

for what reason?

[young dagger]

https://github.com/Rapptz/discord.py/blob/master/examples/views/counter.py

That is what Rapptz did

[wanton current]

Yeah, there are no nested classes?

[fast osprey]

...where do you see classes nested?

[young dagger]

https://paste.pythondiscord.com/TEKA

Am I using the cogs incorrectly?

Cannot find reference 'edit_message' in '() -> InteractionResponse'

[fast osprey]

The command is outside of the cog for one

and for that, that's just your ide complaining

[fair herald]

can anyone help?

Still getting same error

raise errors.ExtensionFailed(key, e) from e discord.ext.commands.errors.ExtensionFailed: Extension 'cogs.verification' raised an error: TypeError: object NoneType can't be used in 'await' expression

[fast osprey]

both setup and add_cog are async in dpy as of 2.0

[young dagger]

Do you know what I'm supposed to do?

[fast osprey]

Yeah, make setup an async method and await add_cog. And more generally, follow official docs and examples

[young dagger]

I'm using await self.load_extension("cogs.verification")

[fast osprey]

I didn't mention load_extension though

[young dagger]

Should I make this to all my cogs?

Is there any downsize of using async?

[fast osprey]

I mean, add_cog is a coroutine. You need to await it.

The library also assumes when it calls setup that it is supposed to be async and awaits it, so it should be async.

[young dagger]

Do you know why the ide is complaining?

[fast osprey]

Because of some silly thing with how it fails to read that particular method from the library, it's a pretty common thing

[young dagger]

Do you know why the existing button is not syncing on_ready in the cog? https://paste.pythondiscord.com/5PJA

[fast osprey]

making a method called on_ready in a cog doesn't do anything

You also probably don't want to actually use on_ready anyways, given how it actually works

[young dagger]

Do you have any idea on how I can sync the old button?

[fast osprey]

What does "syncing" a button mean?

[fast osprey]

Like make a button work after a restart?

[young dagger]

Exactly

[young dagger]

async def setup(bot):
    await bot.add_cog(VerificationCog(bot))

You need to async it

(the cog)

[fast osprey]

Look at the persistent.py example in the repo

You don't need to edit a message, you just need to register either a persistent view or a dynamic item. And you should do this once, not in on_ready

[fair herald]

thank you it worked but i want to make my bot status to have a mobile status but im using python and discord.py

[formal basin]

await bot.change_presence(activity=discord.Activity(type=discord.ActivityType.watching, name=f'{len(bot.guilds):,} servers')) this is only working for 1 server

Also this is running everythime i run the bot @bot.event async def on_guild_remove(guild): channel = bot.get_channel(channel_id) await channel.send(f"server leave server:{(guild.name)} owner: {(guild.owner)}") await botlist_client.setStats(len(bot.guilds), 1) await bot.change_presence(activity=discord.Activity(type = discord.ActivityType.watching, name=f'{len(bot.guilds):,} servers'))

it sends this:

server leave server: `````` owner: None

[golden portal]

If you don't have members intents, it's gonna be None, it needs members cache to get the member obj

[formal basin]

no it just happens as soon as i start the bot

[real rampart]

anyone here worked with lavalink?

[real rampart]

u gave too little info, guild.owner is returning none, cause of that can be several things

[formal basin]

as soon as i start the bot its sends that

not because someone kicked my bot

[real rampart]

Intents = discord.Intents.all()
client = commands.Bot(command_prefix='.', intents=Intents)

u have these?
and do u have channel_id defined

[formal basin]

yes

channel_id is defined

its sending it in the channel

but also

await bot.change_presence(activity=discord.Activity(type=discord.ActivityType.watching, name=f'{len(bot.guilds):,} servers')) why is this only showing in one server

@bot.event
async def on_ready():
     print("bot online")
    await bot.change_presence(activity=discord.Activity(type=discord.ActivityType.watching, name=f'{len(bot.guilds):,} servers'))
     bot.add_view(VerifyButton())
     upload_json_to_discord.start()
     await botlist_client.setStats(len(bot.guilds), 1)
     print(f"{len(bot.guilds):,} servers")```

[fast osprey]

You shouldn't be doing any of this in on_ready

[formal basin]

why?

[fast osprey]

!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

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.
