🔒 List of members with a specific role

[cold quarry]

i'm trying to get a list of members with a specific role, here is what i'm attempting

            await discord.Guild.get_role(1334390638120276010)
            print(discord.Role.members)```
i keep getting this error:
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "C:\Python\Python311\site-packages\discord\client.py", line 449, in _run_event
    await coro(*args, **kwargs)
  File "c:\main.py", line 5771, in on_message
    await discord.Guild.get_role(1334390638120276010)
          ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

well, you want to get the guild first, as get_role is a method of that
then, when you get your guild, call get_role on it, that will return the role, and the role has a members attribute
as you currently have the print, im not sure how do you expect it to print the members of the role you get above. do you just magically expect it to understand that you're referring to it?
you'd want something like

guild = client.get_guild(guild_id)
role = await guild.get_role(role_id)
print(role.members)

[cold quarry]

how do i do that

oh lmao

[acoustic reef]

also, uh, why do you have.. 6K lines in a single main.py in the root of your drive?
did you by any chance start programming the bot without any programming knowledge

[acoustic reef]

oh, its not a coroutine, you can remove the await then

[cold quarry]

yeah i worked that out LOL

[cold quarry]

so it printed []

is the list just empty?

[acoustic reef]

well yeah thats how an empty list is represented

[cold quarry]

yeah but 3 people have the role

thats why im confused

[acoustic reef]

do you have intents.members enabled?

[cold quarry]

how do i check?

ah maybe not?

do i just do intents.members = True in the bot setup?

[acoustic reef]

yep

[cold quarry]

uh oh

that broke a lot of things uhh

[acoustic reef]

"broke" how? is there an error message? then you should share it

[cold quarry]

yes MANY error messages...

it says to enable it here though https://discord.com/developers/applications/

[acoustic reef]

ah, you didnt enable the members intent in the discord bot thingy itself
well, seems like you figured it out yourself :) reading errors is useful

[cold quarry]

yeah where is that lol i cant find it

[acoustic reef]

seems like Bot > Privileged Gateway Intents > Server Members Intent
not sure if you'll also need to regenerate the oauth2 invite with it 🤷 havent really dealt with discord bots in a while

[cold quarry]

ah ty

i dont think so since its on the bot itself and not the auth? idk tho

dang maybe

it still prints []

nvm all is good now

didnt need to regenerate it

thanks dude appreciate the help
