I thought the issue was the bot not being in an Extension file

moved ...voice.channel.connect() to t_music but it still doesn't work with the same error 😔

[unborn wharf]

bump

[unborn wharf]

I've upgraded to 3.13 because of a specific changelog message (I was using 3.11)

and it still hasn't fixed the issue.

the exact same error

from interactions import *
from music.music import *
class NotMusic(Extension):
    @slash_command()
    @slash_option('t', 'test', OptionType.STRING, required=True)
    async def music_test(self, ctx: SlashContext, t: str):
        
        await ctx.defer()
        
        await ctx.send('downloading track')
        
        await add_search(t, ctx)
        
        wtf_is_going_on = get_queue(ctx)[0]
        
        if wtf_is_going_on.error == TrackError.PROCESSING:
            return await ctx.send('you fucked up man im sorry')
        
        await ctx.send(f'found **{wtf_is_going_on.title}**')
        
        print(self.bot._connection_state)
        
        if not ctx.voice_state:
            await ctx.author.voice.channel.connect()
        
        await play_track(self, ctx)
        
        await ctx.send('Finished downloading track :)')

this is my code

[unborn wharf]

client._connection_state is always None and I don't know why

[gleaming charm]

Can I see your intents?

[unborn wharf]

I tried adding Intents.GUILD_VOICE_STATE and it still doesn't work

[gleaming charm]

Can you throw down a listener for https://interactions-py.github.io/interactions.py/API Reference/API Reference/events/discord/#interactions.api.events.discord.VoiceStateUpdate and see if it sees anything?

[unborn wharf]

It doesn't get called

specifically, it gets called whenever i join and leave but the bot itself doesn't call it

[signal blade]

Just confirm how did you install the lib?

[unborn wharf]

"interactions.py" = "*"
"discord.py-interactions[voice]" = "*"
audioop-lts = "*"

I have these in my pipfile

running pip confirms these installations

[signal blade]

try to reupdate the library

[unborn wharf]

the library is already at it's latest version

[unborn wharf]

any updates on this??

im still stuck in this issue

[teal yoke]

i went through the code with debugger

and noticed that it sets _connection_state to None in AutoShardedClient interactions/client/auto_shard_client.py

we are using that

[teal yoke]

i changed it to just Client and it works now - but it's not idea

[unborn wharf]

that makes sense

idk why we even have the autoshardedclient we're not nearly in enough servers to warrant that 😭
