I haven't use sql stuff for a while but try these 2 things:

1. don't commit on every loop (put it after the loop instead)
2. don't use f-string for the query, use the query parameter

but I have no guarantee that it will work

[honest shoal]

nope, you cannot do that message.content there. bumpreminder is the name of command there

[swift pumice]

okay

[hot basin]

It didnt work

[swift pumice]

hi guys i have a problem: /home/container/bot.py:718: RuntimeWarning: coroutine 'sleep' was never awaited
asyncio.sleep(10)
RuntimeWarning: Enable tracemalloc to get the object allocation traceback

my code

async def bumpremindme(ctx):
    await ctx.send("ok")
    asyncio.sleep(10)
    channel = bot.get_channel(992511703155740712)
    await channel.send(f'{ctx.author.mention}bump again 🤢')```

[slate swan]

It's coroutine

asyncio.sleep
await it

await asyncio.sleep()

[slate swan]

Hey ash 👋

took me 10 seconds to determine the right spellings for asyncio

[swift pumice]

ok

[slate swan]

Hi Sparky

my auto correct change that asyncio to Asuncion

[swift pumice]

thanks

[slender stirrup]

how can i add description to slash command parameters description?

[slate swan]

Bro what the

[slate swan]

which lib?

[slender stirrup]

discord.py

installed from github not pypi

[slate swan]

you have to specify a guild

use ctx.guild

Also ur for loop

[slate swan]

https://gist.github.com/Ash-02014/b6f57065f394b54f43666037ade38d32#a-common-function-used-for-slash-commands-is-the-describe-function-this-is-used-to-add-descriptions-to-the-arguments-of-a-slash-command-the-command-function-can-decorated-with-this-function-it-goes-by-the-following-syntax-as-shown-below

print([channel.name for channel in ctx.guild.channels])

[vocal snow]

!d discord.app_commands.describe

[unkempt canyon]

discord.app\_commands.describe

@discord.app_commands.describe(**parameters)```
Describes the given parameters by their name using the key of the keyword argument as the name.

Example:

```py
@app_commands.command()
@app_commands.describe(member='the member to ban')
async def ban(interaction: discord.Interaction, member: discord.Member):
    await interaction.response.send_message(f'Banned {member}')

[robust fulcrum]

I have no idea how to get these things

[slate swan]

you cant get them, you make them

[swift pumice]

hi zeffo

[vocal snow]

Hello

[robust fulcrum]

I have no idea

[slate swan]

Well u get an idea

nice

[robust fulcrum]

Hmmm

Ig i need database?

[slate swan]

Like check recent message of the guild add some checks everytime and all

It's easy

[robust fulcrum]

Hmm not related to active channel tho

[slate swan]

channel = bot.get_channel(989514935459540992)
is there a way to use channel names instead of id's

[slender stirrup]

i use command tree

[slate swan]

It's related to that only

[slender stirrup]

@tree.command(guild=discord.Object(id=guild_id), name="roll", description="Rolling Dice")
async def roll(interaction: discord.Interaction, dice:app_commands.Range[int, 1, None]=10):
    await interaction.response.send_message(f"{random.randint(1, dice)}")

[paper sluice]

its better to use id but you can use discord.utils.get to get it using the name

[robust fulcrum]

Hard

[vocal snow]

Shouldn't matter

[slender stirrup]

tree dont have describe method

[slate swan]

Alr I'll make one

[hot basin]

I just realised that when guild ids get into the mysql get changed into a wrong number

@client.command()
async def insertTables(ctx):
    for guildid in client.guilds:
        print("befor inserting")
        servid = guildid.id
        print(servid)
        #here in console it prints id correctly
        await ctx.send(servid)
        #in discord send id and they are unique and correct
        cur.execute(f"INSERT INTO Servers(serverid,sub,subdate) VALUES({servid},0,CURDATE());") 
        #get changed and saved into db
        conn.commit()
        print("done") ```
anyone knows what is happening i dont event encrypt it and  i dont why is it changing in db

[vocal snow]

I know, the app_commands.describe decorator should work

[shrewd apex]

oof global

[slender stirrup]

yes it works thank u , i love u

[robust fulcrum]

No that's bad for me
I would not be able to learn

[winter gull]

how do we create threads using discord.py?

[slate swan]

I mean I take that as a challange

[vocal snow]

!d discord.Message.create_thread

[unkempt canyon]

discord.Message.create\_thread

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

Creates a public thread from this message.

You must have [`create_public_threads`](https://discordpy.readthedocs.io/en/latest/api.html#discord.Permissions.create_public_threads "discord.Permissions.create_public_threads") in order to create a public thread from a message.

The channel this message belongs in must be a [`TextChannel`](https://discordpy.readthedocs.io/en/latest/api.html#discord.TextChannel "discord.TextChannel").

New in version 2.0.

[paper sluice]

iterate over the list

which channel do you want?

[visual island]

has it been resolved?

[slate swan]

how??

[vocal snow]

you can just call bot.get_channel in the list comp

[paper sluice]

why do you have a list in the first place, which channel do you want to get?

[slate swan]

That iteration makes no sense, you have a list of channel objects which you are using to get a list of IDs of channel objects, and then convert it to a list of channel objects again????

If you want a specific channel use get_channel or ulilts.get straight

[slender stirrup]

can i add subcommand to @tree.command

[slate swan]

There's a class called command group or something in dpy for slash group commands

[gaunt mortar]

Hello, I currently got an issue :
After someone submit a modal, I want to send a DM to an user from his ID, so I need to retrieve it with client.get_user
My issue is, by doing this I'm getting error due to circular import (client trying to load cogs, cogs are using custom buttons that load my modal, which needs client..)

I guess I'm doing something wrong how can I handle this? Thanks for any help 🙂

[slate swan]

https://discordpy.readthedocs.io/en/latest/interactions/api.html#appcommandgroup @slender stirrup

[slender stirrup]

as i mentioned i use commantTree

can work with tree?

[slate swan]

You can pass the client object in modal's init or set it as an attribute of the modal

[visual island]

your client (or bot) object can be retrieved from discord.Interaction.client from on_submit function

[slate swan]

Ofcourse

[slender stirrup]

is there any example

[slate swan]

Check the channel pins, I think there's an example in the gist

[gaunt mortar]

Damn, I missed this I'm dumb xD
thanks

[slate swan]

Uwu group 💀

[paper sluice]

lol

[slender stirrup]

yes i saw it but i want to implement it to tree

bu i don't use any

classes or cogs

it looks to i have to use cogs

[slate swan]

no you dont, just refer to the link ryuga sent and remove self from the command functions, will work fine

[warped mirage]

@client.tree.command(description="Ban a user")

[smoky marsh]

Guys, what is _pycache_

[warped mirage]

its normal dw about it , when u use python it just adds some cache

[smoky marsh]

Okay, thanks

[warped mirage]

np

[cloud dawn]

Catch the missing required argument in an error handler.

[smoky marsh]

Understandable

[paper sluice]

in a slash command, it doesn't let you to run the command without entering the parameters

[slate swan]

in sqlite db table, i have 3 users with some data on them. But i have for loop. Is there a way to make the bot not to spam?

this is my structure

Eventually append to a string and output as embed description/field depending on the layout you want

[cloud dawn]

Just have them under eachother using fields

[slate swan]

for i in data:
  embed = discord.Embed(
    description = f"..."
  )
  embed.add_field...
  await ctx.send(embed=embed)```

[slate swan]

this what i try to make

[cloud dawn]

Do recommend keeping in mind the field limits

[slate swan]

Put embed = and ctx.send outside of your loop

[cloud dawn]

And the send under the for

[slate swan]

soo

for i in data:
  .....
await ctx.send(embed=embed)```

And embed = before the loop

Like the embed = discord.Embed thingy

oh

ok, so i should add this above the loop

correct

let me check it

[warped mirage]

im also making it as a prefix

what should i do

[slate swan]

https://discordpy.readthedocs.io/en/stable/ext/commands/commands.html#error-handling

@slate swan a problem.... :\

embed = discord.Embed()
for i in data:
  embed.add_field(...)
  embed.add_field(...)
await ctx.send(embed=embed)```

Right ?

I guess

[cloud dawn]

One field is enough

[slate swan]

no

but i have staff name and staff hours

[cloud dawn]

Just use the title kwarg as well

[slate swan]

Unless they shrink name and hours of the staff member together

let me send screenshot

that what im talking about

and i try to make list, you know

yeah you gotta make some cleaner list

something like Name / Hours or similar

I try to make something like

Staff Name: Staff Hours:
(mention all users from the table) (send data from table)

Yeah as i said

gotta make the list differently

[tepid sundial]

Cna i creat / command whit python bot?

[slate swan]

ok with fields and for loop is this possible?

no

[tepid sundial]

I persian

[slate swan]

it will never look the same

so you can't really do it

[tepid sundial]

If me bad talking

Sry

[slate swan]

mobile will be different than desktop

you can make the embed description

[tepid sundial]

!d discord.Embed

[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`.

[slate swan]

to something like
Staff Name / Staff Hours
@slate swan / 1337 hours
@slate swan / 7331 hours

[slate swan]

yeah but how can i make staff name to be next to staff hours in description?

just make sure it respects the chars limit

!e
desc = ""
for i in range(0, 10):
desc += f"{i}\n"
print(desc)

!dum

[unkempt canyon]

Dunder methods

Double-underscore methods, or "dunder" methods, are special methods defined in a class that are invoked implicitly. Like the name suggests, they are prefixed and suffixed with dunders. You've probably already seen some, such as the __init__ dunder method, also known as the "constructor" of a class, which is implicitly invoked when you instantiate an instance of a class.

When you create a new class, there will be default dunder methods inherited from the object class. However, we can override them by redefining these methods within the new class. For example, the default __init__ method from object doesn't take any arguments, so we almost always override that to fit our needs.

Other common dunder methods to override are __str__ and __repr__. __repr__ is the developer-friendly string representation of an object - usually the syntax to recreate it - and is implicitly called on arguments passed into the repr function. __str__ is the user-friendly string representation of an object, and is called by the str function. Note here that, if not overriden, the default __str__ invokes __repr__ as a fallback.

class Foo:
    def __init__(self, value):  # constructor
        self.value = value
    def __str__(self):
        return f"This is a Foo object, with a value of {self.value}!"  # string representation
    def __repr__(self):
        return f"Foo({self.value!r})"  # way to recreate this object


bar = Foo(5)

# print also implicitly calls __str__
print(bar)  # Output: This is a Foo object, with a value of 5!

# dev-friendly representation
print(repr(bar))  # Output: Foo(5)

Another example: did you know that when you use the <left operand> + <right operand> syntax, you're implicitly calling <left operand>.__add__(<right operand>)? The same applies to other operators, and you can look at the operator built-in module documentation for more information!

[tepid sundial]

Um

Ok

Sry

can i creat a / command?

whit python?

[cloud dawn]

You can

[slender stirrup]

I'm adding cog from other file stats and roll commands are duplicated

[slate swan]

maybe you created the commands with global scope first and then guild wise, or vice-verse

[slender stirrup]

other file just contains 2 command which are roll and stats

[slate swan]

just purge all the commands once

[slender stirrup]

class BitikBot(commands.Bot):
    def __init__(self) -> None:
        super().__init__(command_prefix="!", intents=discord.Intents.default())
        self.count = None

    async def setup_hook(self) -> None:
        await self.add_cog(fun.Fun(self))
        await self.add_cog(MySlashGroupCog(self))
        self.tree.copy_global_to(guild=discord.Object(id=993917768757940224))
        await self.tree.sync()

    async def on_ready(self):
        live_counter.start()
        print(f"We are logged in as {self.user}")

[slate swan]

As said above, purge them all once

[paper sluice]

in the error handler for the prefix command, check if the error is instance of MissingRequiredArgument then do something

[slate swan]

You probably have a guild command and a global command

[slender stirrup]

class Fun(commands.Cog):
    def __init__(self, bot: commands.Bot) -> None:
        self.bot = bot

        self.mongo_client = pymongo.MongoClient("")
        self.col = self.mongo_client[""][""]

    @app_commands.command(name="roll", description="Zar yuvarlar.")
    @app_commands.describe(dice="Maximum değer giriniz.")
    async def roll(self, interaction: discord.Interaction, dice:app_commands.Range[int, 1, None]=10):
        await interaction.response.send_message(f"{random.randint(1, dice)}")

    @app_commands.command(name="stats", description="Sunucu istatistiklerini gösterir.")
    async def stats(self, interaction: discord.Interaction):
        print("asdjujklasşdaskdjıokpaslğspkojıduh============================")
        if self.col.count_documents({"_id":interaction.guild_id}) != 0:
            print("eski kayıt")
            await interaction.response.send_message("test")
        else:
            print("ynei kayr")
            await interaction.response.send_message("test")

[slate swan]

if you want to learn faster, try codewars or something

[warped mirage]

Ok

I don’t care even if it takes like couple of months

As long as I can learn alot I’m down

[slender stirrup]

how i prevent it

[slate swan]

Follow your status

[cloud dawn]

Just takes time

[slate swan]

You already got told, purge the commands once and start the bot again - then see if it's still the same.

[warped mirage]

@client.command()
@commands.has_permissions(ban_members = True)

            await  inter.response.send_message(f"{member.mention} has been banned for {reason}")
        except:

        finally:
            await member.ban(reason=reason)```would this work for a prefix command

[slate swan]

There's no error handler so yeah

[cloud dawn]

I recommend trying hybrid commands

[slate swan]

Probably not working as you want it to work

[cloud dawn]

Since this won't work

[warped mirage]

I’ll add a error handler for the ban command

[slate swan]

prefix commands don't take an inter, they take context

The first paremeter is a discord.Context object, but try hybrid commands as said above.

Is it possible for discord.Message.content to select a certain str? ex. discord.Message.content(1)

[cloud dawn]

Yes lol I'm trying to explain that to u for the last 3 min

[warped mirage]

how do i impoort and use show me exampole

[slate swan]

You mean select a word?

[cloud dawn]

I can't make an example rn I'm on phone

[warped mirage]

client = commands.Bot(command_prefix = '!', intents=intents)``` do i have to change this?

[kind wind]

yeah

[slate swan]

split the string and take the argument needed

[smoky marsh]

import deez

[smoky marsh]

That's how to import

[slate swan]

unfunny

[smoky marsh]

Really? I thought it's hilarious!

[slate swan]

good for you, but were here to help with discord bots and not go ot :))

[smoky marsh]

I was teaching how to import

[cloud dawn]

@slate swan could you explain hybrid to @warped mirage I'm on phone ;-;

[slate swan]

im not very experience on using hybrids havent even checked docs for it, im on phone

[kind wind]

im making a bot for translation (not a translate bot (fr->en) and i want to have multiple words (ids) but not have a command for all of them
example: tv!translate es 3 Hola
<lang> <id> <new translation>

i am trying right now using if functions

[slate swan]

use commands

not the on_message event

i kinda stopped bot dev before the timeout endpoint was even a thing

https://discordpy.readthedocs.io/en/stable/ext/commands/commands.html

[smoky marsh]

Ok

[kind wind]

btw my code:

@bot.command()
@translator_only()
async def translate(ctx):
    if discord.Message.content(1) == 'gr' or 'el':
        await ctx.reply("Greek selected")
    if discord.Message.content(1) == 'bg':
        await ctx.reply("Bulgarian selected")
    if discord.Message.content(1) == 'es':
        await ctx.reply("Spanish selected")

Yes.

[smoky marsh]

Anyone

[slate swan]

now im in networking

[slate swan]

again yes

[slate swan]

Yes, anyone responded @smoky marsh

[slate swan]

with python?

[cloud dawn]

Also doing that I'm combining the 2

[smoky marsh]

Any recommended resources?

[slate swan]

dont really know yet but probably

[smoky marsh]

Do I need to like fully learn it or only know what it does

[slate swan]

im taking a networking course thats 70 hours long and is pretty general talk of networking lol

[smoky marsh]

Damn.

[slate swan]

you use Go for the matter right? you work with cyber security which you would need to know networking i assume

[vocal snow]

Name every single network protocol

[slate swan]

yuh

[slate swan]

😨

[warped mirage]

what do u do with networking?

[vocal snow]

Network

[slate swan]

🔥

[slate swan]

well basically everything related with networks e.g NFC Bluetooth and wifi

[cloud dawn]

Okimii making his own network protocol

[slate swan]

why exactly may i ask?

[slate swan]

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Xbl7XjFYsN4&list=PLhNSoGM2ik6SIkVGXWBwerucXjgP1rHmB

[slate swan]

interesting

[paper sluice]

this series is actually really nice

[slate swan]

i wouldnt even remember it

[slate swan]

i love it ngl

[slate swan]

well, mostly for network security itself

[smoky marsh]

Only this video or the whole serious

[slate swan]

well i mostly saw on google that python java and iirc js are used for network im not quite sure as im still learning the concepts of basic general networking

[slate swan]

thumbnail seems way to happy about asyncio

[slate swan]

the whole series:))

[slate swan]

Very great bright guy non the less

[smoky marsh]

Damn, this is why I hate my life. Anyways, thank you

[slate swan]

i mean py is also good, just hate py sometimes so yuh

[slate swan]

Its quite fun youll like it!

[smoky marsh]

Lmao

[smoky marsh]

Okay, thank you

[vocal snow]

He's Python's Developer in residence!! And also in this server

[slate swan]

i might watch it to get time pass faster

[slate swan]

i would agree but to be honest py is the only language i see my self using for production work idk why

[slate swan]

mhm nice

[smoky marsh]

That series is just so huge

[slate swan]

yeah probably because you have more knowledge

[shrewd apex]

from where are u doing this some yt tutorial?

70hr long

[slate swan]

its like a web article

[shrewd apex]

link?

[slate swan]

personally i always try to not go on youtube for any coding tutorial or explanations, usually horrible

[vale wing]

Same

I read docs and stackoverflow 😳

[slate swan]

yeah same, but more often blog articles or something similar before SO

https://skillsforall.com/course/networking-essentials

im currently network protocols and architecture

they even have questions and modules pretty fun ngl

and labs !

made by cisco hmm

probably some advertisement at the end of the course on how to setup a network with cisco router or similar

they even show how to make a network with a packet tracer which is cool

[slate swan]

nah its a whole module on how to make a network with cisco😭

at least it's interactive

but its free so give it a chance yk

[slate swan]

How much did u payed it for

[slate swan]

expected

[slate swan]

0

[slate swan]

free 99

[paper sluice]

oki is prepared for codejam

[slate swan]

it has videos, labs, tests and modules for each module of a topic so yes

[paper sluice]

he will carry his team

[slate swan]

can u give me the site link pls then 😃

[slate swan]

^

Thanks 😄

[slate swan]

that's good

[slate swan]

im just learning networking cuz ive always liked it and i want to start early so ill be experienced in college

[slate swan]

.bm

[paper sluice]

cool

but you will carry 😳

[slate swan]

college yuck

[slate swan]

only practice ive done for cj9 is making a chat app with Websockets and an API

[paper sluice]

👀 wow

[slate swan]

which i havent finished cuz of my course and i made some calculations with 70 hours i would need to atleast do like 5 hours a day to not be reading the whole course for a month

@slate swan am i the only one that has a stroke remembering network protocols😔 😭

don't need to know every single one

the most useful/used you will learn them with the time

who said i didnt🤨 😳

[cloud dawn]

Me

[slate swan]

exercises etc. will help you remember the most important ones

yeah to me its easier to learn them when its implemented in a problem

[slate swan]

🔪

[warped mirage]

can someone teach me how to use hybrid commands

or, how to make a ban error function for missingRequiredArgument]

[scarlet aurora]

@bot.command()
async def banlist(ctx):
    guild = bot.get_guild(971542589859844136)
    list = [515131107696443393]

    for item in list:
        await guild.fetch_member(item)
        return

    for user in list:
        if user == bot.user:
            continue
    await user.ban()```Can someone help?

no error or runtime error

just doesn't work

[tired hinge]

channel ids in discord are ints or strings?

[scarlet aurora]

ints

[slate swan]

snowflakes

theyre unique integers referenced/represented as snowflakes

[scarlet aurora]

so what's wrong here

[paper sluice]

return breaks out of the function, so after the first loop, it leaves the function

!e

def foo():
    return
    print('hi')

foo()

[unkempt canyon]

@paper sluice :warning: Your eval job has completed with return code 0.

[No output]

[slate swan]

!d return

[unkempt canyon]

return

7.6. The return statement

return_stmt ::=  "return" [expression_list]
``` [`return`](https://docs.python.org/3/reference/simple_stmts.html#return) may only occur syntactically nested in a function definition, not within a nested class definition.

If an expression list is present, it is evaluated, else `None` is substituted.

[`return`](https://docs.python.org/3/reference/simple_stmts.html#return) leaves the current function call with the expression list (or `None`) as return value...

Similar names: pdbcommand.return, pyside2.return

[scarlet aurora]

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

that's the error now

@bot.command()
async def banlist(ctx):
    guild = bot.get_guild(971542589859844136)
    list = [515131107696443393]

    for item in list:
        await guild.fetch_member(item)

    for user in list:
        if user == bot.user:
            continue
    await user.ban()```

[paper sluice]

you didnt assign this

        await guild.fetch_member(item)

[scarlet aurora]

can I append it to another list?

[tired hinge]

okay so i need a little help here.
how can i check all messages sent in the last 10 minutes in a channel and delete them if they have a certain word?

[paper sluice]

sure

[slate swan]

you can just ban by ID

await Guild.ban(discord.Object(id=<ID HERE>))

also don't name your variable as list, its a builtin

[scarlet aurora]

    data = []

    for item in list:
        data.append(await guild.fetch_member(item))```

like this?

[tired hinge]

@tasks.loop(minutes=10)
async def iAmAnIdiotPleaseHelpMeThankYouVeryMuch(ctx):
    e = bot.get_channel(id)
     ```

[sick birch]

It does get quite interesting, but also the nitty gritty of it is not fun. 2 sided blade, if you will

[tired hinge]

does anyone mind

[hushed galleon]

message moderation is usually done by checking messages as they're sent, but if you want to do it like that you can use the text channel's history() method and provide a datetime 10 minutes in the past to the after= kwarg

!d discord.TextChannel.history

[unkempt canyon]

discord.TextChannel.history

async for ... in history(*, limit=100, before=None, after=None, around=None, oldest_first=None)```
Returns an [asynchronous iterator](https://docs.python.org/3/glossary.html#term-asynchronous-iterator "(in Python v3.10)") that enables receiving the destination’s message history.

You must have [`read_message_history`](https://discordpy.readthedocs.io/en/latest/api.html#discord.Permissions.read_message_history "discord.Permissions.read_message_history") permissions to use this.

Examples

Usage...

[smoky marsh]

What is the shortest async tutorial lol

How much async io knowledge is required for discord bots

[warped mirage]

yo , are u decent with dpy 2.0?#

[sick birch]

I like to think that I am, yes

[sick birch]

A decent bit can help you understand what's going on under the hood and diagnose possible errors yourself

I would go a bit more than the bare minimum

[slate swan]

i would agree, but to me its like a single bladded sword, you just have to go with its flow 😳

[coarse dawn]

How do I make the command so I can access it on discord with any big and small letters?

Like the command name is "hello" and I write !heLlo

[slate swan]

you can have aliases or make your bot case_insensitive

[coarse dawn]

Huh?

What's aliases

[slate swan]

🗿 why not the case_insensitive arg in Bot?

[slate swan]

or make your bot case_insensitive

[coarse dawn]

@bot.command()
async def addData(ctx, value, amount):
``` - how is this made accessible by any form of the command name with big and small letters

[sick birch]

Pass in case_insensitive=True to your bot's constructor

(I hope it's true and not false, I'm having a hard time thinking about it lol)

Don't know why they didn't just call it case_sensitive: bool but whatever

[slate swan]

its True

you pass true and it would make it case insensitive if you pass false it will make it case sensitive

[winter gull]

if isinstance(error, commands.Forbidden):
        await ctx.author.send(f"Missing Perms {error}")

is this right way to check and send a missing send message perms for the bot?

[sick birch]

Yes.. but do you really want to send it as a DM to command runner?

Because that in itself could raise an error, if they have DMs turned off

I'm not sure how discord.py handles errors inside error handlers

[winter gull]

idk where else to send the message

should i use nested loop?

or just log it in a txt or smth?

[sick birch]

role_ids = [123, 456, 789]
await member.add_roles(member.guild.get_role() for role_id in role_ids)

It's either that or

await member.add_roles(*[member.guild.get_role() for role_id in role_ids])

[vale wing]

Sends them to on_error

[slate swan]

Just pass *roles if you already have the roles object in a list, I believe that works

[winter gull]

is that an event decorator?

[vale wing]

!d discord.ext.commands.Bot.on_error iirc

[unkempt canyon]

discord.ext.commands.Bot.on\_error

await on_error(event_method, /, *args, **kwargs)```
This function is a [*coroutine*](https://docs.python.org/3/library/asyncio-task.html#coroutine).

The default error handler provided by the client.

By default this logs to the library logger however it could be overridden to have a different implementation. Check [`on_error()`](https://discordpy.readthedocs.io/en/latest/api.html#discord.on_error "discord.on_error") for more details.

Changed in version 2.0: `event_method` parameter is now positional-only and instead of writing to `sys.stderr` it logs instead.

[vale wing]

Not a deco

[sick birch]

Seems like a fantastic way to get recursion issues

[warped mirage]

i need help with 2 things

[vale wing]

The errors from on_error don't go to that function as of my experience

[warped mirage]

one , py @client.command(name="sync") @commands.has_permissions(administrator = True) async def _sync(ctx: commands.Context): client.tree.copy_global_to(guild=discord.Object(id=)) await client.tree.sync() first of all im making a public bot , how can i make this a global command? its to sync slash commands

[sick birch]

Is it not already global? Seeing as it's a regular prefix command

[warped mirage]

well

client.tree.copy_global_to(guild=discord.Object(id=))

it asks for a id

[vale wing]

I use that thing for sending traceback to discord

https://github.com/Exenifix/AIAS/blob/master/utils/bot.py#L106-L108

[unkempt canyon]

utils/bot.py lines 106 to 108

async def on_error(self, event_method: str, *args, **kwargs):
    self.log.error("Unhandled exception occured at %s", event_method)
    await self.log_error()```

[sick birch]

Well yeah the whole point of the function is to copy global app commands to a specific guild

[warped mirage]

i want it so that it works in every guild , is it possible ? or mah

[sick birch]

That depends on what you pass in to your slash command constructors

Yes. If that doesn't work try the 2nd method

[warped mirage]

wdym

[vale wing]

I don't think you can get what permissions bot is missing when it gets 403

I think it's possible only with local checks

[warped mirage]

so its impossible to make multiguild bot with slash commands?

[vale wing]

!d discord.ext.commands.bot_has_permissions for example

[unkempt canyon]

discord.ext.commands.bot\_has\_permissions

@discord.ext.commands.bot_has_permissions(**perms)```
Similar to [`has_permissions()`](https://discordpy.readthedocs.io/en/latest/ext/commands/api.html#discord.ext.commands.has_permissions "discord.ext.commands.has_permissions") except checks if the bot itself has the permissions listed.

This check raises a special exception, [`BotMissingPermissions`](https://discordpy.readthedocs.io/en/latest/ext/commands/api.html#discord.ext.commands.BotMissingPermissions "discord.ext.commands.BotMissingPermissions") that is inherited from [`CheckFailure`](https://discordpy.readthedocs.io/en/latest/ext/commands/api.html#discord.ext.commands.CheckFailure "discord.ext.commands.CheckFailure").

[vale wing]

Why

[warped mirage]

im asking not saying

[vale wing]

How do you think most of bots with slash commands work like dank memer, dyno etc

It's possible ofc

[warped mirage]

well i need help with this then.

the sync command

[vale wing]

Just dpy 2.0 became user unfriendly

[warped mirage]

so for dpy 2.0 currently not possible?

[vale wing]

Possible

But I don't use it so can't help unfortunately

[warped mirage]

can someone here help me

[vale wing]

I mean I can if I do some research

[torn sail]

You can do list comprehension with a * and use discord.Object

[slate swan]

member.add_roles(*[member.guild.get_role(rid) for rid in role_ids])

[warped mirage]

k

[slate swan]

hm, yeah

given that the IDs in role_ids are correct and perms stuff

[warped mirage]

sarth , u good with dpy 2.0 lol

[slate swan]

🚶‍♂️ i don't even like that + its just a basic python thing

updated the message already

it should be get_role

[vale wing]

@warped mirage could you show your code once again and what do you want it to do

[warped mirage]

ok

@client.command(name="sync")
async def _sync(ctx: commands.Context):
    client.tree.copy_global_to(guild=discord.Object(id=)) 
    await client.tree.sync()``` first of all i want to make this multi guild , syncing ,  i want the slash commands to work in every guild

[slate swan]

no problems

[vale wing]

And what happens

[warped mirage]

well u need to enter a id..

of one guild but i dont want that

[slate swan]

you want it to work in all servers?

[warped mirage]

yes , im making a public bot

[slate swan]

just don't use the copy_global_to then

[warped mirage]

do i remove that line?

[sick birch]

if you pass in a guild ID when creating a slash command, then it will work only in that guild. If you don't pass it in, then it's a global command and will work in all servers. The only problem is that it can take up to 60 minutes for it to propagate

[vale wing]

Just use disnake

[slate swan]

i'd agree with exenifix 😔

[warped mirage]

@client.command(name="sync")
async def _sync(ctx: commands.Context):
    await client.tree.sync()``` so like this?

[slate swan]

slash command registration is instant now

[vale wing]

Nice

[sick birch]

Like I mentioned before the whole point of copy_global_to is to copy your global commands to a single guild. I don't see why you need to do that if you want to make a bot that works in all guilds

[warped mirage]

so is that correct? ^^^

[sick birch]

To sync, yes

[vocal plover]

I approve of this message™️

[slate swan]

i think so, try it and see

[warped mirage]

ok last thing i need help with

[sick birch]

Though I don't really see the point of having a syncing feature on command

Might as well just put it on_ready or something similar

[warped mirage]

slash commands wont work then

[vale wing]

👍

[slate swan]

im hating the discord api more and more :V

[sick birch]

Sync it on_ready or something similar, like mentioned

[warped mirage]

can u show me how

[slate swan]

when you realise slash subcommands are just slash command options

[sick birch]

@client.listen()
async def on_ready():
  await client.tree.sync()

[slate swan]

or the setup_hook would be even better!

[sick birch]

I believe that happens before the websocket is fully connected?

Don't know if that matters for a REST operation like sync()

[slate swan]

it doesn't, thats purely a HTTP method

[sick birch]

I figured nothing wrong with syncing multiple times, and people are more used to the on_ready anyway

[sick birch]

In that case setup_hook should be fine

[warped mirage]

like this?

[slate swan]

mhm the github example suggests so

[warped mirage]

ok

[sick birch]

You might as well move it into your existing on_ready

And move your change presence into a task while you're at it

[warped mirage]

like this?

[slate swan]

oi man, thats a bad way to change presence
check this out > https://gist.github.com/Okimii/0b6e5dcfcfb895ef613ac59a4ecc096a

[sick birch]

No, outside your while True loop

Which shouldn't be there in the first place (discord.ext.tasks)

[slate swan]

https://gist.github.com/Okimii/0b6e5dcfcfb895ef613ac59a4ecc096a#changing-activity-after-a-certain-period-of-time

this part to be specific

[sick birch]

This was excellent

[slate swan]

thanks to Oki :D

[sick birch]

Eyup. Once I'm back from this little break I'm going to finish up anything that needs to be done on that and get it merged onto site, and maybe get a !tag for it on the bot as well

[slate swan]

yeah that would be great since there are many beginners who just change the status in on_ready calls

[sick birch]

As evident here haha...

[warped mirage]

i need some help

[slate swan]

check the link you have been redirected to

[warped mirage]

i did

i copied it..

[slate swan]

😳

[warped mirage]

would this just work?

[slate swan]

yeah dont.

[warped mirage]

well then tell me how or what to do

[slate swan]

should be changing it like evvery 30 minutes and in a task

[warped mirage]

no i need it to be updated ever 15 seconds

[slate swan]

i'd recommend something else.

[warped mirage]

whole point lol ]

[slate swan]

since you are setting server count

use on_guild_join/on_guild_remove

*guild

[warped mirage]

im so confused . ill need help..

[slate swan]

well you're screaming for your bot to be banned :))

[warped mirage]

wdym by banned

[slate swan]

as bluenix has told me, discord doesn't like it when you change your presence each certain amount of time, so discord closes the ws connection or ban you iirc per internet protocol

[warped mirage]

are they gonna ban my discord account and bot? tho

or what

[slate swan]

your bot

[warped mirage]

bro my friends bot is verified , 560 servers and it updates every 5 seconds

[slate swan]

some bots have bigger ratelimits depending in size and i doubt it lol

[warped mirage]

ok then can u help me fix each thing

[slate swan]

because your friend jumps out of a cliff doesnt mean you should as well

[warped mirage]

ok then help me please.

[slate swan]

i would probably go for the solution sarth has recommended

[warped mirage]

ye but i need the loop....

just help me please im confused enough

[slate swan]

not really

[warped mirage]

.... i need to know how many servers my bot is in... multiguild#

live count

[slate swan]

you can probably check the current amount of guilds and then when the event gets dispatched you add a value to the global variable e.g 1 for 1 more guild

[warped mirage]

i want it in the status

many bots have it

[slate swan]

then you can change your bots presence but not in a certain time frame

[warped mirage]

can u help me then please

[slate swan]

maybe getting a random time frame like 20mins to 40mins

[warped mirage]

so it updating every 40 mins?

[slate swan]

no no

it can be different time each time but in a certain time frame

[warped mirage]

no, i need a live count

not random

[slate swan]

!d random.randrange

[unkempt canyon]

random.randrange

random.randrange(stop)``````py

random.randrange(start, stop[, step])```
Return a randomly selected element from `range(start, stop, step)`. This is equivalent to `choice(range(start, stop, step))`, but doesn’t actually build a range object.

The positional argument pattern matches that of [`range()`](https://docs.python.org/3/library/stdtypes.html#range "range"). Keyword arguments should not be used because the function may use them in unexpected ways.

Changed in version 3.2: [`randrange()`](https://docs.python.org/3/library/random.html#random.randrange "random.randrange") is more sophisticated about producing equally distributed values. Formerly it used a style like `int(random()*n)` which could produce slightly uneven distributions.

Deprecated since version 3.10: The automatic conversion of non-integer types to equivalent integers is deprecated. Currently `randrange(10.0)` is losslessly converted to `randrange(10)`. In the future, this will raise a [`TypeError`](https://docs.python.org/3/library/exceptions.html#TypeError "TypeError").

[slate swan]

its not random lol

[warped mirage]

can u please help me then or no?

[slate swan]

you can ig change your presence on each guild join without anything that would do fine ig

[warped mirage]

can u update this for me.

@client.event   
async def on_ready():
    await client.tree.sync()
    while True:
        await asyncio.sleep(15)
        await client.change_presence(status=discord.Status.online, activity=discord.Game(f"!support | Im in {len(client.guilds)} Servers"))
        print("Online")

[slate swan]

!d discord.on_guild_join

[unkempt canyon]

discord.on\_guild\_join

discord.on_guild_join(guild)```
Called when a [`Guild`](https://discordpy.readthedocs.io/en/latest/api.html#discord.Guild "discord.Guild") is either created by the [`Client`](https://discordpy.readthedocs.io/en/latest/api.html#discord.Client "discord.Client") or when the [`Client`](https://discordpy.readthedocs.io/en/latest/api.html#discord.Client "discord.Client") joins a guild.

This requires [`Intents.guilds`](https://discordpy.readthedocs.io/en/latest/api.html#discord.Intents.guilds "discord.Intents.guilds") to be enabled.

[slate swan]

and just change the presence inside of the function

[warped mirage]

idk how

[slate swan]

its a namespace just name a function with that name so when the event gets fired the function gets internally called, hence why i told you to change your presence inside of it

[warped mirage]

bro i need help

just help me please

[slate swan]

i have guided you

[slender stirrup]

can commandTree.on_error works with app_command

[warped mirage]

no

i said i need it to change lively

[slate swan]

which i already told you how it can be done.

many ways actually

[warped mirage]

u didnt in which way i need..

[slate swan]

Robin, Sarth and me have helped you, if you cant figure it out maybe you should check out resources

[warped mirage]

u helped the way u like it

i said i need it to update whatever duration

[slate swan]

I helped you the way it should be done.

[warped mirage]

bro i need it to be updated,..

[slate swan]

by guiding you to learn and try hard and not be given everything. I am encouraging what this server stands for.

[warped mirage]

then how come wick and those bots have live counts, but i cant??

[slate swan]

^

[warped mirage]

seperate event?

[vale wing]

What the what is that while True

[warped mirage]

so currently , every 15 seconds it updates the server count

[vale wing]

Also updating status every 15 seconds might get you ratelimited

[warped mirage]

wtf it changed , my bot restarted like 7 times

[slate swan]

that is so, the whole feature you want can be done in easily 3 lines.

[warped mirage]

never had this before

[vale wing]

!d discord.ext.tasks.loop use this instead of while True + asyncio.sleep

[unkempt canyon]

discord.ext.tasks.loop

discord.ext.tasks.loop(*, seconds=..., minutes=..., hours=..., time=..., count=None, reconnect=True)```
A decorator that schedules a task in the background for you with optional reconnect logic. The decorator returns a [`Loop`](https://discordpy.readthedocs.io/en/latest/ext/tasks/index.html#discord.ext.tasks.Loop "discord.ext.tasks.Loop").

[slate swan]

no

[sick birch]

Also increase the duration, 15 seconds like mentioned is way too short

Maybe a minute to be courteous

[warped mirage]

my bot restarted 7 times with the current code i have , not good ig

[slate swan]

#discord-bots message

[sick birch]

Or use on_guild_join

[vale wing]

And if you are trying to change presence when the bot joins a guild it shouldn't even be connected to any events it should be in a loop as well

[warped mirage]

can u help me with that?

[vale wing]

I usually have it at 30 mins

[warped mirage]

btw if its 30 mins , does ur bot restart after 30 mins?

[slate swan]

it really shouldnt be a certain time span lol

[vale wing]

The function is called every 30 mins

[warped mirage]

well if u wanna have a live count that would be nice

[vale wing]

Yeah whoever needs 100% accurate amount in status

[warped mirage]

nah i can make mine every like 30 mins i guess

[slate swan]

just use on_guild_join

[warped mirage]

@client.event   
async def on_guild_join():
    while True:
        await asyncio.sleep(30)
        await client.change_presence(status=discord.Status.online, activity=discord.Game(f"!help | {len(client.guilds)} Servers"))```

[vale wing]

Imagine bot joining 5 guilds at once - 5 useless API calls and ratelimit

[slate swan]

@bot.event
async def on_guild_join(guild: discord.Guild) -> None:
    await bot.change_presence(...)

its this easy

[vale wing]

Imo it's better to update the amount once in certain interval, not on every guild join

[slate swan]

yup

but not really

[warped mirage]

better?

[vale wing]

If you care about live accuracy then on_guild_join if about amount of requests then tasks.loop

[slate swan]

it shouldnt be a certain interval and guild_join can be called many times but you can probably just have a ratelimit or something

[warped mirage]

bruh then how can i make a livecount , i need one

[slate swan]

its literally right here

[warped mirage]

i alr dod

so how often will it update? i wanna set to per 50 mins

[slate swan]

well then you have it

[slate swan]

it wont update until your bot is added again into a new guild

[vale wing]

I mean this

@tasks.loop(minutes=30)
async def update_stats():
    await bot.change_presence(activity=Idk(len(bot.guilds)))```

[slate swan]

as told in the namespace description

[warped mirage]

ye but then i can get ratelimited right?

[slate swan]

iirc ratelimits for dispatching events is like 120/120s

[warped mirage]

iirc?

[slate swan]

if i remember correctly/if i recall correctly

[warped mirage]

wdym? so how long do they last

[slate swan]

you would only get ratelimited if you surpass the limit

which its 120/120s or 60/120s im not sure

[warped mirage]

how long do u get ratelimited for? if so

[slate swan]

about an hour which i doubt would happen.

[hardy yoke]

if you hit a rate limit you'll just get an error

[warped mirage]

ok uknow what.

[hardy yoke]

if you abuse rate limits too much your bot gets temp banned

[warped mirage]

@slate swan ill do what u suggest. i just want my bot to be fine

[slate swan]

then with what i recommended it would probably be fine lol

[warped mirage]

@client.event
async def on_guild_join(guild: discord.Guild) -> None:
    await client.change_presence(status=discord.Status.online, activity=discord.Game(f"!help | {len(client.guilds)} Servers"))
        ``` so this ye?

[slate swan]

yep

[warped mirage]

wait a sec

@tasks.loop(minutes=60)
async def update_stats():
    await bot.change_presence(activity=Idk(len(bot.guilds)))``` should i add this or na

[slate swan]

no need

[vale wing]

That's pseudocode anyway

[warped mirage]

ok, btw if this will be a big problem can i do a command that checks how many servers the bots in? if thats easier

[slate swan]

yeah you can

[warped mirage]

ok so im sorted ig

[vale wing]

Checking amount of guilds is just len(bot.guilds) and len just does simple division not even an expensive operation

[slate swan]

just send the length of client.guilds

[warped mirage]

ye

last thing then

@client.command()
@commands.has_permissions(ban_members = True)
async def ban(ctx, member : discord.Member, *, reason: str):
        try:
            await  member.send(f"You have been banned in {ctx.guild} for {reason}")
            await  ctx.response.send_message(f"{member.mention} has been banned for {reason}")
        except:
            await ctx.reply(f"The user you are trying to ban has DM's closed", ephemeral = True)
        finally:
            await member.ban(reason=reason)``` how can i add a missingRequiredArgument error for this prefix command

[slate swan]

nvm you ment argument and not perms

[warped mirage]

ye

[slate swan]

but a local error handler would be what you want

[vale wing]

Just handle it in error handler

[warped mirage]

so i can do it for any command that needs argument and send one message and it will do it for every command?

[slate swan]

just catch all errors in a local error handler and check the instance of the error with an isinstance

[vale wing]

Why local

[slate swan]

well it depends if he wants to do special tasks with that certain error triggered by that command

[warped mirage]

all i want is

[vale wing]

Yes

[warped mirage]

currently all i want is that any command that requires an argument will send a error reply ephemeral saying , You must specify a username

[vale wing]

Ephemeral can't be sent without an interaction

[slate swan]

well Context doesnt have ephemeral messages but an error handler is what you want

[warped mirage]

wait forget ephemeral

[hardy yoke]

https://gist.github.com/EvieePy/7822af90858ef65012ea500bcecf1612#file-error_handler-py-L76

[warped mirage]

i can just do delete_after = 10 ?

[slate swan]

it depends on what you want

[warped mirage]

well i said what i want lol

[slate swan]

you just said can i use a kwarg ofc you can use the kwarg lol

[warped mirage]

well

[slate swan]

nothing is limiting you but i just ask because it depends on what you want really

[warped mirage]

so any command that is missing a argument , it sends a reply that it needs to specify a username , then it gets deleted after 10 seconds

[vale wing]

Global error handler does that

[slate swan]

any or one command?

[warped mirage]

well any then since i have mute command and them it will be easier ig, but whatever u suggest

[hardy yoke]

read the gist it shows you have to make an error handler to deal with that

[slate swan]

then on_command_error would do you good

[hardy yoke]

it's commented to explain most of it as well

[warped mirage]

how can i do

[slate swan]

you can just use the name space to redirect the traceback

[warped mirage]

hmm

[vale wing]

Why are people still chaining elif isinstance(error, SomeErrorClass) repetitive code 🤓

[warped mirage]

how can i do it fully]

[slate swan]

cant you use match and case?

[vale wing]

Dict with error classes as keys and values as responses and there you go

Looks much cleaner

[slate swan]

!d discord.discord.ext.commands.on_command_error

[unkempt canyon]

discord.discord.ext.commands.on\_command\_error

discord.ext.commands.on_command_error(ctx, error)```
An error handler that is called when an error is raised inside a command either through user input error, check failure, or an error in your own code.

A default one is provided ([`Bot.on_command_error()`](https://discordpy.readthedocs.io/en/latest/ext/commands/api.html#discord.ext.commands.Bot.on_command_error "discord.ext.commands.Bot.on_command_error")).

[slate swan]

if all youre going to do is send a message yep that would be better

[warped mirage]

idk how to make it lol

[vale wing]

I have it like some errors derive from my custom class and they have action method so instead of just sending a message they do the action and send the message

[warped mirage]

if anyone can please help

[vale wing]

I forgor where I used it tho

[slate swan]

nice

[hardy yoke]

https://gist.github.com/EvieePy/7822af90858ef65012ea500bcecf1612

[slate swan]

its an event and namespace

you would decorate it with Bot.event and use the namespace as your function name so it can be called internally

[slate swan]

masterdroid?

sounds familiar

[warped mirage]

Idk you

[slate swan]

You sure

[warped mirage]

Prolly not

[slate swan]

looks like we had dm history

[slate swan]

events dont pass ctx

that one does

it passes the Context and error of the command that had the error

[vale wing]

How many lines does python fetch

[warped mirage]

I tried it doesn’t work

Help me please

[slate swan]

probably like 10

[vale wing]

https://github.com/Exenifix/AIAS/blob/master/utils/errors.py#L158-L165

[vale wing]

These are cringe

[slate swan]

come in dms for a sec

[slate swan]

🧍

[vale wing]

missing_permissions are most likely a list of str

Why am I even casting

[hardy yoke]

what have you tried

[vale wing]

Ok that really was a list of str

Could've done it with map

[hardy yoke]

Please read the gist

[warped mirage]

bro i read

how else would i have it in my code

[hardy yoke]

That's not how it's formatted in the gist

[warped mirage]

..

[slate swan]

u forgot a colon btw

[vale wing]

And understand what is written*

[hardy yoke]

    @client.event
    async def on_command_error(ctx, error: Exception):

        if isinstance(error, commands.MissingRequiredArgument):
            await ctx.send("enter your string etc")`
        #etc etc

[slate swan]

hes not in a cog

[warped mirage]

i copied it from the gist mate.

[vale wing]

Copysusta

Fun fact: I got banned yesterday while testing link regex

[warped mirage]

 @client.event
    async def on_command_error(ctx, error: Exception):

        if isinstance(error, commands.MissingRequiredArgument):
            await ctx.send(f'Please specify a username.')``` does this work?

[slate swan]

MasterDroid i would recommend you learn OOP, async programming and basic Python as discord.py is a lib that utilizes OOP and asynchronous code, you have been given many sources but have had trouble due to your skill level, sometimes learning a topic over going to the advanced part of it is the best thing to do in order to learn better.

[hardy yoke]

It should but keep in mind that'll run for every command that hits a missingrequiredargument error

[vale wing]

Nice

[hardy yoke]

A local error handler might be better in certain cases

[slate swan]

if dpys docs cant help you im not sure what can😅

[warped mirage]

will it worked tho what i showed

[slate swan]

ye it will

[slate swan]

im pretty sure your annotations arent correct and try out and see

[vale wing]

Would the "Guide how to host a python discord bot with docker and github actions" be a useful tutorial

[sick birch]

Useful, yes. Not sure how much it'd be read considering people seem to use replit or heroku most of the time, and on the off chance someone is hosting off an actual cloud service, they usually just install python and run their bot

Definetely useful for the people looking to go one step further, though

[vale wing]

Ok

[fallow mauve]

im making a bot with my friend and i added a rate command where it will pick a random number form 1 to 6 and rate the subject arg that number, but im getting an error, heres code:

from discord.ext import commands

[vale wing]

You forgot the quotes also if chain is a bad idea

[fallow mauve]

ok but i dont get why

why is it a bad idea

@vale wing

[vale wing]

Check this out https://youtube.com/shorts/UFdEp9wrtOY?feature=share

Just the principle

You could do bar like this as well ig

full_bar = "🟥🟥🟧🟧🟨🟨"
print(full_bar[:value] + "⬛" * (6 - value))```

!e py value = 3 full_bar = "🟥🟥🟧🟧🟨🟨" print(full_bar[:value] + "⬛" * (6 - value)) 

[unkempt canyon]

@vale wing :white_check_mark: Your eval job has completed with return code 0.

🟥🟥🟧⬛⬛⬛

[sick birch]

It's DRY code

You should just be able to look at it and tell

Notice how you're repeating the same thing over and over again? Usually that's a bad sign

[vale wing]

Their code is actually WET isn't it

[slate swan]

down bad bro

[slender stirrup]

Is member.avatar_url removed in discord.py 2.0

[slate swan]

its Member.avatar.url now since avatar returns an Asset obj

!d discord.Asset.url

[unkempt canyon]

discord.Asset.url

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

[slate swan]

help please ive been trynna fix this for the last 50 mins

[flint isle]

uhh how can I make it to where the reaction is on the sent message?

    @commands.command(name='poll', description='Creates a poll')
    async def poll(self, ctx, *, question):
        """Creates a poll."""
        await ctx.send(f'{question}')

        await ctx.message.add_reaction('👍')
        await ctx.message.add_reaction('👎')
        await ctx.message.add_reaction('❔')

i mean the message that the bot sends showing the question

[slate swan]

which channel has tutorials

[white aurora]

have you tried "pip install poetry lock" ?

[slate swan]

yep 😭

same error

[paper sluice]

message = await ctx.send(...)
await message.add_reaction(...)

[slate swan]

Is there a way to add space between 2 words in embed description ?

like Word1 Word2

and i want Word1 Word2

Hello _ _ _ _ _ _ world

Hello _ _ _ _ _ _ world

yeah

That should work I guess

i just want to add some space between 2 words

[slate swan]

underscore?

Yeah then use _ _ per space

underscore space underscore

ok but are you sure this will work in description of embed?

It should

Formatting is the same as normal messages

i think \u200b should work too but im not sure

the underscore didnt work

[slate swan]

this didnt work too

love discord

What account

If you mean yours, it's a selfbot

Against Discord ToS

[hushed galleon]

'\u200b ' * some number should work as a gap, but its a janky solution

[slate swan]

!rule 5

[dense herald]

Okay ty

[unkempt canyon]

Rules

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

[slate swan]

can get your account terminated quite easily

[slate swan]

do you refer to me?

nana

Oh ok

other person that deleted the message

i got a heart attack for a sec

[hazy prawn]

question, how do you get a bot to say stuff at specific intervals like every minute
AND how do you get a bot to say specific stuff based off a chat command with no trigger (like having to say stuff to toggle)

[slate swan]

!d discord.ext.tasks.loop

[unkempt canyon]

discord.ext.tasks.loop

discord.ext.tasks.loop(*, seconds=..., minutes=..., hours=..., time=..., count=None, reconnect=True)```
A decorator that schedules a task in the background for you with optional reconnect logic. The decorator returns a [`Loop`](https://discordpy.readthedocs.io/en/latest/ext/tasks/index.html#discord.ext.tasks.Loop "discord.ext.tasks.Loop").

[hazy prawn]

what about the second question

[hardy yoke]

on_message probably

[slate swan]

Is there a way the bot to send only 10 values in embed so i can make embed pages

For example, i have selected a table list from sqlite file, which 20 values and i want on the first page to be only 10 and on the second page, the rest of the values (20)

[sick birch]

Some level of JS is going to be required

It's not too terribly difficult, I've done it easily. Only with a framework though (for my dashboard)

Sure.. are you having any specific issues?

Uh yeah I suppose you could ping me

[smoky marsh]

What is considered the "bare minimum"

[paper sluice]

this seems interesting, what do you need for this?

[sick birch]

It's.. hard to quantify. Knowing enough to know how to use it I might classify as the bare minimum

[sick birch]

what do you need for this?
do you mean what features do I have that require a log in with discord?

[paper sluice]

no i mean like, how do i access the log in thing itself, is it part of the api or ?

[sick birch]

You go through the Oauth2 API flow which is documented here: https://discord.com/developers/docs/topics/oauth2

With a little bit of effort from the developer, the user facing side can be really easy. I'm talking 2 clicks to log in with your discord

[paper sluice]

oh nice, thanks

[sick birch]

Yep. I encourage you to implement it yourself, even something that prints out the user's guilds to the JS console and have them go through Oauth2 just to get a feel for how it works

[smoky marsh]

So, what do you recommend me to learn in order to have enough to make discord bots?

[sick birch]

I believe there was a realpython on asyncio, reading through that and making sure you understand all of it is a good step in the right direction

No, it's all done with your actual discord account

[paper sluice]

right will do 👍

[smoky marsh]

Reading through all of that...?

[sick birch]

If you successfully go with the oauth2 flow, you should have the user's token that you can use for REST operations

Yeah I'm here everyday, just send a ping my way and if I'm there I'll see what I can do

[smoky marsh]

https://realpython.com/async-io-python/
Is this the tutorial you're referring to?

[sick birch]

Yeah, that one

[smoky marsh]

Understandable, thanks

[sick birch]

I took it down after a while. Wasn't used much and I was primarily doing it for the learning experience, so sadly it isn't up anymore

This is a bad idea, you're going to get rate-limited

Is your command only supposed to ping a person once in the same channel that they ran the command in?

You're on the right track for that, bot.get_channel() only takes one ID at a time however

[smoky marsh]

You're probably on discord.py v1.7.3

[smoky marsh]

How do I fix it

Is the discord docs out of date or something

[sick birch]

The discord docs are on the latest version, which you're not

https://github.com/Rapptz/discord.py#installing follow the development version instructions as outlined here

[smoky marsh]

How do I update it?

[cold sonnet]

https://discordpy.readthedocs.io/en/stable/api.html these ain't on the latest version

[smoky marsh]

Ahh okay, thank you

I'm on 1.7.3

[sick birch]

Guessed as much

[smoky marsh]

I ran the command py -3 -m pip install -U discord.py and it says requirement satisfied

[mystic star]

pip uninstall discord.py and reinstall

[smoky marsh]

Okay

I ran py -3 -m pip install -U discord.py and it installed 1.7.3 again..

[cold sonnet]

yeah it isn't on pypi

[smoky marsh]

@cold sonnet What?

[cold sonnet]

pip install -U git+https://github.com/Rapptz/discord.py

discord.py isn't on the latest version on pip

you have to install it from github

[sick birch]

Installing it from pypi will always give you 1.7.3, yeah. Which is why I linked you to the install instructions on github

[smoky marsh]

Ohh okay

[slate swan]

gta6 is coming out first than dpy 2.0 on pypi and thats for sure

[hardy yoke]

what are you trying to do with this because it doesn't make sense from what I'm seeing

[smoky marsh]

Ok I installed it

[spark raptor]

uhh

help?

apparently not closed?

[sick birch]

All of that needs to be in a string

[smoky marsh]

What does await do?

[sick birch]

Python doesn't natively understand SQL, so it needs to be inside of a string

cursor.execute("SELECT ... FROM ... WHERE ...")

[mystic star]

passes a function

import discord

    print(f'We have logged in as {client.user}')

@client.event

client.run('my_token')```
Did I use await in the right place

[sick birch]

It runs a coroutine, and waits for the result. Hence the await. Massive oversimplification but it gets the point across.

I believe it also adds it to the event loop

[smoky marsh]

So what's the difference between async and await

[spark raptor]

sooooo, inside of speech marks?

[smoky marsh]

The code ends instead of running

[sick birch]

async is used to define an asynchronous function, or a coroutine, while await is used to actually run and wait for the result of said coroutine

[sick birch]

Right

[smoky marsh]

oh

[spark raptor]

uhhhh where does the comma go?

[sick birch]

It's still not in quotations

Python is really confused because you're basically writing another language inside of it

[spark raptor]

im confused as well

[sick birch]

There we go, run it again

[spark raptor]

it's still the same

[slate swan]

only the sql query, the parameters iterable doesnt have to be within the same string

[sick birch]

Also I don't believe SQL lets you use spaces for table names?

[paper sluice]

its supposed to be like this

"query", (param, )

[spark raptor]

hmmm

[sick birch]

And yeah good catch, didn't see the (user.id) part at the end

[slate swan]

I always get ignored

[paper sluice]

you didnt type anything

[slate swan]

.

[paper sluice]

oh lol

[sick birch]

To be fair you did kind of phrase that weirdly

[slate swan]

what's weird in that

[slate swan]

not exactly.

[sick birch]

Probably just nitpicky but it implies that the parameters iterable can be in the same string, but doesn't have to

[spark raptor]

like this?

[sick birch]

I assume they took it as a suggestion and ignored it?

[sick birch]

Well, close, but the rest of your query still needs to be a string

[paper sluice]

no the whole query part is supposed to be one string like

"SELECT ... FROM ... WHERE ..."

[sick birch]

cursor.execute("SELECT ... FROM ... WHERE ...", (...))

[slate swan]

jesus, where do you find common sense

[sick birch]

I ask myself that sometimes too

Don't worry haha, easy issue to fix here anyway

[spark raptor]

whattttttt

[slate swan]

await calls the function and passes the function to the event loop giving control to the event loop so the event loop can manage all the current coroutines to have concurrency

[spark raptor]

oh wait

[paper sluice]

and (user.id) is an int not a tuple
it is a little confusing but (something) doesn't make a tuple but (something,) does
so add a comma inside those parens

[spark raptor]

you mean like

[slate swan]

thats basically what await does, it awaits for a coroutine to finish in the event loop so the event loop can manage it concurrently

[spark raptor]

(user.id,) ?

[slate swan]

or just provide a list or set if it works

[paper sluice]

right

[tall knot]

discord.py provides one of the best inbuilt command handler, why in the hell are you not using that?

[slate swan]

best?

[spark raptor]

ok this good?

[sick birch]

You can't use double quotes inside of double quotes without confusing python into thinking that the quote is done, you can either escape it (\") or use single quotes:

print("Did you know that you can have 'single quotes' inside double quotes? But not \"double quotes\".")

[sick birch]

Now we're back at square 1. Your parameters need to be outside

[slate swan]

dpy has poor app commands design imo

its source🗿

[smoky marsh]

Idk anything about this, I just copy pasted this code to see if it works

[slate swan]

I'm talking about both source and user experience

[tall knot]

danny is still trying his best to update the library even after archiving it for 6+ months, def doing way better than what any of us would have tbh ¯_(ツ)_/¯

[slate swan]

I agree, yet expect more from someone like him who has been working on a widely used library for years.

And keeping the point in mind that discord.py focuses on simple abstractions, the app commands part kinda suck

[spark raptor]

ok now?

[slate swan]

good thing about them is that it provides full control to the library user instead of doing the sync api calls itself, but it's not too hard to implement it in an easy way/optionally

my wifi had a stroke

[sick birch]

There we go. Given SQL allows spaces in your table/column names you should be good

[spark raptor]

aight ty

[slate swan]

disnake did that, and I like their implementation , tho I use neither

[spark raptor]

and it still says I forgot a comma somewhere

[slate swan]

select social, credit, balance

[hardy yoke]

he shits on forks but forks implemented slash better lol (some of them anyway)

[slate swan]

Yeah that's what I'm taking about

!d disnake.ext.commands.Bot

[unkempt canyon]

disnake.ext.commands.Bot

class disnake.ext.commands.Bot(command_prefix=None, help_command=<default-help-command>, description=None, **options)```
Represents a discord bot.

This class is a subclass of [`disnake.Client`](https://docs.disnake.dev/en/latest/api.html#disnake.Client "disnake.Client") and as a result anything that you can do with a [`disnake.Client`](https://docs.disnake.dev/en/latest/api.html#disnake.Client "disnake.Client") you can do with this bot.

This class also subclasses [`GroupMixin`](https://docs.disnake.dev/en/latest/ext/commands/api.html#disnake.ext.commands.GroupMixin "disnake.ext.commands.GroupMixin") to provide the functionality to manage commands.

[slate swan]

ow it's in options

[paper sluice]

what is the name of the table you are trying to get data from?

[slate swan]

they have a kwarg which stops the lib from making the api calls itself

[vocal plover]

I maintain that the reason I believe app commands are the way they are in d.py is specifically to differentiate from the forks, not because there's a good reason, because they seem to be almost unanimously disliked

[slate swan]

` for app commands registration

import discord

        await message.channel.send('Hello!')

client.run('your token here')```

[smoky marsh]

Is this up to date code?

[slate swan]

yes

[paper sluice]

table names cannot have spaces, are these 3 different tables or just one?

[smoky marsh]

Then why does it show Event loop is closed

[spark raptor]

ohhhhhhh

[spark raptor]

just one

[slate swan]

show full exception

Event loop closed gives no idea

[paper sluice]

yup, so you will have to make a new table with a name which doesn't have spaces

[spark raptor]

ok that makes so much more sense, how do you get it to go offline?

[sick birch]

Usually happens when the token is invalid

Maybe you forgot to actually substitute your token into

client.run('your token here')
```?

[smoky marsh]

I actually did

[spark raptor]

do underscores work?

[smoky marsh]

@sick birch I mean that I have put my token in there

[paper sluice]

yup

[paper sluice]

offline as in the bot?

[spark raptor]

yes

[sick birch]

Okay, can we see the full error then?

[paper sluice]

where are you running the bot from?

[sick birch]

If I'm to guess it's an intent issue

Your bot is requesting intents that you may not have enabled in the dashboard

But let's see the full error anyway just to be sure

[smoky marsh]

Yeah sure

[spark raptor]

Visual studio code

[smoky marsh]

Can I upload it as a file?

It's too big

[paper sluice]

closing the terminal should work

[unkempt canyon]

Hey @smoky marsh!

You either uploaded a .txt file or entered a message that was too long. Please use our paste bin instead.

[smoky marsh]

Ok yes

[paper sluice]

!paste use this @smoky marsh

[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.

discord.errors.PrivilegedIntentsRequired: Shard ID None is requesting privileged intents that have not been explicitly enabled in the developer portal.

If this is not possible, then consider disabling the privileged intents instead.

[spark raptor]

ok

[smoky marsh]

What?

Also, is the discord docs really up to date?

Cuz this is the code I'm running in the 2.0.0 version

And it's exactly from the docs

[paper sluice]

it is

[sick birch]

Yeah, but the docs will often leave out little things like that

But luckily the errors are usually descriptive enough of that to tell you what's wrong

[smoky marsh]

So what do I do

[sick birch]

What does the error tell you to do?

[smoky marsh]

Let me find
