view after bot offline

[hybrid pelican]

Hey, i create a view, but when the bot restarts, the button no longer works, how can you change this? Or are there other possibilities?

Here's the persistent example.

I've tried to follow this example, but my buttons don't seem to be persistent - after restarting the bot, the buttons no longer work.
Code:

import os
import discord
from dotenv import load_dotenv

class PersistentView(discord.ui.View):
    def __init__(self):
        super().__init__(timeout=None)

    @discord.ui.button(label="Green", style=discord.ButtonStyle.green, custom_id="persistent_view:green")
    async def green(self, button: discord.ui.Button, interaction: discord.Interaction):
        await interaction.response.send_message("This is green.", ephemeral=True)

    @discord.ui.button(label="Red", style=discord.ButtonStyle.red, custom_id="persistent_view:red")
    async def red(self, button: discord.ui.Button, interaction: discord.Interaction):
        await interaction.response.send_message("This is red.", ephemeral=True)

    @discord.ui.button(label="Grey", style=discord.ButtonStyle.grey, custom_id="persistent_view:grey")
    async def grey(self, button: discord.ui.Button, interaction: discord.Interaction):
        await interaction.response.send_message("This is grey.", ephemeral=True)

load_dotenv(".env")

intents = discord.Intents.default()
intents.message_content = True

bot = discord.Bot(intents=intents)

@bot.command()
async def prepare(ctx):
    await ctx.respond("test", view=PersistentView())

bot.run(os.getenv("TOKEN"))

you need to add the view to the bot to be persistent. check the example and the guide

examples/views/persistent.py lines 39 to 50

async def on_ready(self):
    if not self.persistent_views_added:
        # Register the persistent view for listening here.
        # Note that this does not send the view to any message.
        # In order to do this you need to first send a message with the View, which is shown below.
        # If you have the message_id you can also pass it as a keyword argument,
        # but for this example we don't have one.
        self.add_view(PersistentView())
        self.persistent_views_added = True

    print(f"Logged in as {self.user} (ID: {self.user.id})")
    print("------")```

I see - I somehow missed the add view part
Can I add the view inside a cog?

as long as it's in on_ready
