async_init was never awaited

Hey! Once your issue is solved, press the button below to close this thread!

The cleanest thing to do would be to run this code after you listen to the Startup event

[frigid idol]

can you show what you mean?

[lime salmon]

you listen to the Startup event directly in your cog

and when the event is fired, you can initialize all your class variables

[frigid idol]

but Startup is only run once and not on ext init

right?

[lime salmon]

startup is fired once

but you can have multiple listeners to it

one in main file, one in a cog, etc...

[frigid idol]

im still confused why the code is giving that error tho

thats what the example shows

[frigid idol]

i just plan on having to reload this extension a lot while im making it

[lime salmon]

because that's not how to use create_task apparently

use asyncio.run() instead

[frigid idol]

so that page of the docs is outdated?

https://interactions-py.github.io/interactions.py/Guides/20 Extensions/#asynchronous-initialization

[lime salmon]

recommended way to do it

[frigid idol]

but thats entirely diff than init

2 diff purposes right?

[lime salmon]

then use this

[frigid idol]

so confirming that bit is outdated?

[lime salmon]

idk

have you read the warning just below create_task?

[frigid idol]

oh shit

in my defense i was really tired but still coding yesterday 😅
