hallo i wanted an command to be compatible on a prefix and slash but it somehow stops my bot here's the command

@bot.command(name="watch")
@bot.slash_command(name="watch", description="Search for a movie/show and get a watch link.")
async def watch(ctx_or_interaction, *, query=None):
 
    
    if isinstance(ctx_or_interaction, nextcord.Interaction):
        if query is None:
            await ctx_or_interaction.response.send_message("❌ Please provide a search query.", ephemeral=True)
            return
        is_slash = True
    else:
        is_slash = False

    result = await search_tmdb(query)
    if not result:
        if is_slash:
            await ctx_or_interaction.response.send_message("❌ No results found", ephemeral=True)
        else:
            await ctx_or_interaction.send("❌ No results found")
        return

    watch_link, poster_url, title, rating, release_date = result
    embed = nextcord.Embed(title=f"🎬 {title}", color=nextcord.Color.blue(), url=watch_link)

    if poster_url:
        embed.set_image(url=poster_url)

    embed.add_field(name="Rating", value=f" ⭐ {rating}/10", inline=True)
    embed.add_field(name="🗓️ Release Date", value=release_date, inline=True)
    embed.add_field(name="🤸🏻 Watch Now", value=f"[Click here]({watch_link})", inline=False)

    if is_slash:
        await ctx_or_interaction.response.send_message(embed=embed)
    else:
        await ctx_or_interaction.send(embed=embed)
        ```

it should be something like:

@bot.command(name="watch")
async def watch_prefix(ctx, *, query=None):
    # code


@bot.slash_command(name="watch", description="Search for a movie/show and get a watch link.")
async def watch(interaction, query: str = nextcord.SlashOption(required=True)):    
    result = await search_tmdb(query)
    if not result:
        await interaction.response.send_message(":x: No results found", ephemeral=True)
        return

    watch_link, poster_url, title, rating, release_date = result
    embed = nextcord.Embed(title=f":clapper: {title}", color=nextcord.Color.blue(), url=watch_link)

    if poster_url:
        embed.set_image(url=poster_url)

    embed.add_field(name="Rating", value=f" :star: {rating}/10", inline=True)
    embed.add_field(name=":calendar_spiral: Release Date", value=release_date, inline=True)
    embed.add_field(name=":person_doing_cartwheel_tone1: Watch Now", value=f"[Click here]({watch_link})", inline=False)
    await interaction.response.send_message(embed=embed)
#

code for prefix/slash commands should be separated

thanks for help

modest ether
#

and it's recommended to use slash commands, as discord has strict limits for message content intent

You can also create one method and call it from both commands if you just wanted the logic once

#

Although be aware that ctx and interaction objects are different
