🔒 discord.py Modals - "Something went wrong, try again."

[ionic sage]

The code:

@bot.command()
async def team_setup(message):
    view = View()
    setup_btn = Button(label="Setup", style=discord.ButtonStyle.green, emoji="🛠️")
    view.add_item(setup_btn)

    setup_modal = Modal(title="Team Setup")
    setup_modal.add_item(TextInput(label="Team Name", placeholder="Example: Luigi Destroyers FC", max_length=20))

    async def button_callback(interaction):
        await interaction.response.send_modal(setup_modal)

    async def on_submit(interaction: discord.Interaction):
        await message.channel.send(setup_modal.children[0].value)

    setup_modal.on_submit = on_submit
    setup_btn.callback = button_callback

    await message.channel.send("Setup your team to get started", view=view)

So you run the team_setup command, and then it responds with a button, you click it, and then a modal pops up. Once you submit the modal, it says "Something went wrong, try again."

await message.channel.send(setup_modal.children[0].value)

It does post what I entered in the modal after submitting. However, it doesn't exit the modal and instead shows the error.

Please ping me if you need anything

use interaction.response.send_message instead of message.channel.send

[ionic sage]

whats the difference?

[vital surge]

interactions must be responded to, otherwise discord will think something went wrong

you didn't respond to the interaction here so it thinks something went wrong

[ionic sage]

ooh okay

[vital surge]

interaction.response.* methods all respond to an interaction

[ionic sage]
