[young dagger]

class Moderation(commands.Cog):
    def __init__(self, bot):
        self.bot = bot
        self.moderator_roles = (727152007009271822, 710242627089596459, 710241598348329080, 949779453909823488,
                                711210963231178803, 1076838318555267073)

    # Mute command
    @commands.command(name="mute", description="Mutes the user.")
    @commands.guild_only()
    @commands.cooldown(1, 5.0, commands.BucketType.user)
    @commands.has_any_role(self.moderator_roles)

Why can't I use the decorator check for my commands? Unresolved reference 'self'

[real rampart]

Change the check_moderator Instead of a staticmethod, make check_moderator

[young dagger]

Sorry I mean by using the commands.has_any_role

Do you have any idea?

[fast osprey]

If this is hardcoded just put it in the decorator

[formal basin]

what event should I do it in?

[fast osprey]

There isn't an event

you pass initial presence into the bot constructor

[young dagger]

I would rather use a variable so I don't need to go through all the commands one by one later

[fast osprey]

Also very generally, people really don't care about how many servers your bot is in. It's just a humblebrag that steals space from something that could actually be useful

[formal basin]

i just like to look at it

[fast osprey]

You could look at things that aren't a publicly broadcast status

[real rampart]

`class Moderation(commands.Cog):
def init(self, bot):
self.bot = bot
self.moderator_roles = (727152007009271822, 710242627089596459, 710241598348329080, 949779453909823488,
711210963231178803, 1076838318555267073)

def is_moderator(self, ctx):
    return any(role.id in self.moderator_roles for role in ctx.author.roles)

def check_moderator(self):
    return commands.check(self.is_moderator)

@commands.command(name="mute", description="Mutes the user.")
@commands.guild_only()
@commands.cooldown(1, 5.0, commands.BucketType.user)
@check_moderator() 
async def mute(self, ctx, member: commands.MemberConverter, *, reason=None):
    await ctx.send(f"{member} has been muted for reason: {reason}"

bot.add_cog(Moderation(bot))`

try it like this

[young dagger]

discord.ext.commands.errors.ExtensionFailed: Extension 'cogs.moderation' raised an error: TypeError: Moderation.check_moderator() missing 1 required positional argument: 'self'

[fast osprey]

These don't need to be an instance attribute

you could just set a constant

[formal basin]

bot=commands.AutoShardedBot(command_prefix='!', intents=intents, max_messages=150, chunk_guilds_at_startup=False, shard_count=2) this is the constructor?

[fast osprey]

yup

it has status and activity kwargs

[formal basin]

i dont see them

[young dagger]

Any idea?

[fast osprey]

What do you mean by "see"

[fast osprey]

Just use a constant. Again this doesn't need to be an instance attribute if it's not changing per instance

[young dagger]

What do you mean by a constant?

[young dagger]

Oh you mean outside the class

[fast osprey]

Exactly

[young dagger]

Than I should use @commands.has_any_role(*moderator_roles) to unpack the tuple into individual arguments?

[fast osprey]

Yeah that should work

[young dagger]

Is there any built in decorator like @commands.has_any_role specifically for channels?

[fast osprey]

Not that I'm aware of

You may really want to consider moving to app commands instead

[young dagger]

You mean slash commands?

[fast osprey]

The formal name is app commands as that also includes context menus, but yes

[pale turtle]

Hi. I used to code a lot of discord bots using python in the past, but it has been so so long since I last coded one, and I wanna get back at it. Is there some manual that really teaches everything from the beginning, including all of these new features such as slash commands, menus, etc...

[stark ingot]

Do you know what library you are planning on using?

[pale turtle]

Is there anything else other than discord.py?

[fast osprey]

It's also a bit of a mixed bag. The libraries tend to only officially support api docs which tell you how the individual components work. These deep dive "tutorials" are made by individuals and vary a ton on quality or recency

[stark ingot]

There are a bunch now, py-cord, nextcord, disnake, etc

[fast osprey]

There were loads of forks made while discord.py was on hiatus

[pale turtle]

Which one would you suggest I use?

[fast osprey]

Very subjective question tbh

Pretty much all of the popular ones are up to date on the discord api

Becomes a question of library design choices and support

[stark ingot]

I normally recommend looking at the style of the docs and basic examples for each and see what you like best

[pale turtle]

So the top 4 would be discord.py, py-cord, nextcord and disnake? Or are there more worth checking out

[stark ingot]

To answer your original question.
A 3rd part tutorial for discord.py is here : https://fallendeity.github.io/discord.py-masterclass/
And a official guide (different than docs) for Pycord is here: https://guide.pycord.dev/
And I am not familiar with others.

[fast osprey]

Iirc hikari was the only one with novel design and not just a dpy fork

[stark ingot]

If you scroll to python you can see all the major options
https://libs.advaith.io/#python

[pale turtle]

Alright. I'll make sure to check them. Just interested, which one do you both use?

[stark ingot]

I use py-cord

[fast osprey]

I am community support for discord.py so take that with a grain of salt lol

[pale turtle]

Alright. Thank you both for the help, much appreciated!

[young dagger]

@fast osprey Sorry for the ping. Is this how you use the persistent view?
https://paste.pythondiscord.com/AJYQ

[fast osprey]

If you do that, you are persisting a single view object across all of the messages that view type might be on

[young dagger]

How do I solve this?

[fast osprey]

Either use dynamic items, or make as many views as you need

[young dagger]

I only need one for this type of verification

[young dagger]

Btw why am I getting Parameter 'button' value is not used on the line

@discord.ui.button(label='Start Verification', style=discord.ButtonStyle.primary, custom_id='verification:start')
    async def start_verification(self, interaction: discord.Interaction, button: discord.ui.Button):

[quick gust]

Pycharm?

[stark ingot]

That is something you can ignore. Generally you do not make a function that does not use an argument but in this case you have to so that the lib can provide the argument without erroring

[young dagger]

Yes

[young dagger]

Is there any other way I could/should rewrite this code?

[stark ingot]

Not that I know of, it is just a weak warning that you have to ignore

[young dagger]

Is there any way to supress these warnings in Pycharm by adding a comment?

[quick gust]

Yeah just add a _ before the parameter

[late knoll]

Hi, not sure if this is the right channel to ask this in but I was having some trouble so I figured I'd try, https://github.com/vn-ki/film-raffle-bot I'm attempting to recreate a discord bot that uses python, I think I've got the main elements in the config file down but I'm having trouble with setting up a database for it since I have no experience with that. Any suggestions or recommendations for what to use?

tried in #databases but figured id try here too

[young dagger]

Why is it not removing the attachment (image) from the embed when calling create_answer_callback

https://paste.pythondiscord.com/JLOQ

It removes the buttons but not the image

[dry kelp]

@staticmethod
def create_answer_callback(user, correct_answer):
    async def answer_callback(interaction: discord.Interaction):
        if interaction.user != user:
            return

        selected_answer = interaction.data["custom_id"].split(":")[1]
        if selected_answer == correct_answer:
            response = "You have been successfully verified."
        else:
            response = "Verification failed. Please try again."

        # Create a new embed or modify the existing one to remove the image
        new_embed = discord.Embed(title="", description=response, color=discord.Color.blue())
        new_embed.set_image(url=None)  # Explicitly clear the image

        # Edit the message to update the content and remove the buttons
        await interaction.response.edit_message(embed=new_embed, view=None)

    return answer_callback

Try this ⬆️

        await interaction.response.edit_message(content=response, embed=new_embed, attachments=[], view=None)

    return answer_callback

You need to make sure that the one you're editing is the actual message, and i am unsure but i didn't know we can edit ephemeral messages.

And i don't think we can edit them, i never tried and never looked into that.

[young dagger]

All I can do to is add attachments=[]

Thanks spooky

[dry kelp]

That basically means that the user dms are closed.

[ivory remnant]

ik it does, but even with the error handling it still errors and stops the code

[dry kelp]

Could be beause you're trying to send the dm, but fails, so it will automatically raise that.

I can't see the full code, But i belive that's why this happens.

[ivory remnant]

yes i am trying to send to the dm

[ivory remnant]

theres nothing else to but variables

[dry kelp]

pathlib is preferred over os.

[young dagger]

Why is that if I may ask?

[dry kelp]

1. Enhanced Functionality
2. Cleaner Syntax
3. Object-Oriented Interface

Examples:

import os

if os.path.exists('file.txt'):
    print('File exists')

from pathlib import Path

if Path('file.txt').exists():
    print('File exists')

Joining paths example:

import os

full_path = os.path.join('dir', 'subdir', 'file.txt')

from pathlib import Path

full_path = Path('dir') / 'subdir' / 'file.txt'

[young dagger]

Which one is faster in performance?

[dry kelp]

Eh.... i believe os is faster

[urban flume]

i believe it's the same except pathlib is prefered in newer codebase after python 3.6

[dry kelp]

Yeah, i've mentioned pathlib is prefered, But still, i feel like os could be slighty faster in performance.

error seems pretty clear?

@slate swan i didnt "blindly" paste someone elses code.. i looke dthru it and ensured anything needed to be changed

[ivory remnant]

well duh? the problem is i have a error handler which it js doesnt seem to care abt and instead js stops

thats my issues thats what im trying to fix

if the dms is closed, it js skips them

thats what i implemented but it doesnt seem to want to skip

[pale zenith]

the error seems different, though. Could you copy the whole file and paste it?

!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.

[wispy gulch]

whats your problem?

[sick birch]

shouldn't matter. measure first before optimizing

a lot of os/pathlib functions will be bottlenecked by system IO anyway

[ivory remnant]

too much code and confidential information

the rest is unrelated stuff

debugging thru vsc

[pale zenith]

since this error is referencing bot.run(), this doesn't seem quite related with

-oh are you using like the actual debugger? don't

[ivory remnant]

its what i use

b4 anything else

cuz if i try to run a python file and theres a error it js closes

[pale zenith]

could you try without it? just open a console (even the vscode console) and just python YOUR_FILE_NAME.py or python3 or whatever you use

ya you don't just rawdog a python file like that, run it via a terminal instead of just double-clicking it

Not with that attitude

[pale zenith]

[ivory remnant]

this somehow fixed it..

[pale zenith]

anyway, if running the code in a more conventional way does not fix the issue, send the most recent error here and we'll see

[ivory remnant]

i did it in vsc terminal and it works just fine now

[pale zenith]

yea figures. I don't trust them debuggers- if I had to guess it just "forgot" to notice the file was saved, or something like that

yep the vscode terminal works fine like any other! for future reference, avoid using the debugger for discord.py-related code as it usually leads to such errors :)

I would go as far as to say not to use it for any code (but I'm just not a fan of it, usually gives me more headaches than it's worth)

glad it was fixed tho

[ivory remnant]

ty

wait @pale zenith how do i stop debugging?

[pale zenith]

Usually in vscode there are gonna be more terminals listed to the right of your current one. Close em

[young dagger]

Which python version is recommend to use right now?

[zinc gust]

the last one ???

always download the last one

[young dagger]

It's between 3.12 vs 3.13

[wanton current]

if only it said somewhere

[zinc gust]

then 12

[zinc gust]

im using 12

[young dagger]

Do I always have to fetch the user to see if they are a member of the guild?

[wanton current]

no?

[mild token]

Can I run fastapi and my bot in same script? I want to implement pubsub model

[fast osprey]

You can, you shouldn't

[mild token]

Then how should I make it 😅 can u give me idea

I am checking api continuosly for changes and wanted to implement pubsub model

[fast osprey]

What is the webserver doing?

[mild token]

Actually my friend have given me his api endpoint and I keep checking it for updates every 5 minutes ,so I wanted to eliminate the continuous api checking

And just fire it up when there it updates instantly

[young dagger]

Why isn't this working?

[midnight oracle]

Are the files in the same forlder?

Yes but what do you do with it on your end

Yes

[mild token]

I want server to just trigger the notification function of bot script that's why I thought of using within bot script

[fast osprey]

What does this notification function do?

[mild token]

Ping the role and sends embed+link of yt

[fast osprey]

You don't need a bot to do that at all, you can just post to a webhook

[mild token]

Hmm but for webhook what should I use I mean for yt updates

I have to track around 30-40 channel

[fast osprey]

webhooks are how you post from some arbitrary program into a discord message

[midnight oracle]

That's weird

[mild token]

I mean what should I use for yt updates when new video arrive so I can send webhook with bot

[young dagger]

For some reason from .tasks import guild_access_lock worked

with (dot) in the beginning

[midnight oracle]

Yeah, I was testing it with a dot

[young dagger]

Why is the dot necessary?

[fast osprey]

It's relative to your cwd

[midnight oracle]

The dot makes a reference to the current package

You can use more than one dot to refer to the parent(s)

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.

Is help.py in the same directory as the main file

[fair herald]

no

[merry cliff]

That’s interesting

[fast osprey]

What library and version are you using?

[merry cliff]

Looks like pycord perhaps

I think pycord has a load_extensions thing

[stark ingot]

My guess is that you have both py-cord and discord.py installed
If you are planning on using py-cord you should run
python -m pip uninstall discord.py discord py-cord
then python -m pip install py-cord

And then do not await load_extension

[meager rock]

you (can, but) should not be writing a help command this way. override the default help command by subclassing commands.HelpCommand and passing it into your Bot constructor. https://docs.pycord.dev/en/stable/ext/commands/api.html#ext-commands-help-command

[charred estuary]

excuse me sir i get certificate verification error when i run python file on windows server using library nextcord
and I have installed certifi using pip install certifi
how do i solve this problem?
the error like this

[charred estuary]

how can i bypass certificate error on windows server?

[cobalt crane]

try this
pip install --upgrade certifi

also make sure your system clock is correct

[charred estuary]

I've tried it, but it doesn't work, sir.

[cobalt crane]

you're running it inside a VM right?

[charred estuary]

yes i run using remote desktop, i use windows server

[cobalt crane]

have you tried running it locally to see if it works? might be an issue with where it's hosted

[charred estuary]

it works on real device, but it doesn't work on windows server

[cobalt crane]

do you use ssl in your project?

[charred estuary]

I don't really know sir, but I use several libraries python for discord bot

[charred estuary]

https://github.com/Rapptz/discord.py/issues/423#issuecomment-272093801

[charred estuary]

I found a solution but I don't know what it means

[cobalt crane]

try adding this to your code

import certifi
import os
from discord.ext import commands
os.environ["SSL_CERT_FILE"] = certifi.where()

[charred estuary]

okey wait i try

[charred estuary]

what do you mean by this sir?
do i have to use a code?

[cobalt crane]

in your python file

[charred estuary]

okey sir i try

[charred estuary]

thank you sir, thank you very much, finally I can, thank you very much sir, always be healthy for good people

[cobalt crane]

no worries! glad you got it sorted 😊

[charred estuary]

hah??

anyone here familiar w discord api please dm me

[feral timber]

We're not going to DM you

If you have a question you can ask it here

[signal lion]

okkk

so basically ive only been coding for about 2 months and i tried making a discord username changer, you enter your token and the desired name and it changes the username to it, but for some reason i cant get this to work

[fast osprey]

That is against TOS

[signal lion]

how

i dont use automation i enter everything manually

[fast osprey]

Writing any automation that asks for or uses user tokens

[signal lion]

oh

my bad

can i use a bot token to change my username ?

[fast osprey]

No

Not your global one. A bot can change server-level nicknames

[young dagger]

Is there any better way to do this?

def contains_repeated_content(message_content):
    normalized_content = re.sub(r'\s+', ' ', message_content).strip()

    pattern = re.compile(r'(.+?)\s+\1{1,}', re.IGNORECASE)
    return bool(pattern.search(normalized_content))

[fair herald]

well yeah do u know how to keep ur bot on 24/7 without running it on ur pc?

[fast osprey]

!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.

[young dagger]

You can buy a VPS for hosting it

[zinc gust]

or get one for free

[zinc gust]

dm me

[fast osprey]

🤨

[young dagger]

I would never use a VPS provided by someone I don't know

[zinc gust]

there are known ones

im using a known one

called pylexnodes

100% free

[fast osprey]

And how are they making money to maintain their servers?

[young dagger]

No such thing as a free lunch

[quick gust]

From what i can see on their website, shitton of ads

[fast osprey]

To...whom? The one person who goes on the site once to register and run their shit?

[quick gust]

Yeah apparently on the "free panel" they have

[fast osprey]

Yeeeeah that doesn't remotely add up lol

[quick gust]

Uhuh also probably not enough to sustain the servers they're using

I wonder why people start free hosting sites and if it's actually profitable in any ethical way

[sullen crest]

does anyone know how a discord bot can read a previous message?

[fast osprey]

Depends, how are you picking which message you want?

[sullen crest]

It would just be the message before a command

Wait can you choose a person’s last message sent?

[fast osprey]

There's not a short way to do that. You can search over a channel's history, and then filter based on that

[sullen crest]

For the former or latter?

[fast osprey]

Both

I mean you can't say "what was the last message this person sent ever", because your bot can't see every message a person sends

[sullen crest]

fair enough, is the former doable?

[fast osprey]

yeah

[sullen crest]

is it somewhere on the docs, I can't seem to find anything related

[fast osprey]

!d discord.TextChannel.history

[unkempt canyon]

discord.TextChannel.history

async for ... in history(*, limit=100, before=None, after=None, around=None, oldest_first=None)```
Returns an [asynchronous iterator](https://docs.python.org/3/glossary.html#term-asynchronous-iterator) that enables receiving the destination’s message history.

You must have [`read_message_history`](https://discordpy.readthedocs.io/en/latest/api.html#discord.Permissions.read_message_history) to do this.

[fast osprey]

What does happen?

[zinc lichen]

Noting happens

I don't even get an error

[fast osprey]

And what happens in your error handler if you hit an error that isn't those two specific types?

[zinc lichen]

I get error

[fast osprey]

Nope

[zinc lichen]

😐

[fast osprey]

If you pass through those two if clauses, you do nothing

(error handlers should be exhaustive and always have a fallback where you do something)

[zinc lichen]

Ohhhhhhh

Got it thanks

[fast osprey]

IMO, completely independently of any user feedback you should always be logging the errors somewhere you can see them

[zinc lichen]

Now a type error came

Screw it I got the error

Thank btw

[fast osprey]

any time

[ivory remnant]

i have been seeing this for a while now and i dont see much going around explaining how it works? allowing bots to join servers for you, can someone provide a example on how its done?

[fast osprey]

It is an oauth scope your bot can request from users

[ivory remnant]

ik it is, but how is it done and how do you use it real time?

[mint pecan]

its just an empty class i didnt override anything

[hushed galleon]

https://discordpy.readthedocs.io/en/stable/ext/commands/api.html#discord.ext.commands.FlagConverter.convert
its convert() method receives the context and argument just like a normal converter

[stark ingot]

I'm not sure how to do it but I know that none of the major bit libs support OAUTH scopes. So you will have to implement it yourself or find a lesser known library

[hushed galleon]

i think hikari can handle the oauth2 flow if you combine their methods with a webserver, citation needed

ah, they do have an example using aiohttp as the webserver:
https://github.com/hikari-py/hikari/blob/master/examples/oauth.py

[ivory remnant]

ohh i see

[young dagger]

Is there any benefit to using match-case instead of elif statements when it comes to performance?

[low reef]

Hey guys, would someone be able to tell me exactly what i need to change to get my welcome image feature to work? For context I'm a beginner coder following this video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Eu7X2SUOpaI&t=1030s&ab_channel=Paradoxial , the code doesnt give me any errors but when people join the server no welcome message is sent. Ive spent wayyy too many hours trying to fix. The developer intents are checked, the system message is on the correct one. And I have other cogs that run just fine so I doubt its the file structure or it not loading properly from the main.py. the code in question: https://paste.pythondiscord.com/HYWA the first section is the main.py the 2nd section is the actual welcome message cog. If someone would be able to tell me exactly what i need to change or maybe hop in a discord call for 2 minutes to get it fixed i would much appreciate 🙏

[fast osprey]

Some debugging would be a good first step

even as simple as just prints to see if the code you think is problematic is running at all

[low reef]

how would i go about doin that?

[fast osprey]

Writing print statements?

[low reef]

setting up the debugging

[fast osprey]

I can also tell you from watching about 15 seconds of this video that it recommends some pretty horrid practices

in general these video "tutorials" are very poor quality

[fast osprey]

Just writing print statements is sufficient

@commands.Cog.listener()
async def some_event(...):
  logic1()
  logic2()
  logic3()
  ...

With this code, it is completely indistinguishable between this event never running at all, vs any of these individually silently failing. You're going in blind.

@commands.Cog.listener()
async def some_event(...):
  print("the event fired")
  logic1()
  print("i did logic 1")
  logic2()
  print('i did logic 2")
  ...

This actually gives you some insight into what is happening. It's rudimentary, but you don't necessarily need something fancy for your own purposes that isn't meant for end users

[low reef]

thank you i appreciate it 👍

[quaint obsidian]

like what?

[low reef]

I did just as you suggested and sure enough the first 2 print but the next 2 do not. https://paste.pythondiscord.com/4L7Q , if udont mind, what do u think i should change with the ones that arent printing to get them to function properly?

[rose narwhal]

the button doesn't work after bot restart,

        await interaction.response.send_message(f"**✅ Ticket panel has been sent to {channel.mention}**")```

[fast osprey]

Code does not randomly stop executing. Are you seeing an error anywhere?

[low reef]

nope not seein any errors

[fast osprey]

A few things about this code:

• You don't need to declare the view class every time this function runs. You can declare it outside at the top level of your module just once.
• You should probably be using @app_commands.default_permissions rather than a local @app_commands.check
• If you want things to continue working after restart, check the persistent.py example in the repo (assuming you're using discord.py). It gives you two approaches for doing this

[fast osprey]

What is the code you use to start your bot? Do you get any logs from the library? Do you have any other error handlers you've declared?

[rose narwhal]

yeah, i saw persistent.py, but had a little bit difficulty understanding it, and I tried adding it to the bot using the add_view func but still it didn't work (sorry my english is bad :c)

[fast osprey]

You need to call add_view when the bot restarts

not when someone runs the command again

Notice in the example how they use it

[low reef]

it would be the main.py which is is that first paste i sent earlier, and the only log i see is a discord log thats just letting me know the client is logging in using my token. And I havent declared any other error handlers.

[rose narwhal]

hmm, so outside the command declaration right

[fast osprey]

At some point during your startup process most likely

Yeah you're disabling logging

[fast osprey]

I would recommend you remove asyncio.run, use bot.run instead, and migrate any setup into your bot's setup_hook

[low reef]

okay ill give that a shot, thanks again

[fast osprey]

Alternatively you could setup logging manually. But a lot of these tutorials go through this asyncio.run setup pointlessly without really realizing why

[rose narwhal]

tysm solstice

[smoky sinew]

This is horrible practice.

[fast osprey]

For one off debugging where attaching debuggers fries your bot, it's fine

[mild token]

i want to send new video publish link when some register streamer release video

how can i do that

[dry kelp]

def create_board_embed(
    message: disnake.Message, board_name: str, color: disnake.Color, _: int
) -> tuple[disnake.Embed, list[disnake.ui.Button]]:

    embed = disnake.Embed(title=f"{board_name.capitalize()} Message", color=color)
    embed.set_author(name=message.author.display_name, icon_url=message.author.display_avatar.url)

    description = message.content or ""

    if (
        message.reference
        and message.reference.resolved
        and not isinstance(message.reference.resolved, disnake.DeletedReferencedMessage)

        description = (
            f"**Replying to [{reply_message.author.display_name}]"
            f"({reply_message.jump_url})**\n\n{description}"
        )

    embed.description = description

    if message.attachments:

Why does the attachment issue, not uploading it as embed image

nvm found a fix.

Have you decided on what library you are going to use yet?

[topaz lodge]

Discord and discord.ext are the only ones I know

[stark ingot]

So discord.py?

Discord and discord.ext are what you import not the library that you pip install

I have not used it but I have seen this recommended for getting started with discord.py
https://fallendeity.github.io/discord.py-masterclass/

[topaz lodge]

Ye thats what I use

[rocky tree]

Do you need more resources aside from that?

[merry cliff]

https://fallendeity.github.io/discord.py-masterclass/

[topaz lodge]

Not unless there's anything you can think of that I might need

[rocky tree]

#discord-bots message

[merry cliff]

This is great

Oh lmao

[rocky tree]

I would recommend just generally reading the documentation
I understand if that's too much for you, though
It can be very overwhelming at times

[merry cliff]

There are also some examples in the discord.py github

[topaz lodge]

I will read through the documentation tomorrow when I can get on my pc

[trim moon]

Hi!
I have just made a Discord bot with python, and got it hosted on my raspberry pi. How do I publish it?

[hushed prawn]

hello I come to you I need help or an explanation I have a bot in py that uses the discord buttons but when the bot restarts the old button no longer works which is a problem for me since it works with the gateway session id the id changes with each restart do you have a solution to save all the buttons automatically in a json or other if possible I would like to know how to do it because I am lost

[stark ingot]

Can you explain what yu mean by publish?

[trim moon]

Put it in Discords find bots page.

[stark ingot]

What library are you using? You will need to add buttons to the bot with the same custom_ids as the buttons on discord

[trim moon]

Am I able to do that?

[rocky tree]

go to discord.dev

[hushed prawn]

requests + discord.py

[rocky tree]

did you see what i told you in #python-discussion

[hushed prawn]

no sorry

[hushed prawn]

async def profile(self, interaction: discord.Interaction, button: discord.ui.Button):

[rocky tree]

?

[hushed prawn]

because I had read that it was possible to save the button ids in a json but I didn't understand

[hushed prawn]

proof that yes I use 🙂

[rocky tree]

i didnt even

[stark ingot]

It depends on your usecase

[rocky tree]

okee

[hushed prawn]

well in fact there is an embed we fill it after it sends the information in a room with a button on it in order to react if the bot restarts the button no longer works which blocks my project

in the big lines

[stark ingot]

When you press the button what needs to be done?

even better can you show your button callback

[hushed prawn]

well once you press the button the bot sends a message in dm if the bot restarts the getwey changes so the button does not follow

[stark ingot]

I think all you have to do is verify your bot, then turn it on. I think you can verify your bot at any server count now too

[stark ingot]

Is the message always the same or does it have information related to that specific button?

[trim moon]

I want to publish it for others to find.

[stark ingot]

https://support-dev.discord.com/hc/en-us/articles/9506257727255-App-Directory-Intro

Yeah, this goes more in depth

[severe vault]

Can someone tell me wheres the main chat?

[stark ingot]

for python, help, or off topic discussion?

[severe vault]

About Programing chat?

[stark ingot]

#python-discussion #❓｜how-to-get-help #ot0-psvm’s-eternal-disapproval

the first one then

[hushed prawn]

the basic message remains the same only after sending the form the information changes but the base of the embed does not change nor the button an embed = a button

[stark ingot]

If i understand what you mean you should just be able to add custom_id = "The_Custom_ID_For_This_Button" to your button decorator

[hushed prawn]

I don't need to make a json that keeps everything? because it currently works but if the bot restarts then the getwey also changes since a connection an id that's the problem

[stark ingot]

You only need to keep track of the custom_ids whenyou are storing information in the view object that cannot be retrieved from the interaction

I have to go for a while and will be unable to help until I am back

[hushed prawn]

mhh okay

```I asked the question to chat gpt basically should I take inspiration from that?

[merry cliff]

have you tried using dynamic items instead? that way you dn't have t keep track of every button you send

[hushed prawn]

if I need to keep all the buttons precisely on 2 specific rooms

[merry cliff]

huh

https://fallendeity.github.io/discord.py-masterclass/views/#persistent-buttons

look at the dynamic item section

[hushed prawn]

that it is better to store everything or the dynamic because the problem is getwey if the bot restarts that the ids do not follow

[merry cliff]

then you don't need to store it anywhere and just do py bot.add_dynamic_items(you_dynamic_item)

the id will follow

because dynamic items store their data USING the id

[hushed prawn]

yes but the id with Gateway (Session ID: it does not follow if? if the bot restarts the id will change so the chain will be lost

[fast osprey]

nothing to do with the session id

whenever you send any component, that has a custom id on it. dynamic items put data into that custom id. That stays the same forever on the components on that message unless you edit it yourself

[hushed prawn]

I will try I just have to add the list no need for anything else?

[merry cliff]

what list

[hushed prawn]

?

[merry cliff]

please just reference the example shown in this guide

[hushed prawn]

okay

[hushed prawn]

the best I can do is go through dynamic or custom id or directly through a stock in json

[fast osprey]

json is not a storage solution

[hushed prawn]

okay

[young dagger]

Sorry I'm new to Discord buttons too. Would you consider this a dynamic or persistent view?
https://paste.pythondiscord.com/OMTA

[merry cliff]

that's persistent.

[young dagger]

What in the code would I need to change to make it dynamic?

[dry kelp]

This is my main, finally got undisabled, was using @dense scaffold acc 😂

[young dagger]

Hey man. I'm glad to hear that you recovered your old acc!

[dry kelp]

Are you using discord.py? I don't remember if i previously asked you

[young dagger]

Indeed I am

[dry kelp]

ah yes, sorry just seen the code

[fast osprey]

dynamic items are just another way of registering existing components to work. You don't need, or really want, to do both

[hushed prawn]

@bot.command()
async def envoyer(ctx, member: discord.Member):
view = AskBtn(target=member)
await ctx.send(f"Envoyer une demande à {member.display_name}", view=view)
it's good in dynamics finally you think that it solves the problem

[young dagger]

!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.

[hushed prawn]

sorry

@young dagger https://paste.pythondiscord.com/NR2Q 🙂

if you can tell me if it's like that I asked chat gpt for inspiration to be sure to start correctly

[fast osprey]

This isn't a dynamic item at all

you should never be creating a generic Button object and stapling callbacks onto it

[hushed prawn]

🤷‍♂️

I don't understand anything

[fast osprey]

It's probably the right play to read the official docs, then ask targeted questions on what you specifically don't understand

[hushed prawn]

https://paste.pythondiscord.com/IVJA is it better?

[frail yew]

anyone know how to add mutliple languages to discord bot

[fast osprey]

I think there's a misunderstanding here of what "dynamic" means

In the context of persisting/making buttons work after restart, this very specifically refers to buttons/selects that subclass DynamicItem and implement the methods mentioned in the example. Your code does not do that

[slate swan]

python bot = https://paste.pythondiscord.com/raw/YMXA
# notice that in line 94 u can change title and embad color

[vocal laurel]

?

[devout willow]

you are confusing us, Yousef.

[mint pecan]

what is the parameter kind in commands.Parameter? what do i set it to?

[golden portal]

that came from inspect.Parameter.kind, you're not suppose to set it, what are you trying to do?

!d inspect.Parameter.kind

[unkempt canyon]

inspect.Parameter.kind

Describes how argument values are bound to the parameter. The possible values are accessible via Parameter (like Parameter.KEYWORD_ONLY), and support comparison and ordering, in the following order:

[mint pecan]

i came across commands.Parameter and it gave me an error saying kind is required, well i figured it out to use commands.parameter instead

[golden portal]

commands.param for the shorten one

[hushed prawn]

🤷🤷🤷

[fast osprey]

[severe sonnet]

I need someone who have stripe and a confirmable country for me to confirm my bot, my friend country to confirm payout is not available anymore, and my country, Brazil, is also not available to confirm payout. I need help so my bot can be in more than 100 different servers, please can anyone help?

[stark ingot]

You need to find someone who you can trust. Not someone random. You have to transfer ownership of the bot to them so if it is someone random they can steal the bot

That person also needs to trust you because I believe the person who verifies is responsible for any legal actions that occurs

[severe sonnet]

complicated

i put all my efforts into this bot

but discord don't help

[stark ingot]

Yeah, I'm not sure why some regions are banned. But it would be worse if someone deleted your bot.

[severe sonnet]

i see

[topaz lodge]

why do i get an error when im importing dotenv

@stark ingot you should know

can u help?

[sage crown]

What environment are you using in your workspace?

[austere night]

Looks like VS code

[topaz lodge]

ye

[sage crown]

I mean like python virtual environment

[topaz lodge]

how do i check

[austere night]

open env and the /lib

and what version

[sage crown]

It should say in the corner, but you cut that off the screenshot

https://code.visualstudio.com/docs/python/environments#_select-and-activate-an-environment

[topaz lodge]

full screenshot

[sage crown]

Looks like you don't have a virtual environment selected

Show the full output of the pip command you ran?

[topaz lodge]

i have an interpreter if thats what u mean

[topaz lodge]

just getting it but my name is mentioned multiple times so im just getting chatgpt to change all of them to Admin

its a big message where do u want me to put it

should i put it in a file and send it here

@sage crown here https://paste.pythondiscord.com/IPGA

[sage crown]

The pypi package dotenv is actually a decoy intented to confuse you. You actually want python-dotenv

[topaz lodge]

??

do i put that in the code or cmd

[sage crown]

https://pypi.org/project/dotenv/ see how this was released in 2015?

[topaz lodge]

ye?

[sage crown]

Nothing that old will work anymore

[topaz lodge]

i already did it in cmd

[sage crown]

It's actually at https://pypi.org/project/python-dotenv/

[topaz lodge]

thats the one i used

[sage crown]

I know and it didn't work

[sage crown]

No it isn't

[topaz lodge]

no i used this one in cmd

[sage crown]

https://paste.pythondiscord.com/IPGA#1L1-L1

[topaz lodge]

It just says this:
pip install python-dotenv
Requirement already satisfied: python-dotenv in c:\users\Admin\appdata\local\programs\python\python311\lib\site-packages (1.0.1)

[sage crown]

Ah that's the wrong pip

[topaz lodge]

huh?

[sage crown]

You're using 3.12 in your project

And you installed it into 3.11

[topaz lodge]

oh?

how do i change/fix it

[sage crown]

You need to see what interpreter Vscode is using

If you use Ctrl + Shift + P and select interpreter it should show you which one you picked

You're better off creating a .venv virtual environment in your workspace folder though

[topaz lodge]

already selected

@sage crown

[sage crown]

Yeah so hit + create virtual environment

[topaz lodge]

@sage crown

[sage crown]

Hit show logs

[topaz lodge]

too late its loaded

its giving everything errors now -_-

[prime dove]

Maybe you have to pip install them again

[sage crown]

Now you need to install the deps into the created virtual environment

[topaz lodge]

how?

[sage crown]

If you open a terminal in vscode it should activate it for you

[topaz lodge]

ok

done nothing happened

[prime dove]

Meaning you still get those errors?

[sage crown]

Show the terminal?

[sage crown]

@topaz lodge ^

[topaz lodge]

?

[sage crown]

What do you get when you run where python?

[sage crown]

Hmm nothing?

What happens if you run the script? It should print the python version to the terminal as well

[topaz lodge]

hold on

i still have the imports underlined but it works?

[prime dove]

Could be a problem with the linter since you installed them in a venv, not sure tho

[sage crown]

Use python -c 'import sys; print(sys.executable)?

@topaz lodge ^

[silent portal]

for role.position, do I need to adjust the position for all roles? Cuz I have a "key-role" and I want to create a new one and set it over the "key-role".

I just got like role.edit(position=ey_role.position + 1)

and that doesn't quite work, the position is still at the bottom

when the role is newly created

and the bot role is on top of every role so it's not a permissions-issue

[pale turtle]

Hi. I'm trying to learn py-cord using this guide:
https://guide.pycord.dev/getting-started/creating-your-first-bot
But it seems to be outdated, and it doesn't work for me...(according to google this guide is for 1.x versions of pycord, whilst the newest one should be 2.x). Does anyone have a good tutorial that I can learn everything from?

[viscid hornet]

try it with discord.py instead

[viscid hornet]

try checking the documentation for Role.position

[pale turtle]

Long time ago when I tried discord.py, it didn't have a lot of features that other versions have. Does discord.py do everything that pycord can?

[prime dove]

Most probably

[pale turtle]

Alright. Is there some guide for starting and coding discord.py? Not just the docs

[slate swan]

No

Pycord is superior. Discord.py doesn’t let you record audio from voice channels.

AI GPT Calling is the future, thus pycord is the future

[slate swan]

I’d suggest pycord examples GitHub. They have a ton. Also just ask chatgpt for some.

Take inspiration from GitHub projects

[fast osprey]

chatgpt will tell you 3 isn't a prime number

what are you on about

Also audio receive isn't even supported by discord. It's also rife for privacy concerns, I have yet to see someone implement this legally and ethically

[glad cradle]

"legally" and "ethically", how?

it's not even documented so it's not supposed to be implemented at all

it's impossible to solve privacy concerns from a library perspective, IMO discord should do something about it: document the feature and enforce a new priviledged Intent or permission, and inform users with a prompt that it's being registered / listened by a Bot

[fast osprey]

In theory a bot could implement that opt in, plus protection of data privacy rights. I have yet to see someone even care about doing that though

But either way, weird criterion to pick a library on whether or not they support something the system itself doesn't even support

[glad cradle]

shouldn't a Bot like that be banned if discovered by discord, even though it protects the privacy of the users etc... it's still not supposed to be done

[fast osprey]

Discord refuses to ban things that are far more egregiously against law/tos

[glad cradle]

like? that's surprising

[fast osprey]

Mee6 continues to exist besides literally scamming people, violating gdpr, you name it

[glad cradle]

So in theory, me as a user could make a lawsuit to both mee6 team and discord

[fast osprey]

Yeah sure

I have an open gdpr complaint between carlbot and discord

[glad cradle]

not that i have the money

[viscid hornet]

pycord is a rewrite of discord.py

[glad cradle]

is this just a ticket in their help website?

[fast osprey]

No, they refused to respond to me so it is with my gdpr officer

[glad cradle]

huh, so did you put real money for that?

that's crazy

[fast osprey]

no it's free lol

[viscid hornet]

4o mini says otherwise

[fast osprey]

I too can cherry pick screenshots

point being not that it is never wrong, but that it is not always right and very confident about it

[stark ingot]

What exactly is not working? Almost everything in the guide should still work. If it does not I will update it.

The guide also has content for 2.x versions.
Note we do have a bug on our docs website that says that the docs are for version 0.1 but it is actually the latest version. Just a bug in the docs code

[viscid hornet]

good point

[viscid hornet]

i literally just tested it 😭

[fast osprey]

The example I had was less of a direct question. It gets confused when it has to juggle multiple concepts, and will very confidently assert things that are blatantly wrong

[devout willow]

Could someone show me how to make a slash command option accept attachment upload within Pycord?

    async def new(self, ctx: discord.ApplicationContext, attachment: discord.SlashCommandOptionType.attachment= discord.Option(description="Upload optional attachment", required=False)):

I have also tried:

discord.Attachment

both end up as string inputs ¯_(ツ)_/¯

[devout willow]

It will usually assert whatever you ask.

[scarlet tiger]

You can follow this example:

[devout willow]

😭

an option decorator would be lovely, but that just gets me errors

[scarlet tiger]

Why?

I personally use the decorators

But you can use the Option object directly in the function parameter

[devout willow]

could you link docs about them?

[scarlet tiger]

https://docs.pycord.dev/en/stable/api/application_commands.html#discord.commands.option

This decorator can take all the parameters of discord.Option() but you have to pass it the name of the function argument as the first argument.

As in the example I sent you

[devout willow]

just out of curiosity what do your imports look like for this example?

[scarlet tiger]

You can import from the discord module

from discord import option, ApplicationContext, ...

[devout willow]

Your example works, I just had to add 'discord.' in front of things 😔
Very enlightening, TY.

[scarlet tiger]

[blazing beacon]

tsk tsk imagine not using o1 preview (i havent used it either)

[marble prism]

Hi?

I haven't seen you in a while mf

[pale turtle]

Yeah it's been a long long time

[marble prism]

Imagine coming back then immediately trying to make a discord bot again

At least learn something new 😭

[pale turtle]

I'm bored honestly

I learned way too many things in the time I was gone

[dire marlin]

yo i needed help with a discord bot (sort of)

its not exactly a discord bot but a script that automates something within discord and idk where else to ask

need help getting auto captcha working

[copper ivy]

is it worth to make a discord bot in python ?

[prime dove]

If you're talking about selfbots, do know that it is against discord TOS

[prime dove]

It depends, it could be a good learning project

[dire marlin]

define selfbot

[prime dove]

Automating user accounts

[dire marlin]

as in using a script to type for me?

[prime dove]

Since you said it's not exactly a discord bot

Type for you? Send messages through your account without you actually doing it? Yes, that's selfbotting.

[dire marlin]

import pyautogui
import time

time.sleep(5)

while True:
pyautogui.write("/fish")
time.sleep(0.1)
pyautogui.press('tab')
time.sleep(0.1)
pyautogui.press('enter')
time.sleep(15)

so this is a selfbot

if so im not using it ;]

[prime dove]

It's not

Actually, is that all the code?

[dire marlin]

as of now yes

[prime dove]

What are you even trying to do? Run slash commands?

[dire marlin]

i just open my discord and run that (allegedly)

[dire marlin]

its a fishing minigame in a server

/fish and you catch a fish and sell it

[prime dove]

Ah, yeah I don't think that counts as selfbotting exactly

[dire marlin]

it works but i need a way to detect the captchas and solve them

[prime dove]

Which captchas are we talking about?

[dire marlin]

never done any complex project before only minor school stuff hence im struggling pretty bad

tried a brute force approach and got timed out from fishing for an hour 😭

[prime dove]

Well of course, you'd want to maintain a time gap with each time you run it at least, and with the captcha, you're on your own

[dire marlin]

you get something like 3 attempts at the captcha before you get a punishment with no time limit

[prime dove]

You have to enter it yourself/not brute force it so you don't get the captcha at all, again, I have never used that bot so

[dire marlin]

i worded that badly, the 3 attempts arent timed - you get three tries before a penalty

[fast osprey]

It is against tos to write any automation that utilizes a user token

[dire marlin]

I’m not using my or any token so I’m good

[fast osprey]

how do you think the discord client communicates with discord

there is not a meaningful distinction between automation clicking on the client and automation making calls directly

[dire marlin]

I’m not smart enough to know what you mean

[sick birch]

you cannot automate a user account in any way

[dire marlin]

I gathered but I’m basically just using pyautogui to type and click for me so surely there’s a way to detect the captcha messages on my screen without having to incorporate my account in the script

[sick birch]

this is not allowed

[dire marlin]

Aw

okay then how can I detect an image on my screen for an u related project

[sick birch]

it is pretty obvious this is related. Don’t ask about this project again

[dire marlin]

🗿👍

tbf didn’t know it wasn’t allowed but mb

[stark ingot]

In general if any sort of game is

• connected to the internet in any way
• OR has a leaderboard/point system of some sort.
  It will be breaking a rule from someone. It is also not fun for other people who are playing the game without cheating. Also after you run a script like that there is no fun in the game for you anymore so you will end up quitting anyways.

How to fix this

[fast osprey]

What library are you using?

[civic blade]

idk how can I check

[stark ingot]

show your pip list

[fast osprey]

You also installed some discord library at some point

[stark ingot]

Generally you should know tho

!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.

[civic blade]

https://paste.pythondiscord.com/BQYA

[stark ingot]

all of the above 😭

How much code do you have so far?

[fast osprey]

You ultimately will need to pick one discord library, uninstall the rest, and then reinstall that one

[stark ingot]

You have to decided what library you are using or that you want to use because you currently have 5+ installed

They break each other if they are installed at the same time

[civic blade]

can I just delete everything and just install python again too my pc and install the discord import

so I mean to delete python from pc

[fast osprey]

You could, but you really don't need to

[stark ingot]

Im not sure if deleting python removes packages

[fast osprey]

Throwing the baby out with the bathwater. Just uninstall the packages you don't need

[stark ingot]

It would help if you used a virtual environment like venv so you can sort your packages better.

@dapper cobalt ??

[dapper cobalt]

What does users[str(user.id)] return?

[zinc lichen]

Users is a helper function and it loads the json file named mainbank.json

[dapper cobalt]

Yeah, what does it return

[zinc lichen]

Oh

[dapper cobalt]

Try printing users[str(user.id)]

[zinc lichen]

users[str(user.id)] = {}

{"1229961335287058545": {"Wallet": 10000, "Bank": 9990000, "Bag": []}}

[dapper cobalt]

Does it print {}?

[zinc lichen]

The number are the id

[zinc lichen]

Is that helps

[dapper cobalt]

In that case, can u screenshot line 335 and 318?

[zinc lichen]

for i, item in enumerate(users(str(interaction.user.id)["Bag"])):

Both are same

[dapper cobalt]

I'm not sure, but you can try replacing it with this:

for item in users(str(interaction.user.id)["Bag"]):
  if item["ID"] == id:

[zinc lichen]

I tried

Btw I gotta go

[dapper cobalt]

Hold, i found the problem

You replaced [] with ()

for item in users[str(interaction.user.id)["Bag"]]:

Should work

[pale turtle]

Does anyone have a bot using pycord on github I can take a look at and see how y'all did it? Trying to figure pycord out

[vocal laurel]

https://github.com/Pycord-Development/pycord/tree/master/examples

These are all examples provided from pycord

[pale turtle]

Yeah but these are single files. I'm trying to see a project that used cogs and stuff

[fast osprey]

Cogs have nothing to do with files

[stark ingot]

https://github.com/Dorukyum/Bond This is a bot by one of the core devs of py-cord. Im pretty sure it follows best practices.
Hope it is not too advanced

[pale turtle]

I mean like these files create the bot instance and a single command there, and creating commands in cogs is abit different so I wanted to see some examples of a project using cogs

[pale turtle]

alright thank you

[stark ingot]

I did not want to recommend my old bot as the code is not very good but the link I sent does things in a more advanced way then needed. I guess it was not the best example.
https://github.com/Icebluewolf/SurveyWolf/tree/main/bot is a more beginner friendly way to look at making cogs.

[fast osprey]

IMO these examples that conflate extensions with cogs, and that imply they must be 1:1, are a bit reductive. I strongly suggest reading the docs on these concepts separately and making informed decisions, vs just repeating a pattern

[stark ingot]

I see what you mean but the docs themselves even suggest that they are used one-one most of the time.

I also dont know any examples that do not use them one-one, so I cant do much

[marble prism]

Use discord.py fr

Forget about the old news that it got discontinued

It's maintained rn

[stark ingot]

Thats not really good advice

[marble prism]

Uh

I know Nir is asking about pycord because he's thinking dpy is unmaintained

[stark ingot]

They choose to use pycord there is no point to switching

[marble prism]

I'm not advising a stranger

[scarlet tiger]

pycord is better than discord.py in some things

I tried both and it's easier to understand (for me)

[marble prism]

There aren't much differences that affect understanding

[scarlet tiger]

I had problems with creating application commands in discord.py and searching for solutions on Google I found that library and it was easy to understand

[fast osprey]

You have to respond within 3 seconds

[young dagger]

How do I fix this?

[fast osprey]

Respond within 3 seconds 😂

[stark ingot]

or defer

to get up to 15 minutes

[fast osprey]

That itself has to be done within 3 seconds

So either there are long running processes before you respond, or your entire bot has something blocking

[young dagger]

Here is my code https://paste.pythondiscord.com/ONSA

[fast osprey]

You should not be making generic views and buttons and stapling callbacks onto them

Either way this is taking more than 3 seconds and it's on you to debug why

(As an aside, static image based captcha is effectively useless. This isn't giving you anything besides pissing off users)

[young dagger]

What should I do instead?

[hushed prairie]

how do i fix this?

[stark ingot]

There is an arrow in the error that is pointing to what is wrong.
: is not a valid character for being in between and object and a method

[hushed prairie]

oh

i fixed it

showed me another error now

[finite salmon]

Show

[hushed prairie]

nvm i fixed it, thanks anyway

[fast osprey]

Make view classes

[young dagger]

Is this better?
https://paste.pythondiscord.com/VE7A

[slim bloom]

skibidi dop dop

[fast osprey]

Beyond the fact that image captchas don't do anything, yes

[young dagger]

Did you see the captcha images to determine that?

[quick gust]

I think what they mean is, the fact that it's a set of predefined images that will eventually (and commonly) repeat, renders it pretty useless

[fast osprey]

The purpose of captcha is to prevent automatic processes from doing something. Simple static images where you detect a word in it does not accomplish that. These are trivially easy to break

[young dagger]

Once one of the views times out, it affects the other instances as well, leading to the second set of buttons becoming unresponsive. Do you have any clue why? @fast osprey

[fast osprey]

You have multiple view types here. You need to be more specific

[young dagger]

So when they click on "Click to Verify" it sends the embed with the buttons. After 60 seconds (see the timeout in the CaptchaAnswerView class), I want it to remove the message. It does remove the message, but it times out if they have another instance as well (not removing it, but it stops responding to it)

[fast osprey]

What is the exact flow you're following?

[young dagger]

I want to delete the embed that is created with async def start_verification

After 60 seconds

[fast osprey]

I mean what do you in discord

This "other instance" isn't really well explained

[young dagger]

There is a timeout for class CaptchaAnswerView. When there are two instances open and the first times out, the second one stops responding too, even within the 60 seconds

How are these two connected to the same timeout?

[fast osprey]

What are you doing in discord

I still don't know what this "instance" is

[young dagger]

Did you check the code?

[fast osprey]

I did

That does not tell me what you're doing in discord

[young dagger]

@discord.ui.button(label="Click to Verify", style=discord.ButtonStyle.secondary, emoji=discord.PartialEmoji(name="check_mark", id=check_mark_emoji_id), custom_id='verification:start')

This one sends a message right

[fast osprey]

What are you doing in discord

Step by step

[young dagger]

They click on Click to Verify it sends them await interaction.response.send_message(embed=embed, file=file, view=view, ephemeral=True)

The view is received from class CaptchaAnswerView

There is a timeout super().__init__(timeout=60)

On timeout it disabled the buttons
async def on_timeout(self): for item in self.children: if isinstance(item, discord.ui.Button): item.disabled = True

When it does, it disable other buttons too

[fast osprey]

Where are these "other buttons"

[young dagger]

You click once and wait 40 seconds, and click again. You are expecting the first one to timeout in 20 seconds, but so does the second one

[fast osprey]

How are they coming to exist

[young dagger]

What does this mean?

[fast osprey]

You're the one saying "other button"

You tell me dude

[young dagger]

Buttons*

[fast osprey]

What actually happens on message 2? Is this all of your code? What you're describing isn't default behavior

You can debug this by giving the view instances some kind of uuid if you want and logging that out

[young dagger]

The first one is expected to be time outed (after 60 seconds), not the second one (after 20 seconds)

@fast osprey

[fast osprey]

You need to do some debugging here

And not just look at the code and guess

Is the timeout method being called? Are these the same actual python objects?

[young dagger]

Yes. Is this how you would do it?
https://paste.pythondiscord.com/ILRA

view.message = message

Than use it for class CaptchaAnswerView

    async def on_timeout(self):
        for item in self.children:
            item.disabled = True
        if self.message:
            await self.message.edit(view=self)

[fast osprey]

How do you know if that is being called?

[young dagger]

on timeout?

[fast osprey]

At all

This is what debugging is for

[zinc gust]

t'as essayer pip install aiosqlite?

ou tu l'a deja fait ?

[slow hollow]

J’ai trouver l’erreur, avoir accès aux database sur daki c’est payant

[young dagger]

Yes, the timeout is being called

[fast osprey]

But it's not actually editing the message

[sick birch]

        message = await interaction.response.send_message(embed=embed, file=file, view=view, ephemeral=True) # noqa
        view.message = message

pretty sure this doesn't work discord.InteractionResponse.send_message returns None

That would result in an error when they later try to use it, which is probably at least part of the problem

if they don't see that error, that's the first thing to fix

[sick birch]

looks like this is the only place it's being used:

        # Edit the original message to disable the buttons
        if self.message:
            await self.message.edit(view=self)

[young dagger]

There is no error message. My problem is on_timeout method currently doesn’t distinguish between different users

[sick birch]

though it is a bit strange that actions taken on one view affects all of them

[fast osprey]

calling .edit on None would cause an error

so you're either not calling that, or you're eating the error and you need to fix that

[sick birch]

        # Edit the original message to disable the buttons
        if self.message:
            await self.message.edit(view=self)

i think you need to think about this a bit more. it seems like you slapped it on there because the type checker was complaining at you (and rightfully so) without thinking of why or the consequences

[young dagger]

I removed it, and it's still timing out for all users
https://paste.pythondiscord.com/DHMA

[sick birch]

though tbh the way i've always done it is use view.wait() to wait for the view to expire from within the caller rather than handle it in on_timeout

[fast osprey]

And how many timeout methods are firing?

[young dagger]

Once for every instance

[fast osprey]

If they are separate instances, it's not the library

and if you've proven that

on_timeout fires when that view object times out, which happens x seconds after the last interaction on that object

[young dagger]

The buttons stop working in betweeen

For both users

When view timeouts for first user, it does that for second user as well

[fast osprey]

Why are there multiple users

you were saying you clicked on it

[silent portal]

what is the rate-limit for changing a channel name? I have a loop that runs every minute which changes a channels name and I'm getting rate-limited

[fast osprey]

You should not be doing that

discord does not want you rapidly changing channel names

[silent portal]

why not tho

it's like showing the stats of the server

[fast osprey]

That's what they decided. Channel names aren't for that

[silent portal]

members, members in VC currently

stuff like that

[fast osprey]

they are meant to show the purpose of a channel. Not a placeholder for random data

[silent portal]

damn

ok

[young dagger]

Because I tried with my alt account to see if it affects other users as well, and it does

[fast osprey]

None of those prints tell you whether or not it's the same object

[sick birch]

2 changes per 10 minutes iirc

i dont think its officially documented and is subject to change but that's what i've noticed

[silent portal]

for one specific channel? Or globaly

[sick birch]

per channel

[silent portal]

okay

[sick birch]

(i think)

[silent portal]

ty

btw keep the grind in satisfactory 🔥

fwiw #697138785317814292 message

[sick birch]

i see

thanks

[sick birch]

can you show us your full code

[young dagger]

Sure

[young dagger]

https://paste.pythondiscord.com/OUCQ

[fast osprey]

there is no print, and you just removed the timeout completely?

This isn't going to work well if you run code A when you tell us what's happening and then send us code B

[young dagger]

Yes I removed the print. The issue is still the same

I didn't change the codes behaviour by removing one print

[sick birch]

so let me get this straight:

• user 1 clicks "Click to verify" button, embed with button gets sent for them (view 1)
• 20 seconds passes
• user 2 clicks "Click to verify" button, embed with buttons gets set for them (view 2)
• 40 seconds passes
• view 1 times out, causing view 2 to also time out?

[fast osprey]

No, but you remove our ability to check your work

[young dagger]

Yes

[sick birch]

[fast osprey]

That just isn't how timeouts work in the library

[sick birch]

something else is going on here

[young dagger]

I have been trying to solve this for 8 hours now

[sick birch]

are your interactions still failing when you press the button?

[young dagger]

How do you mean?

[sick birch]

is this still happening

[young dagger]

When I press on Click to Verify it creates new instances yes

[sick birch]

no, i mean when you click on one of the buttons 1-4, does it work as expected?

[young dagger]

Yes, but it has to be a fresh instance after the timeout

So it's time outing out all instances that are "running"

[sick birch]

and you believe that because your alt account was unable to use the buttons after your main account had allowed it to elapse the timeout?

[young dagger]

Yes

[young dagger]

Because if I create two instances by my own, both of them stops working after first gets timed out

[sick birch]

are you creating them at the same time?

[fast osprey]

Can you put the prints back in, show us that code, and do it with one account

[young dagger]

No, close to the timeout just to make sure

[sick birch]

so the 2nd instance pretty much stops responding almost immediately?

[young dagger]

Timeout set to **10 seconds **for this example

• user 1 "Click to verify" button, embed with button gets sent for them (view 1)
• 5 seconds passes
• user 2 clicks "Click to verify" button, embed with buttons gets set for them
• 5 seconds passes
• view 1 times out, causing view 2 non responding
• 5 seconds passes
• view 2 times out

[sick birch]

^ also do this. include timestamps for when the view was sent, along with the timestamps for when it was expired and for what user

[sick birch]

this is expected.

10 seconds passes
at this point it's been 15 seconds since view 1 was sent, so it's already timed out
it's also been 10 seconds since view 2 was sent, so it just times out

[young dagger]

My bad

[young dagger]

I changed it

[sick birch]

view 1 times out, causing view 2 non responding
5 seconds passes
view 2 times out
how are you making a differentiation between "not responding" and "timing out"?

[young dagger]

This interaction failed

[sick birch]

it does the same thing for timeouts

[young dagger]

I know

[sick birch]

so how are you differentiating between not responding and timeout?

if the end result is the same?

[young dagger]

It's happening in between before last print

[sick birch]

yes, we asked to show the code with those print statements

[fast osprey]

And we don't know how those prints are behaving. Because you removed them

[young dagger]

https://paste.pythondiscord.com/BO2A

Line 87

[fast osprey]

That's not the timeout

[young dagger]

It could be eaither way right?

[fast osprey]

No

timing out is not the only way views finish

[young dagger]

True. But there is no way to click on the buttons for user 2

[sick birch]

you need to check that the wait method returned True

[young dagger]

So I assume it's from the timeout

[fast osprey]

You shouldn't assume

you should log from the timeout

More logs don't cost you anything

[sick birch]

also if you could attach timestamps that would be useful

maybe look into actual logging later

[young dagger]

@fast osprey @sick birch Tried to click on one of the four buttons in between red

Code: https://paste.pythondiscord.com/HT2A

[fast osprey]

So clearly they aren't timing out at the same time

[young dagger]

No but why does the second instance stops working?

[fast osprey]

Because it timed out?

[young dagger]

You said yourself that they didn't time out at the same time, and I tried before the second timeout

Marked in red

[fast osprey]

Views time out if they have not been interacted with for the duration of the timeout

[sick birch]

ok so they are timing out individually

[fast osprey]

nothing else causes that

[sick birch]

can you do the same thing like this but add a timestamp for when a user presses a button:

class CaptchaAnswerButton(discord.ui.Button):
    ...
    async def callback(self, interaction: discord.Interaction):
        print(f"[{discord.utils.utcnow().strftime("%Y-%m-%d %H:%M:%S")}] User pressed button {self.label}")

[fast osprey]

It's also not entirely clear that this label is unique

[young dagger]

No print from CaptchaAnswerButton

[sick birch]

really? and the print is the first line?

[young dagger]

You said the exact same thing right? Open 2 instances and wait for the first one to time out

[sick birch]

no, click on it before it times out

[young dagger]

So open two instances and click on one of the buttons (1-4) before the first one times out?

[sick birch]

after the first one times out, but before the 2nd one does. increase the timeout to give yourself more time if necessary

if the 2nd one responds fine even if the first one is timed out then your views are working as intended

[young dagger]

Same issue, and no print from class CaptchaAnswerButton

[sick birch]

can you give a step by step of what exactly you did on discord

[young dagger]

• Pressed "Click to verify" button (1)
• Waited 5 seconds
• Pressed "Click to verify" button (2)
• View 1 timed out (10 seconds)
• View 2 is not responding

After that View 2 timed out as well

Same as before

[sick birch]

so the callback is not being called even though the view is not timed out

[young dagger]

But only if there is more than one instance

[sick birch]

try removing the custom_id argument in CaptchaAnswerButton's super initializer

[sick birch]

isn't discord.py supposed to generate one

are you using add_view anywhere?

[fast osprey]

It does

[young dagger]

Yes for persistent view

class VerificationCog(commands.Cog):
    def __init__(self, bot: commands.Bot):
        self.bot = bot
        self.bot.add_view(VerificationView())

[sick birch]

comment it out for now

[young dagger]

But then I can't click on the Click to Verify button

[sick birch]

is the button you're trying to click from earlier, before a restart?

[young dagger]

Yes

[sick birch]

just send a new one

[young dagger]

Doesn't change anything, same issue

[young dagger]

I added time.time() for the custom ID for the CaptchaAnswerButton and it solved the issue

class CaptchaAnswerButton(discord.ui.Button):
def init(self, label: str, correct_answer: str):
super().init(label=label, style=discord.ButtonStyle.secondary, custom_id=f'captcha:{label}:{time.time()}')

[sick birch]

that makes sense

it probably wants a unique button ID

though i'm not sure why discord.py isn't generating one for you

[young dagger]

What would make it more unique than using time?

[sick birch]

maybe a UUID

[young dagger]

Do you know what could cause this?

[young dagger]

Should be enough?

        self.unique_id = str(uuid.uuid4())
        super().__init__(label=label, style=discord.ButtonStyle.secondary, custom_id=f'captcha:{label}:{time.time()}:{self.unique_id}')

[young dagger]

Never mind, I changed some things that depended on the custom_id, removed the custom_id, and it’s still working

Thanks Robin

Hello

I am trying to make a transcript for my discord ticket bot, so it can record the messages and any info inside the channel

But i keep failing

Can someone help me?

[fast osprey]

Are the users consenting to having their messages recorded, and are you giving them a mechanism to ask for their data to be deleted?

[hard jay]

What do you think this is, A Court Room?

[fast osprey]

Not really the answer of someone who has thought about those things, which is in the TOS

[hard jay]

Okay but my ticket is for support only and i made a custom ticket bot. I just need my transcript to be saved in a channel for future learning.

Also i made the transcript to be saved but when i go to view it, it's with a white background with no colours nor logos

[fast osprey]

Right, and if you take messages that users sent and put them somewhere else, that needs to be communicated in your privacy policy and you need to give them a way to request you to delete it.

Alternatively, leave the messages as-is in an archived discord thread where their privacy rights are maintained

[hard jay]

Yes i made a separate channel for that
