Problems with getting message attachment

[candid canyon]

Code:

    @commands.command()
    async def quoteit(self, message):

        source_image = Image.open(message.attachment[0].url)
        transparent_image = Image.open("transparent_image.png").resize(source_image.size)
        mask = Image.open("quote_mask.png").size(source_image.size)

        output_image = Image.composite(source_image, transparent_image, mask)
        message_picture = disnake.File(output_image)
        await message.send(file=message_picture)

Error:

  File "F:\...\cogs\utils.py", line 13, in quoteit
    source_image = Image.open(message.attachments[0].url)
                              ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
AttributeError: 'Context' object has no attribute 'attachments'

Already tried attachment, attachments and still getting this error.

Command looks like:

.quoteit
*image*

ctx.message gives Message

You're receiving a Context object, it doesn't have attachments directly

What it does have is a message reference, which does have attachments

Another thing is that you're passing an url to image.open, how's that supposed to work

[candid canyon]

ok

[candid canyon]

btw, is there any way to let me upload image (as message attachement) but not url?

without saving it

[brave cedar]

Do you need to do something to the image before uploading?

If not, attachments have a .to_file method

[candid canyon]

Recieving image from user's message
Editing it with pillow

[candid canyon]

when im trying to upload message with attachment, is saying "recieving blah blah blah but not Image"

ctx.send(file=variable)

[brave cedar]

Well then you'd more less do

• await Attachment.read() to receive bytes
• pass the bytes to io.BytesIO to get an in-memory file
• Image.open the file
• do whatever edits you need
• Image.save into another io.BytesIO (remember to .seek(0))
• pass that into disnake.File
• upload the file

[candid canyon]

oh, bytes

okay...

[brave cedar]

A bit involved process but it is what it is...

io.BytesIO works as an adapter

Since there's no PIL method to create an image directly from bytes

Same for saving

[candid canyon]

Ok

[candid canyon]

okay, im almost here

but by some reason it's black but not transparent

(overlay image is full transparent)

(it's PNG)

[brave cedar]

You probably used a method which isn't alpha-aware

[candid canyon]

okay, it;s working

(sometimes AI good for trouble-shooting when worst to write code)
