it wont debug, thats your job

No, this will stop the code there for you to manually go through it and debug it
U move through it using F8

you may change values of some variables, do stuff like running functions and then press c and hit enter to continue

You would do @commands.command in a cog only, not for your main file
In a main file assuming your bot instance is bot, you would use the @bot.command() decorater
So remove the class SomeCommands... and remove where you do def setup(bot)....
spring flax
so what would remain is the @bot.event part where you are doing on_ready and change the @commands.command() decorator for your ping command to @bot.command(). And remove self from the arguments for the command since it's not a cog @slate swan

This is true. However there’s a limit, you cannot just come into this server or rather this chat with 0 to No python or programming knowledge at all and expect for everything to go well. Especially the people who come in here with that lack of knowledge and expect spoonfeeding. Us just giving them code will not help them at all but more so hurt them by confusing them if they don’t know what anything does. Even the maintainer of discord.py Danny expects people who use his library to have an intermediate understanding of python and object oriented programming. The limit I mentioned earlier correlated with what I just said. However, if you come in here willing to learn and understand what we tell you then you will be fine and more likely to be helped than people who just want a discord bot and want people to write code for them without them even wanting to understand or learn anything.

Probably better to use connection pool or an orm

Try to see if there is an orm for this db

what do you mean? With the line I sent, you can have a connection throughout your bot meaning for any command you can access the database by doing bot.db instead of making a new connection

You're correct, but it's also important how you broach the topic of someone not having enough foundational Python knowledge. Just saying "go learn basic Python" is dismissive and doesn't really communicate very well what the person in question is lacking. You can phrase it in a nicer way and provide the resources they need to get up to the level they need. And if someone is not listening despite this, it's important not to lose your patience and become abusive through frustration. You can always step away or message @novel apex and ask staff to step in if the person is being disruptive.

I see , you can just make a function which connects to the database and return the cursor
velvet tinsel
I love the docs
spring flax
yeah they're great
slate swan
it would be used everywhere ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
cedar stream
how did we come to that?
Like, u use single connection all over the code
So if u ever wanna switch to mongo
U gotta fix whole code
slate swan
why switch to mongo when postgresql exists
spring flax
i have no clue what that's about
cedar stream
why switch to mongo when postgresql exists
I just gave example
slate swan
It's easy to migrate from Sqlite to psql

Also if you have a production app with millions of users and billions of data u wont be using postgres
Ud be using nosql

postgres supports noSQL too , as for production it's highly preferred

ok wait
cedar stream

No its not, nosql can have billions of entries and will work the same as if it had one, sql has certain limit to where it will start working noticeably slower
slate swan
show that command
so we just need to dopy await client.change_presence(activity=None) right??
cedar stream
so we just need to do```py
await client.change_presence(activity=None)``` right?...
Or just dont do anything, it wont have activity by default
sage otter
Did you not just read what he just said.
slate swan
Or just dont do anything, it wont have activity by default
it have the activity but if I want to remove I run the command
sage otter
He said he’s going to initially have one and remove it later with a command.
slate swan

await client.change_presence(activity=None)``` right?...
Yea

Ok the problem is in cogs. I want to get the guild on the initialization step:
Like this:
1. def __init__(self, bot):
2. self.bot = bot
3. self.guild = self.bot.get_guild()
But there is one problem, when i use get method to get the guild (line 3) method returns me None, not guild I want to find.
The only solution was to use:
await self.bot.fetch_guild()
Okey, i right its the only way to correctly get it, if you know how to do it another way, tell me, it will initially change root of the problem.
But my solution is async method,
i cant use await in __init__().
I also tried to use asyncio
I worked with loops, my code looked like this:
1. def __init__(self, bot):
2. self.bot = bot
3. loop =asyncio.get_event_loop()
4. self.guild=loop.run_until_complete(
asyncio.create_task(
self.bot.fetch_guild()
)
)
But i’ve caught an exception with request lib, i find it is in some special methods in library, i think that my tryings to use asyncio don’t correspond with these methods.
I need in a solution. I dont wanna add attributes to cog by using on_ready event
visual island
```@client.event
async def on_message(message):
if message.author == client....
you can do that
orchid inlet
well its only one of the blocks that work
and there is no error. Should I send the whole code?
visual island
no, you can only have 1 same event, just use if-elif
visual island
Ok the problem is in cogs. I want to get the guild on the initialization step:
L...
so the problem is the get_guild returns None, or the exception in request lib?
visual island
But I already use if
just add another if..
orchid inlet
where in the code
visual island
below your first if statement
minor panther
so the problem is the get_guild returns None, or the exception in request lib?
First and the solution to use asyncio makes tge second
My goal is to get tge guild in init
visual island
First and the solution to use asyncio makes tge second
the first issue is probably due to cache is not filled yet
minor panther
Any way
minor panther
the first issue is probably due to cache is not filled yet
Tell me how
orchid inlet
@client.event
if async def on_message(message):
if message.author == client.user:
return
if message.content.startswith('okay lets go'):
await message.channel.send('https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AWM5ZNdWlqw')```you need to wait until the bot is ready, where do you have load_extension?
orchid inlet
like this
valid perch
Ok the problem is in cogs. I want to get the guild on the initialization step:

cogs have an async method that gets called on load called cog_load iirc
minor panther
I load all extentions then i run the bot
visual island
I load all extentions then i run the bot
run it, then load extension
minor panther
Ok
orchid inlet
below your first if statement
sorry, but I dont understand
visual island
if statement1:
...
elif statement2:
...
ahhhh
visual island
I load all extentions then i run the bot
you can add load_extension in on_ready but be sure that you handled if the extension has been loaded
visual island
also what you mean by request lib is aiohttp probably?
boreal ravine
sorry, but I dont understand
didn't someone tell you to learn python yesterday lol

@slate swan please help

start again then
why would it turn off in the first place
slate swan
why would it turn off in the first place
Any error in console?
glass rock
no
slate swan
What did you type when it stopped?
glass rock
while True:
if time.strftime("%H:%M:%S")=="12:30:00":
await channel.send("Time ees 123000")```would this crash my bot?/
slate swan
I don't think so but IDK if we can use infinite loop in on ready
glass rock
it ran for a bit then crashed for no reason
slate swan
idk bro then, try asking professional
visual island
while True is blocking, but with async function inside it, it will be asynchronous. But in your case there, youre putting the async function inside an if statement where it should be in the outest indentation
glass rock
while True is blocking, but with async function inside it, it will be asynchrono...
the whole thing was inside on)_ready btw
glass rock
you can put `await asyncio.sleep(0.001)`
inside while True?
visual island
yes
glass rock
what difference wuld 0.01 make
magic ore
you can put `await asyncio.sleep(0.001)`
No need
magic ore
Because they're already yielding to the event loop in the while loop
visual island
yielding to the event loop?
velvet tinsel
what difference wuld 0.01 make
A very short space of time
visual island
Because they're already yielding to the event loop in the while loop
do you mean because of the on_ready async func?
magic ore
Well first of all they should post the error they get when their bot crashes instead of us guessing what the problem is

2 on messages cannot be in the program
so I need to make strings or tuples right?
slate swan
You can do if else
visual island
I still dont understand

@visual island How to overcome this error??
sullen shoal
spend some time reading that

spend some time reading that
But my variable is not a bot variable
slate swan
!e
```py

Also this is different
sullen shoal
But my variable is not a bot variable
then make it?
slate swan
then make it?
Nah bro I can't do something i know that I don't know 😶
slate swan

```py

print(a) # global variable defined line 1 get to be ...
please help with this
oh understood a bit
slate swan
kekw didnt saw last line
sullen shoal
idek who tf can explain it more well than that
sullen shoal
what is the error
sullen shoal
okay i will try to explain
slate swan
Wait wait its said
Local variable random_status_status referenced before asignment
Why didn't it took the global variable??
sullen shoal
random_status_status=True
@Blank.command(aliases=["rs"])
async def random_status(ctx):
await ctx.message.delete()
if random_status_status==False:
random_status_status=True```
here before defining the command you declared the variable, and now,
```py
if random_status_status==False:
random_status_status=True```
You're trying to make it a local variable, in the second line, and just before that you're also trying to get its valueU gotta put global keyword in front of it if u want to take it as global
sullen shoal
!e
print(v)
v = 1```@sullen shoal :x: Your eval job has completed with return code 1.
001 | Traceback (most recent call last):
002 | File "<string>", line 1, in <module>
003 | NameError: name 'v' is not defined
this is somewhat like that
but because its already defined, it wont show this error
maiden fable
What happened
sullen shoal
you may either declare it a global or go with the good method which is using the bot or cog class
slate swan
ok so let me declare it global
maiden fable
ok so let me declare it global
!botvar 🥺
unkempt canyonBOT
cedar stream
ok so let me declare it global
Bad choice but ok. Just put global keyword in front of it
maiden fable
Breh
cedar stream
Inside the function
sullen shoal
really bad ugly dumb choice
cedar stream
It’ s his decision 🤷🏼♂️
maiden fable
bruh, there's a reason I used the bot var tag
cedar stream
*bruh, there's a reason I used the bot var tag*
They ignored it completely
slate swan
Inside the function
thx its working
maiden fable
;-;
slate swan
*bruh, there's a reason I used the bot var tag*
whats the reason?
sullen shoal
chat looking cool
cedar stream
How is it looking?
sullen shoal
i aint showing, its too good
maiden fable
whats the reason?
So that u don't use globals 🤦
cedar stream
Okay
maiden fable
!globals also
unkempt canyonBOT
slate swan
So that u don't use globals 🤦
👍 I don't use it anywhere else
Also this is not working: py await Blank.change_presence(activity=None)
maiden fable
That should remove the activity, no?

is there a more professional way to run discord bots than just ssh'ing into your vps, git cloning the repo, putting ur token in the config file with vim, and then doing python3 bot.py in a tmux session

this is what I have now
if the mod forgets to add the member to kick or ban, it should default to the mod
wont that be great

LMFAOOO
tawdry perch
I have as well implemented that once
cedar stream
No, it should default to ur bot
tawdry perch
nah
cedar stream
Do you log all mod actions?
cedar stream
pretty much
Then make a dashboard where u can view the logs
slate swan
Guys can we remove the activity status of bot??
