Can you show a screenshot of your VSCode and terminal?

vapid oxide Can you show a screenshot of your VSCode and terminal?

vapid oxide Apr 10, 2025, 2:32 AM

#

sharp dove

oh ok. If you click in the terminal and hit CTRL + C, what happens?

vapid oxide Apr 10, 2025, 2:33 AM

#

sharp dove

oh hang on, you're using the debug play button instead of typing a command

sharp dove Apr 10, 2025, 2:33 AM

#

vapid oxide oh ok. If you click in the terminal and hit `CTRL + C`, what happens?

nothing at all happens

vapid oxide Apr 10, 2025, 2:34 AM

#

What happens if you stop the run, then type py bot.py in your terminal and hit enter, then CTRL + C?

#

@sharp dove

sharp dove Apr 10, 2025, 2:35 AM

#

#

same thing

#

no output at all in any way shape or form no matter what i click in the terminal

vapid oxide Apr 10, 2025, 2:36 AM

#

You'll probably need to check your keybinding settings

#

CTRL + SHIFT + P to open up your Command Pallete

#

Type "Keyboard Shortcuts"

#

press enter

Hey @sharp dove!

Please edit your message to use a code block

Add a py after the three backticks.

```py
print('Hello, world!')
```

This will result in the following:

print('Hello, world!')```

Can you also share what extensions you've installed on VSCode @sharp dove ?

sharp dove Apr 10, 2025, 2:38 AM

#

vapid oxide Can you also share what extensions you've installed on VSCode <@4562265777981358...

vapid oxide Apr 10, 2025, 2:38 AM

#

sharp dove

ok thats fine

bleak wasp Apr 10, 2025, 2:38 AM

#

you need to share your code

#

most importantly where you call client.run

sharp dove Apr 10, 2025, 2:38 AM

#

vapid oxide Then search for `workbench.action.terminal.kill`

this would just kill the whole terminal and not interrupt it, no?

sharp dove Apr 10, 2025, 2:39 AM

#

bleak wasp you need to share your code

hold on

reef quarry Apr 10, 2025, 2:39 AM

#

this feels like something is catching KeyboardInterrupt for some reason pithink

bleak wasp Apr 10, 2025, 2:40 AM

#

and thats why we need to see your code

sharp dove Apr 10, 2025, 2:40 AM

#

#

ye its code related id guess

#

cuz

bleak wasp Apr 10, 2025, 2:40 AM

#

it's not vscode's fault

sharp dove Apr 10, 2025, 2:40 AM

#

yea figured

#

idk what code to share,

bleak wasp Apr 10, 2025, 2:41 AM

#

the KeyboardInterrupt is definitely being caught and ignored by your code, you need to share your code so we can tell you where this is happening

sharp dove Apr 10, 2025, 2:41 AM

#

hold on can i screenshare for u

#

rq

#

?

reef quarry Apr 10, 2025, 2:41 AM

#

sharp dove hold on can i screenshare for u

why

bleak wasp Apr 10, 2025, 2:41 AM

#

no please just send the code as text

reef quarry Apr 10, 2025, 2:41 AM

#

!paste

sharp dove Apr 10, 2025, 2:41 AM

#

alright

#

the whole bot.py?

vapid oxide Apr 10, 2025, 2:41 AM

#

yes

bleak wasp Apr 10, 2025, 2:41 AM

#

most likely, the issue is around wherever you call bot.run()

reef quarry Apr 10, 2025, 2:42 AM

#

sharp dove the whole bot.py?

if its over 100 lines long send it using paste link please

sharp dove Apr 10, 2025, 2:42 AM

#

https://paste.pythondiscord.com/YWXQ

#

bot.run is just

bleak wasp Apr 10, 2025, 2:42 AM

#

where do you run the bot

sharp dove Apr 10, 2025, 2:42 AM

#

my token within it

#

under that

#

bot.run("token")

bleak wasp Apr 10, 2025, 2:44 AM

#

if it's really just that, then the problem doesn't appear to be here

#

I wonder what is in database

#

also just to be clear, you are using discord.py and not some derivative library right

sharp dove Apr 10, 2025, 2:46 AM

#

yes

#

import aiosqlite

sharp dove Apr 10, 2025, 2:46 AM

#

these r the ones

vapid oxide Apr 10, 2025, 2:47 AM

#

I don't see anything in the code that would override a KeyboardInterrupt event

reef quarry Apr 10, 2025, 2:47 AM

#

it would also work if something was catching BaseException for some reason

vapid oxide Apr 10, 2025, 2:47 AM

#

Can I get all of the files @sharp dove ? I'd like to try and run this myself and see if I get the same issue

sharp dove Apr 10, 2025, 2:48 AM

#

sure

bleak wasp Apr 10, 2025, 2:48 AM

#

bleak wasp I wonder what is in `database`

Can you please share the database

#

I'm suspecting that you probably have some threads that aren't closing

sharp dove Apr 10, 2025, 2:49 AM

#

bleak wasp Can you please share the database

yea i havent even looked at it, don't have a db viewer either

bleak wasp Apr 10, 2025, 2:49 AM

#

no

#

i mean when you run import database

#

what's that

#

because discord.py drops KeyboardInterrupts and assumes that asyncio will deal with it

floral iceBOT Apr 10, 2025, 2:49 AM

#

discord/client.py lines 905 to 911

try:
    asyncio.run(runner())
except KeyboardInterrupt:
    # nothing to do here
    # `asyncio.run` handles the loop cleanup
    # and `self.start` closes all sockets and the HTTPClient instance.
    return```

bleak wasp Apr 10, 2025, 2:50 AM

#

but asyncio won't deal with threads

sharp dove Apr 10, 2025, 2:50 AM

#

from database import DatabaseManager

#

this is

#

all in bot.py

#

idk where it imports it otherwise

vapid oxide Apr 10, 2025, 2:50 AM

#

sharp dove from database import DatabaseManager

is there not a database.py file?

reef quarry Apr 10, 2025, 2:50 AM

#

do u have a database.py

vapid oxide Apr 10, 2025, 2:50 AM

#

or a database folder?

#

Is bot.py the only thing you have?

bleak wasp Apr 10, 2025, 2:51 AM

#

it's a folder

#

sharp dove Apr 10, 2025, 2:51 AM

#

https://paste.pythondiscord.com/YSHQ

#

nah

#

here

vapid oxide Apr 10, 2025, 2:51 AM

#

sharp dove https://paste.pythondiscord.com/YSHQ

Is there like a Github repo that have all of these files so I can clone and test it out properly?

sharp dove Apr 10, 2025, 2:52 AM

#

yeah

vapid oxide Apr 10, 2025, 2:52 AM

#

sharp dove

Looks like that there's a bunch of files here

sharp dove Apr 10, 2025, 2:52 AM

#

was just gonna zip it

vapid oxide Apr 10, 2025, 2:52 AM

#

Can you share the repo?

sharp dove Apr 10, 2025, 2:52 AM

#

it is

#

#

it's just all thats in it

bleak wasp Apr 10, 2025, 2:52 AM

#

can you share your cogs

#

the issue is probably in one of those

Tried it. Yeah something is blocking the CTRL + C here

#

But I think the reason for this is so that it doesn't accidentally get closed while running it

reef quarry Apr 10, 2025, 2:57 AM

#

it seems to be intended to be used with docker ? pithink

#

so instead of ctrl+c ig it wants u to nuke container running bot instead ?

vapid oxide Apr 10, 2025, 2:59 AM

#

reef quarry so instead of ctrl+c ig it wants u to nuke container running bot instead ?

but whats blocking CTRL + C tho?

reef quarry Apr 10, 2025, 3:00 AM

#

¯_(ツ)_/¯

vapid oxide Apr 10, 2025, 3:00 AM

#

Same

sharp dove Apr 10, 2025, 3:00 AM

#

seems pointless blocking it if you're dropping a template for beginners

#

lol

vapid oxide Apr 10, 2025, 3:00 AM

#

I don't see anywhere on how this bot blocks CTRL + C

vapid oxide Apr 10, 2025, 3:00 AM

#

sharp dove seems pointless blocking it if you're dropping a template for beginners

Not entirely

reef quarry Apr 10, 2025, 3:00 AM

#

my bet is the console_handler for logging

vapid oxide Apr 10, 2025, 3:01 AM

#

vapid oxide But I think the reason for this is so that it doesn't accidentally get closed wh...

☝️ potential reason too

reef quarry Apr 10, 2025, 3:01 AM

#

that feels like a prime suspect

sharp dove Apr 10, 2025, 3:01 AM

#

yea but ideally no one would run a bot on their own pc

#

unless ur doing stuff

vapid oxide Apr 10, 2025, 3:01 AM

#

They could

bleak wasp Apr 10, 2025, 3:02 AM

#

I just checked and the issue is the database connection

#

it's never closed

sharp dove Apr 10, 2025, 3:02 AM

#

where would i locate it

#

/ close it

bleak wasp Apr 10, 2025, 3:03 AM

#

if you add

bot = DiscordBot()
bot.run("token")

# add this
import asyncio
asyncio.run(bot.database.connection.close())

then the bot closes correctly

#

the correct way to do this is to make DatabaseManager a context manager

sharp dove Apr 10, 2025, 3:03 AM

#

yup

reef quarry Apr 10, 2025, 3:03 AM

#

ye was about to mention that its weird it isnt one

#

pithink

sharp dove Apr 10, 2025, 3:03 AM

#

thanks a lot

#

you're a goat

bleak wasp Apr 10, 2025, 3:04 AM

#

just for the sake of teaching something, you can figure this out by running python -i bot.py

#

so that you get an interactive terminal after the main file reaches its endd

#

and from there you can inspect the list of running threads

#

>>> for t in threading.enumerate():
...     print(f"Thread: {t.name}, Daemon: {t.daemon}, Alive: {t.is_alive()}")
... 
Thread: MainThread, Daemon: False, Alive: True
Thread: Thread-2, Daemon: False, Alive: True

#

lo and behold, theres a second thread still alive

#

there should only be one

vapid oxide Apr 10, 2025, 3:06 AM

#

Nice detective work @bleak wasp

bleak wasp Apr 10, 2025, 3:06 AM

#

if you look at the database connection

>>> bot.database.connection
<Connection(Thread-2, started 14876)>

#

then you'll see that this connection is also using "Thread-2"

reef quarry Apr 10, 2025, 3:07 AM

#

good to know -i exists

sharp dove Apr 10, 2025, 3:07 AM

#

oh yeah

bleak wasp Apr 10, 2025, 3:07 AM

#

quite useful indeed

reef quarry Apr 10, 2025, 3:07 AM

#

man how have i been doing python for like 7y and i still dont know all the useful tools in a default installation

bleak wasp Apr 10, 2025, 3:07 AM

#

there's always more

sharp dove Apr 10, 2025, 3:08 AM

#

well holy shit, me getting stupidly pissed i gotta click 3 extra buttons thinking it's vs code

#

_^

bleak wasp Apr 10, 2025, 3:08 AM

#

also ive been at it for 10 years so clearly the insight all comes in the next 3

sharp dove Apr 10, 2025, 3:08 AM
