I get this error instead, when I change get to fetch

you should await it

await the fetch

Yes

full error?

#

also, if you only want to send a message, you should use partial channel object

#

instead of fetching the channel

#

fetching the channel is over the api. which is a slow process

#

- channel = bot.fetch_channel(123)
+ channel = bot.get_partial_messageable(123)

#

thats all

can you show on_command_error

frigid spade can you show on_command_error

What's that? Apologies for the ignorance, I'm very new to this

#

snow raft What's that? Apologies for the ignorance, I'm very new to this

Oh nvm ignore that message

#

Till what line does the code run?

#

Add a few print lines, or use a debugger

snow raft Jul 12, 2023, 7:05 PM

#

until await target_channel.send(embed=embed)

#

That's where it kicks the bucket

frigid spade Jul 12, 2023, 7:08 PM

#

hmm

frigid spade Jul 12, 2023, 7:09 PM

can you show pip list output

snow raft Jul 12, 2023, 7:09 PM

That's a lot, get ready xd

Maybe if you have a code snippet that you know works I can import it and check if it works with me as well

frigid spade Jul 12, 2023, 7:26 PM

#

oh wow

#

you should uninstall these

discordpy-antispam      1.0.3
disnake                 2.9.0

also, consider a venv

Deinstalled those and reinstalled pycord, same error message 😅

After you uninstalled them, did you reinstall py-cord?

If not, uninstall & reinstall

snow raft Jul 12, 2023, 7:50 PM

I did

white estuary Jul 12, 2023, 8:06 PM

show your pip list

again

snow raft Jul 12, 2023, 8:07 PM

I'm back at my computer in an hour or so

This must be the programmer equivalent of have you try turning it off and on again lol

Yeah still doesn't work

What is MissingSential pointing to?

#

Whats the code

snow raft Jul 12, 2023, 8:38 PM

#

white estuary What is MissingSential pointing to?

discord.utils I believe, if that's what you mean

#

I also get this when printing the target_channel variable, maybe this might help? <discord.channel.PartialMessageable object at 0x00000182FDEDBDF0>

white estuary Jul 12, 2023, 8:41 PM

snow raft I also get this when printing the target_channel variable, maybe this might help...

You should be fetching channels by [self.]bot.get_channel(id) with self if you’re using cogs

#

Like
Channel = bot.get_channel(284848229299494)
