Running add_reaction outside await function

[lone ocean]

Hi. My schedule doest support Async, so i want to run await without async. Im using: bot.loop.create_task(moji.add_reaction(":one:")) Now it doesn't work for add_reaction. It it possible to do? I really like the scheduler tbh.
Schedule code: schedule.every().day.at("09:52").do(get_question)

How come it doesn't work

[lone ocean]

AttributeError: '_asyncio.Task' object has no attribute 'add_reaction'

moji =  bot.loop.create_task(bot.get_channel(979395372214538304).send(embed=embed))
if get_random_poll[3] != "None":
       bot.loop.create_task(moji.add_reaction("1️⃣"))

= AttributeError: '_asyncio.Task' object has no attribute 'add_reaction'

why are u creating a task to get a channel?

[lone ocean]

Is a await functionn

[rich oar]

oh thats sending

[lone ocean]

Yeah, combination haha

[rich oar]

u just not using async or something?

[lone ocean]

I use schedule, that doesnt support Async stuff

schedule.every().day.at("18:30").do(get_question)
get_question is the function, cant add await before it

[rich oar]

why not use a async scheduler

[lone ocean]

i tried https://pypi.org/project/aioschedule/

But did not run, even the demo on that page doesnt work

[cerulean hinge]

uh, get channel is sync

fetch is async

you don't need a task to use get_channel here

[lone ocean]

Ah okey

[lone ocean]

But issue with add_reaction stays

There isnt a work around?

[lone ocean]

Its also sending the message btw

[cerulean hinge]

your issue is that create_task returns an asyncio.Task, not whatever the coroutine inside returns

just make a helper function that does all three things (get emoji, send embed, add reaction), then call that one function inside a task

[lone ocean]

Ah okey, will try that later when i'm behind the pc again!

[smoky agate]

Or get an async scheduler

:)

[cerulean hinge]

^

[rich oar]

apscheduler

[smoky agate]

Because working with .create_task within sync context is pain

[cerulean hinge]

using an async scheduler will be better in the long run anyways

Check!
