🔒 Is this code right? I'm getting error messages and I'm not sure what the issue is.

[high loom]

Code:
`import discord
import os
from dotenv import load_dotenv

load_dotenv()
TOKEN = os.getenv('TOKEN')

client = discord.Client(intents= discord.Intents.default())Output: [2024-10-21 11:28:26] [INFO ] discord.client: logging in using static token
[2024-10-21 11:28:28] [INFO ] discord.gateway: Shard ID None has connected to Gateway (Session ID: {redacted bc idk what this is}).
transient_frnd#4810 has connected to Discord.`

Also the code is still running?

Yeah I don't know if my computer is just slower than a corpse or this is supposed to happen because it's still running

[dark slate]

Those aren't error messages. So its running

[high loom]

oh, I must have messed up the colour scheme when I was setting up the IDE

[dark slate]

colors have nothing to do with error messages

[high loom]

Is it still running because it's slow or it's just going to stay this way?

[high loom]

I set up the IDE so error messages are in red

[dark slate]

Its slow probably cuz of your machine specs is not enough to handle it.

[dark slate]

Where are the red error messages? Show a screenshot

[high loom]

sounds about right. So should I just wait or should I end the process? It's been like this for a while lol

[dark slate]

yea thats not an error. You can (kinda) clearly see that the log line on each says INFO

[dark slate]

If you end the process, the bot will go offline. The idea is that the bot stays online on a separate terminal/process. Ideally, a server to keep the bot online.

So its really up to you.

[high loom]

Oh I see. alright thanks, I'll just open a different file and keep working on it

appreciate it!

[dark slate]

np

[high loom]

I have a bit of a stupid question, does the bot need to be online to work on the server, or just while I'm working on it? Am i going to need to run this code every time I want to start working on the bot?

[dark slate]

yes and no

yes you need the bot online so you can see it working. No, you don't need the bot to always be online while you're working on it.

[high loom]

hmm okay, so for the bot to be working on the discord server, interacting with members and such, it has to be online? Meaning this code has to be running on the machine indefinitely to be doing its job?

[dark slate]

💯

That's right

[high loom]

oh wow

thanks for explaining, appreciate it a lot!

ill get a server lol

[high loom]

this sounds sarcastic for some reason, but is genuine
