cant disable cog

[haughty topaz]

if i make task.loop for my cog and then stop/delete this cog It still continues to be updated
And if I reload the cog, it starts task.loop 2 times
Because of this, my cog is updated about 2 times per second after I have restarted many times, as well as a very strong spam in the console about rate limits, as a result, I can't stop it in any way because I'm not at home and if I turn off the bot, I won't be able to turn it back on

any ideas how i cab make thing in my command when i restart/delete cog it stops current task.loop?

You need to stop/cancel the task in cog_unload or something

[haughty topaz]

I thought about doing a check on what kind of cog it is, and if it's a cog with task.loop, then it was disabled in the script, but then the command is not automated, because you have to manually check what kind of cog it is, and every time you create a new task.loop, when you create a new task.loop, you will need to change the command

isn't "teardown" method was created for this?

[daring oak]

that's for the extension yes

cog_unload is for inside the cog

[daring oak]

What

[haughty topaz]

how to i use this?

[daring oak]

Are you creating tasks dynamically

[haughty topaz]

I can add 5 more task.loop in a day, but I will also have to add them separately to the command to disable the cog so that it disables their task.loop

[daring oak]

Wdym add to command

[haughty topaz]

I don't want the command to take up a million lines of code because of this

[daring oak]

Most people do something like this

class MyCog(Cog):
    def __init__(self, ...):
        # START TASK when loading
        self.my_task.start()

    def cog_unload(self):
        # STOP TASK when unloading
        self.my_task.stop()

    @tasks.loop(...)
    async def my_task(self):
        ...

[haughty topaz]

and i can stop like:

from cogs import task_loop_cog

def func(bot):
	 task_loop_cog(bot).cog_unload()```?

[twin burrow]

its in docs

how you handle cancelation etc

[twin burrow]

it's gonna be called automatically

[daring oak]

^^

[twin burrow]

when you do .unload or .reload extension

[daring oak]

You can get the cog and stop the task manually if you want but why

cog = bot.get_cog("ClassName")
cog.my_task.stop()

Not create a new instance, that'll run everything again
