#

so yeah more or less

wary ravine Sep 6, 2021, 4:39 PM

#

you could say InvalidArgument is thrown when the command can't be completed

reef trail Sep 6, 2021, 4:39 PM

#

yes

wary ravine Sep 6, 2021, 4:39 PM

#

saying "can't be completed" is vague

reef trail Sep 6, 2021, 4:39 PM

#

I mean it cant really get more descriptive than that

#

Cant be completed cause of an error

#

Shrug

wary ravine Sep 6, 2021, 4:40 PM

#

what's more descriptive out of these two:
Forbidden – You do not have permissions to edit the channel.

Forbidden – The command cannot be completed.

reef trail Sep 6, 2021, 4:40 PM

#

Forbidden is thrown when something cant be done, like regardless of an error

#

afaik

wary ravine Sep 6, 2021, 4:41 PM

#

no, it's thrown when the user hasn't got permissions

reef trail Sep 6, 2021, 4:41 PM

#

no? MissingPermissions is

wary ravine Sep 6, 2021, 4:41 PM

#

which is entirely different to "the command can't be done"

wary ravine Sep 6, 2021, 4:41 PM

#

reef trail no? MissingPermissions is

that's thrown when the bot hasn't got permissions

reef trail Sep 6, 2021, 4:41 PM

#

No

wary ravine Sep 6, 2021, 4:41 PM

#

bot != user

reef trail Sep 6, 2021, 4:41 PM

#

BotMissingPermissions

#

is when the bot doesnt have the perms

wary ravine Sep 6, 2021, 4:41 PM

#

Forbidden – You do not have permissions to edit the channel.

reef trail Sep 6, 2021, 4:41 PM

#

ASkitsyMstare

wary ravine Sep 6, 2021, 4:41 PM

#

explain this

reef trail Sep 6, 2021, 4:42 PM

#

I guess forbidden is an umbrella exception

cloud dawn Sep 6, 2021, 4:42 PM

#

The command does not have a permission check so it cannot be the user, it has to be the bot.

wary ravine Sep 6, 2021, 4:42 PM

#

Forbidden – You do not have permissions to edit the channel.

reef trail Sep 6, 2021, 4:43 PM

So are you the owner of the bot?

reef trail Sep 6, 2021, 4:43 PM

#

I assumed they are

wary ravine Sep 6, 2021, 4:44 PM

#

cloud dawn So are you the owner of the bot?

no i just have someone else's code in my editor

#

obviously i'm the owner

reef trail Sep 6, 2021, 4:44 PM

#

welp

#

lmao1

cloud dawn Sep 6, 2021, 4:44 PM

#

You'd be surprised how many people fork codes.

wary ravine Sep 6, 2021, 4:44 PM

#

either way yes i am the owner

reef trail Sep 6, 2021, 4:44 PM

#

Does your bots integreation role have the perms it needs

wary ravine Sep 6, 2021, 4:44 PM

#

integration role

cloud dawn Sep 6, 2021, 4:45 PM

#

Remove the ctx.send() and if the error still occurs it's the channel edit permission.

reef trail Sep 6, 2021, 4:45 PM

#

wary ravine integration role

yeah, the role thats given to your bot when you invite it to a server

wary ravine Sep 6, 2021, 4:45 PM

#

reef trail yeah, the role thats given to your bot when you invite it to a server

it has another role with sufficient permissions

reef trail Sep 6, 2021, 4:45 PM

#

give it admin and see what happens

wary ravine Sep 6, 2021, 4:46 PM

#

cloud dawn Remove the ctx.send() and if the error still occurs it's the channel edit permis...

what good will removing ctx.send do

reef trail Sep 6, 2021, 4:46 PM

#

Most of the time the permissions it has dont seem to work in my experience

cloud dawn Sep 6, 2021, 4:47 PM

#

wary ravine what good will removing ctx.send do

Concealing the error, If you know what is causing the error fixing it will be a lot easier.

wary ravine Sep 6, 2021, 4:47 PM

#

then it's edit

reef trail Sep 6, 2021, 4:47 PM

#

Consider try excepting the edit then

#

then return the error

cloud dawn Sep 6, 2021, 4:48 PM

#

try/except won't really fix his issue since it will just throw forbidden again.

reef trail Sep 6, 2021, 4:48 PM

#

hmm

#

true, god i hate dpy sometimes

#

Forbidden is so vague

wary ravine Sep 6, 2021, 4:48 PM

#

reef trail Forbidden is thrown when something cant be done, like regardless of an error

.

#

"something can't be done"

cloud dawn Sep 6, 2021, 4:48 PM

#

Not dpy's fault error code from discord is just an 404 code.

reef trail Sep 6, 2021, 4:49 PM

#

Well yeah, but theres obviously something else happening and its not being shown

slate swan Sep 6, 2021, 4:49 PM

#

👀

#

Can you give the whole tb?

cloud dawn Sep 6, 2021, 4:49 PM

#

I'm assuming members and boosts are getting defined correctly..

wary ravine Sep 6, 2021, 4:50 PM

#

yes

reef trail Sep 6, 2021, 4:50 PM

#

you 100% sure?

wary ravine Sep 6, 2021, 4:50 PM

#

slate swan Can you give the whole tb?

i get my bot to send the tb to the ctx channel and for some reason it doesnt provide the full tb

slate swan Sep 6, 2021, 4:50 PM

wary ravine i get my bot to send the tb to the ctx channel and for some reason it doesnt pro...

Can you send what you got at least?

wary ravine Sep 6, 2021, 4:51 PM

#

.

#

@reef trail @cloud dawn yes it is an issue with the bot's permissions

#

i've just compared it to a role with admin

slate swan Sep 6, 2021, 4:51 PM

#

Oh okay, it's the bot that doesn't have permissions it seems.

reef trail Sep 6, 2021, 4:51 PM

#

Who would have guessed

slate swan Sep 6, 2021, 4:51 PM

#

Buddy, you said you are using his code on your editor

cloud dawn Sep 6, 2021, 4:51 PM

#

You don't get the full traceback because you catch the error inside on_command_error then it leaves out the full tb

slate swan Sep 6, 2021, 4:52 PM

#

Those channel ID's must be ID's on his server

#

Where the bot can't manage

wary ravine Sep 6, 2021, 4:52 PM

#

slate swan Buddy, you said you are using his code on your editor

i was being sarcastic.

slate swan Sep 6, 2021, 4:52 PM

reef trail Sep 6, 2021, 4:52 PM

#

lol

wary ravine Sep 6, 2021, 4:53 PM

#

slate swan Those channel ID's must be ID's on his server

and even if that was the case, it wouldnt throw a forbidden error

slate swan Sep 6, 2021, 4:53 PM

#

does the bot have permissions to edit the channel you passed in for the ID? because that error seems to say the bot doesn't have permission

cloud dawn Sep 6, 2021, 4:53 PM

#

Best to take everything here with a grain or 10 million of salt shipit

slate swan Sep 6, 2021, 4:53 PM

#

but we can't be sure even because you aren't getting the whole tb

cloud dawn Sep 6, 2021, 4:53 PM

#

Let's focus on the full traceback first imo pithink

wary ravine Sep 6, 2021, 4:54 PM

#

ok ill remove the error thingy

#

for a sec

#

bot has these perms

slate swan Sep 6, 2021, 4:55 PM

#

wary ravine bot has these perms

okay that's guild, check channel permissions as well.

#

and also, by the way

#

#

that's how you get full tb

cloud dawn Sep 6, 2021, 4:58 PM

#

Or just comment out the catch in the on_command_error

#

Or raise it in the command

slate swan Sep 6, 2021, 4:59 PM

#

cloud dawn Or just comment out the catch in the on_command_error

traceback scraping?

#

yeah. but he probably did was on command error await send error

cloud dawn Sep 6, 2021, 4:59 PM

#

slate swan traceback scraping?

He formatted his TB to be inside the discord text channel -> https://discordapp.com/channels/267624335836053506/343944376055103488/884477202698240000

#

He only got the error type.

slate swan Sep 6, 2021, 5:00 PM

#

yeah, because he probably just printed error

slate swan Sep 6, 2021, 5:00 PM

slate swan

doing this should get you the full tb

A [`check()`](https://discordpy.readthedocs.io/en/stable/ext/commands/api.html#discord.ext.commands.check "discord.ext.commands.check") that is added that checks if any of the checks passed will pass, i.e. using logical OR.

is_onwer is meant for the bot owner not the guild owner.

buttons is a part of the discord_components package, which includes selections, button styles, etc

wary ravine Sep 6, 2021, 6:03 PM

cloud dawn `is_onwer` is meant for the bot owner not the guild owner.

yeah i'm aware

cloud dawn Sep 6, 2021, 6:03 PM

Then why can't you use has_permissions

wary ravine Sep 6, 2021, 6:07 PM

#

cloud dawn Then why can't you use has_permissions

@commands.command()
@commands.has_permissions(**perms)
async def command():
    #will work if anyone has permissions set in has_permissions

@commands.command()
@commands.has_permissions(**perms)
@commands.is_owner()
async def command():
    #has_permissions overrides is_owner, 
    #so even if i am the bot's owner,

but uhhh I don't think that works lmao

wary ravine ```py @commands.command() @commands.has_permissions(**perms) async def command()...

has_permissions doesn't override anything

wary ravine Sep 6, 2021, 6:09 PM

oh so you're telling me if i run the command and i'm missing a permission in has_permissions but i have is_owner then it will work

No i told you 10 minutes ago all checks have to be true

#

So why didn't you just tell me you want them to be optional.

i never said optional

#

so will this work then

    @commands.command(name = "refresh", description = "refreshes the member and boost counts")
    @commands.has_permissions(manage_channels = True)
    @commands.check_any(commands.is_owner(), is_guild_owner())

yert

#

Yes

hasty iron Sep 6, 2021, 6:13 PM

i mean, if you're the bot owner that doesn't necessarily mean you have permissions

#

I'm not aware that i was trying to present that idea

cloud dawn Sep 6, 2021, 6:16 PM

I also don't get why you are checking for the permission because the owner would have admin perms anyways

pliant gulch Sep 6, 2021, 6:23 PM

msg is a discord.Message object, you need to access content attribute of msg either via dotnotation or getattr. Then you have to the use TextChannelConverter to get the corresponding channel object

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.pydis.com/

After pasting your code, save it by clicking the floppy disk icon in the top right, or by typing ctrl + S. After doing that, the URL should change. Copy the URL and post it here so others can see it.

what's the best way to get a user's reply after sending a message?

hasty iron Sep 6, 2021, 6:33 PM

#

!d discord.Client.wait_for

unkempt canyonBOT Sep 6, 2021, 6:33 PM

#

discord.Client.wait\_for


wait_for(event, *, check=None, timeout=None)```
This function is a [*coroutine*](https://docs.python.org/3/library/asyncio-task.html#coroutine).

Waits for a WebSocket event to be dispatched.

This could be used to wait for a user to reply to a message, or to react to a message, or to edit a message in a self-contained way.

The `timeout` parameter is passed onto [`asyncio.wait_for()`](https://docs.python.org/3/library/asyncio-task.html#asyncio.wait_for "(in Python v3.9)"). By default, it does not timeout. Note that this does propagate the [`asyncio.TimeoutError`](https://docs.python.org/3/library/asyncio-exceptions.html#asyncio.TimeoutError "(in Python v3.9)") for you in case of timeout and is provided for ease of use.

In case the event returns multiple arguments, a [`tuple`](https://docs.python.org/3/library/stdtypes.html#tuple "(in Python v3.9)") containing those arguments is returned instead. Please check the [documentation](https://discordpy.readthedocs.io/en/stable/api.html#discord-api-events) for a list of events and their parameters.

This function returns the **first event that meets the requirements**...

tasks are meant to run indefinitely whitelists run until complete means it will wait for the code to finish. This is handy if you need information from a variable but it isn't yet defined because the other part of the code was faster.

They can also be combined.

ctx.channel is the channel where the command was used.
message.channel is the channel where the message was sent.
Both return a discord.TextChannel object.

Command raised an exception: NotImplementedError: Derived classes need to implement this.

#

problem with rpl = await client.wait_for("message", timeout = 60.0), if it doesn't get an expected valid command, the prompt will just cancel completely

#

I could do it in a while loop but then the timer will reset any time you put in a new invalid feedback

#

example, I have it rn to where it will send a message then you react to the message with whatever reactions and then you type "done"

#

but if you type anything else, it'll just break itself

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

The method to override to do conversion logic.

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

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

Retrieves a [`User`](https://discordpy.readthedocs.io/en/stable/api.html#discord.User "discord.User") based on their ID. This can only be used by bot accounts. You do not have to share any guilds with the user to get this information, however many operations do require that you do.

Note

This method is an API call. If you have [`Intents.members`](https://discordpy.readthedocs.io/en/stable/api.html#discord.Intents.members "discord.Intents.members") and member cache enabled, consider [`get_user()`](https://discordpy.readthedocs.io/en/stable/api.html#discord.Client.get_user "discord.Client.get_user") instead.

discord.ext.commands.cooldown(rate, per, type=<BucketType.default: 0>)```
A decorator that adds a cooldown to a [`Command`](https://discordpy.readthedocs.io/en/stable/ext/commands/api.html#discord.ext.commands.Command "discord.ext.commands.Command")

A cooldown allows a command to only be used a specific amount of times in a specific time frame. These cooldowns can be based either on a per-guild, per-channel, per-user, per-role or global basis. Denoted by the third argument of `type` which must be of enum type [`BucketType`](https://discordpy.readthedocs.io/en/stable/ext/commands/api.html#discord.ext.commands.BucketType "discord.ext.commands.BucketType").

If a cooldown is triggered, then [`CommandOnCooldown`](https://discordpy.readthedocs.io/en/stable/ext/commands/api.html#discord.ext.commands.CommandOnCooldown "discord.ext.commands.CommandOnCooldown") is triggered in [`on_command_error()`](https://discordpy.readthedocs.io/en/stable/ext/commands/api.html#discord.on_command_error "discord.on_command_error") and the local error handler.

A command can only have a single cooldown.

you can do ids = [member.id for member in Guild.members]

any reason?

pliant gulch Sep 7, 2021, 12:21 AM

no it’d be ids.append(_ids.id)

because _ids is a Member object

probably better to name it something like each_member

don’t name it just member because you’d override dpy

So you would put _ids.id

brisk fiber Sep 7, 2021, 12:52 AM

#

actually i think dpy uses Member, not member, but probably still good to avoid just in case

tight obsidian Sep 7, 2021, 12:54 AM

your local variable member will not override anything in discord.py

#

naming a variable the same way as a class is pretty common if there isn't more context than the type

how can i return uptime for my bot?

#

!time

#

!d time

unkempt canyonBOT Sep 7, 2021, 4:39 AM

#

time

This module provides various time-related functions. For related functionality, see also the datetime and calendar modules.

Although this module is always available, not all functions are available on all platforms. Most of the functions defined in this module call platform C library functions with the same name. It may sometimes be helpful to consult the platform documentation, because the semantics of these functions varies among platforms.

An explanation of some terminology and conventions is in order.

• The epoch is the point where the time starts, and is platform dependent. For Unix, the epoch is January 1, 1970, 00:00:00 (UTC). To find out what the epoch is on a given platform, look at time.gmtime(0).

maiden fable Sep 7, 2021, 4:39 AM

#

slate swan how can i return uptime for my bot?

Make a bot variable and set it to datetime.utcnow() when yr bot starts. That will be the uptime

#

!botvar this is how u make a botvar

unkempt canyonBOT Sep 7, 2021, 4:39 AM

#

Python allows you to set custom attributes to most objects, like your bot! By storing things as attributes of the bot object, you can access them anywhere you access your bot. In the discord.py library, these custom attributes are commonly known as "bot variables" and can be a lifesaver if your bot is divided into many different files. An example on how to use custom attributes on your bot is shown below:

bot = commands.Bot(command_prefix="!")
# Set an attribute on our bot
bot.test = "I am accessible everywhere!"

@bot.command()
async def get(ctx: commands.Context):
    """A command to get the current value of `test`."""
    # Send what the test attribute is currently set to
    await ctx.send(ctx.bot.test)

@bot.command()
async def setval(ctx: commands.Context, *, new_text: str):
    """A command to set a new value of `test`."""
    # Here we change the attribute to what was specified in new_text
    bot.test = new_text

This all applies to cogs as well! You can set attributes to self as you wish.

Be sure not to overwrite attributes discord.py uses, like cogs or users. Name your attributes carefully!

!docstring this is mine pepe_epiklaugh

unkempt canyonBOT Sep 7, 2021, 4:42 AM

#

A docstring is a string - always using triple quotes - that's placed at the top of files, classes and functions. A docstring should contain a clear explanation of what it's describing. You can also include descriptions of the subject's parameter(s) and what it returns, as shown below:

def greet(name: str, age: int) -> str:
    """
    Return a string that greets the given person, using their name and age.

    :param name: The name of the person to greet.
    :param age: The age of the person to greet.

    :return: The greeting.
    """
    return f"Hello {name}, you are {age} years old!"

You can get the docstring by using the inspect.getdoc function, from the built-in inspect module, or by accessing the .__doc__ attribute. inspect.getdoc is often preferred, as it clears indents from the docstring.

For the last example, you can print it by doing this: print(inspect.getdoc(greet)).

For more details about what a docstring is and its usage, check out this guide by Real Python, or the official docstring specification.

@wispy sequoia yeah i had that working in my own version however someone suggested i move to bot commands

Do

#purge 50

use the cmd deco.

#

not a on_message event

boreal ravine Sep 7, 2021, 6:44 AM

#

steel flower <@!826489186327724095> yeah i had that working in my own version however someone...

yeah uh on message commands gonna make spaghetti code

steel flower Sep 7, 2021, 6:44 AM

#

what do you mean @boreal ravine

#

i was using message.content however it was not clearing the text at the end and instead was just using the bot response as the message text

boreal ravine Sep 7, 2021, 6:45 AM

#

I mean that on message commands are messy and if you make normal commands you can set the command permissions like ```py
@commands.has_permissions(administrator=True)

steel flower Sep 7, 2021, 6:46 AM

#

Do you know how i could remove the content of the message on next run

boreal ravine Sep 7, 2021, 6:46 AM

#

the content?

steel flower Sep 7, 2021, 6:46 AM

#

I have the bot always running so restart is not a option

#

yes message.content

reef shell Sep 7, 2021, 6:46 AM

#

can you share the code snippet

steel flower Sep 7, 2021, 6:46 AM

#

The bot always uses it's message as the message.content

#

and yes one second
