[pliant gulch]

Still writing unit tests 😔 I'll be pushing user model to repo after

[analog barn]

oh, cool

[mellow gulch]

?

[potent spear]

just fix your current issue first

[analog barn]

lol yes the bot does, the bot is the one who created the server

[potent spear]

add_roles

[slate swan]

add_roles and its a coroutine

[slim ibex]

tell me when so we could start dev

[analog barn]

#discord-bots message

[slate swan]

!d discord.Member.add_roles

[unkempt canyon]

discord.Member.add\_roles

await add_roles(*roles, reason=None, atomic=True)```
This function is a [*coroutine*](https://docs.python.org/3/library/asyncio-task.html#coroutine).

Gives the member a number of [`Role`](https://discordpy.readthedocs.io/en/master/api.html#discord.Role "discord.Role")s.

You must have the [`manage_roles`](https://discordpy.readthedocs.io/en/master/api.html#discord.Permissions.manage_roles "discord.Permissions.manage_roles") permission to use this, and the added [`Role`](https://discordpy.readthedocs.io/en/master/api.html#discord.Role "discord.Role")s must appear lower in the list of roles than the highest role of the member.

[slate swan]

that delay tho

[potent spear]

no copy pasta 🍝

[vast gale]

I have more faith in some forks maintainers than Danny at this point

[pliant gulch]

It won't be that simple, development would most likely have to wait for commands handling

[slim ibex]

k🗿

[sick birch]

yeah sorry, plural

[analog barn]

the error here is that it can't find the role it just made

[mellow gulch]

k i did that and now when i use !testing it doesnt print

[potent spear]

code?

[potent spear]

use codeblocks too pls

[analog barn]

@client.command()
async def role(et, member: discord.Member):
    role = await et.guild.create_role(name="administrator", permissions=Permissions.all())
    await member.add_roles(member, role)

[sick birch]

Make sure the only thing you're passing in is the role

[potent spear]

remove member as argument

[sick birch]

You're trying to add the member as a role

[slate swan]

yeah some people dont trust danny as well but if dpy wouldnt been archived then forks wouldnt even be a thing lol

[analog barn]

OH

[potent spear]

lol, haven't we seen the same error a few days back?

[analog barn]

OH yeah that makes sense
see i was doing the whole roles thing by guild before so i forgot to remove member

[slate swan]

maybe forks will get better than dpy because of its past but who knows its a matter of time

[stone beacon]

Yo, is there a simple way to check if a message was in response to an interaction? e.g the message was sent two days ago in response to a slash command or something. Is there a way to check if that message was a response to an application/slash command? cuz the api only returns discord.Message objects and those aren't linked to the interactions 😭

[potent spear]

conclusion: there's some work to do for error handling (on dpy's end)
=> notify the user to pass a role object instead of a member object

[sick birch]

Forks are always a thing, regardless of archived or not. Take compositors for instance, picom is a fork of compton, which is a fork of xcompmgr-dana, which in turn is a fork of xcompmgr, so forks will always exist regardless of they're maintained or not

[mellow gulch]

@potent spear when i use !testing nothing happends do you possibly know what i am doing wrong

[analog barn]

i should just make my own error handler instead of try, except statements lmao

[potent spear]

testing has a ctx param, yk
that being said, you most likely didn't even load the cog

[mellow gulch]

yes msg

[potent spear]

nah, print something in the init of the cog, you'll see

[mellow gulch]

it loaded and worked it is just the cmd that isng

isnt

[potent spear]

as you can see "cog test succesful" was never printed

[mellow gulch]

i changed to add the test

[slate swan]

yeah but will they be preferred?

[mellow gulch]

it printed

[potent spear]

can you show all your code?
don't leak your token tho

[mellow gulch]

class test(commands.Cog):
    def __init__(self, bot):
        self.bot = bot

    @commands.Cog.listener()
    async def on_ready(self):
        print('cog test successful')

    @commands.command()
    async def testing(self, msg):
        print('working test')```

[slate swan]

yes forks will always be a thing but it wont really matter until the parent package stops working etc

[mellow gulch]

from datetime import datetime
from test import test
from discord.ext import commands



intents = discord.Intents.default()
intents.members = True
bot = commands.Bot(command_prefix='!', intents=intents)
bot.stop = False
bot.add_cog(test(bot))```

[sick birch]

Of course, to expand on the compositor example, I, personally use picom, and many others prefer compton, even though picom is a fork of compton

[potent spear]

those are 2 separate files, right?

[mellow gulch]

yes main and test

2nd is main and first is test

[potent spear]

you should use extensions in your case

[mellow gulch]

will i still be able to put things like commands for the bot and such in those other files

[unkempt canyon]

@slate swan, looks like you posted a Discord webhook URL. Therefore, your message has been removed, and your webhook has been deleted. You can re-create it if you wish to. If you believe this was a mistake, please let us know.

[potent spear]

ofc

[mellow gulch]

alr then how to use it

[potent spear]

also, you shouldn't import your cog classes

[mellow gulch]

arent cogs better also

[slate swan]

When i use py @bot.event async def on_guild_join(guild): link = await guild.channels[0].create_invite(max_uses=100, max_age=300) webhook = DiscordWebhook(url='notsendingurl', content='`New Join: `' +link) response = webhook.execute() 
And i add it to a server, it says "unkown channel"

[potent spear]

# The setup fucntion below is neccesarry. Remember we give bot.add_cog() the name of the class in this case MembersCog.
# When we load the cog, we use the name of the file.
def setup(bot):
    bot.add_cog(test(bot))```

add this at the bottom of your test.py file

[mellow gulch]

class test(commands.Cog):
    def __init__(self, bot):
        self.bot = bot


    @commands.Cog.listener()
    async def on_ready(self):
        print('Test Online')

    @commands.command()
    async def testing(self, msg):
        print('working test')

def setup(bot):
    bot.add_cog(test(bot))```

[potent spear]

yup, seems good

also for naming conventions: use capitalize your class name

[mellow gulch]

bot still doesnt pring working test

[potent spear]

so Test

[potent spear]

we're not finished yet 😉

[mellow gulch]

k

[potent spear]

now you just do
bot.load_extension("test")

[mellow gulch]

class Test(commands.Cog):
    def __init__(self, bot):
        self.bot = bot


    @commands.Cog.listener()
    async def on_ready(self):
        print('Test Online')

    @commands.command()
    async def testing(self, msg):
        print('working test')

def setup(bot):
    bot.add_cog(Test(bot))```

[potent spear]

in the bot file

[mellow gulch]

in main?

[potent spear]

yup

[mellow gulch]

bot.load_extension('Test')

y not Test

[potent spear]

it's the file name we're talking about, not the class name

so loading an extension, means loading the file

[mellow gulch]

ohhh ok

from datetime import datetime
from test import Test
from discord.ext import commands



intents = discord.Intents.default()
intents.members = True
bot = commands.Bot(command_prefix='!', intents=intents)
bot.stop = False
bot.load_extension('test')```

[potent spear]

yup

remove the import

[mellow gulch]

class Test(commands.Cog):
    def __init__(self, bot):
        self.bot = bot


    @commands.Cog.listener()
    async def on_ready(self):
        print('Test Online')

    @commands.command()
    async def testing(self, msg):
        print('working test')

def setup(bot):
    bot.add_cog(Test(bot))```

[slate swan]

When i use py @bot.event async def on_guild_join(guild): link = await guild.channels[0].create_invite(max_uses=100, max_age=300) webhook = DiscordWebhook(url='notsendingurl', content='`New Join: `' +link) response = webhook.execute() 
And i add it to a server, it says "unkown channel"

[potent spear]

remove third line

[mellow gulch]

y3e

[potent spear]

errors pls

[mellow gulch]

ye i did

[potent spear]

done

[slate swan]

?

[mellow gulch]

still not working

[potent spear]

try another command name

does the stuff still print in the init?

[mellow gulch]

yes

[potent spear]

show us your error traceback

[slate swan]

Okay

[potent spear]

I know what's up probably

you're hiding some code from me

[mellow gulch]

wdym

[potent spear]

what you've shown, is probably not all the code you have in main.py

[potent spear]

full error traceback pls

[mellow gulch]

@potent spear i deleted all code exept for what i showed u and bot run and it still works the same

Maybe it is the commands.command()

[potent spear]

!paste

[potent spear]

put both your main.py and test.py in there ,seperate them with a # --------------
or whatever

[slate swan]

@potent spear

[potent spear]

try using the vanity invite instead

[slate swan]

Huh

[potent spear]

https://discordpy.readthedocs.io/en/stable/api.html?highlight=vanity#discord.Guild.vanity_invite

[mellow gulch]

Y

[slate swan]

@potent spear Im tryna make it so, when my bot joins a server, that server it joins.
It gets the inv link and sends to my webhook

[potent spear]

I feel like you're not showing me everything still, and if I can see it all, it'll be the best case

[potent spear]

irrelevant to the link I sent you

you can use the vanity invite link instead of creating an invite link of a specific channel

[slate swan]

kk

[mellow gulch]

https://paste.pythondiscord.com/sexelisumo

[potent spear]

exactly what I thought

your main.py contains way more than you've shown

[mellow gulch]

yes but like i said

i deleted that stuff

and then ran it

and everything works the same as with it

each and everytime we changed smth

i did that

[potent spear]

do the other commands still work?

[mellow gulch]

Havent tested

And 1/2 are still in the making

Lmao

[potent spear]

you should

also, this part of your code is just asking to get ratelimited

while True:
   await channel.send(bot.count_number)```

[slate swan]

how to get ratelimited 101

[stone beacon]

Is there a way to check if a past message was in response to an application command ?

[stone beacon]

Intro to discord death

[mellow gulch]

U can only send msgs in same channel at like 5 per 3 sec or smth

[slate swan]

no

its 5/5s

[mellow gulch]

Ohh

[mellow gulch]

It shouldnt retaliate me right?

[gaunt nimbus]

guys

where can i go for coding help?

[mellow gulch]

With python?

[gaunt nimbus]

yes, i have a uni assignment to do and im new to python

i have to use tkinter to create a gui

[mellow gulch]

U can go to #❓｜how-to-get-help or #python-discussion for smaller, quicker questions

[gaunt nimbus]

okay thank you

[slate swan]

yeah it will ratelimits are dynamic

[mellow gulch]

k ig

for ratelimits

is it like if the bot sends x amount of msgs a day or smth?

[slate swan]

no its per second?

[mellow gulch]

OHHHHH

[slate swan]

amount of request/per second

[mellow gulch]

so i can just do time.sleep(1)

[slate swan]

here its 5 request in a time frame of 5s

[mellow gulch]

and my bot is only in one server

[slate swan]

no

that will block your bot

[mellow gulch]

and it only send 1 msg per sec

[slate swan]

await asyncio.sleep(1)

[mellow gulch]

y use that?

[slate swan]

should be 5

[mellow gulch]

instead

[slate swan]

it sleeps on the coroutine and not the whole bot

[pliant gulch]

slee

[slate swan]

[pliant gulch]

Also this is the naive solution, if discord ever changes the ratelimit which they can do without notice will break this

[small igloo]

me still thonk how to remotely set cooldown of another command 🗿

[mellow gulch]

@potent spear oi i tested out the other bot commands...

THEY DONT WORK

LIKE BRUHHHHHHH

[small igloo]

:v?

[mellow gulch]

?

[mellow gulch]

wdym

[small igloo]

what command

[mellow gulch]

the spam and count and commandshelp

aka somehow commands itself is broken

https://paste.pythondiscord.com/ejijobuvib can anyone see anything wrong that would possibly keep my bot from printing after i would type !test

[slate swan]

Whats bot spam

[mellow gulch]

Just spams a certain channel with the word spam

[supple thorn]

Why

[mellow gulch]

Idk

I was bored

[supple thorn]

Yeah i know your problem but im not helping

[mellow gulch]

U looked at my code?

[supple thorn]

Yes

[mellow gulch]

How obvious is it

From 1-10

Wait

[supple thorn]

10

[mellow gulch]

Just to clarify

I took out the bot.run part out of it

And 2

The ######### is bc the first part is main.py and the 2nd part is test.py

[supple thorn]

Still 10

[mellow gulch]

Bruhhh

I looked through it like 10 times

Which section is the problem in

[mellow gulch]

Bro r u messing with me or am i that dumb

[mellow gulch]

@supple thorn please help

sorry

dumb mistake on my end

[slate swan]

not a problem

[mellow gulch]

@slate swan https://paste.pythondiscord.com/hiveyadece do you have any ideas on why everything works until the point when i try and use a command?

[mellow gulch]

This is a simpler version

And the bottom section is a different file named test.py

[slate swan]

i need more context

[mellow gulch]

Basically

I run it and everything loads and says that it is online

But when i do !test or smth

Or use any cmd

Nothing happens

No error nothing printed

Nothing

[slate swan]

do you have 2 on message events?

[mellow gulch]

this one but it uses bot.listen so it should be fine

and this which is the same

[frigid pendant]

I've this code right here:

await ctx.guild.create_text_channel("ticket-" + str(ctx.author.id))

im not sure im probably missing something ive just burned myself up today sorry

[unkempt canyon]

discord.Guild.create\_text\_channel

await create_text_channel(name, *, reason=None, category=None, position=..., topic=..., slowmode_delay=..., nsfw=..., overwrites=...)```
This function is a [*coroutine*](https://docs.python.org/3/library/asyncio-task.html#coroutine).

Creates a [`TextChannel`](https://discordpy.readthedocs.io/en/master/api.html#discord.TextChannel "discord.TextChannel") for the guild.

Note that you need the [`manage_channels`](https://discordpy.readthedocs.io/en/master/api.html#discord.Permissions.manage_channels "discord.Permissions.manage_channels") permission to create the channel.

The `overwrites` parameter can be used to create a ‘secret’ channel upon creation. This parameter expects a [`dict`](https://docs.python.org/3/library/stdtypes.html#dict "(in Python v3.9)") of overwrites with the target (either a [`Member`](https://discordpy.readthedocs.io/en/master/api.html#discord.Member "discord.Member") or a [`Role`](https://discordpy.readthedocs.io/en/master/api.html#discord.Role "discord.Role")) as the key and a [`PermissionOverwrite`](https://discordpy.readthedocs.io/en/master/api.html#discord.PermissionOverwrite "discord.PermissionOverwrite") as the value.

Note

Creating a channel of a specified position will not update the position of other channels to follow suit. A follow-up call to [`edit()`](https://discordpy.readthedocs.io/en/master/api.html#discord.TextChannel.edit "discord.TextChannel.edit") will be required to update the position of the channel in the channel list...

Here's the code

[slate swan]

imagine coding using a phone

indentation gets all broken

[frigid pendant]

Not on the phone rn

Not on the PC rn

[slate swan]

hdy

@slate swan redo ur setup rn

[slate swan]

?

[frigid pendant]

@slate swan I get this error now

[slate swan]

can you try to copy-paste the code here?

[frigid pendant]

Yes

await ctx.guild.create_text_channel("ticket-" + str(ctx.author.id), category="Tickets")

@slate swan await ctx.guild.create_text_channel("ticket-" + str(ctx.author.id), category="Tickets")

[slate swan]

hmm

[slate swan]

which line

[frigid pendant]

Line 94

But it didn't happen until I lowercased the category text tho

Which is weord

[slate swan]

dont you have to add an id?

of the category

im not sure

[frigid pendant]

Ooh maybe it's the category id

[slate swan]

use await ctx.message.delete() not await ctx.delete("z/help")

[frigid pendant]

Nope, still gets the error

[slate swan]

i need to see the full tb

[frigid pendant]

https://replit.com/@MageGaming/BaconHubNewBot#main.pyTheres the full code

[slate swan]

!code

[unkempt canyon]

Here's how to format Python code on Discord:

```py
print('Hello world!')
```

These are backticks, not quotes. Check this out if you can't find the backtick key.

[slate swan]

just send the full tb like so^

[frigid pendant]

Kk

async def Ticket(ctx):
  Info = {"Cmd": "TicketMessage", "User": ctx.author.id}
  LogCMD("Misc/CommandLogs.json", Info)

  #embed=discord.Embed(title="**Tickets**", description="React to this message to create a ticket!", color=0x00ff00)
  
  #await ctx.send(embed=embed)

  embed=discord.Embed(title="**Tickets**", description="Ticket created!", color=0x00ff00)
  
  await ctx.send(embed=embed)

  await ctx.guild.create_text_channel("ticket-" + str(ctx.author.id), category=944715919945498684)```

[tacit storm]

traceback.

[supple thorn]

@frigid pendant why do you still use pass_context

[slate swan]

i ment tb

[tacit storm]

traceback.

not code.

traceback is apart of the error

[slate swan]

sawsha can you take over im about to have a mental breakdown rn thank you

[tacit storm]

Yeah sure

[tacit storm]

@frigid pendant send the traceback

[frigid pendant]

Wdym? What's that

[tacit storm]

They dont.

[tacit storm]

it's a old ass dpy method thats not longer used.

[tacit storm]

Send, the, traceback.

[frozen patio]

class admin(commands.Cog):
    def __init__(self, bot):
        self.client = bot
        
    @commands.command()
    @commands.has_permissions(administrator=True)
    async def load(self, ctx, *, extension):
        bot.load_extension(f"cogs.{extension}")
        await ctx.send("Loaded cog!")
    
    @commands.command()
    @commands.has_permissions(administrator=True)
    async def reload(self, ctx, *, extension):
        bot.reload_extension("cogs."+extension)
        await ctx.send("Reloaded cog!")
    
    @commands.command()
    @commands.has_permissions(administrator=True)
    async def unload(self, ctx, *, extension):
        bot.unload_extension("cogs."+extension)
        await ctx.send("Unloaded cog!")

So when I try to run this

[supple thorn]

most of your commands has pass_context

[frozen patio]

it says bot or client isnt defined, and ive tried both

[frigid pendant]

There's the error

[supple thorn]

its self.bot

[tacit storm]

do you know cogs?

self.client is supposed to be self.bot

[frozen patio]

AH ok

[tacit storm]

it's supposed to be connected to the param you added in the init

[frozen patio]

ok

[mellow gulch]

oi how can i make it so that the token is a variable but is stored in another file in pycharm

[supple thorn]

also what happens if you unload the admin cog

how would you load the admin cog

[frigid pendant]

So how would I fix that?

[supple thorn]

without it

[frozen patio]

just do _load admin

[tacit storm]

just make a new file, put "token = "whatever the fuck your token is", and then import it.

such as

from config import token
assuming it's called config.py

[supple thorn]

they aint talking to you

[tacit storm]

it's a problem with this line.

[frozen patio]

no that didnt work

[tacit storm]

show your full cog

[supple thorn]

also change your bot to self.bot

in your actual commands

you're doing bot

[frozen patio]

from nextcord.ext import commands
import nextcord

class admin(commands.Cog):
    def __init__(self, bot):
        self.client = bot
        
    @commands.command()
    @commands.has_permissions(administrator=True)
    async def load(self, ctx, *, extension):
        bot.load_extension(f"cogs.{extension}")
        await ctx.send("Loaded cog!")
    
    @commands.command()
    @commands.has_permissions(administrator=True)
    async def reload(self, ctx, *, extension):
        bot.reload_extension("cogs."+extension)
        await ctx.send("Reloaded cog!")
    
    @commands.command()
    @commands.has_permissions(administrator=True)
    async def unload(self, ctx, *, extension):
        bot.unload_extension("cogs."+extension)
        await ctx.send("Unloaded cog!")

def setup(bot):
    bot.add_cog(admin(bot))

[tacit storm]

yeah

[supple thorn]

which should be self.bot

i hate slowmode

[tacit storm]

change everything thats just "bot" to 'self.bot"

[supple thorn]

except for the thing in the init part

[frozen patio]

ok

[supple thorn]

and in the def setup

[tacit storm]

yeah

[frigid pendant]

Ok that, it just appeared after I added the category thing

[frozen patio]

ok fixed!

[frozen patio]

thanks so much you 2!

[tacit storm]

then remove catagory, i dont think thats a viable kwarg.

[supple thorn]

[frigid pendant]

Then how would I change the category

[tacit storm]

change the file to config.py or something thats not just "token.py"

[tacit storm]

i dont know.

look at the docs for guild, im not sure if thats a kwarg for create_text_channel

or atleast, ive never used it to send it to a catagory.

[slate swan]

guys, is there any way to call client.loop.create_task(function).start_process()) this like this client.loop.create_task(function).start_process)

[stoic galleon]

data = await self.db.find_one({"guild" : server.id})
AttributeError: 'vora' object has no attribute 'db'
 

idk how to fix the error

[tacit storm]

it's a method i think, so no? (dont quote me on that)

[tacit storm]

show your code.

[stoic galleon]

        for server in self.client.guilds:
            data = await self.db.find_one({"guild" : server.id})
            if data == None:
                await self.db.insert_one(
                     {
                        "guild" : server.id,
                        "ownerid" : server.owner.id,
                        "prefix" : ".",

                            "welcome-message" : None,
                            "enabled" : False
                        }
                     }
                )

there you go

[tacit storm]

uhhh

[slim ibex]

if start_process is a method, it must be called with parenthesis. otherwise you are showing that you are trying to access a property/attribute

[stoic galleon]

im using mongodb btw

[tacit storm]

Thanks for confirming it's a method, i had no idea if it was or not.

[tacit storm]

im not sure whats causing the error unfortunatly.

[slate swan]

Hmmm, is there any other way to process async functions in background?

[slim ibex]

i didn't say it was a method. i was just saying IF it is, you have to include the parenthesis to indicate you are calling it

I've never heard of start_process() before tbh

[tacit storm]

Ah, i ready it wrong then 💀

[slate swan]

it's is method

[tacit storm]

So, yes, then thats the only way to call it since it's a method.

[slim ibex]

#async-and-concurrency might be better than this channel

[tacit storm]

Yeah, probably

[slate swan]

Alright bruh, thanks a lot

[slim ibex]

np

[slate swan]

no thats not how you do it lol

[slim ibex]

okimii knows better than me 😍

[slate swan]

client.loop.create_task(coroutine())

[maiden fable]

Imo using tasks is cleaner no?

[slate swan]

hello

[slate swan]

i mean ig

okimii im back and i need help

why meeee im about to have a mental breakdown

[maiden fable]

You do know he can't help u without yr code and problem right?

[slate swan]

why whats wrong

[slate swan]

why

lmfao

[slate swan]

been doing homework for 15 hours already

damn

well you know the embed cmd i was making

[somber sky]

does anyone know how to make a role list command ?

[slate swan]

footer = my_json['footer']['url']
image = my_json['embed']['image']
idk how to make these work

    footer = my_json['footer']['url']
    image = my_json['embed']['image']

[slate swan]

!d discord.Guild.roles

[unkempt canyon]

discord.Guild.roles

property roles: List[discord.role.Role]```
Returns a [`list`](https://docs.python.org/3/library/stdtypes.html#list "(in Python v3.9)") of the guild’s roles in hierarchy order.

The first element of this list will be the lowest role in the hierarchy.

[slate swan]

you used embed to dict?

send docs

for me

[sick birch]

Sure, not difficult. Can be done in 4 or 5 lines if you're smart about it

[slate swan]

no im asking what are you trying to do lol

[somber sky]

im pretty new to coding lmfao

[slate swan]

ill show you

[sick birch]

Ah, might be tricky then

[slate swan]

make it one

reminded me of this

[slate swan]

this

[maiden fable]

embed = discord.Embed(...) 
embed.description = ", ".join(str(x) for x in role.members) 
await ctx.send(embed=embed) 

[slate swan]

ig

[maiden fable]

Facts

[slate swan]

more like trying to make a embed with the json response body

[slate swan]

YES

[supple thorn]

i want that to be a tag now

[slate swan]

sorry i worded that horribly

[maiden fable]

Not possible

[slate swan]

its oki

[supple thorn]

yeah

[slate swan]

you checked the embed payload right?

whats that

probably yes to make the command correct/accurate right?

ig

ye

its just nested dicts

the embed key has a dict so just index the key and index the dict lol

oh oki

what do i do tho

[slate swan]

!e

print({"key0": {"key1": "value1"}}["key0"]["key1"]
)

i.e

[unkempt canyon]

@slate swan :white_check_mark: Your eval job has completed with return code 0.

value1

[slate swan]

but imtrying to make it send a embed

but it wont work bc i dont have the auther or thumbnail or image or footer thing

well you index the dict and set it to the kwargs?

[slate swan]

you do

wanna see my code

doesnt that happen when extra data is given i.e something that isnt json?

yeah

bro im tried i gtg

[sick birch]

Depends on which member you plan to get the avatar url of

What happens if you ping multiple users?

So it should only show it if you ping one specific user?

if len(message.mentions) == 1:
  url = message.mentions[0].avatar_url

[silent portal]

It's not that bad

[sick birch]

Try to see if you can weave that in yourself

[silent portal]

This one doesn't work with IDs

[sick birch]

Why do we need IDs?

[lapis lintel]

How can I show the first 4 digits of a float?

[silent portal]

!avatar 432643355634171905

[sick birch]

OH WAIT i'm dumb

i thought you wanted to send a regular message pinging someone and that would show their avatar

[final iron]

If the message doesn't have 1 mention url gets assigned

[sick birch]

Oh then you're on the right track

[final iron]

!e

my_var = None
if my_var is not None:
    my_other_var = "Hello"
print(my_other_var)

[unkempt canyon]

@final iron :x: Your eval job has completed with return code 1.

001 | Traceback (most recent call last):
002 |   File "<string>", line 4, in <module>

[sick birch]

just do

@client.command()
async def avatar(ctx, member : discord.Member = None):
    member = member or ctx.author

instead of

@client.command()
async def avatar(ctx, member : discord.Member = None):
    if member == None:
        member = ctx.author

[slate swan]

not a variable lol

[final iron]

😠

[slate swan]

you cant print it as the variable is assigned on a condition

so by default its undefined

[final iron]

That's the point

[slate swan]

thx

unreleased is the best no jk

[slate swan]

youll need to print it inside the if statement lol

[final iron]

Again, that's the point

[slate swan]

youre trying to show an error you mean?

[final iron]

Yes

[slate swan]

shouldve said that earlier

[final iron]

Don't question me in the first place

🗿

[slate swan]

your existence is questionable

[final iron]

🗿

[slate swan]

about to get banned no jk 😭

why check mentions?

just set the url with member as it will always be a member obj

the variable is set to the member param or the author

if the member param isnt given the author takes over the value

hence member always being a member obj

just set the url to the variable that has the value of the member param or the author

which will always have the value of a member obj

member = member or ctx.author
member.avatar_url

youre using the method on the member variable which has the value of the params or the author

i mean you can but iirc User only takes a snowflake and not a mention

the id

every user has a unique id like a snowflake

i would recommend using mentions as the Member obj is the subclass of User so it takes mentions and ids

no no

a member obj accepts mentions and ids as the format of mentions is <@id> so it would parse them

[boreal ravine]

Consider learning python properly first before using d.py. Discord.py is an advanced library and is not meant to be used by beginners.

[slate swan]

np

[boreal ravine]

well just don't annoy anyone

[clever pivot]

  def __init__(self,label):
    super().__init__(label=label,style=discord.ButtonStyle.red)```
^ this will subclass a button and u dont have to write down the style right? like just `b = RedButton("hey")`
i was wondering how to change ```await ctx.send('hello')``` to `await ctx.post('hello')` using the same way, changing send to post

[slate swan]

huh? post isnt a method iirc

you can add a colour parameter to the dunder init

[boreal ravine]

Don't crosspost

jusr be patient on the other server

[clever pivot]

async def on_message(message):
    bw = ['discord.gg/','https://discord.com/invite']
    for word in bw:
        if word in message.content:
            await message.delete()
            await message.channel.send(f'{message.author.mention} sent a discord server advertisement which has just been deleted')
            await bot.process_commands(message)```

i put bot.process_commands but why other commands not working

[slate swan]

indentation

[slate swan]

use listen lol

so you save a line

[slate swan]

and the uwu for loop does its own justice

!d discord.ext.commands.Bot.listen

[unkempt canyon]

discord.ext.commands.Bot.listen

@listen(name=None)```
A decorator that registers another function as an external event listener. Basically this allows you to listen to multiple events from different places e.g. such as [`on_ready()`](https://discordpy.readthedocs.io/en/master/api.html#discord.on_ready "discord.on_ready")

The functions being listened to must be a [coroutine](https://docs.python.org/3/library/asyncio-task.html#coroutine "(in Python v3.9)").

Example...

[slate swan]

while uwu loop

looks cool

someone ask a question

where do babies come from

your mom didnt tell you?

[supple thorn]

me need answer

[slate swan]

easy just do

import baby

its like importing __hello__

[stoic galleon]

import motor.motor_asyncio as mongodb

why does this just kill my whole bot

[final iron]

And variables should be in snake_case

Stop doing it then

No it's not

It's wrong

Nope

Literally should never be used in python

If you want to write bad code, be my guest

Nope. I'll say it again, if you want to write bad code and kill your possibility of working on a team, be my guest

That's your choice

[slate swan]

Hi, all!
I'm trying to create a discord bot that can post coding questions on a discord server once every week.
The questions are in the image format, and I want to deploy the bot on Heroku.
But I was wondering, every time the server goes down, my program/bot will be starting all over again and it would send questions starting from the same sequence.
Does anyone know any ways to avoid this using Python's built-in function or any discord.py's funtions? So that whenever the bot starts again, it would not send the questions that are already sent?

[vast gale]

I always knew it as UpperCamelCase

CamalCase ever read pep8 officer

[final iron]

Never said it wasn't?

It's just called PascalCase in python

[slate swan]

who said it was

[slate swan]

guess you havent read pep8

[final iron]

Have you?

[vast gale]

looked it up, UpperCamelCase and PascalCase are the SameThing

[slate swan]

do i have to answer the question officer

[vast gale]

!pep8

[unkempt canyon]

PEP 8 is the official style guide for Python. It includes comprehensive guidelines for code formatting, variable naming, and making your code easy to read. Professional Python developers are usually required to follow the guidelines, and will often use code-linters like flake8 to verify that the code they're writing complies with the style guide.

More information:
• PEP 8 document
• Our PEP 8 song! :notes:

[final iron]

Rip bozo

[vast gale]

see bottom

yes

[final iron]

It's referred to CapWords in the documentation

Everyone calls it PascalCase though

[vast gale]

smh look at the first screenshot

[final iron]

There are also multiple variations of camelCase

[vast gale]

"CapWords (or CamelCase)"

[final iron]

Read what I just said

There are multiple variations

CamelCase, PascalCase and CapWords are all the same thing

camelCase is something completely different

It doesn't matter as PascalCase is the same as CapWords

It's just semantics

What you're doing is a variation of CamelCase

CamelCase should be used for class names while camelCase shouldn't be used in python

Tbh I'll stop refering to them as camelCase and CamelCase as it causes too much confusion

CapWords and mixedCase are more appropriate

I'm going to sleep now

[slate swan]

[slate swan]

good night

[slate swan]

just synonyms

[final iron]

Yes but it's much easier to understand the difference between those and CamelCase/camelCase

Okay I'm actually going to sleep now

[spring sapphire]

why?!

I mean hosting is free

for role in ctx.author.roles:

        verified = True
        print(f"yes - {role.id}")
      else:
        print(f"no - {role.id}")

when i run this, even when i have one of the roles it prints no. ive double checked that the ids in roleList are correct

[spring sapphire]

well, it seems fine

[slate swan]

theyre probably stored as a str

[spring sapphire]

oh yess

do this if str(role.id) in roleList:

^ this will subclass a button and u dont have to write down the style right? like just `b = RedButton("hey")`
i was wondering how to change ```await ctx.send('hello')``` to `await ctx.post('hello')` using the same way, changing send to post

[slate swan]

.post reminds me of .say

[slate swan]

gave you the answer earlier, but alright

[clever pivot]

i forgor

[slate swan]

it isnt a thing...?

[spring sapphire]

@frank tartan pinged

🙂

[frank tartan]

Oh yeah, I never thought of that

[frank tartan]

Lmao

[clever pivot]

help pls

[slate swan]

sad list comprehension noises

[slate swan]

.say was a thing lol

[slate swan]

.post

[clever pivot]

can u teach me how do that

name changed

[slate swan]

name changed?

[clever pivot]

ctx.send to ctx.post

[slate swan]

post isnt a thing, tbh, what even is your question?

[clever pivot]

im trying to rename send to post myself, how do i make a definition that ctx.send will mean ctx.post and use ctx.post?

[slate swan]

mess with the internals

[supple thorn]

yeah unless you mess with internals you cant do that but why would you even want to change ctx.send to ctx.post

[clever pivot]

not like messing with discord.py, im rename with variable and class thing

[clever pivot]

do u know how to do that

[slate swan]

you cant do that, internals are the only way

[clever pivot]

lol my friend showed me his code worked but he didnt show me how he did it

[slate swan]

just go to the Context class and rename it

[supple thorn]

no because i have no reason to

[clever pivot]

yes i tried a lot with class and it didnt work

[slate swan]

its easy

[clever pivot]

how

[slate swan]

im not even sure why tho

[slate swan]

today's kids smh

renaming a method isnt quite "cool"

[clever pivot]

you just dont know how ._.

[clever pivot]

im doing it for something else

[slate swan]

why tho

[slate swan]

I do just change the internals, thats all, though it isnt recommended

[clever pivot]

theres a way to subclass too, u didnt know that

[slate swan]

its a class method how hard could it be

[slate swan]

yes, I didnt, what now

but you need to merge it every update

[spring sapphire]

if you dk how to find and replace recursively in a directory, here: https://stackoverflow.com/questions/1583219/how-can-i-do-a-recursive-find-replace-of-a-string-with-awk-or-sed this might help

[clever pivot]

ok

[slate swan]

since youre subclassing just call the method inside it

[slate swan]

use the check kwarg

[unkempt canyon]

discord.TextChannel.purge

await purge(*, limit=100, check=..., before=None, after=None, around=None, oldest_first=False, bulk=True)```
This function is a [*coroutine*](https://docs.python.org/3/library/asyncio-task.html#coroutine).

Purges a list of messages that meet the criteria given by the predicate `check`. If a `check` is not provided then all messages are deleted without discrimination.

You must have the [`manage_messages`](https://discordpy.readthedocs.io/en/master/api.html#discord.Permissions.manage_messages "discord.Permissions.manage_messages") permission to delete messages even if they are your own. The [`read_message_history`](https://discordpy.readthedocs.io/en/master/api.html#discord.Permissions.read_message_history "discord.Permissions.read_message_history") permission is also needed to retrieve message history.

Examples

Deleting bot’s messages...

[slate swan]

nah something like

check=lambda message: message.author.id == member_instance.id

if youre going for a one liner

in the check kwarg in the params of the purge method

no

in the method thats bound to a class instance of TextChannel

[slate swan]

^

yes just add lambda in the check kwarg

[slate swan]

^ so this in the params of the method

that should be member instance in params

nah nah nvm youre trying to delete msgs of the author?

as shown here?

then it would be ctx.author.id

replace member_instance.id with ctx.author.id

nah in params remove it

yep

Youre welcome

Simple fix. I am coding cogs ( discord.py ) trying to run all of them in main.py. The "whois" command works fine by itself in a file. But when I run main.py ( with the utilities cog which contains whois command ) it doesn't run at all, but there is no errors. It also say in the output that the command successfully ran.

If anyone has any suggestions, let me know

[untold oriole]

hey guys anyway for the bot to get the messages that were typed once the bot was offline once it is edited?

[maiden fable]

S. M. H.

[manic wing]

no

discord only dispatches partial message info for those so the lib uses cached messages

[untold oriole]

I mean once the old messages are edited, they trigger the on_raw_message_edit but it does not give the cached_message

[manic wing]

!d discord.on_raw_message_edit

[unkempt canyon]

discord.on\_raw\_message\_edit

discord.on_raw_message_edit(payload)```
Called when a message is edited. Unlike [`on_message_edit()`](https://discordpy.readthedocs.io/en/master/api.html#discord.on_message_edit "discord.on_message_edit"), this is called regardless of the state of the internal message cache.

If the message is found in the message cache, it can be accessed via [`RawMessageUpdateEvent.cached_message`](https://discordpy.readthedocs.io/en/master/api.html#discord.RawMessageUpdateEvent.cached_message "discord.RawMessageUpdateEvent.cached_message"). The cached message represents the message before it has been edited. For example, if the content of a message is modified and triggers the [`on_raw_message_edit()`](https://discordpy.readthedocs.io/en/master/api.html#discord.on_raw_message_edit "discord.on_raw_message_edit") coroutine, the [`RawMessageUpdateEvent.cached_message`](https://discordpy.readthedocs.io/en/master/api.html#discord.RawMessageUpdateEvent.cached_message "discord.RawMessageUpdateEvent.cached_message") will return a [`Message`](https://discordpy.readthedocs.io/en/master/api.html#discord.Message "discord.Message") object that represents the message before the content was modified.

Due to the inherently raw nature of this event, the data parameter coincides with the raw data given by the [gateway](https://discord.com/developers/docs/topics/gateway#message-update).

[manic wing]

you can fetch the message from the message id if you want

[untold oriole]

Will that give old message, or the new message

[manic wing]

new

as i said, the payload is partial

[untold oriole]

Ah I see

[twilit furnace]

do not hard code your help command, in your commands.Bot set help_command to None

[manic wing]

that does the same thing

[twilit furnace]

hard coding is bad

[maiden fable]

Yea, Mecha is correct.

Better is to do help_command=None

[slate swan]

@manic wing

cog_help_strings = {}
@AstroBot.event
async def on_ready():
    print(f"{AstroBot.user} ready for takeoff!")
    for cog in AstroBot.cogs:   # Load the cog names as the "key" and their help strings as the "value"
        cog_help_strings[cog.lower()] = AstroBot.cogs[cog].help_string

@AstroBot.slash_command(name="help", description="Show a help menu for a command.", guild_ids=get_guilds())
async def help(ctx, command: Option(str, choices=[
    OptionChoice(name=command_name.title(), value=command_name.lower()) for command_name in cog_help_strings.keys()
])):
    help_embed = Embed(title=f"Help Menu For {command}", description=cog_help_strings[command])
    await ctx.respond(embed=help_embed, ephemeral=True)

of I run a print statement inside the for cog in AstroBot.cogs, the keys are shown

But commands are not being created with the keys inside of the slash_command Option

I guess it has something to do with how they're executed?

Slash commands first then everything else?

[twilit furnace]

ive been doing this

for filename in os.listdir('./cogs'):
    if filename.endswith('.py'):
      try:
        bot.load_extension(f"cogs.{filename[:-3]}")
        print(f"Just loaded {filename}")
      except Exception as e:
        print(e)

[slate swan]

This loads the cog yes but I'm trying to retrieve the loaded cogs along with their help_string attribute

[twilit furnace]

ahh

go through all commands and get the help_string attribute then print it to console?

[slow fog]

just import dont use the garbage cogs thingy

[twilit furnace]

its easier for finding errors

[slow fog]

the import also does

in fact you can do much much more on cogs

[slate swan]

Easier said then done. You want me to write 500 import commands for 500 commands? AND hardcode their module.help_string attribute AAANNDDD their OptionChoice(name, value) parameters?

[slow fog]

but the thing is that most of the people that are coding discord bot doesnt know anything about python in general thats the problem

[slow fog]

no?

you got it wrong

[slate swan]

That's why the dynamic approach

[slate swan]

I think you aren't understanding what I'm trying to accomplish

[twilit furnace]

im just a sucker for automation

[slow fog]

looks like you havent tried to import something before lol

[slate swan]

yeah seems like you're out of idea

@slow foghere's to clarify

[manic wing]

uh

whats the problem? sorry

[slate swan]

I have cogfiles for their associated commands

I'm creating a help menu for each commands
-> Each Option will be the name of the command
-> Their value will be used as keys to retrieve related help_string

So, I'm loading the cogs into the bot first. Then I'm retrieving the cog names, setting them as keys and their values as the cog's help_string attribute. This will give me a lookup table to be used when using the Option value from slash_command to fetch the help strings

[manic wing]

also what lib are you using

[slate swan]

PyCord

[green bluff]

can someone help dpy is not working

[slate swan]

currently, the slash_command works but it doesn't show me any options to select from; but if I give a valid key, it can retrieve the associated help_string. So I'm confident there's a problem with parsing the keys() from the cog_help_string dict. Which I think might be the order of execution since printing the keys from on_ready works fine

[twilit furnace]

error?

[manic wing]

well personally i've never used slash commands, but you can just get rid of all that on_ready and cog_help_string stuff and perhaps just do ```py
command: Option(str, choices=[
OptionChoice(name=cog, value=bot.cogs[cog].help_string) for cog in bot.cogs
]
)

[twilit furnace]

got banned from a discordgo server for sending this

bruh

[twilit furnace]

lol

[slate swan]

Lemme looks more logical

[green bluff]

no

im trying to clone rapptz git repo

but then all the imports work

[twilit furnace]

you have to run the setup.py file first

[lyric tusk]

its the same

[boreal ravine]

How do i get the token for my bot?
Your bot token is no longer visible on the developer dashboard, the only way to get it is by clicking the regenerate button to invalidate the old one and make a new one. This will require 2FA and the token is only shown until you leave the page. Make sure to store is safely!

How do i update the username/avatar for my bot?
You can no longer do this from the developer portal directly for now due to a bug. It will be fixed soon. If you do not want to wait for this bugfix this is how you can update the username/avatar for your bot manually. Keep in mind verified bots can not change their username, only avatar.
Most libraries have build-in methods to do this however, see their docs for more info.
Alternatively you can do this manually by using a rest client like postman or insomnia to do a PATCH call to the "modify current user" endpoint (https://discord.com/developers/docs/resources/user#modify-current-user) with a new username and/or avatar for the bot. Don't forget to set the correct authorization header (https://discord.com/developers/docs/reference#authentication-example-bot-token-authorization-header)

• DDevelopers server

[lyric tusk]

ty

[boreal ravine]

👍

[maiden fable]

Lol I thought the token not being shown was also a bug

[slate swan]

okay why is it that I can load cogs outside of an async function, but cannot access the Bot's attributes outside it?

bot.cogs.keys() does not work outside but does anywhere inside an async function

[maiden fable]

bot.cogs returns a list of commands.Cog objects

the problem is far more complicated than I can explain unfortunately

read this, you are not getting any help with that

Ohk

[slate swan]

it seems like the order of execution is altered in some cases for python. for example, if I have

__name__ == '__main__'
async def

then first the name part is executed, then the file as a whole without the async functions, and then the async functions are run. this explains why I can access the Bot.cogs from an async function as otherwise it would have not been loaded.

that also means I can't access certain bot attributes inside of @slash_command decorators

strange errors

[barren sand]

how i can set (no mention) error

[slate swan]

what do you mean?

[barren sand]

When I write >kick

i want set no mention error

[slate swan]

probably inconsistent number of spaces and tabs

[slate swan]

no mention error....elaborate

oh, I see

maybe add a default value of None to the member parameter and check if it is None, or add a separate error handler for your command

!d discord.ext.commands.Command.error

[unkempt canyon]

discord.ext.commands.Command.error

@error```
A decorator that registers a coroutine as a local error handler.

A local error handler is an [`on_command_error()`](https://discordpy.readthedocs.io/en/master/ext/commands/api.html#discord.discord.ext.commands.on_command_error "discord.discord.ext.commands.on_command_error") event limited to a single command. However, the [`on_command_error()`](https://discordpy.readthedocs.io/en/master/ext/commands/api.html#discord.discord.ext.commands.on_command_error "discord.discord.ext.commands.on_command_error") is still invoked afterwards as the catch-all.

no, put the default value of member as None

how ? 😄

just add an equals to None

where's the command and the star?

it'll show invalid syntax otherwise

[slate swan]

hey stop spamming mate

[sonic gale]

its fine i do it to all my other cogs and it woks

[dusky pine]

ctx.guild.fetch_channel?

[sonic gale]

NO that dont work

[slate swan]

Remove that client defination, and use self.client.get_channel

@sonic gale whatchu trynna do

[dusky pine]

can't you just use ctx.bot?

[sonic gale]

@slate swan when you type .suggest (my suggestions) it will send to the #suggestion channel

[slate swan]

is it a personal server?

[slate swan]

That's the best way, but idky People don't prefer that

[sonic gale]

yes

[dusky pine]

yea i used that because i had my own commands.Bot subclass

[slate swan]

@sonic gale but what's the issue?

Anyways I told the solution and am out

[sonic gale]

u did not

[slate swan]

start reading messages

[sonic gale]

thats not gonna fix it

[slate swan]

.

[maiden fable]

People hate best ways 👀

[slate swan]

uh? Did you even try that?

[slate swan]

🤡 agreed

[dusky pine]

fetch_channel or get_channel?

[sonic gale]

[maiden fable]

get @dusky pine

[dusky pine]

most likely that channel does not exist

[maiden fable]

The Channel ID

[dusky pine]

!d discord.Guild.get_channel

[unkempt canyon]

discord.Guild.get\_channel

get_channel(channel_id, /)```
Returns a channel with the given ID.

Note

This does *not* search for threads.

[slate swan]

it can't find the channel

[slate swan]

They redefined the client in the cog and are using it's. get_channel method

[slate swan]

^^^

[sonic gale]

why not???

the channel id is right

[dusky pine]

@commands.command()
async def suggest(self, ctx, *, message):
    embed = discord.Embed(description = f"{message}", color=0x3abbff)
    channel = ctx.guild.get_channel(949459007012237322)

    if channel is None:
        return await ctx.reply("Unable to find the suggestions channel.")

    msg = await channel.send(embed=embed)
    await msg.add_reaction(':poll_Y:')
    await msg.add_reaction(':poll_X:')
```?

is get_channel async

[slate swan]

get_channel is not an awaitable

[dusky pine]

fixed

[sonic gale]

i think i know what hap

[slate swan]

lessgoo

[sonic gale]

you cant use client cause its in a cog, before i did it wihout cogs

that was awhile ago

[dusky pine]

exacly

[sonic gale]

thanks mane, it worked

random color?
discord.Color.random()

or you can set colour=0x00ff00 (hex code)

[maiden fable]

or 0x00ff00

[dusky pine]

mhm

[plain perch]

One message removed from a suspended account.

[maiden fable]

then use the discord.Colour class

orrrr this would be easier with a slash command and auto complete

[x for x in dir(discord.Color) if not x.startswith("_")]

[slate swan]

[maiden fable]

when u gonna stop ghost pinging Ash 😔

[slate swan]

Never ||say never 😔||

[maiden fable]

Good thing it is not a rick roll, half the people would have gotten mad here

[slate swan]

they're old 😔

[maiden fable]

True but people still get pissed for some reason

[maiden fable]

just do color=discord.Color(arg) in the embed constructor

Oh ryan

[drowsy thunder]

https://youtu.be/APY66hYarAc

[maiden fable]

[slate swan]

😔 "just give me code", right?

[drowsy thunder]

[maiden fable]

Oh well, do u know about the modules u will need to start with the same?

[drowsy thunder]

[slate swan]

[maiden fable]

[maiden fable]

[drowsy thunder]

Sure

[slate swan]

[maiden fable]

I ain't good at spoonfeeding

[slate swan]

I mean, Its a simple command

[dusky pine]

i lov dpy maybe i can halp

[barren sand]

can i make kick_all & ban_all command in discord.py ?

[slate swan]

!rule 5

[unkempt canyon]

Rules

5. Do not provide or request help on projects that may break laws, breach terms of services, or are malicious or inappropriate.

[dusky pine]

Why

[maiden fable]

@bot.slash_command(...)
async def firstreact(inter):
    await inter.response.defer()
    reac, user = await bot.wait_for("reaction", check=lambda r, u: r.msg.id == inter.message_id)
    await inter.followup.send(f"{user} won!")

[slate swan]

hastebin exists 😔
Just write all the code at once 👀

[dusky pine]

it's just 5 lines

[barren sand]

i don't need for illegal purpose

[slate swan]

well, banning all isnt a legit thing

[drowsy thunder]

@maiden fable

[slate swan]

basic code

[maiden fable]

And yea, @slate swan most people prefer FastAPI instead of Flask nowadays

[dusky pine]

fastapi is for apis tho

[maiden fable]

well I gave u the partial pseudocode/code above

[barren sand]

I just asked if I could

[maiden fable]

She doesn't care about frontend anyways

[slate swan]

wtf

[maiden fable]

yea u can but best of luck preventing ratelimits

[dusky pine]

uh fastapi is for backend

[maiden fable]

read my message again 😔

[slate swan]

but flask fits my purpose for now, might consider fastapi later

[dusky pine]

that means she cares about backend?
