[narrow grail]

It‘s not only working when making a message Command, it also doesn‘t work when I make a command where the bot should join my voice channel

[brittle flume]

Is there any good cheap bot hosting site?

[left crater]

you can try aws or heroku but they are not that good

i think google also does hosting

[brittle flume]

Like anything <= 1$

[narrow grail]

There are a some but you need to give some credit card information to

[supple thorn]

I know one that does vps for 0.50$

[brittle flume]

Tell me about it

[viscid relic]

What is that?

Code:
@client.command()
async def factorial(ctx, number):
n = int(number)
if n > 20:
await ctx.send("Error")
if n <= 1:
await ctx.send(n)
else:
n = n*factorial(n-1)
await ctx.send(n)

[maiden fable]

Ah

Recursion

You are calling the factorial function

Your command name

[heavy folio]

the function in which you are doing stuff in

[gaunt ice]

why change it to int if u could just get the arg like number:int

[heavy folio]

def funcname():
    funcname()

[heavy folio]

this too just typehint to an int and let dpy convert

[gaunt ice]

ye

[winged bone]

how do I correctly annotate a User | Member? Do I always have to write the union?

[rocky trench]

What?

I don't really get what you're asking

[vocal plover]

yes, you need to do Union[Member, User]

[winged bone]

is there even a difference?

[vocal plover]

iirc if you put User first then it will always be coerced into a user

since members are valid users

but users may not be valid members

[winged bone]

ok

[viscid relic]

How to fix this?

Code :
@client.command()
async def factorial(ctx, number):
if number >= 20:
if number <= 1:
await ctx.send(number)
else:
number = number*factorial(number-1)
await ctx.send(number)
else:
await ctx.send("Error")

[vocal plover]

you need to typehint number as an int else discord.py will treat it as a string

so number: int

also that function won't work properly when you get further in since you're calling it recursively but you call it with the wrong parameters and it doesnt return a value, you may want to take a look at

!d math.factorial

[unkempt canyon]

math.factorial

math.factorial(x)```
Return *x* factorial as an integer. Raises [`ValueError`](https://docs.python.org/3/library/exceptions.html#ValueError "ValueError") if *x* is not integral or is negative.

Deprecated since version 3.9: Accepting floats with integral values (like `5.0`) is deprecated.

[viscid relic]

Ok

[lilac plover]

hi

[slate swan]

async def Help(ctx):
  await ctx.send(
    "Click below to get help embed",
    components = [
       Button(label = "Yes", custom_id = "button5", style=ButtonStyle.green),
       Button(label = "No", custom_id = "buttons123", style=ButtonStyle.red)
    ],
  )

  interaction = await client.wait_for("button_click", check = lambda i: i.custom_id == "button5", timeout=120)
  await interaction.send(f"{helpEmbed}")
  
  interaction = await client.wait_for("button_click", check = lambda i: i.custom_id == "button123", timeout=120)
  await interaction.send("Not sending help embed!")```

this is my code k?
thebot  runs without errors
the command works
but upon clicking the buttons
interaction failed
no errors in console

[lilac plover]

like to check if theres any resources for discord sales bot?

[vocal plover]

Which library are you using & where did you get the event name "button_click" from?

[slate swan]

from discord_components import DiscordComponents, ComponentsBot, Button, ButtonStyle

[vocal plover]

ah I'm not familiar with discord_components sorry

[slate swan]

um

k

[slate swan]

anything else which can make this button interaction work?

[vocal plover]

uh v2 of most libs (discord.py, nextcord, disnake, etc.) support a construct called 'Views' which allows you to neasily manage components, I can link the documentation for that if you want

[maiden fable]

👀

[slate swan]

yea sure

[lyric tusk]

how do u use slash commands in a cogs

[vocal plover]

sorry I went to get food; https://discordpy.readthedocs.io/en/master/interactions/api.html#discord.ui.View

[vocal plover]

which library you using?

[lyric tusk]

nextcord

[vocal plover]

I actually just wrote something about that; https://tutorial-alpha.vcokltfre.dev/tutorial/intermediate/nextcord/11-cogs/

[honest vessel]

are there like any examples with images so u can see what all those are looking like?

[vocal plover]

the code or the actual things in discord?

[honest vessel]

yeah like demo how it looks in discord

so i know what i am looking for

[vocal plover]

There's a bunch of examples on https://discord.com/developers/docs/interactions/message-components, you can ignore the code blocks since they're for the raw api, but the images are helpful

[honest vessel]

ah thanks

ok so if am looking for a pagening with disnake i want?

[lyric tusk]

[flat solstice]

so I'm syncing my d.py 2.0 command tree during on_ready, is it possible to do that during the setup_hook or does it require the guilds cache to be filled in (I'm thinking it does)

[maiden fable]

I don't think it needs the cache since it sends the data to the Discord API

[flat solstice]

okay

[slate swan]

Any imports needed?

[flat solstice]

okay so either something is going really wrong or the tree doesn't get given the app ID until on_ready is calledpy Traceback (most recent call last): return future.result() File "C:\Users\Teagan\Documents\Coding\Zupie\bot\utils\services.py", line 162, in main await self.start(token) File "C:\Users\Teagan\Documents\Coding\Zupie\env\lib\site-packages\discord\client.py", line 655, in start await self.login(token) File "C:\Users\Teagan\Documents\Coding\Zupie\env\lib\site-packages\discord\client.py", line 521, in login await self.setup_hook() File "C:\Users\Teagan\Documents\Coding\Zupie\bot\utils\services.py", line 138, in setup_hook await self.tree.sync(guild=Object(id=default_guild))# File "C:\Users\Teagan\Documents\Coding\Zupie\env\lib\site-packages\discord\app_commands\tree.py", line 742, in sync raise ClientException('Client does not have an application ID set') discord.errors.ClientException: Client does not have an application ID set Exception ignored in: <function _ProactorBasePipeTransport.__del__ at 0x00000192B116E680> Traceback (most recent call last): File "C:\Program Files\WindowsApps\PythonSoftwareFoundation.Python.3.10_3.10.752.0_x64__qbz5n2kfra8p0\lib\asyncio\proactor_events.py", line 116, in __del__ self.close() File "C:\Program Files\WindowsApps\PythonSoftwareFoundation.Python.3.10_3.10.752.0_x64__qbz5n2kfra8p0\lib\asyncio\proactor_events.py", line 108, in close self._loop.call_soon(self._call_connection_lost, None) File "C:\Program Files\WindowsApps\PythonSoftwareFoundation.Python.3.10_3.10.752.0_x64__qbz5n2kfra8p0\lib\asyncio\base_events.py", line 745, in call_soon self._check_closed() File "C:\Program Files\WindowsApps\PythonSoftwareFoundation.Python.3.10_3.10.752.0_x64__qbz5n2kfra8p0\lib\asyncio\base_events.py", line 510, in _check_closed raise RuntimeError('Event loop is closed') RuntimeError: Event loop is closed

[maiden fable]

Idk, try using a task

[spring flax]

if I have a ```py

def is_modmail_channel():
    async def predicate(self, ctx):
        if not (await self.check_if_open_with_channel(ctx.channel.id)):
            await ctx.send(disnake.Embed(description="This channel is not a ModMail channel", color=disnake.Color.red()))
            return False
        else:
            return True
    return commands.check(predicate)

how do I use this as a deco for a command?

If I just do

@commands.command()
@is_modmail_channel()

It'll say it requires ctx
but if I put ctx, it says ctx, isn't defined

[placid skiff]

what is that self?

[spring flax]

i'm not supposed to put it under my cog class?

oh well that makes sense

[placid skiff]

the correct usage, for example, is this one:

def is_call_manager()->Callable[[T], T]:
    def predicate(ctx: AnyContext)->bool:
        result = db.field("SELECT WhiteListRoleID FROM Guild WHERE GuildID IS?", ctx.guild.id)
        if result is not None and any(role.id == result for role in ctx.author.roles):
            return True
        else:
            raise WhiteListFailure(message="This user hasn't the permission to manage calls")
    return check(predicate)

with AnyContext equals to typing.Any(disnake.ext.commands.Context, dinsake.ApplicationCommandInteraction) if you use slash commands too

[spring flax]

huh

how did that come

[placid skiff]

it is not usggested to create a check inside a cog, make a check folder where you put your check script, then import the function of that script and you can just use the decorator

[spring flax]

okay

what if I put the check inside the same cog file but not in the cog class?

[placid skiff]

my path for example is like this:

-My_bot
  -Cogs
    -my_cogs.py
  -checks
    -my_checks.py

then in my cogs script i import checks.my_checks.function_name and use @function_name before the command

[placid skiff]

it works, then you'll just call the function without importing it from an external file

take all checks inside a folder is more readable of course

[spring flax]

yeah it's because part of my check uses a function that's in my cog file

[placid skiff]

if they are reliable to checks then is useless to declare them inside the cog file, otherwise you can create another external folder in your bot folder where you can create your script and then import them, like:

-My_bot
  -Cogs
    -my_cogs.py
  -checks
    -my_checks.py
  -utils_script
    -scripts.py

[flat solstice]

is there a way to view the cache? like to print it / export it to a redis session

[placid skiff]

in that utils folder you can declare function that will come always useful

[spring flax]

i do have something like that

[spring flax]

but here check_if_open_with_channel is a function in my cog file

[placid skiff]

!d discord.ext.commands.Bot.cached_messages this for example retrieves the message cached

[unkempt canyon]

discord.ext.commands.Bot.cached\_messages

property cached_messages```
Read-only list of messages the connected client has cached.

New in version 1.1.

[placid skiff]

i dunno if there is a member cache but i don't think so

[placid skiff]

i dunno if you can import a cog without having problems. You can try but most probably it will raise a circular import exception

[flat solstice]

i think there is, i just don't know if it's exposed

[placid skiff]

i have the docs opened and i don't find nothing related to members

[placid skiff]

most probably is because all the users that the bot can be already taken using Discord.ext.commands.Bot.users

where users is the list of user that the bot can see

and the same could be for the guilds

for channels instead they are stored in guild object, discord.Guild.text_channels and discord.Guild.voice_channels

[spring flax]

wait in my cog file, not in the cog class, how do I access bot?

[placid skiff]

cogs are declared like this:

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

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

the setup function is called by the instance of your bot (i don't know how, if you are curious you can check the source code) and the setup function create an instance of your cog with passing the bot instance in it

so you can access bot method by doing self.bot.method() in your cog

[spring flax]

no not in the cog class

[flat solstice]

think you'd have to import the bot var from it's file, at least that's what I ended up doing

[placid skiff]

it will raise a circular import if you import your bot inside a cog file

[spring flax]

in a cog file:

import disnake
from disnake.ext import commands

x = bot.something
 
class Cog(commands.Cog)
  #code

[flat solstice]

it surprisingly doesn't

[spring flax]

now here it will raise bot is not defined

[placid skiff]

already tried it and it does haha

[spring flax]

how do I access it

[flat solstice]

are you importing the full 'main' file, or just the bot var from your 'main' file, bc I'm doing thispy from main import bot in one of my cogs and it works fine

[placid skiff]

my bot is subclassed lol
var is rude

[flat solstice]

yeah so is mine, but I'm importing the actual bot var not the class (that would cause some issues I guess)

[cloud dawn]

Defining bot vars is then just self.var

You then import the class

[spring flax]

so should I import the bot var?

[flat solstice]

yeah if you need to access bot attributes or property's outside of the cog class (or in deco like I am)

[spring flax]

okay will try

[placid skiff]

uhm all those question racked my brains btw hahaha

[flat solstice]

yeah i'm importing my bot var here https://github.com/SnowyJaguar1034/Zupie/blob/master/bot/cogs/owners.py#L11 and then making use of it in a deco on line 41

[spring flax]

why does this still raise TypeError: ModMail.is_modmail_channel.<locals>.predicate() missing 1 required positional argument: 'ctx'

[placid skiff]

code

[flat solstice]

anyone know which part of @unkempt canyon's source handles displaying GitHub code (you know when you send a link to a GitHub repo and the bot replies with a msg showing that file or a line of the file)

[spring flax]

#imports
async def check_if_open_with_channel(channel_id):
    async with bot.db.execute("SELECT modmail_channel from modmail_channels WHERE modmail_channel = ?", (channel_id,)) as cursor:
        data = await cursor.fetchone()
        if not data:
            return False
        return True


def is_modmail_channel():
    async def predicate(ctx):
        if not (await check_if_open_with_channel(ctx.channel.id)):
            await ctx.send(disnake.Embed(description="This channel is not a ModMail channel", color=disnake.Color.red()))
            return False
        else:
            return True
    return commands.check(predicate)
    
#cog class ```
I'm using it as a deco in one of my cog commands like just `@is_modmail_channel()`

[spring flax]

https://github.com/python-discord/bot/blob/main/bot/exts/info/code_snippets.py

[placid skiff]

is passed

[spring flax]

what??

[flat solstice]

thanks

[placid skiff]

whait why async def predicate?

[spring flax]

wdym why?

because i'm using await

but I don't need to

How to make Discord commands?

[placid skiff]

As i thought there is no need to declare predicate as async function

[slate swan]

how can i get a specific text of a string?

for example i want to get every user id and their xp

**#1 I usrid XP: `185`**
#2 I usrid XP: `180`
#3 I usrid XP: `91`
#4 I usrid XP: `83`

this is a part of the check function in disnake.py source code

maybe because you're wrong?

SUGGEST ME

[placid skiff]

Bro he has the ctx in his check, that is not the issue

[maiden fable]

Wait, don't u need self in the something function?

[placid skiff]

            return True
    return commands.check(predicate)

This is his check

[spring flax]

not in a cog class

[placid skiff]

as you see, predicate has ctx, the problems is something else

[maiden fable]

Ah

[maiden fable]

Yea, the check is correct

[placid skiff]

first of all, the predicate function doesn't need to be declared as an async function

[maiden fable]

It can be

[placid skiff]

your fork will do it for you

[maiden fable]

!d discord.ext.commands.check

[spring flax]

but im using await

[unkempt canyon]

discord.ext.commands.check

@discord.ext.commands.check(predicate)```
A decorator that adds a check to the [`Command`](https://discordpy.readthedocs.io/en/master/ext/commands/api.html#discord.ext.commands.Command "discord.ext.commands.Command") or its subclasses. These checks could be accessed via [`Command.checks`](https://discordpy.readthedocs.io/en/master/ext/commands/api.html#discord.ext.commands.Command.checks "discord.ext.commands.Command.checks").

These checks should be predicates that take in a single parameter taking a [`Context`](https://discordpy.readthedocs.io/en/master/ext/commands/api.html#discord.ext.commands.Context "discord.ext.commands.Context"). If the check returns a `False`-like value then during invocation a [`CheckFailure`](https://discordpy.readthedocs.io/en/master/ext/commands/api.html#discord.ext.commands.CheckFailure "discord.ext.commands.CheckFailure") exception is raised and sent to 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") event.

If an exception should be thrown in the predicate then it should be a subclass of [`CommandError`](https://discordpy.readthedocs.io/en/master/ext/commands/api.html#discord.ext.commands.CommandError "discord.ext.commands.CommandError"). Any exception not subclassed from it will be propagated while those subclassed will be sent to [`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").

Well nevermind already tired to explain, the problem could be the decorator so @spring flax send the command

[placid skiff]

Bro you can't relate on the error code, it helps but it is not said that the issue is what you think, because if you read his decorator, ctx is defined inside the function

[maiden fable]

@spring flax can you share yr check code?

[final iron]

We don't talk about the mixedCase 🗿

[placid skiff]

the issue could be when he called the decorator

[maiden fable]

Can we please stop?

[final iron]

No

[placid skiff]

EXACTLY, when he used it, so we have to check when the decorator is called, you were telling him that he didn't declared ctx D_D

[hoary cargo]

i arrived when drama again damn

[maiden fable]

Same

[final iron]

Same

[placid skiff]

nvm just try to solve this issue

[maiden fable]

@slate swan @placid skiff can we please calm down?

[vale wing]

Regex

[placid skiff]

.. note::
The function returned by predicate is always a coroutine,
even if the original function was not a coroutine.

Here it is a note from the source code btw

[maiden fable]

Sooo?

Dude I just showed u an example from the dpy server

[placid skiff]

so is not necessary that predicate is async

[maiden fable]

That's how u should use the deco tho

[vale wing]

^

[maiden fable]

But he wants the predicate to be async

How can you call an async function inside a normal function

[hoary cargo]

well, there are various ways to do this anyway lol

[maiden fable]

.....?

[unkempt canyon]

discord.ext.commands.check\_any

@discord.ext.commands.check_any(*checks)```
A [`check()`](https://discordpy.readthedocs.io/en/master/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.

If all checks fail then [`CheckAnyFailure`](https://discordpy.readthedocs.io/en/master/ext/commands/api.html#discord.ext.commands.CheckAnyFailure "discord.ext.commands.CheckAnyFailure") is raised to signal the failure. It inherits from [`CheckFailure`](https://discordpy.readthedocs.io/en/master/ext/commands/api.html#discord.ext.commands.CheckFailure "discord.ext.commands.CheckFailure").

Note

The `predicate` attribute for this function **is** a coroutine.

New in version 1.3.

[placid skiff]

well in case of checks you can .-.

[vale wing]

asyncio.run_coroutine_threadsafe() ?

[maiden fable]

I think I'mma go away before I lose my cool

[hoary cargo]

good choice

[placid skiff]

i just don't understand why are you complaining it if even the documentation says that is not necessary D_D

[vale wing]

What the living hell

[maiden fable]

Why using check_any

[vale wing]

Okay seems legit but why not make the outer function a coro as well

[hoary cargo]

you overcomplicated that shit so much

[slate swan]

yea right
i totally forgot about that
simple answer
thanks

[vale wing]

Np

Use \d with the number modifiers

[placid skiff]

the outer function is the decorator function .-.

[vale wing]

If there are not gonna be any other numbers

[vale wing]

Ik but like coro inside non coro seems weird for me

[maiden fable]

can we seriously stop it now?

[placid skiff]

that's why declaring coro inside a check function is not necessary xD

[vale wing]

Ok

I mean you don’t really need the check_any. It’s designed to accept multiple checks and return if any of them return true.

Anyways who needs decorator checks when you have cog checks 😏

ctrl+a ctrl+c ctrl+v

[mossy wasp]

(some_id) Is the channel id right?

or server

[vale wing]

Yes but not including the brackets I hope yk python right

[placid skiff]

bro that is not a code of mine or something, that block of code is written inside the check function of discord.py, it checks if the predicate that you pass in the check is a coroutine function, if it isn't it turns the predicate in a coroutine. That's all, what is hard with that?

[vale wing]

🤯

[sage otter]

You guys are really talking about bots anymore. Might wanna chill before Hunter pulls out the ot-shit 👌

[placid skiff]

is related do d.py xD

[sage otter]

yup, is a code inside the discord.py

[vale wing]

Ok

[rocky trench]

You can't use await in a non async function.

Basic python

It like literally.. doesn't work

It will raise an exception

Clear enough to me

!e

async def print():
    print('hello')

def proof():
    await print()
proof()```

[unkempt canyon]

@rocky trench :x: Your eval job has completed with return code 1.

001 |   File "<string>", line 5
002 | SyntaxError: 'await' outside async function

[rocky trench]

^^

[vale wing]

Will an exec command that can execute async functions be considered a solid proof, cause I have one

[slate swan]

i mean

[vale wing]

2 mins

[rocky trench]

Ive got time

[slate swan]

bot had a property which gives you an asyncio loop ( idr )

[rocky trench]

This doesn't proof anything?

U didnt use await inside a function without async

Which is what they said that was possible

[cosmic agate]

hey guys

  name = random_sub.title
  url = random_sub.url
  likes = random_sub.score
  comments = random_sub.num_comments
  link = random_sub.selftext

  button = Button(label="Next Meme", style=nextcord.ButtonStyle.green)

  async def meme(self, interaction):
    await interaction.response.edit_message(title = name, url = url, colour=nextcord.Colour.random())


  view = View()  
  view.add_item(button)
  em = nextcord.Embed(title = name, url = url, colour=nextcord.Colour.random())
  em.set_image(url = url)
  em.set_footer(text =f"👍: {likes} | 💬: {comments}")

  await ctx.send(embed= em, view=view)
``` this my code for meme (there is more but its confidentional stuff)

[rocky trench]

Anyways, anyone knows how I can make my bot send tracebacks?

[cosmic agate]

apparently when i click the button, it does not give me a new meme

[rocky trench]

Basicly, I don't know how to do it. Just if there is an error, so it sends it in chat

[vale wing]

Um I can't get into github wtf

[cosmic agate]

guys help

[maiden fable]

Cool!

[vale wing]

I spent ages trying to figure out how to do that and couldn't find a way

[rocky trench]

!e
Like python bot:

def function():
    list= []
    print(list[0])
function()```

[unkempt canyon]

@rocky trench :x: Your eval job has completed with return code 1.

001 | Traceback (most recent call last):
002 |   File "<string>", line 4, in <module>
003 |   File "<string>", line 3, in function
004 | IndexError: list index out of range

[rocky trench]

Like this

[cosmic agate]

guys help

[slate swan]

do you mean that that the predicate def cannot be an async one?

[cosmic agate]

@maiden fable help?

pls sorry for ping

[rocky trench]

What's the point of pinging a random guy

[maiden fable]

Code brug

[cosmic agate]

can you help?

[cosmic agate]

this

[rocky trench]

I dont know your issue

[cosmic agate]

this

[slate swan]

well you're right
😅 i didnt read the complete chats so i got you wrong.

[maiden fable]

U ain't setting the call back anywhere

[sick birch]

Is nextcord a d.py fork?

[cosmic agate]

oooooooooooooo

yessir i use it

[sick birch]

Ok. then the method should be the same in d.py

[final iron]

Yes

[sick birch]

You're missing the nextcord.ui.button decorator

[cosmic agate]

yeah just change name from discord to nextcord

[cosmic agate]

thats for classes

[vale wing]

https://github.com/DevotedExuDevelopersTeam/ClanManager/blob/cd671691a8598925d83c6c1f4ac6d70a53cb7747/ext/admin.py#L40-L69

@slate swan this is the exec command

The link is weird

[hoary cargo]

assuming he subclasses view

[cosmic agate]

yeah

but in this case no

[rocky trench]

Hmm. So it's like not possible?

[vale wing]

Ok

[hoary cargo]

your problem is most likely in the callback

[rocky trench]

I'll do it when I'm at home

[vale wing]

In on_command_error it is None

So not even worth a try, already tried to implement such thing

Maybe we just need to catch more low-level stuff, like use on_error instead of on_command_error but I haven't ever tried that

[slate swan]

Exception._traceback_?

[placid skiff]

it is possible anyway, i just don't remember how and can't find the discussion that i had with the guy who explained this to me. i'm getting C:\Users\giacomo.dimatteo\PycharmProjects\ZhagoBot\lib\bot\bandi_check\Checks.py:69: RuntimeWarning: coroutine 'is_me.<locals>.predicate' was never awaited wrapper(ctx)

[vale wing]

As said above it is not possible within on_command_error

[placid skiff]

and the code is:

def is_me()->Callable[[T], T]:
    def predicate(ctx: AnyContext)->bool:
        @functools.wraps(predicate)
        async def wrapper(ctx):
            return predicate(ctx)
        wrapper(ctx)
    return check(predicate)

[slate swan]

https://github.com/Rapptz/discord.py/blob/98a31cf2858bd8f7e00bbd2b9f8aa520ae8536da/discord/ext/commands/bot.py#L233 it is, the default one uses it

[unkempt canyon]

discord/ext/commands/bot.py line 233

traceback.print_exception(type(exception), exception, exception.__traceback__, file=sys.stderr)```

[placid skiff]

essentially what i am doing is converting the predicate function into a coroutine function,

it's not like predicate will not be an async function, it will be a coroutine function, but not a declared one

[hoary cargo]

maybe just raise the error

[slate swan]

they want to send it on discord

[sick birch]

Use the traceback library to get it

[placid skiff]

btw reading this The check functions for command 'stupid_command' failed is a little bit hilarious

[maiden fable]

raise error FTW!

[sick birch]

They wanted to print it on discord

[hoary cargo]

raise the discord

[maiden fable]

My bad, sorry

[sick birch]

Honestly printing errors to console isn't that great, instead you could probably send all your errors somewhere else, I know there are platforms for that for watching for errors, or set up an admin bot dashboard to view errors

[slate swan]

make your own API and send your errors to the API using POST reqs

[sick birch]

Yep that works just as well

Store the errors in database and make a web app using maybe next.js and use something like getServerSideProps to render the errors

[pliant gulch]

What databases are able to properly store Exceptions?

You'd probably need to make a custom type, and an array for it?

[narrow grail]

how to play a audio file?

on replit

[terse blade]

async def embed(ctx):
  experience = users[f'{ctx.author.id}']["experience"]
  userlvl = users[f'{ctx.author.id}']['level']
  embed = discord.Embed (description=('Your rank is: {userlvl}'),
  set_author(name=ctx.author.name, icon_url=ctx.author.avatar_url)
  await ctx.send(embed=embed))```
why does this not work

[cerulean elbow]

This a level system. 🤔

[terse blade]

no its not
its a command

[cerulean elbow]

What’s it meant to do?

[terse blade]

display someones level?

[cerulean elbow]

Yes a embed level system

[terse blade]

no its a command

[cerulean elbow]

Same thing.

[terse blade]

it really isnt

[cerulean elbow]

Define the command

[rocky trench]

Its a command to find your level in the level system*

Its not the level system

[cerulean elbow]

That’s what I meant, 🤣🤣

[rocky trench]

Its not the same thing then

[terse blade]

no?

[hoary cargo]

if you don't see the errors means they don't exist

[slate swan]

    pass```
be like

[slate swan]

converting the Exception into a json and storing in a Mongodb database should be possible right?

[pliant gulch]

That's pretty much a custom type

[hoary cargo]

youtube tutorials be like
how to never get any errors in your console

[slate swan]

[pliant gulch]

I'm sure there are some databases out there with this data type builtin but my question was a bit too wide

[slate swan]

but storing exceptions is just a great fucking idea

you can just look at them later and fix them as they're stacked up

[terse blade]

what would authors url be

[grim oar]

Wtf use logging

[terse blade]

who

[grim oar]

!d discord.Member.avatar.url

[unkempt canyon]

Nah.

No documentation found for the requested symbol.

[grim oar]

Ok

[terse blade]

its ment to be author..

[grim oar]

author is a member or user

[slate swan]

Not sure but sentry.io can be used

probably wouldn't store the whole object, just the line, description, name of the exception

[rancid stump]

hello i want to send text file through bot can i can do that with this code ?

[slate swan]

and some data about the command

!d discord.Asset.url | get the Asset with Member.avatar

[unkempt canyon]

discord.Asset.url

property url```
Returns the underlying URL of the asset.

[slate swan]

!local-file

[unkempt canyon]

Thanks to discord.py, sending local files as embed images is simple. You have to create an instance of discord.File class:

# When you know the file exact path, you can pass it.
file = discord.File("/this/is/path/to/my/file.png", filename="file.png")

# When you have the file-like object, then you can pass this instead path.
with open("/this/is/path/to/my/file.png", "rb") as f:
    file = discord.File(f)

When using the file-like object, you have to open it in rb mode. Also, in this case, passing filename to it is not necessary.
Please note that filename can't contain underscores. This is a Discord limitation.

discord.Embed instances have a set_image method which can be used to set an attachment as an image:

embed = discord.Embed()
# Set other fields
embed.set_image(url="attachment://file.png")  # Filename here must be exactly same as attachment filename.

After this, you can send an embed with an attachment to Discord:

await channel.send(file=file, embed=embed)

This example uses discord.TextChannel for sending, but any instance of discord.abc.Messageable can be used for sending.

[slate swan]

well same logic here

not exactly the same thing, but almost

[grim oar]

What's wrong with writing to log files

[terse blade]

ctx.author.avatar.url
whats this ment to be

[slate swan]

# make a file object
file = discord.File("path to file")
await send(file= file)

[slate swan]

I don't understand the question

what did I say against it

[grim oar]

Why you storing exceptions in a database

[slate swan]

cuz it's faster and better practice

[grim oar]

No it's not

[slate swan]

and it's easier to use in the future

[slate swan]

yes, but the member should have a custom avatar here
Else you would have to use author.default_avatar.url

[slate swan]

A local log file is faster

[terse blade]

wym?

[slate swan]

!d discord.Member.avatar read the description it can be None, so when you will use .url it will raise an attribute error

!d discord.User.avatar

[unkempt canyon]

discord.User.avatar

property avatar```
Returns an [`Asset`](https://discordpy.readthedocs.io/en/master/api.html#discord.Asset "discord.Asset") for the avatar the user has.

If the user does not have a traditional avatar, `None` is returned. If you want the avatar that a user has displayed, consider [`display_avatar`](https://discordpy.readthedocs.io/en/master/api.html#discord.User.display_avatar "discord.User.display_avatar").

[slate swan]

The second paragraph here

[rancid stump]

discord.errors.InvalidArgument: file parameter must be File

[slate swan]

you didn't do what I asked you to do...

I can also use a database from anywhere

Show code

[rancid stump]

ok i got it

[terse blade]

so ctx.author.display_avatar.url?

[slate swan]

yea that works

[terse blade]

AttributeError: 'Member' object has no attribute 'display_avatar'

[slate swan]

now I was thinking about this argument for a while, so appreciate it please

What version of discord.py are you using

[terse blade]

1.7.3

[slate swan]

hm .avatar and other are for 2.0+
You may just use Member.avatar_url
Or update to 2.0 for using these properties

[terse blade]

updating then 🤣

[slate swan]

Great job 👏

[terse blade]

it just dosent display the embed now

[slate swan]

Code ?

[terse blade]

actually no commands work now tf

[slate swan]

hm, on_message moment

do you have that "event"?

[terse blade]

there gonna be slash commands so thats useless

[slate swan]

if yes, change the decorator from .event to .listen()

[terse blade]

but the cmds dont work

[slate swan]

you got that event or not?

[terse blade]

@bot.listen()
async def on_message(message):

so this?

[placid skiff]

what's going on here seems like an interesting issue

[terse blade]

my commands dont work now

[placid skiff]

code of the command

[slate swan]

use listen on all events

God is typing

[slate swan]

you sure the bot is running?

when

[terse blade]

it is

[slate swan]

wut

[terse blade]

it is on cause im getting xp feedback

[placid skiff]

code of the command which doesn't run

[slate swan]

^

[slate swan]

we need more context bruh

[terse blade]

the commands dont work but everything else does

[final iron]

Hello chat

[placid skiff]

SEND THE CODE

[final iron]

What's going on

[terse blade]

async def test(ctx,*, text):
  embed = discord.Embed(description=text)
  await ctx.send(embed=embed)```

[slate swan]

Can you like paste your complete code somewhere

!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 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.

[placid skiff]

if it is in one file xD

[terse blade]

https://paste.pythondiscord.com/akaraxisis

[slate swan]

cogs won't affect the commands in any ways tho

[final iron]

Yikes, JSON as a database

[terse blade]

TEST DATABASE

[final iron]

What's the point of making a test database with JSON if you're just going to have to change all your code when you get out of the "testing" phase

[slate swan]

1. Remove process_commands from the listener
2. Make sure you save the code before running the bot
3. Check your internet connection and heartbeat latency( bot.latency)

Since it might take time to send the request to discord sometimes

[terse blade]

thats the funny part im not gonna 🤣

[final iron]

Which means it's not a test database and it's your long term database

Which is a terrible idea

[terse blade]

why

it works

[terse blade]

commands still dont work

[final iron]

Read this

[slate swan]

.

[final iron]

Also something I have to add on is that you're eventually going to end up in JSON hell

[terse blade]

to think about in the future not the present

so why do commands not work?

[final iron]

.

[vocal plover]

heartbreak latency might just be the best typo ever

[terse blade]

i did all of these ...

still dont work

[slate swan]

my bad

[ivory juniper]

Jesus is proud of you

[placid skiff]

if not f'{user.id}' in users: wth is this shit?

[slate swan]

I'll simply blame my keyboard's autocorrect for that and pretend that nothing happened

[vocal plover]

[terse blade]

^

[slate swan]

What was the latency?

[terse blade]

its not my internet.

[slate swan]

Latency is not related to your internet tho, just try printing it inside an on_ready event

[terse blade]

1ms

[slate swan]

probably trying to check if the string form of someone's id exist in a list/tuple/dict/any iterable

[terse blade]

Packets: Sent = 4, Received = 4, Lost = 0 (0% loss),
Approximate round trip times in milli-seconds:
Minimum = 0ms, Maximum = 0ms, Average = 0ms

[slate swan]

But should use str(user.id)

That's not what I asked for mate, print bot.latency

[terse blade]

0.11692290000000005

[slate swan]

😩 that's not the issue then

[terse blade]

so nothing is

[placid skiff]

when does your commands stopped working?

[slate swan]

Last question Are you running the correct bot?

[terse blade]

what?

[terse blade]

it just dosent work

[slate swan]

I mean does your bot even get online

[terse blade]

yes

cause it collects xp

[placid skiff]

I asked you when it stopped working

[slate swan]

How did you invoke the command?

[terse blade]

it dosent work what?

oh as in time?

[placid skiff]

Your command worked before?

they ever worked?

[terse blade]

yes

[placid skiff]

ok when they stopped working?

[terse blade]

when i updated from 1.7.3 to 2.0.0a it stopped

so...

[slate swan]

Wait I know what happened

[placid skiff]

check asyncio last version please

[slate swan]

!d discord.Intents.message_content

[unkempt canyon]

discord.Intents.message\_content

Whether message content, attachments, embeds and components will be available in messages which do not meet the following criteria:

• The message was sent by the client

• The message was sent in direct messages

• The message mentions the client

This applies to the following events...

[slate swan]

It's a privelaged intent now

and you need it for commands to work

[placid skiff]

uhm so your bot now needs this even to execute commands? cool

[flat solstice]

and there's this https://gist.github.com/Rapptz/6706e1c8f23ac27c98cee4dd985c8120

[flat solstice]

correct

[flat solstice]

altho commands invoked with a ping still go through without the intent

[slate swan]

Yea, messages which mention the bot and dm messages still provide the content

[terse blade]

So I do from discord import intent?

[placid skiff]

so essentially if one of my bot exceeds 100 or more servers it will stop working entirely until they verify it

[slate swan]

intents= discord.Intent.default()
intents.message_content = True

bot = command.Bot(...., intents = intents)

[narrow grail]

is it possible to import a event from an other file ?

[slate swan]

cogs

!d discord.ext.commands.Cog

[unkempt canyon]

discord.ext.commands.Cog

class discord.ext.commands.Cog(*args, **kwargs)```
The base class that all cogs must inherit from.

A cog is a collection of commands, listeners, and optional state to help group commands together. More information on them can be found on the [Cogs](https://discordpy.readthedocs.io/en/master/ext/commands/cogs.html#ext-commands-cogs) page.

When inheriting from this class, the options shown in [`CogMeta`](https://discordpy.readthedocs.io/en/master/ext/commands/api.html#discord.ext.commands.CogMeta "discord.ext.commands.CogMeta") are equally valid here.

[slate swan]

!d discord.ext.commands.Bot.add_listener

[unkempt canyon]

discord.ext.commands.Bot.add\_listener

add_listener(func, name=...)```
The non decorator alternative to [`listen()`](https://discordpy.readthedocs.io/en/master/ext/commands/api.html#discord.ext.commands.Bot.listen "discord.ext.commands.Bot.listen").

[slate swan]

Or this

wut

he ment an event in another file

[narrow grail]

what I should put in for args and kwargs?

[slate swan]

you subclass the class

[slate swan]

They can just import the function and add_listener(function, name)

[narrow grail]

@slate swan also import discord.ext to this other file?

[slate swan]

Essentially what the listener decorator does

https://github.com/Rapptz/discord.py/blob/master/discord/ext/commands/cog.py#L523-L524

[unkempt canyon]

discord/ext/commands/cog.py lines 523 to 524

for name, method_name in self.__cog_listeners__:
    bot.add_listener(getattr(self, method_name), name)```

[narrow grail]

why is this so complicated? I only want to import the message.author to the other file, to put it in the list where I add random messages

[honest vessel]

easy i guess if use cogs and decorations

@slate swanprob a personal preference

[narrow grail]

never worked with cogs so that's the problem

[honest vessel]

make an event aka listener???

that delete is weird

where is count= and userid=

count=3 AND userid=?

[final iron]

It's literally just working inside of a class

Easy peasy

[honest vessel]

prob made cogs wrong

[narrow grail]

never worked with classes too

[final iron]

yikes

[narrow grail]

[final iron]

That's why you should learn python before making a Discord bot

[vale wing]

Oh nvm

[narrow grail]

I understand many things when I already used them before

but I never needed cogs before

and classes too

[honest vessel]

u can have multi events of same in cogs

or do i missunderstand u?

[cerulean elbow]

Practice, practice, trial & error = python 👑😂

[honest vessel]

@narrow grailhere is a cog

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


    @commands.Cog.listener("on_member_join")
    async def on_member_join(self, member : disnake.Member):
        print(member)



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

[narrow grail]

but for me as a beginner is python the best program language I ever seen. It is easier to understand then other program language in my opinion

[cerulean elbow]

Why you needing them now?

[slate swan]

for file in os.listdir("../utils/cogs/"):
    if file.endswith(".py"):
        verify_command = client.load_extension(f'verify.{file[:-3]}')

this gives me error no module named "verify"

[cerulean elbow]

👍🏼

[narrow grail]

@cerulean elbow

[slate swan]

layout

[honest vessel]

why is it verify.file

[slate swan]

its not verify.file it's in a f string

[honest vessel]

it is verify.{file[:-3]}

[slate swan]

yes

[honest vessel]

why

[slate swan]

it's in {}

[narrow grail]

what does init and IRL means?

[slate swan]

because it's a f string

[honest vessel]

IRL is the classname, and init is initation of class lol basic python go google "python classes"

[slate swan]

the for loop looks for all the files in that directory i specified and then if the file endswith .py it will strip out the .py and load the file name

but i need to do it from my cwd

which is what im trying to figure out and i need help with it

[honest vessel]

@slate swanit should be like this

        for filename in os.listdir('./cogs'):
            filename.lower()
            if filename.endswith('.py'):
                filename = filename[:-3]
                if filename in botcogs:
                    try:
                        bot.load_extension(f"cogs.{filename}")

[slate swan]

but my cogs folder is not in the cwd

its in a previous directory

..

[honest vessel]

oh but it should still be cogs.filename

not vinity.filename?

[slate swan]

It should be verify and that’s all

So like ../utils/cogs/verify.py

[honest vessel]

@slate swancan u try change verify. to cogs. ?

on load_exstansion

[slate swan]

Ok I will try and return in 20 minutes I have to go out with my dog

[honest vessel]

lol

[slate swan]

But thanks for the help.

[honest vessel]

it takes 1 second but whatever

[cosmic agate]

hwy guys

i made meme command with button

but button not giving new meme

  random_sub = random.choice(all_subs)

  name = random_sub.title
  url = random_sub.url
  likes = random_sub.score
  comments = random_sub.num_comments
  link = random_sub.selftext

  button = Button(label="Next Meme", style=nextcord.ButtonStyle.green)

  async def button_callback(interaction):
    await interaction.response.edit_message(nextcord.Embed(title = name, url = url, colour=nextcord.Colour.random()))

  button.callback = button_callback

  
  em = nextcord.Embed(title = name, url = url, colour=nextcord.Colour.random())
  button = Button(label="Next Meme", style=nextcord.ButtonStyle.green)

  async def button_callback(interaction):
    await interaction.response.edit_message(nextcord.Embed(title = name, url = url, colour=nextcord.Colour.random()))
  view = View()  
  view.add_item(button)
  em.set_image(url = url)
  em.set_footer(text =f"👍 {likes} | 💬 {comments}")

  await ctx.send(embed= em, view=view)

this my code

[honest vessel]

btw kek

[cosmic agate]

all code is not there, only important code

[cerulean elbow]

Did you import nextcord?

[honest vessel]

if button not give new meme its probally cause u dont recall the function that grabs memes

random.choice() only run once

when bot starts?

[flat solstice]

so per d.py's asycio changes I have this main func which starts my botpy async def main(self): async with aiohttp.ClientSession() as session:is there a way for me to access this ClientSession() elsewhere in my code (in one of my cogs)

[cosmic agate]

obviously

[cosmic agate]

?

[honest vessel]

I mean can u post code

u kinda cut off the code...

[cosmic agate]

no i remove code where theres confidential stuff

[honest vessel]

when is this runned ```py
random_sub = random.choice(all_subs)

name = random_sub.title
url = random_sub.url
likes = random_sub.score
comments = random_sub.num_comments
link = random_sub.selftext

button = Button(label="Next Meme", style=nextcord.ButtonStyle.green)

and how

[cosmic agate]

??

[cerulean elbow]

I had to ask, sometimes it’s the simple things missing

[honest vessel]

@cosmic agatei guess no one can help u then

[cosmic agate]

https://tenor.com/view/really-bruh-blink-blank-face-gif-12917060

hmmmmmmmmmmmm

[gaunt ice]

what's the problem

[honest vessel]

cause u dont show code that is part of issue

[cosmic agate]

hmm wait

@bot.command(aliases = ['MEME', 'Meme', 'Memes', 'MEMES', 'memes'])
async def meme(ctx):
  all_subs = []


  subreddit = reddit.subreddit("meme")

  top = subreddit.top(limit = 50)

  for submission in top:
    all_subs.append(submission)

  random_sub = random.choice(all_subs)

  name = random_sub.title
  url = random_sub.url
  likes = random_sub.score
  comments = random_sub.num_comments
  link = random_sub.selftext

  
  em = nextcord.Embed(title = name, url = url, colour=nextcord.Colour.random())
  button = Button(label="Next Meme", style=nextcord.ButtonStyle.green)

  async def button_callback(interaction):
    await interaction.response.edit_message(embed = em)
  button.callback = button_callback
  view = View()  
  view.add_item(button)
  em.set_image(url = url)
  em.set_footer(text =f"👍 {likes} | 💬 {comments}")

  await ctx.send(embed= em, view=view)

[honest vessel]

as i thought ur code

[cosmic agate]

??

[honest vessel]

  random_sub = random.choice(all_subs)

  name = random_sub.title
  url = random_sub.url
  likes = random_sub.score
  comments = random_sub.num_comments
  link = random_sub.selftext
``` that gernerates memes is only ran once when so if u click buttons its same meme

[cosmic agate]

hmm

so how to make new meme?

[honest vessel]

u need to make random_sub = random.choice(all_subs)

run when click button

[cosmic agate]

explain

idu

[honest vessel]

simple way would be make a function that returns memes

and use that function on ur button too

[cosmic agate]

IDU

sorry for caps

could you explain

[honest vessel]

hmm

i thought i did 😛 but i will try agian

have a function that generates memes

let it return the data u want to use

and button_callback recall that function again

that way it will rerun the generate_meme function

[cosmic agate]

im sorry im dumb

ill be back

[honest vessel]

lol?

my_function():
     return random.randint(0,10)

print(my_function())
print(my_function())

[frozen elk]

whats the use of "!r" python

[honest vessel]

!e
name="monkey"
string = f"{name!r}"
print(string)

no idea

https://stackoverflow.com/questions/44800801/in-python-format-f-string-strings-what-does-r-mean

[honest vessel]

so it sais same

[slate swan]

yes

[honest vessel]

did u import Cog?

[slate swan]

import cog?

[manic wing]

pip uninstall cogs

[honest vessel]

from discord.ext.commands import Cog

[slate swan]

this is the bot.py file which only should load it

idu

[slate swan]

ok

[honest vessel]

i dont even know what idu means

[slate swan]

i don't understand

[manic wing]

whelp

[honest vessel]

can u show ur imports

[manic wing]

show code

[honest vessel]

prob forgot import Cog

[honest vessel]

hahaha i see now xP

[proper acorn]

Everyone

What is

[honest vessel]

42

[proper acorn]

'r' when read json file

[honest vessel]

it means read

[manic wing]

!open

[unkempt canyon]

Opening files

The built-in function open() is one of several ways to open files on your computer. It accepts many different parameters, so this tag will only go over two of them (file and mode). For more extensive documentation on all these parameters, consult the official documentation. The object returned from this function is a file object or stream, for which the full documentation can be found here.

See also:
• !tags with for information on context managers
• !tags pathlib for an alternative way of opening files
• !tags seek for information on changing your position in a file

The file parameter

This should be a path-like object denoting the name or path (absolute or relative) to the file you want to open.

An absolute path is the full path from your root directory to the file you want to open. Generally this is the option you should choose so it doesn't matter what directory you're in when you execute your module.

See !tags relative-path for more information on relative paths.

The mode parameter

This is an optional string that specifies the mode in which the file should be opened. There's not enough room to discuss them all, but listed below are some of the more confusing modes.

'r+' Opens for reading and writing (file must already exist)
'w+' Opens for reading and writing and truncates (can create files)
'x' Creates file and opens for writing (file must not already exist)
'x+' Creates file and opens for reading and writing (file must not already exist)
'a+' Opens file for reading and writing at end of file (can create files)

[proper acorn]

oh ok tysm!

[slate swan]

import discord
import pathlib

from json import load
from discord import app_commands
from discord.ext import commands

    config = load(f)

    await client.tree.sync()

client.run(config["token"])

[manic wing]

dude read the error

[manic wing]

if you print new_path does it return a valid path? the iterdir is what is raising the error

[honest vessel]

yes am sorry am wrong lol

[slate swan]

oh ok

[honest vessel]

and dont load on on_ready plz

[manic wing]

python errors say exactly where the error comes from, if there is some python folder in the file path then you know the error is coming from the internals, meaning they passed an arg wrong, not imported something wrong

[cosmic agate]

?? im back

[honest vessel]

aaah

[forest minnow]

how to make code for all members counting on all servers where is bot?

[honest vessel]

@slate swandont load exstentions in on_ready
and consider have a loop for more files u wanna load in future

[manic wing]

what

[honest vessel]

like this

        total_users = 0
        total_bots = 0
        for x in self.bot.guilds:
            for y in x.members:
                if y.bot:
                    total_bots += 1
                else:
                    total_users += 1 
``` ?

[forest minnow]

counting in status or in command

[manic wing]

learn list comp

[honest vessel]

I know 😛

[forest minnow]

example: 1000 members

on 20 servers

[slate swan]

https://www.reddit.com/r/memes/.json
you could use this?

[honest vessel]

@manic wingtheory is same tho

[forest minnow]

all members in all servers count

[cosmic agate]

json crap

[honest vessel]

u can grab how many servers with len(bot.guilds)

[slate swan]

what

you do know that the whole web works on json (mostly)

[cosmic agate]

ik

[honest vessel]

json is crap for using as database thats all

[cosmic agate]

but json integration crap on discord

[honest vessel]

database -> json is the way

[slate swan]

huh?

[cosmic agate]

yeah

[slate swan]

json isnt bad ;-;

[honest vessel]

json is good if used correctly

[slate swan]

nor does it have anything to do with discord

[cosmic agate]

SQlite much better

[cosmic agate]

which is hard

[vocal plover]

using json correctly is very very simple: use it for data transmission

[honest vessel]

i mean if u want to call alot json is tiny n fast... cache from database give json to be used/spammed

instead of call database

[cosmic agate]

hmm

so

[honest vessel]

or to share data like api json is the way

[slate swan]

stop

json isnt a database, its a data type, how dows SQL even come in the way of json

[honest vessel]

json != database

yeah

[slate swan]

json is for formatting data

dunno who put that in people's head

[honest vessel]

discord bots put in their heads

economic bots kek

[slate swan]

the people who help here*

no j's son😳

[slate swan]

tempted to slap you

[honest vessel]

sum here, but i guess json works if not patiance to learn sql

[slate swan]

😔

[honest vessel]

and has a very small server

but think json is for store DATA as a database ur so wrong

[slate swan]

SQL is a language, json is a data format, where are you headed to?

anyways, its ot lol

[honest vessel]

what i am saying

u just say same thing diffrent words

[cosmic agate]

ddddd

[slate swan]

@cosmic agate so, yes, use that, endpoint, it'll save power and be faster

[honest vessel]

json is a static file it is nothing more than a textfile

[slate swan]

^^

[cosmic agate]

hmm

but

[slate swan]

what now

[honest vessel]

But yeah just learn to use a databse

[cosmic agate]

i dont want to complicate things for a meme command

[honest vessel]

@cosmic agatedid u do as i said?

[cosmic agate]

also idk about OOP

[honest vessel]

make ur meme_generator as a function

[cosmic agate]

i didnt understand

[honest vessel]

and call that function for ur button n when use command

[slate swan]

pffttt, nvm, just do whatever you want, goodluck

[honest vessel]

^lol

@cosmic agatebasic python tho, play around with functions so u know how u can call em

or as they call it methods

[lusty sky]

What permission attribute is for unbanning
does ban_members give permission to unban also?

[regal cove]

i use an sqlite database for my discord bot and i wonder if i can make a command which will register everysingle member in a discord server and save their information (id and balance) in my db file? would i have to make a loop which registers them all or can i just get the member list and get them all?

[regal cove]

administrator is enough

[lusty sky]

but not all who have perms to ban also have admin

[manic wing]

yes

[vocal plover]

Please don't give admin to bots for that - yes ban_members also lets you unban

[lusty sky]

thanks

[lusty sky]

why not does it cause conflictions?

[honest vessel]

@cosmic agatei give u one more example of functions so u understand

import random

def number_generator():
    generated_number = random.randint(0, 100)
    return generated_number


a = number_generator()
b = number_generator()

``` a and b gonna call number_generator() and get a number

[regal cove]

just give your bot administrator and it will be able to do everything

[vocal plover]

Please stop giving potentially dangerous advice

https://tutorial-alpha.vcokltfre.dev/tips/permissions/

[honest vessel]

sketchy link

[regal cove]

no

just no. its not dangerous at all

[lusty sky]

I see. Thanks

[regal cove]

just dont test commands in a server u cant risk stuff in

[vocal plover]

It is, and the above page explains exactly why

[regal cove]

i read those and they are stupid

how would just token get leaked?

just dont be stupid and it wont get leaked dude

[vocal plover]

You didn't read the page lmao

because it explains in response to exactly that

[final iron]

^

🗿

[honest vessel]

dont invite a bot someone tells u to invite

[regal cove]

bro

[honest vessel]

and u safe

[regal cove]

how would u possibly leak your token tho

[regal cove]

no we are talking about your own bot. he is saying its dangerous to give your own bot admin perms

[honest vessel]

oh fuck no

[final iron]

Read the page fully

[honest vessel]

my bot is server-owner

[lusty sky]

@kick.error
async def kick_error(error, ctx):
    if isinstance(error, MissingPermissions):
        text = "Sorry {}, you do not have permissions to do that!".format(ctx.message.author)
        await ctx.send_message(ctx.message.channel, text)```

[regal cove]

i did

[lusty sky]

any reason why it doesnt say this when someone cant use the command?

[regal cove]

and i dont see how a person could leak your token

imo that article is just wrong in so many ways

[vocal plover]

You could leak your own token, humans make mistakes, as the page explains

[final iron]

"No. As mentioned in point 2 people make mistakes"

[regal cove]

would u test commands in a server u care about

[regal cove]

how tf would u make a mistake tho

just keep your token for yourself and no one will get it

[vocal plover]

So you've never done anything by accident before which you regretted?

[final iron]

^

[honest vessel]

isnt it ctx, error tho

[regal cove]

is this an inside joke y'all are playing on me?

just like u wouldnt tell anyone your password u wouldnt tell anyone your token

[lusty sky]

then its saying ctx is not defined

[final iron]

No

[vocal plover]

And there's a whole database of millions of passwords online that have been leaked

[regal cove]

no shit dude

[final iron]

ctx will be interpreted as the error and error will be interpreted as context

[vocal plover]

so just because you wouldnt tell anyone doesnt mean it cant get leaked

[regal cove]

but ur acting like thats cus someone told them their password

[honest vessel]

@lusty skywhen u place error, ctx u kinda twist them

[regal cove]

how about i do this then. i put my token in my code and never touch it

[slate swan]

ctx is always the first parameter (if you arent in a cog, for now, error is working as ctx and ctx is working as error)
and send_message isnt a thing iirc, await ctx.send(text) works

[cosmic agate]

ok
im an idiot
I AM A CERTIFIED IDIOT

[lusty sky]

giving bot admin

[honest vessel]

dont be so hatefull

[regal cove]

they are saying u shouldnt give your admin perms

and maybe u shouldnt but i dont agree with the arguments they said

[lusty sky]

Thank you and yeah not using cogs yet I dont have knowledge on it so everything is just in main for now until I move forward

[vocal plover]

those points have been pinned in this channel for the best part of a year now with no complaints from anyone else

[slate swan]

its okay, everybody is (a bit maybe, dont get me wrong please)

[regal cove]

alright

honestly tho this is a useless argument guys

[honest vessel]

@slate swanpost cute emojis

[regal cove]

it really doesnt matter

[slate swan]

uh

[honest vessel]

jk lol

[regal cove]

if u guys wont give admin perms to your bots thats fine

just kick and reinvite your bot if thats needed

[honest vessel]

I would never invite a public bot asking for admin persm thats for sure tho

[slate swan]

cool cool

[regal cove]

and if my bot gets fucked cus i leaked my token i will tell u guys and u can all laugh at me

[cosmic agate]

np i get it

[regal cove]

ik

but im just trying to end the argument cus it really doesnt matter lol

it such a small detail honestly

[honest vessel]

CTRL+SHIFT+i copy the weird line of random numbers n letters ty @slate swan

[full lily]

This might be true for bots, but I'm not so sure about user accounts

[slate swan]

but why dont u just youse that link and make life easier 😔

[vocal plover]

Discord's token scanning works on bot and user tokens, but it only currently happens on github and github gists

[cosmic agate]

idk how to implement

[regal cove]

all y'all smart people can also go to #databases and help me out with my discord bots database there thank u very much

[vocal plover]

@unkempt canyon will delete your message but the token is still valid, neither Discord not the pydis bots will revoke your token if posted in chat

Yes

I said that discord wont revoke the token

It's possible someone uploaded it to github to get it changed, but Discord doesnt actively scan messages for tokens and revoke the tokens, it will display a popup if you try to send tokens now, but no backend automation exists right now to reset them

[slate swan]

numbers = list(range(1,100))

@bot.command(alises = ["si"])
async def simp(ctx):
  ctx.send("You are " + random.choice(numbers) + "% simp")

[cosmic agate]

sad

[slim ibex]

string cant be added to int

[slate swan]

use randint

ohhhhhhhh

random.randint()

[cold sonnet]

and f-strings and await

[velvet tinsel]

mate if you're just gonna use "si" just name your function si

[cold sonnet]

he made a typo on aliases

[velvet tinsel]

yeah I figured

[cold sonnet]

but he can use simp too

[velvet tinsel]

i was wondering why he didn't get an error about that

[hushed galleon]

i know RoboDanny on the discord.py server automatically uploads tokens to github for discord's system to see

[cold sonnet]

well dunno

[velvet tinsel]

perhaps an error earlier on in the code

[cold sonnet]

that's robodanny

[velvet tinsel]

mate.

[cold sonnet]

robodanny literally has access to everything

[velvet tinsel]

random.randint(<number, <number>)

[slate swan]

omg

im dumb as fuc

[velvet tinsel]

🤷

[cold sonnet]

did they really name the argument b

[velvet tinsel]

yes

[slate swan]

what is <>

[velvet tinsel]

!d random.randint

[unkempt canyon]

random.randint

random.randint(a, b)```
Return a random integer *N* such that `a <= N <= b`. Alias for `randrange(a, b+1)`.

[cold sonnet]

ew

[velvet tinsel]

mate it's just an example of where to put your numbers

[cold sonnet]

you sound really briish there mate

[slate swan]

do i have to put ><

[cosmic agate]

guys i made a meme command

[slate swan]

[velvet tinsel]

cheers

[cold sonnet]

no

[cosmic agate]

with next meme button

[slate swan]

[slate swan]

[cosmic agate]

but the button doesnt work

[velvet tinsel]

for god's sake

[slate swan]

[cold sonnet]

I started being proud of you transil

ey what for those frankly many variables

DEKRIEL I'M LIKE U

[lusty sky]

The user has no perms to manage_messages and I have a permission check for it to use the clear command but for some reason they can still make the bot clear messages?

Any idea why?

@client.command()
@commands.has_permissions(manage_messages=True)
async def clear(ctx, amount=30):
    await ctx.channel.purge(limit=amount+1)```

[cold sonnet]

seems right to me

but amount isn't an int

[slate swan]

@bot.command(alises = ["si"])
async def simp(ctx):
  ctx.send("You are " + random. randint(1,101) + "% simp")

bRIJ

[velvet tinsel]

bruhhh

[slate swan]

has_permissions checks if the user has the guild permissions and the channel permissions if user has the channel permissions then

[cold sonnet]

convert it to an str

[slate swan]

OHHH nvm

[boreal ravine]

cast it to a string

[velvet tinsel]

use f-strings or just convert it to a str mate

[cold sonnet]

mate

[velvet tinsel]

is it late there?

[terse blade]

AttributeError: module 'discord' has no attribute 'Intent'

[cold sonnet]

!d discord.Intents

[unkempt canyon]

discord.Intents

class discord.Intents(**kwargs)```
Wraps up a Discord gateway intent flag.

Similar to [`Permissions`](https://discordpy.readthedocs.io/en/master/api.html#discord.Permissions "discord.Permissions"), the properties provided are two way. You can set and retrieve individual bits using the properties as if they were regular bools.

To construct an object you can pass keyword arguments denoting the flags to enable or disable.

This is used to disable certain gateway features that are unnecessary to run your bot. To make use of this, it is passed to the `intents` keyword argument of [`Client`](https://discordpy.readthedocs.io/en/master/api.html#discord.Client "discord.Client").

New in version 1.5...

[lusty sky]

Its not my code apparently tho for some reason my alt can still delete messages

[boreal ravine]

Intents

[velvet tinsel]

*Intents

[lusty sky]

without the bot for some reason

[cold sonnet]

huh

[slate swan]

why this code not working???

@bot.command()
@commands.has_permissions(ban_members=True)
async def ban(ctx, user: discord.Member, *, reason=None):
    if not reason:
        await user.ban()

    else:
        await user.kick(reason=reason)
        await ctx.send(f"**{user}** has been banned for **{reason}**.")

[slate swan]

also check the @ everyone role if it has manage_messages enabled

[velvet tinsel]

how does it not work?

also why did you use user.kick lmao

I thought it was a ban command

[slate swan]

can anyone give me am example of how this f in string thingy works

[cold sonnet]

could remove the whole check for the reason

[boreal ravine]

!f-strings

[slate swan]

Intents*

[unkempt canyon]

Creating a Python string with your variables using the + operator can be difficult to write and read. F-strings (format-strings) make it easy to insert values into a string. If you put an f in front of the first quote, you can then put Python expressions between curly braces in the string.

>>> snake = "pythons"
>>> number = 21
>>> f"There are {number * 2} {snake} on the plane."
"There are 42 pythons on the plane."

Note that even when you include an expression that isn't a string, like number * 2, Python will convert it to a string for you.

[velvet tinsel]

they have an s at the end which is fucking annoying

[slate swan]

oooopssssss

[boreal ravine]

import it..

[velvet tinsel]

^

[cold sonnet]

import what

[slate swan]

forgot to change after copying from my kick command 💀

[velvet tinsel]

mate you're copying 💀

@boreal ravine i dont think they forgot to import it though

it would have an attribute error

[terse blade]

what is blue?

[velvet tinsel]

or if they just used randint() then perhaps

[velvet tinsel]

blue is a color

[terse blade]

no like the code

[cold sonnet]

!d discord.Colour.blue this?

[velvet tinsel]

*colour

[unkempt canyon]

discord.Colour.blue

classmethod blue()```
A factory method that returns a [`Colour`](https://discordpy.readthedocs.io/en/master/api.html#discord.Colour "discord.Colour") with a value of `0x3498db`.

If you want to ask questions about python then #python-discussion

[slate swan]

how to make your bot send embed?

[cosmic agate]

https://tenor.com/view/what-hello-yes-say-what-gif-15655177

[unkempt canyon]

discord.Embed

class discord.Embed(*, colour=None, color=None, title=None, type='rich', url=None, description=None, timestamp=None)```
Represents a Discord embed.

len(x) Returns the total size of the embed. Useful for checking if it’s within the 6000 character limit.

bool(b) Returns whether the embed has any data set.

New in version 2.0.

For ease of use, all parameters that expect a [`str`](https://docs.python.org/3/library/stdtypes.html#str "(in Python v3.10)") are implicitly casted to [`str`](https://docs.python.org/3/library/stdtypes.html#str "(in Python v3.10)") for you.

Changed in version 2.0: `Embed.Empty` has been removed in favour of `None`.

[velvet tinsel]

…

Ah I see they have changed Embed.Empty

[cosmic agate]

??

[honest vessel]

type='poor'?

[slate swan]

broke*

[velvet tinsel]

@slate swan https://discord.com/developers/docs/resources/channel#embed-object-embed-types

check this out, I looked on the docs

'rich' apparently means " generic embed rendered from embed attributes"

i don't like it when kayle types it makes me nervous

[boreal ravine]

just checked, he's from SA, just thought he was japanese because he speaks it

[pallid meadow]

Your are just incorrect lol idk what to tell you. It’s not a good practice at all

[slate swan]

ctx.send(f'You are ' {random.randint(1,101)} '% simp')

[slate swan]

what did i doo wrong this time

[slate swan]

ctx.send(f'You are  {random.randint(1,101)} % simp') 

i'm working on a discord bot that checks a api for it's contents, but if it hasn't found anything (the api) it just returns {"success":"error"} but if it has it returns {"found":"12"} but if i have foundamount = data['found'] in the same discord command it bugs out when it doesnt find anything. im trying to find out a way to check first if it hasnt found anything and if it has to open a def function that sneds the text of the found things.

like that?

Defer the interaction

[boreal ravine]

maybe, try it and see

[cosmic agate]

wdym

[slate swan]

can anyone help?

[boreal ravine]

!d nextcord.InteractionResponse.defer if you don't send anything in the interaction within 3 seconds, you have to defer it

[unkempt canyon]

nextcord.InteractionResponse.defer

await defer(*, ephemeral=False, with_message=False)```
This function is a [*coroutine*](https://docs.python.org/3/library/asyncio-task.html#coroutine).

Defers the interaction response.

This is typically used when the interaction is acknowledged and a secondary action will be done later.

[boreal ravine]

use that method at the top of the method by the way

[cosmic agate]

that doesnt help

[boreal ravine]

it does though

what don't you get?

[boreal ravine]

Check if the JSON that the API returns has a "success" key and if it does, then "open" a function ig

[slate swan]

How do I open a function like that?

I've tried opening a function but it never works

Could u give me an example?

[boreal ravine]

Well, you don't. You "call" functions not open them

[terse blade]

how to slash commands

[slate swan]

How do I "call" a function in a command?

[boreal ravine]

def hello():
    pass

hello()
``` sure

[slate swan]

OHH

[boreal ravine]

make the function -> call it

[slate swan]

wait lemme try

if it doesnt work ill lyk

[slate swan]

wait, but the def function uses await ctx.send(f"found: {found}") and i've tried that before and it didnt work.

[boreal ravine]
