Heya! Im currently working on a bot everything is working, but at a command, whenever someone that does not have the permission to do such, it should send the message said in the image. but it does not. If I do have the permission the other embed sends just fine, its not only on this line, its this one and another, please help me. Thanks.

Remember to:

Ask your Python question, not if you can ask or if there's an expert who can help.
Show a code sample as text (rather than a screenshot) and the error message, if you've got one.
Explain what you expect to happen and what actually happens.

:warning: Do not pip install anything that isn't related to your question, especially if asked to over DMs.

little locust Apr 6, 2024, 10:33 AM

#

this is the second.

#

its the same but just different commands

#

i got stuck here

#

for the last hour

#

code : py @commands.command() @commands.has_permissions(manage_channels=True) async def logs(self, ctx, log_channel: discord.TextChannel, staff_role: discord.Role): # Check if user has manage_channels permission if not ctx.guild.me.guild_permissions.manage_channels: await ctx.send(":prayer_failed: | I am missing the `manage_channels` permission.") return

inland oak Apr 6, 2024, 10:42 AM

#

since you're using @commands.has_permissions()
then you could use:

# Return a message if a user doesn't have permissions (prefix command)
@client.event
async def on_command_error(ctx, error):
   if isinstance(error, commands.MissingPermissions):
      await ctx.send("You are missing the required permissions to run this command.")

# Slash Command

@client.event
async def on_application_command_error(ctx, error):
   if isinstance(error, commands.MissingPermissions):
      await ctx.send("You are missing the required permissions to run this command.")

might vary slightly if you're using discord.py, pycord or something else. this example is based off of nextcord

little locust Apr 6, 2024, 10:43 AM

#

I do not need / want the slash command.

inland oak Apr 6, 2024, 10:43 AM

#

don't include it then

#

The code provided goes in your main file, being the same file that you use client.run

little locust Apr 6, 2024, 10:44 AM

#

for me its not client.run its bot.run

inland oak Apr 6, 2024, 10:44 AM

#

yeah, as I said it varies

#

you'll have to refer to the documentation relevant to what you're using and alter it accordingly

little locust Apr 6, 2024, 10:44 AM

#

inland oak since you're using `@commands.has_permissions()` then you could use: ```py # Re...

why would i use client.event? btw, my file is a cog

inland oak Apr 6, 2024, 10:45 AM

#

this doesn't go in the cog

little locust Apr 6, 2024, 10:45 AM

#

so it goes stragith into the main file?

inland oak Apr 6, 2024, 10:45 AM

#

yes

#

the same file you run the bot, set up intents, command prefix, on_ready etc

little locust Apr 6, 2024, 10:45 AM

#

quick question for you

#

is the error automatically gonna go to the logging?
like the logging problem

#

or is it gonna go for every single one

inland oak Apr 6, 2024, 10:46 AM

#

What do you mean?

vast kettle Apr 6, 2024, 10:46 AM

#

little locust is the error automatically gonna go to the logging? like the logging problem

wdym by that

little locust Apr 6, 2024, 10:46 AM

#

like

inland oak Apr 6, 2024, 10:46 AM

#

little locust

the .event will reply to the command that returned a permission error

little locust Apr 6, 2024, 10:47 AM

#

I want a error, like said :prayer_failed: | I am missing the `manage_channels` permission. to be only sent to the logs and the deletelogs

inland oak Apr 6, 2024, 10:47 AM

#

you would find the channel, then instead of using await ctx.send you'd use await channelName.send()

vast kettle Apr 6, 2024, 10:48 AM

#

channel = bot.get_channel(CHANNEL_ID)
await channel.send("foo")

inland oak Apr 6, 2024, 10:48 AM

#

the await ctx.send will send that message to the same channel that the error occurred. for example, if i tried to use a command that I don't have permissions use in #python-discussion, the bot would send your message in that channel

little locust Apr 6, 2024, 10:49 AM

#

the bot will be in multiple servers, so it will all have different logs channels

#

inland oak Apr 6, 2024, 10:49 AM

#

then you could have a database storing the channel ID of different log channels, along with the server ID

little locust Apr 6, 2024, 10:49 AM

#

ido

#

including staff_role , log_channel and the server id

inland oak Apr 6, 2024, 10:50 AM

#

then you'd just fetch the channel ID, find the channel in discord and use await channelName.send("hi")

little locust Apr 6, 2024, 10:50 AM

#

so i put it right here?

inland oak Apr 6, 2024, 10:51 AM

#

as I said, await ctx.send will send the message in the channel that is being used in

vast kettle Apr 6, 2024, 10:51 AM

#

are you having a file per command?

little locust Apr 6, 2024, 10:51 AM

#

yes, i want that to happend

little locust Apr 6, 2024, 10:51 AM

#

vast kettle are you having a file per command?

its cogs

#

yes

vast kettle Apr 6, 2024, 10:51 AM

#

why

little locust Apr 6, 2024, 10:51 AM

#

idk

#

more easy for me

vast kettle Apr 6, 2024, 10:51 AM

#

just separate them by categories

inland oak Apr 6, 2024, 10:51 AM

#

that's the idea of cogs

vast kettle Apr 6, 2024, 10:51 AM

#

not even java requires so many files

little locust Apr 6, 2024, 10:51 AM

#

xD

vast kettle Apr 6, 2024, 10:52 AM

#

inland oak that's the idea of cogs

the idea is to categorize commands, not to have a command per class

little locust Apr 6, 2024, 10:52 AM

#

oh well

#

can we get back to fixing

#

the command

vast kettle Apr 6, 2024, 10:52 AM

#

yeah

inland oak Apr 6, 2024, 10:52 AM

#

cogs can be used for 1 file per command, or a file containing all commands specific to moderating or whatever you want

little locust Apr 6, 2024, 10:52 AM

#

anyways

#

i do want the message to be sent in the channel that is being used in

#

but it is not sending

inland oak Apr 6, 2024, 10:52 AM

#

ok

vast kettle Apr 6, 2024, 10:53 AM

#

errors?

little locust Apr 6, 2024, 10:53 AM

#

vast kettle errors?

no errors

inland oak Apr 6, 2024, 10:53 AM

#

little locust so i put it right here?

this specific part?

vast kettle Apr 6, 2024, 10:53 AM

i do not really know, im being stuck on this thing for the past hour

#

if i give u the whole code

#

can u look around

#

and see if i did something wrong

vast kettle Apr 6, 2024, 10:53 AM

bet

inland oak Apr 6, 2024, 10:54 AM

#

inland oak since you're using `@commands.has_permissions()` then you could use: ```py # Re...

the way you're doing it is alright, but generally it is more recommended for errors to be dealt with via @bot.event

little locust Apr 6, 2024, 10:54 AM

#

https://paste.pythondiscord.com/5THQ

vast kettle Apr 6, 2024, 10:54 AM

#

but

#

we also need the error handler

little locust Apr 6, 2024, 10:55 AM

#

this is my errors

#

#

no errors at all

#

except the syntax dont mind that

#

here is the WHOLE logging file

https://paste.pythondiscord.com/4QMA

inland oak Apr 6, 2024, 10:56 AM

#

are you wanting the error to show if the user running the command has insufficient permissions, or if the bot has insufficient permissions?

little locust Apr 6, 2024, 10:56 AM

#

user

inland oak Apr 6, 2024, 10:56 AM

#

because ctx.guild.me refers to the bot

little locust Apr 6, 2024, 10:56 AM

#

oh fuck

#

is that what i was stuck on

inland oak Apr 6, 2024, 10:56 AM

#

possibly

little locust Apr 6, 2024, 10:56 AM

#

this whole time

#

what do i change it to

#

my brain

#

is dead

inland oak Apr 6, 2024, 10:57 AM

#

ctx.author.guild_permissions should work

little locust Apr 6, 2024, 10:57 AM

#

alr

inland oak Apr 6, 2024, 10:57 AM

#

if not ctx.author.guild_permissions.manage_channels:

little locust Apr 6, 2024, 10:58 AM

#

alright hold on

#

let me get one of my tester to try it out

#

i just got a hella error

nvm i just fixed it

inland oak Apr 6, 2024, 11:00 AM

#

'logging' has no attribute 'getLogger' sums it up

little locust Apr 6, 2024, 11:00 AM

#

mhm

#

yeah still doesnt work

inland oak Apr 6, 2024, 11:01 AM

#

any errors?

little locust Apr 6, 2024, 11:01 AM

#

nope

#

should i give my main bot file (dw it doesnt have the token there) and the logging.py file?

#

so u can see

#

what the problem is

inland oak Apr 6, 2024, 11:02 AM

#

if you want sure

little locust Apr 6, 2024, 11:03 AM

#

main bot file
https://paste.pythondiscord.com/UNGA
logging file
https://paste.pythondiscord.com/4QMA

there ye go

inland oak Apr 6, 2024, 11:03 AM

#

inland oak since you're using `@commands.has_permissions()` then you could use: ```py # Re...

personally i don't use an error method like this with ctx.author.guild_permissions
so i'd recommend you use the example i gave above to help you in your main bot file.

this, in my opinion, is the better way of informing the author of permission errors, command cooldown, missing role, user input error etc

inland oak Apr 6, 2024, 11:04 AM

#

little locust - main bot file https://paste.pythondiscord.com/UNGA - logging file https://pa...

i'll have a quick look through

little locust Apr 6, 2024, 11:04 AM

#

mhm

inland oak Apr 6, 2024, 11:06 AM

#

again, in your logging file, this will be checking the permissions of the bot not the command author/user

if not ctx.guild.me.guild_permissions.manage_channels:
            await ctx.send(":prayer_failed: | You are missing the `manage_channels` permission.")
            return

little locust Apr 6, 2024, 11:07 AM

#

but i do be needing that the user

inland oak Apr 6, 2024, 11:08 AM

#

?

little locust Apr 6, 2024, 11:08 AM

#

that is for the user

#

not for the bot

inland oak Apr 6, 2024, 11:08 AM

#

that is ctx.guild.me

#

this refers to the bot, not the command author

little locust Apr 6, 2024, 11:08 AM

#

oh

#

well i had it like that this whole time

#

@inland oak mind dming me and helping me in the discord server with the bot cause someone is keep going afk and i cant test

inland oak Apr 6, 2024, 11:10 AM

#

alright
