Persistent View With Member

[patent cairn]

So I'm trying to make a persistent view with a added member and this is what I've tried

    @commands.slash_command()
    async def button(self, ctx: discord.ApplicationContext):
        member = ctx.author
        view = MyView(member)
        await ctx.respond(f"Press the button!")
        await ctx.send("View:", view=view)

    @commands.Cog.listener()
    async def on_ready(self):
        self.bot.add_view(MyView(self))

class MyView(discord.ui.View):
    def __init__(self, member):
        super().__init__(timeout=None) # timeout of the view must be set to None
        self.member = member

    @discord.ui.button(label="A button", custom_id="button-1", style=discord.ButtonStyle.primary, emoji=":sunglasses:") # the button has a custom_id set
    async def button_callback(self, button, interaction: discord.Interaction):
            await interaction.response.send_message(f"{self.member} sent you this view!", ephemeral=True)

It works when I use the command and press the button but it doesn't work when I restart the bot and use it again it returns
<test.Test object at 0x00000188F0C28280> sent you this view

store the member as an ID and fetch/get the member

the persistent view works it's just after I press the button after the bot restarts I get this

I also tried member = await self.bot.fetch_user(str(self.author))

how are you storing it

[dapper timber]

You are trying to pass the cog in as a member.

  @commands.Cog.listener()
    async def on_ready(self):
        self.bot.add_view(MyView(self))

class MyView(discord.ui.View):
    def __init__(self, member):

MyView should only take a member object. So in the on_ready you will need to pass the member object of the member you want

You will almost certainly need. A storage system such as a database or the built in python storage system that I cant remember :/

aiosqlite will work right?

[dapper timber]
