View times outs even when I responded to it

[unreal carbon]

This has never happened to me, but this view is timing out even when I respond to it by editing the message.

view class:

class SongSelectView(discord.ui.View):
    def __init__(self):
        super().__init__(timeout=60)

    async def on_timeout(self):
        await self.message.edit(content=f"{emotes.error} You took too long to select a song!", view=None, delete_after=20)```

In my callback I use interaction.response.edit_message and then I send a followup. The interaction was clearly responded cause if I attempt to change the followup to a interaction.response.send_message it raises the already responded error.

I am using 2.3.2

Still happens If i downgrade to 2.3.0

Clarify. What doesn't work. What should happen. What actually happens

[unreal carbon]

on_timeout executes even if i responded to the interaction

When it shouldn't

[polar trail]

when does the on_timeout trigger?

immediately after the response?

[unreal carbon]

After the set seconds

Which is 30

[polar trail]

30 seconds after interaction or after initialization?

[unreal carbon]

Initialization

[polar trail]

Could you send full SongSelectView code?

[unreal carbon]

That's the code. The select gets added manually

I can send it in a sec

[polar trail]

ah that's the issue

[unreal carbon]

Oh?

[polar trail]

the view is not aware that it has any children.

that sounded weird out of context

[unreal carbon]

Should adding it on the init fix it?

Or

[polar trail]

it should.

[unreal carbon]

Thanks. Will try

@polar trail didnt work

def __init__(self, select):
        super().__init__(timeout=30)
        self.add_item(select)```

view = SongSelectView(SongSelect(
                        self.client, tracks[:5], ctx.author))```

[solid bane]

because the view can still timeout even if you respond

if you don't want on_timeout to trigger, you should run self.stop() in your callback

[unreal carbon]

Wth

[polar trail]

this is why I asked this

[solid bane]

https://docs.pycord.dev/en/master/api/ui_kit.html#discord.ui.View.on_timeout

A callback that is called when a view’s timeout elapses without being explicitly stopped.

[unreal carbon]

I see then

[solid bane]

though do note that this will, as implied, stop the view from functioning at all; if you don't want to stop the view, perhaps instead add another self variable which is edited in the callback, then you can check this in on_timeout

[unreal carbon]

You mean giving the select an attribute and then checking it on timeout?

Well, the attribute thing was a nice workaround. Thanks
