• Explain what you expect to happen and what actually happens.

i created the virtual environment i believe, but my errors are still present and it wont run the bot 😭

[snow crane]

your terminal commands are not inside the venv but inside the global python

[coral comet]

Yeah you need to source your virtual environment before you run pip install commands or you're installing to the global python

[pearl verge]

ahhh okay that makes sense

let me check something

[pearl verge]

okay so just to make sure im doing this right, i right-clicked the errror and set the interpreter to the venv one

is that the correct way to do it, cuz its still giving me errors so im assuming its not how u do it

[snow crane]

do you ses (venv) in your terminal ?

[coral comet]

This, but make sure you open a new terminal

[pearl verge]

this right?

[coral comet]

Yeah you got it

[pearl verge]

it just showed up

ahh okay so what about the errors? do i ignore?

[snow crane]

now try to install again the package

[pearl verge]

alr one moment

[pearl verge]

holy ur amazing thank you SO much

alr let me fix the extensions real quick and ill be back

[pearl verge]

ah another thing, it wont let me run without debugging, is there a way to disable that

[snow crane]

what do you mean ?

when you press run it starts the debugger ?

[pearl verge]

it tells me to select a debugger

ill ss

[snow crane]

when does it tell you this ?

[pearl verge]

after i press "run without debugging"

[pearl verge]

i used to be able to run it without debugging

but now it just does that 😭

[snow crane]

there is a small arrow next to the run button

click it and you'll see a dropdown menu like that

[pearl verge]

ohh okay

[pearl verge]

okay so for some reason it doesnt run the bot

its still offline

but gives me this when i pressed run python file

[snow crane]

at least it is a progress

[pearl verge]

true

[snow crane]

so idk anything about discord bot so if anyone wanna give a hand

[pearl verge]

tysm for all the help, i did learn something ^^

[snow crane]

np

[pearl verge]

if anyone else can help, these are my current issues!

• bot wont go online after running it
• help with hosting my bot on a free hosting site (i cannot pay for one, please dont suggest that)

my code: https://paste.pythondiscord.com/IAKA

bump

[coral comet]

Not sure if the bot that locks the threads takes into account the OP bumping their own thread, but it won't lock as long as there's a reply within an hour. And even if it does lock you can just open a new one.

You may also want to rename the thread now that the issue to be solved has changed.

[pearl verge]

yesyes will do, also i wasnt sure so thank you for letting me know ^^

bot won't go online after running

[coral comet]

Also I would help with your issue but I don't know too much about discord bot programming. Hopefully the new thread title will get the attention of someone who knows more than I do about the subject.

[pearl verge]

thats alright, thank you for everything you could tell me though :)

[pearl verge]

@opal dagger sorry for the ping, i just know u helped me the first time with my code! my bot wont go online when i run it, is there anything you think could be the issue?

when i ran the bot, it gives this in terminal! shows a red thingy beside where it states my token, heres a screenshot of where i tell the code to state the token whenever i run it

[opal dagger]

Code looks fine, though you should probably remove the thing that prints out the token

[pearl verge]

alright, would there be a reason the bots not coming online though?

[errant thicket]

Your process seems to have stopped itself

[opal dagger]

According to the outputs it is connecting, but the way you're running it is a bit odd

looks like this is powershell?

[pearl verge]

im in the python terminal

[opal dagger]

inside of a venv

[pearl verge]

how do i turn that off 😭

cuz i was trying to set my environment

[errant thicket]

You don't need to turn it off

Can you try running it again

[pearl verge]

sure

[pearl verge]

thats so odd, its online now 😭

idk what i did that fixed it, but i did remove the token thingy

[errant thicket]

it should be because of vscode abruptly stopped ur program to run the venv activate script

[errant thicket]

You can see it in the first pic

[pearl verge]

gotcha, i didnt even realize that

[opal dagger]

It's definitely the environment. I can run the same code just fine locally

[pearl verge]

now i just need to host my bot 😭 im gonna find the one soph suggested

ty guys sm! ill lyk if i need anything else
