None

[heady sluice]

cuz your client's cache is empty

[wispy solstice]

discord.ext.commands.errors.CommandInvokeError: Command raised an exception: AttributeError: 'NoneType' object has no attribute 'members'

[heady sluice]

cuz your client is not your client

[wispy solstice]

how isn't my client 😂

[heady sluice]

is it in the main file now

[wispy solstice]

no, should i use the main

but how if it didn't work?

[heady sluice]

GRRR

[wispy solstice]

😂

[heady sluice]

how did you do it then

[wispy solstice]

i just changed fetch to get

[slate swan]

You still haven't changed what I've said...

[heady sluice]

but the cache is empty

[wispy solstice]

It worked

But if the cache is emptyn

it should not sending messages right?

[slate swan]

^

[heady sluice]

I think it can

[slate swan]

https://i.imgur.com/I7wBEug.png

[wispy solstice]

It sends the messages so the client works right?

[slate swan]

hey guys why does it say interactin failed when it worked?
It keeps loading when I click it as well.

[heady sluice]

no

they're not the same

[wispy solstice]

I'm using client.command, it shouldn't mark the command even?

[heady sluice]

it's a Command instance whatsoever

if you add it to the bot, it works

ey that's one year of python right there

[slate swan]

Now simply do await ctx.respond(..., ephemeral=True) to make it an ephemeral message

Why did you have to change everything?

Keep your old code and just append , ephemeral=True as I've said above.

[slate swan]

^

[wispy solstice]

I forgot about ctx.guild, let's try it

[slate swan]

Just like a normal embed

Right above your respond

And pass embed=x in the call

[heady sluice]

bro you got the cup of tea already which you put on the table, you know where the tablet is, just take the tablet and put the cup on it before serving

Why does only the x button work?

[heady sluice]

your code formatting messed it up

[slate swan]

woah wtf

Well you never respond in the first case

You just do some embed formatting, just never do anything at the end

Unlike the second where you await interaction.message.edit(embed=embed)

!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.

[slate swan]

But as I said

Please read it, you will see

[slate swan]

^

[heady sluice]

I only see like 200 variables

[slate swan]

You mean interaction.message.respond?

Just compare the end of your both callbacks

[wispy solstice]

And it worked without cogs @slate swan @heady sluice xD

[slate swan]

One has await interaction.message.edit(embed=embed)

The other one has nothing

didn't copy the edit
thank a lot

[heady sluice]

I still hate it

[slate swan]

Indentation is wrong

[heady sluice]

you've got limitations

[languid jungle]

hey, please don't use ableist words

[wispy solstice]

I'll see what the issue is

[slate swan]

what is that?

[heady sluice]

are you a new mod

[languid jungle]

nope, I've been around for a while

[heady sluice]

or just really rare to see here

[languid jungle]

more than 1 year

[heady sluice]

I'm newer

[slate swan]

wat dat sir?

[languid jungle]

the r-word

[slate swan]

Embed needs to have some indentation like the following

embed = discord.Embed(
    title="...",
    color=....
)
embed...
await...

[slate swan]

oh sorry sir

Your profile picture look like jesus

Nope

[heady sluice]

bro it's obiwan kenobi

[slate swan]

Oh sorry
who is that?

[heady sluice]

da heck

[slate swan]

You did like

    embed = discord.Embed(
    title="...",
    color=....
)
embed...
await...

[heady sluice]

star wars

[slate swan]

https://tenor.com/view/star-wars-gif-23352662

this one?
that's the first gif I found lol

[heady sluice]

...

[slate swan]

Everything should be aligned at the same place as embed = ...

Nope, under msg

Otherwise it won't be executed if it's in the if statement

Which would be unfortunate

Yep, and put at the same level embed = ... and everything else

You have:

    msg = "..."
embed = ...
...

You need:

    msg = "..." # Which will then be deleted
    embed = ...
    ...

[spring flax]

there's nothing wrong with this line right? if isinstance(original_error, (commands.CommandNotFound, commands.CheckAnyFailure, disnake.HTTPException)):

[slate swan]

See the lines, needs to be aligned

!indents

[unkempt canyon]

Indentation

Indentation is leading whitespace (spaces and tabs) at the beginning of a line of code. In the case of Python, they are used to determine the grouping of statements.

Spaces should be preferred over tabs. To be clear, this is in reference to the character itself, not the keys on a keyboard. Your editor/IDE should be configured to insert spaces when the TAB key is pressed. The amount of spaces should be a multiple of 4, except optionally in the case of continuation lines.

Example

def foo():
    bar = 'baz'  # indented one level
    if bar == 'baz':
        print('ham')  # indented two levels
    return bar  # indented one level

The first line is not indented. The next two lines are indented to be inside of the function definition. They will only run when the function is called. The fourth line is indented to be inside the if statement, and will only run if the if statement evaluates to True. The fifth and last line is like the 2nd and 3rd and will always run when the function is called. It effectively closes the if statement above as no more lines can be inside the if statement below that line.

Indentation is used after:
1. Compound statements (eg. if, while, for, try, with, def, class, and their counterparts)
2. Continuation lines

More Info
1. Indentation style guide
2. Tabs or Spaces?
3. Official docs on indentation

[slate swan]

Nope, not all

Everything needs to be at the third line

Can you send code, easier for me to show

Almost

The last two needs to be at the same level

Yep

Yep

How to get id of the person that clicked the button?

You have

    embed = discord.Embed(
        title="...",
        color=....
)
embed...
await...

You need

    embed = discord.Embed(
        title="...",
        color=....
    )
    embed...
    await...

Nope, they're one below

Right now there will be only embed = discord.Embed(...) executed if it goes in the if statement

The ) might confuse you and make you think it's aligned correctly

[slate swan]

interaction.author

Yep

oh ok thank

[slate swan]

Actually might be interaction.user if you're on discord 2.0, not sure anymore how they did it

Oh ok

I think interaction.author is disnake

nice

Oh yeah that's normal

The .format(...) goes at the end of your string

So like

x = "Blah {...}".format(...)

[sick birch]

Use f strings instead

[slate swan]

Should use f-strings though

!f-strings

[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.

[little ivy]

Who can help me, buttons dont work anymor after a certain amount of time

first they do, but after a restart or after 10 minutes they stop

[cloud dawn]

Pass None as timeout

I recommend using f strings as robin mentioned.

[little ivy]

I did

Let me show my code.

[cloud dawn]

Did you restart the bot?

[little ivy]

Yes

And saved script

[cloud dawn]

Yeah that's the problem

You restarted the bot.

!d discord.Client.add_view

[unkempt canyon]

discord.Client.add\_view

add_view(view, *, message_id=None)```
Registers a [`View`](https://discordpy.readthedocs.io/en/master/interactions/api.html#discord.ui.View "discord.ui.View") for persistent listening.

This method should be used for when a view is comprised of components
that last longer than the lifecycle of the program.

[slate swan]

how can i check if a user is already banned?

[little ivy]

oh okay thanks

[cloud dawn]

Just try to ban the user? Or doesn't that work?

[slate swan]

i’ve got a ban command and when i try to ban the user i want it to reply with like; "This user is already banned". But i’m not sure how to

[wispy solstice]

How can I hold the exception of forbidden?

[cloud dawn]

Just check if the user is in the guild or not

[slate swan]

I tried this but get_ban has no attribute```py
entry = await ctx.guild.get_ban(user)

if user in entry:
await ctx.reply("This user is already banned!")```

[cloud dawn]

Yeah just try to ban the user and catch the exception.

[slate swan]

how?

[cloud dawn]

!d discord.Guild.ban

[unkempt canyon]

discord.Guild.ban

await ban(user, *, reason=None, delete_message_days=1)```
This function is a [*coroutine*](https://docs.python.org/3/library/asyncio-task.html#coroutine).

Bans a user from the guild.

The user must meet the [`abc.Snowflake`](https://discordpy.readthedocs.io/en/master/api.html#discord.abc.Snowflake "discord.abc.Snowflake") abc.

You must have the [`ban_members`](https://discordpy.readthedocs.io/en/master/api.html#discord.Permissions.ban_members "discord.Permissions.ban_members") permission to
do this.

[slate swan]

yes yes i know that part

i’m asking how do i catch the exception

[cloud dawn]

!except

[unkempt canyon]

A key part of the Python philosophy is to ask for forgiveness, not permission. This means that it's okay to write code that may produce an error, as long as you specify how that error should be handled. Code written this way is readable and resilient.

try:
    number = int(user_input)
except ValueError:
    print("failed to convert user_input to a number. setting number to 0.")
    number = 0

You should always specify the exception type if it is possible to do so, and your try block should be as short as possible. Attempting to handle broad categories of unexpected exceptions can silently hide serious problems.

try:
    number = int(user_input)
    item = some_list[number]
except:
    print("An exception was raised, but we have no idea if it was a ValueError or an IndexError.")

For more information about exception handling, see the official Python docs, or watch Corey Schafer's video on exception handling.

[cloud dawn]

!d round

[unkempt canyon]

round

round(number[, ndigits])```
Return *number* rounded to *ndigits* precision after the decimal point. If *ndigits* is omitted or is `None`, it returns the nearest integer to its input.

For the built-in types supporting [`round()`](https://docs.python.org/3/library/functions.html#round "round"), values are rounded to the closest multiple of 10 to the power minus *ndigits*; if two multiples are equally close, rounding is done toward the even choice (so, for example, both `round(0.5)` and `round(-0.5)` are `0`, and `round(1.5)` is `2`). Any integer value is valid for *ndigits* (positive, zero, or negative). The return value is an integer if *ndigits* is omitted or `None`. Otherwise, the return value has the same type as *number*.

For a general Python object `number`, `round` delegates to `number.__round__`.

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.

[cloud dawn]

You can't mix f-string and format.

99/100 times choose f-strings

[slate swan]

try:
    entry = await ctx.guild.get_ban(user)
  except discord.NotFound:
      await ctx.reply("This user is already banned")
  return```
```discord.ext.commands.errors.CommandInvokeError: Command raised an exception: AttributeError: 'Guild' object has no attribute 'get_ban'```

[pliant gulch]

There is no get_ban, only fetch_ban

[slate swan]

In my discord bot, when i type a command it doesn't send a message but when i try ctrl + c it doesn't break out of the script, but sometimes it completely works fine i don't know why

[slate swan]

timeouts default value is None

[little ivy]

What should i make it then

[regal pulsar]

lol

why f strings and .format

value = f"X **Still on cooldown, please try again in {error.retry_after}s"

[fading marlin]

don't use f strings and .format on the same string

[cloud dawn]

It's 180

!d discord.ui.View

[unkempt canyon]

discord.ui.View

how hard is that 💀

[slate swan]

since when??????

[cloud dawn]

Since the beginning of time.

[slate swan]

i swear it was always None

[cloud dawn]

[regal pulsar]

well what is error.retry_after

[regal pulsar]

wait what

i thought it was none too 💀

nothing

delete it

[coarse dawn]

How do I install disnake to macOS?

Already tried that

[slate swan]

you are on a really old version of pip

read what it says ( yellow text)

You need to pass a cooldown duration to the decorator

[civic flower]

What is async?

[sick birch]

Normally, python runs your code line by line, and holds up the entire thread while waiting for something. This can be problematic from I/O tasks, such as waiting for a web server to respond, waiting for a database server to respond, etc

Async was created to solve this issue: while you're waiting for something to respond, you can go and do something else, and come back later when the server has responded

[civic flower]

Ah I see, that makes a lot of sense.

[sick birch]

discord.py greatly benifits from this because due to the way that Discord's Gateway API works, you have to send a heartbeat to the gateway every 45ish seconds letting it know you're still on the other end waiting. This is a problem, because your code would look something like this:

while True:
  send_heartbeat()
  time.sleep(45)

Which means your code would hang on that part, and it would never do anything else. With asynchronous code however, it can heartbeat, go do something else for 45 seconds, then come back and heartbeat, rinse & repeat

[civic flower]

Thank you so much, I understand it now.

[slate swan]

Hello Robin, can you help?

[sick birch]

Yup. It gets a lot more complex, so if this is interesting to you, I suggest you do some more research on it and try to understand how things such as the executor, event loop work, and differences between parallel computing and concurrency

[sick birch]

I'd like to try, yes

[civic flower]

kk, ill look into it. Ty

How to make it so that if the reason was not specified, then Отсутствует was not written at the end, and if the reason was specified, then this was entered into the database and the reason was shown in the chat. Help me plz.

[sick birch]

isn't that the same question @toxic thicket asked?

[slate swan]

._.

he wanted to help

[sick birch]

Doesn't look like it

I'm not sure what's going on here - why are 2 people asking for help on the same exact thing?

[slate swan]

Right now

[stone beacon]

That's a very good question

[sick birch]

Indeed it is

[cloud dawn]

Combined effort

[brave forge]

who knows if it's ok to use from discord.ext import menu ?

[brave forge]

a greater chance to get to the person who will help

@slate swan
I see you're Russian

@slate swan
don't throw Russian letters here at all, here they have a bad effect on people.

[brave forge]

how to make the message "hello word" deleted after clicking on any of the reactions?

[feral lichen]

why is this saying BotBase.add_cog was never awaited ```py
bot.add_cog(Greetings(bot))

[torn sail]

You need to await it

[feral lichen]

sends an error

[torn sail]

You may be looking at docs for 1.7.3

Load them in the setup_hook

[feral lichen]

??

i got it to work before perfectly fine idk what happened

[torn sail]

Subclass commands.Bot and define an async function named setup_hook and do stuff there

It was a recent change

[keen mural]

For my python bot, the timed mute commands i have tried all do not work, and I don't understand the methods used so I can't like do anything :/
Does anyone have a code I can look at or can help me at all?
basically i just need to understand how to get my code to understand time then min/sec/hour/day, then await that time period then do the action (for example giveaway or mute cmd)
smth like .gcreate 1min test prize or .gcreate 1 min prize here!
.mute @keen mural 1m bad or .mute @keen mural 1 min bad!!

[feral lichen]

send code

because most likely and no one will send open code for a mute command

i dont mind helping you since i do have a timed mute command

[keen mural]

(keep in mind this is prob ugly since i have no idea what im doing)

im just tryna get different time variables that the person states in the command then make it sleep for that long basically

also i prob messed up that code a lot

[feral lichen]

where are you implementing the time? like the int

oh

[keen mural]

idk what int means tbh 🥶
I could only make it work in seconds without any min sec hour etc things

[feral lichen]

int means integer, other known as a number.

[keen mural]

its in the cmd ig

[feral lichen]

did you make the code?

[keen mural]

like .gcreate 40min test

[keen mural]

i just like mix code from different tutorials like i said im new :/

[feral lichen]

ah

[keen mural]

which u can prob tell 😂

[feral lichen]

yea mix code will not work lmfao

[keen mural]

its more like taking things i know and using it but i dont know what i am doing here

[feral lichen]

holdup

well heres some help that arent python docs

[cloud dawn]

Giveaway bots aren't easy.

[keen mural]

yeah ik i made one in seconds but idk how to get it to understand minutes hours etc

[feral lichen]

holdup i asked you to send mute thingy and you sent giveaway code?

[keen mural]

its the same code

[feral lichen]

huh

[cloud dawn]

Even so, you need a database, schedular and handle the result.

[slate swan]

hello

[keen mural]

well im making it sleep till the given time is over then it picks a random reaction

[slate swan]

any idea on how to pinpoint latitude and longitude on a map using python ?

[brave forge]

Who wants to learn the best programming language for the English - speaking population ??

[cloud dawn]

That method means that if you restart the bot the giveaway won't work anymore.

[keen mural]

yeah im a beginner

[feral lichen]

from async def command(time) you can use this to understand s, m, h, m directly from my code. ```py
blahblahblah = {"s":1, "m":60, "h":3600, "d":86400, "w":604800, "mo":18144000, "y":31536000}
blah = int(time[:-1]) * blahblahblah[time[-1]]

[keen mural]

my first advanced cmd attempt

[brave forge]

@heady sluice @cloud dawnI have found the perfect programming language for you

[keen mural]

ok thx

but if i put (time) doesnt say the field is like unfulfilled when i do the cmd

[cloud dawn]

Yeah I recommend a converter, but that is a bit complex.

[feral lichen]

you need to put ctx, member: discord.Member, time, reason

if you want to use that you can but dont have to

[keen mural]

oh so just add on the others is what u mean

[feral lichen]

idk if i would want to use complex discord.py from a beginner level

[keen mural]

time is an argument in that

[cloud dawn]

Wizguy's method is a pretty solid one for beginners.

[feral lichen]

ig so

but from the basically i mixed other peoples code around into one thats really beginner

[keen mural]

ok so

blahblahblah = {"s":1, "m":60, "h":3600, "d":86400, "w":604800, "mo":18144000, "y":31536000}
blah = int(time[:-1]) * blahblahblah[time[-1]]
what would the blahblah be

💀

[feral lichen]

just a var

[keen mural]

so if i had
async def gcreate(ctx, args,*,prize=None):

[feral lichen]

why are you using args

[keen mural]

idk man idk what im doing

async def gcreate(ctx, time,*,prize=None):

is that better

[feral lichen]

well im not gonna spoonfeed much more but you need a member in commands arg, and blah is used to convert essentially. One last tip is use await.asyncio.sleep(desctime) when dont want muted anymore but gl

[keen mural]

ok ill try lol

thx for helping

[midnight gorge]

it works but doesn't create a channel

but it mentions the channel

[keen mural]

huh

[midnight gorge]

🤷

really weird...

it works only thing it doesn't make the channel

but somehow it mentions the channel

[feral lichen]

wtf

thats odd

[feral lichen]

did you ever do create_text_channel(channel) ?

or whatever it is

i dont see like it actually being made

[midnight gorge]

channel = await interaction.guild.create_text_channel(name=f"{interaction.user.name}-{interaction.user.discriminator}")

is it that?

[feral lichen]

yea but you have to create it

channel is just a variable im pretty sure just like that 💀

[midnight gorge]

so if do await interaction.guild.create_text_channel(name=f"{interaction.user.name}-{interaction.user.discriminator}")

Or

await guild.create_text_channel(name=f"{interaction.user.name}-{interaction.user.discriminator}")

i think it was like that on v1

[feral lichen]

idk man but you have to 'activate' the var lol

[midnight gorge]

ok

[feral lichen]

idk if that makes sense

[torn sail]

it should be created in this

[feral lichen]

pretty sure to set prms you just find the channel name

[midnight gorge]

i fixed it

thank you

also

Can it be done on a cog?

[torn sail]

pretty much everything will be the same in a cog

[wispy solstice]

Did the timeout added for discordpy?

[torn sail]

!d discord.Member.timeout

[unkempt canyon]

discord.Member.timeout

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

Applies a time out to a member until the specified date time or for the
given [`datetime.timedelta`](https://docs.python.org/3/library/datetime.html#datetime.timedelta "(in Python v3.10)").

You must have the [`moderate_members`](https://discordpy.readthedocs.io/en/master/api.html#discord.Permissions.moderate_members "discord.Permissions.moderate_members") permission to
use this...

[wispy solstice]

For some reason I didn't find it in docs but thanks

[keen mural]

hey do you know why im getting this error?

oh

unhashable type: slice

[jade tartan]

My cogs is not being loaded

How can I send more than one message with a command in 2.0

[fading marlin]

what version of dpy are you using?

[fading marlin]

you mean like using slash commands?

[sly hamlet]

Yes

[jade tartan]

3.10.4

Version

[fading marlin]

don't think you can, however I've not experimented enough with slash commands so I'm not so sure

[fading marlin]

dpy, not python version

[sick birch]

await ctx.send("message 1")
await ctx.send("message 2")

[sly hamlet]

You can't use CTX in slash commands

[sick birch]

Ah you're using slash commands

You should be able to get the channel and use channel.send() then

[jade tartan]

How do i know that?

[sly hamlet]

Ah yes I remember that now thank you

[fading marlin]

print out discord.version_info

or discord.__version__, either one works

[cloud dawn]

pip show discord.py

[jade tartan]

1.7.3 is my py version

[jade tartan]

^

[fading marlin]

are you getting any errors when trying to load them?

[jade tartan]

raise MissingRequiredArgument(param) discord.ext.commands.errors.MissingRequiredArgument: extension is a required argument that is missing.

Yes

I mean i want it to where when the code runs all the extension gets loaded

[timber tendon]

dude in my server muted my bot because it stopped working, I keep unmuting it but it still thinks it's muted

how tf do I fix this

[fading marlin]

the error is pretty self-explanatory, and if you want all cogs to get loaded on startup, don't add the load_extension inside a command

[fading marlin]

could you elaborate on what you mean by your bot being muted? are messages not being sent? are you getting any errors? are you using slash commands?

[cloud dawn]

Well what does that return?

[jade tartan]

So it would look like this?

[cloud dawn]

And what is this?

[sly hamlet]

I keep on getting channel is not assigned

[cloud dawn]

!d discord.ClientUser.created_at

[unkempt canyon]

discord.ClientUser.created\_at

property created_at```
Returns the user’s creation time in UTC.

This is when the user’s Discord account was created.

[cloud dawn]

returns datetime.datetime

[timber tendon]

Well they muted the bot (I'm assuming they used the default Discord red button mute) and now I just keep getting the

raise Forbidden(r, data)
discord.errors.Forbidden: 403 Forbidden (error code: 50013): Missing Permissions

error every single time I type a command.
Also no I'm not using slash commands

[cloud dawn]

It returns a datetime object.

!d datetime.datetime

[unkempt canyon]

datetime.datetime

class datetime.datetime(year, month, day, hour=0, minute=0, second=0, microsecond=0, tzinfo=None, *, fold=0)```
The *year*, *month* and *day* arguments are required. *tzinfo* may be `None`, or an instance of a [`tzinfo`](https://docs.python.org/3/library/datetime.html#datetime.tzinfo "datetime.tzinfo") subclass. The remaining arguments must be integers in the following ranges...

[iron sorrel]

time travel

[cloud dawn]

!d datetime.datetime.timestamp

[unkempt canyon]

datetime.datetime.timestamp

datetime.timestamp()```
Return POSIX timestamp corresponding to the [`datetime`](https://docs.python.org/3/library/datetime.html#datetime.datetime "datetime.datetime") instance. The return value is a [`float`](https://docs.python.org/3/library/functions.html#float "float") similar to that returned by [`time.time()`](https://docs.python.org/3/library/time.html#time.time "time.time").

Naive [`datetime`](https://docs.python.org/3/library/datetime.html#datetime.datetime "datetime.datetime") instances are assumed to represent local time and this method relies on the platform C `mktime()` function to perform the conversion. Since [`datetime`](https://docs.python.org/3/library/datetime.html#datetime.datetime "datetime.datetime") supports wider range of values than `mktime()` on many platforms, this method may raise [`OverflowError`](https://docs.python.org/3/library/exceptions.html#OverflowError "OverflowError") for times far in the past or far in the future.

For aware [`datetime`](https://docs.python.org/3/library/datetime.html#datetime.datetime "datetime.datetime") instances, the return value is computed as:

```py
(dt - datetime(1970, 1, 1, tzinfo=timezone.utc)).total_seconds()
```   New in version 3.3.

Changed in version 3.6: The [`timestamp()`](https://docs.python.org/3/library/datetime.html#datetime.datetime.timestamp "datetime.datetime.timestamp") method uses the [`fold`](https://docs.python.org/3/library/datetime.html#datetime.datetime.fold "datetime.datetime.fold") attribute to disambiguate the times during a repeated interval.

[iron sorrel]

did you know duck, you can send

[wide thunder]

can u suggest me a good discord api library that has slash cmds + a cheap hosting

[sick birch]

Hosting is not part of an API library

And I'd suggest discord.py which has been the de-facto

[jade tartan]

Nope it wont get loaded

[wide thunder]

i know

[jade tartan]

It just says my bot is online

[wide thunder]

i mean suggest me a cheap hosting

[iron sorrel]

disnake

[wide thunder]

for python

[timber tendon]

Ok my bot literally can't send any messages at all now even though I kicked it and readded it

[fading marlin]

if your bot's send_message perms got removed, then that'll probably be causing the issue

[iron sorrel]

but what do you mean cheap hosting

[sick birch]

#965291480992321536

[wide thunder]

alr

[timber tendon]

I just kicked and rekicked it and gave it the send message perm

[wide thunder]

thanks

[timber tendon]

k never mind it's fine now

[sly hamlet]

do i need to do channel = member.channel

[iron sorrel]

member does not have channel

[keen mural]

hey

@vocal girder

[sly hamlet]

So what do I need to do?

[iron sorrel]

technically they can if they name it ctx, but its going to be misleading as slash commands have interactions and not Contexts

[iron sorrel]

what do u want to do?

[sly hamlet]

I have a giveaway command but it sends multiple messages in one command though

[iron sorrel]

show ur code maybe someone will have an idea

[sly hamlet]

https://paste.pythondiscord.com/davatobola

[supple thorn]

Which of the messages are getting sent multiple times?

[sly hamlet]

None of them are getting sent multiple times it's just you can't use the reply feature which is what you use when sending the message multiple times

[hushed galleon]

after the first response you get a followup webhook you can use to send multiple messages

e.g. ```py
await interaction.response.send_message('hello world!')

any messages afterwards...

await interaction.followup.send('hello once more!', ephemeral=True)```

[sly hamlet]

https://paste.pythondiscord.com/olabunixul

?

[torn sail]

For the followups, it will be ephemeral if the response is ephemeral.

Followup will be same ephemeral as response

[sly hamlet]

If interaction.author does not exist what do I use instead?

[torn sail]

interaction.user

[sly hamlet]

Ok thx

[sly hamlet]

I keep on getting with this command that I did not mention a channel properly but I did and I do not understand why

[slate swan]

in some libs it does btw

i.e disnake has aliases for it so it can be author and user

[sly hamlet]

Yeah I know I fixed it and changed that issue now I'm running into a different one

[slate swan]

which error?

[sly hamlet]

Hear

[foggy sand]

Is it possible to make a discord bot that I text in dms to it then it sends an image to a channel?

[supple thorn]

Yes

[foggy sand]

Kk.

I tried but it won’t work

client.on("message", message => {
message.author.send("Please send a screenshot");
const collector = new Discord.MessageCollector(message.channel, m => m.author.id === message.author.id, {});
console.log(collector)
collector.on('collect', message => {
if (message.attachments.size > 0) {

    message.channel.send("You successfully sent a screenshot")
    console.log(`Collected ${message.content}`)
    client.channels.get(`628607857662623745`).send(message.content);

} else if (message.attachments.size < 0) {
    message.channel.send("you did not");

}   

})

[supple thorn]

That is discord.js

This is a python server

[foggy sand]

Oh forgot this is python sorry

[supple thorn]

https://discord.gg/djs

[foggy sand]

Oh thanks

[supple thorn]

Ask here

[sly hamlet]

I keep on getting with this command that I did not mention a channel properly but I did and I do not understand why

[torn sail]

!d discord.ext.commands.TextChannelConverter.convert

[unkempt canyon]

discord.ext.commands.TextChannelConverter.convert

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

The method to override to do conversion logic.

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

[torn sail]

You can do this await commands.TextChannelConverter().convert(ctx, “some arg here”)

[maiden fable]

You know

U can simply do channel: discord.TextChannel

[sly hamlet]

I don't even know what lines causing it it doesn't even give me an error

[sly hamlet]

Plus this is unsupported

[zenith basin]

How would I achive something like this

[regal pulsar]

js 💀

[slate swan]

when u r generating ur url select the identify scope

also guilds.join scope

[civic flower]

@client.command(aliases=['8ball'])
async def _8ball(ctx, *, question):
    responses = ["It is certain.",
    "It is decidedly so.",
    "Without a doubt.",
    "Yes - definitely.",
    "You may rely on it.",
    "As I see it, yes.",
    "Most likely.",
    "Outlook good.",
    "Yes.",
    "Signs point to yes.",
    "Reply hazy, try again.",
    "Ask again later.",
    "Better not tell you now.",
    "Cannot predict now.",
    "Concentrate and ask again.",
    "Don't count on it.",
    "My reply is no.",
    "My sources say no.",
    "Outlook not so good.",
    "Very doubtful."]
    
    await ctx.send(f'**Question:** {question}\n**Answer:** {random.choice(responses)}')

how would I make this send a different message if the user did not input a value for question

[hushed galleon]

well ive tested it, you can flip flop between normal and ephemeral messages regardless of the response

[zenith basin]

ok thx

[fading marlin]

add a default value to question and then check if the value changed or not

[civic flower]

I will try this, thank you.

[fallow thorn]

ight

[sly hamlet]

Does this work with interactions?

[hushed galleon]

you could handle the MissingRequiredArgument exception using a command error handler: ```py
@bot.command()
async def my_command(ctx, arg):
await ctx.send(f'you passed {arg}!')

@my_command.error
async def my_command_error(ctx, error):
if isinstance(error, commands.MissingRequiredArgument):
await ctx.send(f'please pass the parameter: {error.param.name}')
# error.param.name would give the name of the missing argument, i.e. "arg"
else:
# some other error happened that we need to print
raise error``` if its going to be a common response for many commands then a global error handler would be more suitable which you can read more about in the docs: https://discordpy.readthedocs.io/en/stable/ext/commands/commands.html#error-handling

[slate swan]

Is there any way to align my embed fields, although they're all inline?

[civic flower]

I will try this too, thank you.

[keen mural]

am missing 'coro'

[regal pulsar]

async def on_mute_error

[slate swan]

if you just tried running the bot you have to wait a while for it to update.

take there word for it. I'm not 100% sure

[regal pulsar]

also i dont think the error handler is the problem, check traceback

[keen mural]

doesnt work

[fading marlin]

commands.Bot already has its own tree, don't use both Client and Bot

[keen mural]

what do i do now :/

[regal pulsar]

no i meant @keen mural

[regal pulsar]

how many on_message events do you have

[keen mural]

i have 1, a snipe command that has caused problems in the past

you think thats a problem?

[regal pulsar]

no as long as its just one

does the error happen at runtime

[sly hamlet]

Can anyone else help me on this

[regal pulsar]

or when you run the mute command

[keen mural]

when i try to start

doesnt start

[regal pulsar]

then its not a command related issue

[keen mural]

is this the problem?

[regal pulsar]

something that happens at runtime

nah thats fine

[keen mural]

ok

is it smth about isinstance

reposting it

[fading marlin]

you're probably doing something like this right?

import discord
from discord.ext import commands
bot = commands.Bot(...)
app_commands = discord.app_commands.CommandTree(bot)

[hot cobalt]

The traceback will tell you where the issue is

[regal pulsar]

isinstance just checks if the first argument is an instance of the second

[hot cobalt]

So perhaps have a look at that

[regal pulsar]

^

[regal pulsar]

oh

[keen mural]

idk what most recent call last means

[hot cobalt]

Seems like mute.error() expects an arg

[regal pulsar]

no wonder

remove the brackets

its just @mute.error

[keen mural]

youtube tutorial did me dirty 😭

[regal pulsar]

lol

[keen mural]

thanks so much now my bot will hopefully no longer get banned from too many errors

[hot cobalt]

Your error handling is a little weird

You're returning in every condition for some reason, rather than using elif's

[fading marlin]

yeah, as I said, bot already has it's own tree, so you can just do bot.tree. That'll be your new tree var

!d discord.ext.commands.Bot.tree

[unkempt canyon]

discord.ext.commands.Bot.tree

property tree```
The command tree responsible for handling the application commands
in this bot.

New in version 2.0.

[keen mural]

what do e lifts do even

ik its like a different if

[regal pulsar]

what is bot.tree

[hot cobalt]

An elif will run if all conditions above it are False and its condition is True

[regal pulsar]

never used it

[regal pulsar]

yeah

[keen mural]

oh

[regal pulsar]

not according to my cs teacher this year though 💀

[hot cobalt]

So you should be doing ```py
if isinstance(...):
...
elif isinstance(...):
...
else:
...

[keen mural]

thats helpful 😢

[hot cobalt]

And don't return in every condition since it would be redundant if you use elif

[fading marlin]

it's kinda like discord.app_commands.CommandTree, but instead of using discord.Client, you use commands.Bot and you don't pass your bot var to the CommandTree

[regal pulsar]

what kind of tutorial were you watching lol

[keen mural]

it all makes sense now

[regal pulsar]

i see

[keen mural]

idek i think i just copied some kids code on an unrelated video from a year or two ago

[regal pulsar]

lol

read the docs

very helpful

[keen mural]

docs?

[hot cobalt]

There aren't many discord.py resources that are any good, which is another reason why it's really not a beginner friendly lib

[undone tulip]

https://paste.pythondiscord.com/igiziwecic

how to fix?

[regal pulsar]

oh

i learnt it from just the docs

[hot cobalt]

Yeah, but beginners don't know how to read docs 👀

[keen mural]

uh

[fading marlin]

can relate 😔

[regal pulsar]

i started learning d.py 3 weeks after i started learning python ;)

i basically learnt how to read docs from that

[undone tulip]

...

[hot cobalt]

You've got self as an arg for some reason

This isn't in a class

[regal pulsar]

the guy in the vid was probably using cogs

[keen mural]

yeah idk why self was in there

[regal pulsar]

https://pypi.org/project/pyinstaller/

[keen mural]

doesnt self make the bot like recognize itself or something

[hot cobalt]

Chances are whatever you were watching defined the function in a class

[hot cobalt]

In the context of a class, kinda

[regal pulsar]

its the first required argument in cogs

[undone tulip]

I already installed and still the same error

[regal pulsar]

it represents the instance

[torn sail]

oh i didnt know that. thats interesting

[keen mural]

yes i understand

if i wanna add more examples of each one would i have to do the seconds to it too

i dont even know what im asking ill be right back and test

[regal pulsar]

lemme find my old mute command

[regal pulsar]

💀

[keen mural]

this was what i was talking about, adding some things but it dont work

im guessing cuz the code on the last line?

smth about the -1

[torn sail]

well -1 gets the last character in the string so only s, m, h, w and d would work

[keen mural]

could i use if and elif with different minus amounts each time? or

[slate swan]

How can I display the bots avatar in the embed title?

[keen mural]

through an emoji

idk 💀

[slate swan]

no theres a built in way, I just forgot how

[keen mural]

do you remember anything about it

[torn sail]

!d discord.Embed.set_author

[unkempt canyon]

discord.Embed.set\_author

set_author(*, name, url=None, icon_url=None)```
Sets the author for the embed content.

This function returns the class instance to allow for fluent-style
chaining.

[torn sail]

icon_url

[keen mural]

that never works ong

[keen mural]

@torn sail u think i could?

[torn sail]

im not sure waht you mean

[slate swan]

embed.set_author(name="title", icon_url=ctx.author.avatar_url)
?

[torn sail]

you could use a regex

[slate swan]

Ye it should work

[torn sail]

the bots avatar or the authors?

[slate swan]

the bots avatar.

[torn sail]

then ctx.author.avatar_url should be bot.user.avatar_url

[slate swan]

How can I add space between my embed footer?

[keen mural]

wdym

[slate swan]

basically a new line

[keen mural]

\n

[slate swan]

doesn't work

[keen mural]

footer is one line only

if thats what ur talking about

[slate swan]

embed stuff
footer is here

I want it to be like

embed stuff

footer is here

[keen mural]

maybe

use add field

[slate swan]

then the text wont be small like the footer.

[keen mural]

?

¯_(ツ)_/¯

[slate swan]

dont provide invalid help lmao

[keen mural]

try \n then an invisible character or smth idk

[keen mural]

hey nobody else is here im just tryna help

[supple thorn]

Wdym small

[slate swan]

nvm.

[keen mural]

If i was doing

  mutetime = int(time[:-1]) * validation[time[-1]]```
how would i add longer validations?

[slate swan]

Can you not bold footer text?

[regal pulsar]

!d discord.Embed.set_author

[unkempt canyon]

discord.Embed.set\_author

set_author(*, name, url=None, icon_url=None)```
Sets the author for the embed content.

This function returns the class instance to allow for fluent-style
chaining.

[keen mural]

u cant

u cant mention ppl either

[supple thorn]

Maybe you can

[regal pulsar]

sure you can

[slate swan]

how so

[regal pulsar]

** **

[supple thorn]

What

[supple thorn]

Yeah

[slate swan]

it just sends the footer literally with the asterisks

[regal pulsar]

oh

[hushed galleon]

footer doesnt support any markdown

[supple thorn]

Really?

[regal pulsar]

maybe you cant 💀

[keen mural]

If i was doing

  mutetime = int(time[:-1]) * validation[time[-1]]```
how would i add longer validations?

[supple thorn]

Sadge

[keen mural]

like secs seconds etc

instead of just s

might as well copy and paste the entire command

[supple thorn]

Add them in the dict?

[keen mural]

but mutetime = int(time[:-1]) * validation[time[-1]]

-1 thingy

so if it was longed

there would still be text instead of just numbers

and that messes it up to my understanding

[slate swan]

is there any way I could add more space between my embed fields and footer?

[regal pulsar]

just make another field with seconds

validation = {"s":1, "m":60, "h":3600, "d":86400, "w":604800, "seconds":1}

[keen mural]

i tried that

[slate swan]

Hi

[keen mural]

but the second line of code only subtracts 1 letter

[regal pulsar]

hey

[slate swan]

What's the problem

[keen mural]

or whatever

[slate swan]

I want to know if theres any way I could add more space between my embed fields and footer

[keen mural]

If i was doing

  mutetime = int(time[:-1]) * validation[time[-1]]```
how would i add longer validations?

like secs seconds etc
instead of just s

[slate swan]

/n

[slate swan]

tried this but it didn't work

Show code

[keen mural]

take a screenshot of you using it

[slate swan]

wait nvm Im dumb

[keen mural]

sparky do u know

[slate swan]

Wait

U mean alias?

[keen mural]

not alias for the cmd

[regal pulsar]

no

its for his dict

[keen mural]

its a mute command and that determines the time

[slate swan]

Ye alias for dict

[keen mural]

i mean

[slate swan]

so u can use s sec sond

[keen mural]

how do i do that

[slate swan]

embed.add_field(name="``help``", value="sends this help message\n\n", inline=True)
embed.set_footer(text="Contact y9su#8009 for further help or if you find any bugs")

this isnt adding the newlines

Try adding a text or emoji at last

After n

[hushed galleon]

that error line seems unusual but its hard to tell without the full traceback, however it may be related to incorrectly using the @bot.tree.command decorator in your group rather than the generic @app_commands.command deco that Group looks for

[keen mural]

invisible emoji

[slate swan]

Ye something like that

[keen mural]

anyway sparky how do i add aliases

[slate swan]

Wait

[hushed galleon]

ah okay

[slate swan]

I'll send code

[keen mural]

for aliases?

[slate swan]

um try a list maybe

[keen mural]

hmm ok

like s = [
'sec',
'second'
]

or something

[regal pulsar]

async def parse_time(time: str, function=None, next_function=None, parsekey: str=None):

        await next_function()

try this

[hushed galleon]

oh can you paste the full traceback then?

[regal pulsar]

just do

[keen mural]

do i just paste it in after the code

[slate swan]

Don't sleep

[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.

[keen mural]

i have 3 iq can you elaborate

[regal pulsar]

@bot.command()
async def mute(ctx, member, time):
    async def check1():
        role = discord.utils.get(ctx.guild.roles, name="muted")
        await member.add_roles(role)
    async def check2():
        role = discord.utils.get(ctx.guild.roles, name="muted")
        await member.remove_roles(role)
    await parse_time(time, function=check1, next_function=check2, parsekey="s")

@keen mural

[slate swan]

Bro

He dont mean that

[regal pulsar]

maybe i should try with decorators

[slate swan]

ig

[keen mural]

??

[hushed galleon]

ohh you're missing the self parameter at the start of the function

[regal pulsar]

i know

[slate swan]

then?

[regal pulsar]

he can use this instead

class ParsekeyNotInString(Exception):
    pass


class StringParseError(Exception):
    pass


async def parse_time(time: str, function=None, next_function=None, parsekey: str = None):
    import asyncio

    if parsekey in time:
        time = time.replace(parsekey, "")
        try:
            time = int(time)
        except ValueError:
            raise StringParseError("Resulting string after removing the parsekey was not an integer/float")
        await function
        await asyncio.sleep(time)
        await next_function()
    else:
        raise ParsekeyNotInString(f'The gives parsekey "{parsekey}" was not found in the given string "{time}"')

@slate swan

[slate swan]

ParseKeyNotInString should be called KeyNotFound or StringKeyNotFound and it should be the subclass of the StringParseError exception, as it would make more sense since the super class would be the base/general exception and then the subclass would be the specific error

[regal pulsar]

oh ye

smart

wait what string parse error

that isnt defined

is it from an import

[slate swan]

the exception you made?

[keen mural]

you think i can make this work?

[regal pulsar]

oh yeah

🤦‍♂️

i just saved like 100 lines of code with this

[keen mural]

could i make the code detect letters and subtract the amount of letters

[regal pulsar]

what

[sly hamlet]

    async def start_loop():
        await self.api.start_loop()
        print("Post Count")

    async def main():
        asyncio.create_task(start_loop(bot))

    
    asyncio.run(main())``` ```py
RuntimeError: asyncio.run() cannot be called from a running event loop``` I seem to keep on getting this error and I can't exactly seem to figure out how to fix it can someone help?

[sick birch]

Looks like your asyncio.run() is indented - where's it nested in?

[sly hamlet]

nested?

[sick birch]

Yes - is your asyncio.run() top level?

Or is it nested within a class or method?

[sick birch]

By this I mean it should be the very last line in your code, and it should also not have any spaces preceeding it

[sly hamlet]

https://paste.pythondiscord.com/ocesodinuv

that is the file

[sick birch]

Ah, it's inside your class

asyncio.run() should be the main entry point to your code

[regal pulsar]

asyncio.run has to be at the bottom, outside the class

[zenith basin]

https://stackoverflow.com/questions/72107563/how-do-i-refresh-discord-oauth2-token-in-python

[regal pulsar]

iirc

[sick birch]

Persisting the access token inside of a database is a very bad idea, unless you're using like JWTs or something else to encrypt it

Also because access tokens expire and there's not much you can do about it

That's why they provide you with an expires_in field so you can anticipate its expiry and generate a new one using your refresh token

[zenith basin]

Ya

Thats what I am doing

[sly hamlet]

So put it up at the top of the class outside of everything?

[sick birch]

It should also be in your main file, not in a cog

Don't think of asyncio.run() as a way to run any coro without awaiting it

Or a "get out of awaiting a coro free card"

[zenith basin]

How would I refresh the token with out making the user input anything

[sick birch]

You'd need to somehow schedule a task in expires_in to refresh it

[sly hamlet]

Moving it to the main file just says it's not defined

[sick birch]

Or, whenever you need to use it, you can check if it's a valid access token, and if it's not, you can get a new one using the refresh token

[sick birch]

what's not defined?

[sly hamlet]

It says main is not defined

When moving it to the main file

[sick birch]

Yeah, you need a main function

[zenith basin]

try:
    r = exchange_code("8xaVc3klYCFEZfdjdYyGaXsp4MmqNX")
    code = r["access_token"]
except Exception as e:
    code = refresh_token(r["refresh_token"])

like this??

[sick birch]

Sure, if you get a non-200 status code that means it's an invalid code

[sly hamlet]

Thought I had that I'm a bit confused now

[zenith basin]

The only problem is how would I access r because it is defined in try

[sick birch]

Your main() function can look like this:

async def main():
  try:
    await bot.start()
  finally:
    # cleanup tasks here
asyncio.run(main())

[sick birch]

Good point

You'd need to figure out how to get that

[zenith basin]

mabye I could save and when I need it

[sick birch]

Yeah, that's a good idea

Take due precautions like you would

[zenith basin]

ya

will use hasing

[sly hamlet]

Do I just need to move everything in that one file over to the main file?

[zenith basin]

or encryption

[sick birch]

You're using asyncio.run() to start a loop which is NOT its intended purpose

It's meant to kickstart your ENTIRE bot file, not just a task

[sly hamlet]

So from my understanding I need to move everything from my API file over to my main start file and use create task inside of my main function which starts my bot

[sick birch]

Not necessarily

You can start your tasks inside setup()

And remove your main() and asyncio.run(main())

[sly hamlet]

I'm just all get out confused right now

async def start_loop():
        await self.api.start_loop()
        print("Post Count")

    start_loop()``` this?

[sly hamlet]

^^^^^^^^^^^^

[sick birch]

async def setup(bot):
    cog = DiscordListsPosts(bot)
    await bot.add_cog(cog)
    await cog.start_loop()

[slate swan]

Or use on_ready

[spring flax]

yes, there should be

[sick birch]

I wouldn't do anything in on_ready except printing

[slate swan]

uh why

[sick birch]

It's unpredictable, and can get called multiple times. It's also not guaranteed to be the first event called

That's why it's generally discouraged to do anything in on_ready

[slate swan]

Okay I'll remember it

[civic flower]

 async def status(self, ctx, member:discord.Member):
        print(member.status)
        if member.status == online:
            await ctx.send(f'{member} is online!')
        else:
            await ctx.send('You are not online.')

I am running into an issue where I want member.status to send a message only if it returns online, but I am not sure what to put after the member.status ==
I tried putting just online but it didnt work.

*edit: I was being dumb and didn't use the class. I resolved my issue by using discord.Status.online instead of just online. *

[slate swan]

!d discord.Member.status

[unkempt canyon]

discord.Member.status

property status```
The member’s overall status. If the value is unknown, then it will be a [`str`](https://docs.python.org/3/library/stdtypes.html#str "(in Python v3.10)") instead.

[sly hamlet]

So put that underneath start loop? Or main file?

[slate swan]

Wdym?

Show code

[sly hamlet]

You would have to read the entire conversation to see what I'm talking about

[slate swan]

U want a loop right

[sly hamlet]

yes

[slate swan]

Show code where r now

[sly hamlet]

async def start_loop():
        await self.api.start_loop()
        print("Post Count")

    async def setup(bot):
        cog = DiscordListsPosts(bot)
        await bot.add_cog(cog)
        await cog.start_loop()```

[slate swan]

Do u have a setup hook?

I mean

REMOVE start loop from start loop function

And put it in the setup

um

And

use tasks.loop

[sly hamlet]

whare

[sick birch]

In your setup() in your cog file

[midnight gorge]

what is guild splash?

[sly hamlet]

    async def start_loop():
        await self.api.setup()
        print("Post Count")


async def setup(bot):
    cog = DiscordListsPosts(bot)
    await bot.add_cog(cog)
    await cog.start_loop()
    await bot.add_cog(DiscordListsPost(bot))```

[sly hamlet]

Do I have it right now?

[sly hamlet]

Anybody else know if I got this correct

[stone beacon]

No

[dull terrace]

i think my class attributes are getting too long

[stone beacon]

No async setup

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

Etc

[zenith mural]

``` im getting this error, can someone please help

[heady sluice]

he might be on the newest version

[sly hamlet]

I'm confused because I thought that's what they wanted me to do is what I have in there

[stone beacon]

Since when is setup() async

[heady sluice]

slash commands have interaction, not context

[heady sluice]

newest version!

[stone beacon]

That's called before the bot is even loaded

Well damn

[zenith mural]

so what do i change ctx: to?

[stone beacon]

Imma look into that

[sly hamlet]

So what do I need to do?

[heady sluice]

not sure

I think discord.MessageInteraction

[zenith mural]

alr

[heady sluice]

!d discord.MessageInteraction

[unkempt canyon]

discord.MessageInteraction

class discord.MessageInteraction```
Represents the interaction that a [`Message`](https://discordpy.readthedocs.io/en/master/api.html#discord.Message "discord.Message") is a response to.

New in version 2.0.

x == y Checks if two message interactions are equal.

x != y Checks if two message interactions are not equal.

hash(x) Returns the message interaction’s hash.

[zenith mural]

im using disnake, is it the same method?

[heady sluice]

I hope so

[sly hamlet]

So what do I need to do?

[heady sluice]

last line bad

[sly hamlet]

how do i fix it?

[heady sluice]

remove it

you add the cog twice

I did what sparky told me to do earlier on this one which is why I'm a bit confused when I read this one

[heady sluice]

I don't know what y'all mean by self.api

[sly hamlet]

Has to do with a library

[heady sluice]

and what do you want to setup on it

!discord.ext.commands.Cog.api

doesn't even exist?

[paper sluice]

(it doesn't)

[heady sluice]

(ok)

[sly hamlet]

my code https://paste.pythondiscord.com/evoboliyux

[paper sluice]

        await self.api.setup()

self.api doesn't exist, what are you trying to do?

[heady sluice]

he defined it

but like how

what does discordlists look like

[paper sluice]

tf is discordlists

[sly hamlet]

Api library

[heady sluice]

na no way

[paper sluice]

https://discordlist.me

[sly hamlet]

Don't know what that is

https://botblock.org/docs/libraries#botblock-discordlists-py

That's what I've been trying to refer to

[heady sluice]

sh I just got to school bye

[paper sluice]

well it doesn't have a method called setup then...

[sly hamlet]

I was just doing what I was told to do

[sly hamlet]

so this then ```py

await self.api.start_loop()
print("Post Count")

async def setup(bot):
cog = DiscordListsPost(bot)
await bot.add_cog(cog)
await cog.start_loop()```

i guess, run it and see

Can someone help me I’m having a hard time figuring out on
“How to get notified when someone updates their GitHub, through webhook on my of my channels”

Just can’t find anywhere

[sly hamlet]

what i have right now https://paste.pythondiscord.com/acufamanef

[paper sluice]

    def start_loop(self):
        """
        Start a loop that automatically updates the server/guild count for the bot
        """
        self.bot.loop.create_task(self.__loop(self.interval))

start_loop is a sync function, so i dont think u need await for it

[quaint epoch]

[sly hamlet]

so py async def start_loop(self): self.api.start_loop() self.bot.loop.create_task(self.__loop(self.interval)) print("Post Count")

[paper sluice]

no no no, thats the source code, dont copy that lmao

[sly hamlet]

oop

[paper sluice]

        self.bot.loop.create_task(self.__loop(self.interval))

remove that

[sly hamlet]

So just remove await

??

[paper sluice]

ya

[sly hamlet]

[stiff gorge]

wht should i import to use buttons ?

[maiden fable]

ui

!d discord.ui.button

[unkempt canyon]

discord.ui.button

discord.ui.button(*, label=None, custom_id=None, disabled=False, style=<ButtonStyle.secondary: 2>, emoji=None, row=None)```
A decorator that attaches a button to a component.

The function being decorated should have three parameters, `self` representing the [`discord.ui.View`](https://discordpy.readthedocs.io/en/master/interactions/api.html#discord.ui.View "discord.ui.View"), the [`discord.Interaction`](https://discordpy.readthedocs.io/en/master/interactions/api.html#discord.Interaction "discord.Interaction") you receive and the [`discord.ui.Button`](https://discordpy.readthedocs.io/en/master/interactions/api.html#discord.ui.Button "discord.ui.Button") being pressed.

Note

Buttons with a URL cannot be created with this function. Consider creating a [`Button`](https://discordpy.readthedocs.io/en/master/interactions/api.html#discord.ui.Button "discord.ui.Button") manually instead. This is because buttons with a URL do not have a callback associated with them since Discord does not do any processing with it.

[slate swan]

um how can i get embed from msg object?

[tough lance]

!d discord.Message.embeds

[unkempt canyon]

discord.Message.embeds

A list of embeds the message has.

[slate swan]

thanks :D

[tough lance]

Np

[warped mirage]

guys i have a cog folder so everything was working fine until i added a leveling system its crashing and giving errors for quite a bit of my code

anyone has some time to help me fix after

[strong vessel]

how is it possible for a bot to have permission to read and send messages on a server but get the forbidden error on it when trying to send message? what permission do i need to check

right now i use message.channel.permissions_for(message.guild.me).read_messages and message.channel.permissions_for(message.guild.me).send_messages but somehow its not enough

[spring flax]

maybe you're trying to send an embed.

[strong vessel]

no embed

just text

[spring flax]

send the full traceback

[strong vessel]

Ignoring exception in on_message
Traceback (most recent call last):

    raise Forbidden(r, data)

[slate swan]

how can i get title

[spring flax]

message.embeds[0].title

[tough lance]

^

[spring flax]

!d discord.Embed.title

[unkempt canyon]

discord.Embed.title

The title of the embed.
This can be set during initialisation.
Can only be up to 256 characters.

[slate swan]

i tried printing items but it didnt print

[spring flax]

message.embeds returns a list of embeds, and indexing to 0 gets the first embed

for example:

[slate swan]

ohkay now i understand

[spring flax]

!e ```py
x = [1, 2, 3, 4]
print(x[0])

[unkempt canyon]

@spring flax :white_check_mark: Your eval job has completed with return code 0.

1

[slate swan]

i thought it only return one embed

[slate swan]

nvmd

[spring flax]

and the code?

[strong vessel]

async def on_message(message):
    if (message.channel.permissions_for(message.guild.me).read_messages and message.channel.permissions_for(message.guild.me).send_messages):
        response = "sample text"
        await message.channel.send(response)

i tried using a test bot, to check the behavior, and i wasn't able to replicate this forbidden error

i could only replicate the forbidden error by removing the permission check in my code

[spring flax]

you can probably just use ```py
async def on_message(message):
try:
response = "sample text"
await message.channel.send(response)
except discord.Forbidden:
return

[strong vessel]

i could but i don't want to process the message

[spring flax]

not sure tbh

[strong vessel]

ideally i could check for some permission instead

[spring flax]

is the traceback you posted the full one?

yes

[spring flax]

you used Button in your code but didn't define it

[strong vessel]

it's identical to what i would get if i didn't do the permission check for send message, then added the bot to some server channel where it could read the messages but not allowed to send messages

i don't think you can give *args as argument in a command, you can add have *, variable and that variable will take the whole string you pass in it

how to give role

[placid skiff]

@commands
async def test(ctx, *, message):
  await ctx.send(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.

[loud junco]

thanks

but how do i give someone role

pls help

i have a down down menu and a list how can i add items in the down menu with list

[azure jackal]

I'm trying to do something a little weird. I have a dictionary who's values are lists. Those lists are greater than 25 items long so I created a function that creates a new list and splits them up into 25 item long lists and adds them to a new dictionary. I want the user to use .menu, select a key from that new dictionary, and then send out buttons for every item in that key's value (which is a list). I think I have to use defers to accomplish this. Can anyone point to an example of something similar?
