cog loaded but slash command not available

[near thicket]

I am recursively loading cog files (its just one for testing) and the cog file is reported as loaded, however the command does not show up in discord. Trying to add a command without cog makes it show up instantly.

@bot.event
async def on_ready():
    # await bot.sync_commands(force=True, check_guilds=bot.debug_guilds)
    print(f"[-] We have logged in as {bot.user}")
    for guild in await bot.fetch_guilds(limit=150).flatten():
        print(f"[-] {guild.name} ({guild.id})")

    try:
        ret = bot.load_extensions("cogs.enabled", recursive=True)
        for cog in ret:
            print(f"[✓] Loaded {cog}")
        
    except Exception as e:
        print(f"[x] Failed to load cogs")
        print(f"[!] Error: {e}")

@bot.command() # this works
async def eeeerrr(self):
    raise Exception("This is an error")

returns

[✓] Loaded cogs.enabled.util.userinfo

the cog file contents is this example cog from pycord:

is your cog exactly the same as the example?

[near thicket]

no, i removed the id=[] thing to make it valid

[abstract shore]

also, do you override the on_connect event?

[near thicket]

no

Checklist for Application Commands Not Showing Up:
• Does your bot have the application.commands scope?
• Are you loading cogs before on_ready and on_connect?
• Is on_connect not overridden?
• Did you update to the newest version of py-cord (tag: install)?
• Is User Settings > Accessibility > Chat Input > Use legacy chat input turned off?
• Did you share your code and errors?
• Do you still have libraries that conflict with the discord namespace (e.g. discord.py)?

oh right. 2nd point

[near thicket]

Are you loading cogs before on_ready and on_connect?

yeah

i could have sworn that it used to work

[abstract shore]

it worked for prefix cmds

but since slash cmds are discord end, they need to be registered

[near thicket]

yeah i guess so, allthough i have currently bots that also load cogs inside on_ready

just not recursive

hm

well, i found the solution so thank you!
