Basic Pycord Help

[elfin inlet]

oh okay

[errant trout]

and if you want a dynamic list, then you'd be better off with autocomplete instead of choices

[elfin inlet]

update botrolelist

[little cobalt]

choices it not gonna update without a bot restart

and it got a limit of 25 str

[elfin inlet]

oh

okay then ill just not implement this command as a slash command (im porting a discord.py bot lol) cuz its a mod command anyway

[sage tendon]

yea im not even sure if custom choices support roles tbfh

[elfin inlet]

ignore all the hassle

ignore my awful spelling

[errant trout]

they don't, but you could implement RoleConverter for convenience

[errant trout]

if it's a mod command and you're fine with all roles showing instead of a specific list, you could make it a discord.Role option

depends on your goals i suppose

[elfin inlet]

nah its a specific list

im just gonna make it a string input and check if theres a role in the list with that name :/

[sage tendon]

this really just shows the stupid limits and weaknesses that slash commands STILL have

[elfin inlet]

oh well

[errant trout]

meh one day the command team will wake up

[elfin inlet]

is it a problem with the PyCord implementation or a problem with discord API itself?

[sage tendon]

discord

discord made slash commands and then forgot to ever touch them again

same with stuff like modals

[lofty parcel]

I'm sure they're dead

[sage tendon]

soon: Nitro only options!
Only nitro users will be able to use these optional command options in your bot!

[elfin inlet]

real

nah discord's too busy accidentally breaking youtube's TOS on april fools day and ignoring support tickets

[sage tendon]

Not "child safety" support tickets, mind you

ahem anyway back to the topic

[elfin inlet]

its hard work pressing the "deny ticket" button all the time

[elfin inlet]

oki

seperate question

ephemeral=True as a perameter in my ctx.respond just doesn't seem to work, any reason for that?

[little cobalt]

it does?

[sage tendon]

are you deferring?

[elfin inlet]

?

[sage tendon]

do you use ctx.defer()?

[elfin inlet]

I'm about to get laughed out of the room but idk what that is lol

[sage tendon]

show your code

[elfin inlet]

I'm brand new to PyCord :/

[elfin inlet]

oh no

[sage tendon]

oh yes

[elfin inlet]

please just tell me what it does I'm scared 😅

[sage tendon]

no, if you dont know what it is it doesnt matter for this

[little cobalt]

why are you scared and of what?

[elfin inlet]

ya'll seeing my garbage beginner code lol

[sage tendon]

just show it

[elfin inlet]

what do you wanna see of it?

[sage tendon]

people show their chatgpt 1:1 copy pasted garbage here daily

it cannot get worse

[errant trout]

this is literally a channel for help

[elfin inlet]

LOL

[sage tendon]

the respond mainly

[elfin inlet]

ctx.respond("placeholder", ephemeral=True) 🤯

[sage tendon]

screenshot it

i have long lost trust in people copy pasting correctly :>

[elfin inlet]

its not in my code anymore ive removed it bc it didnt work

[sage tendon]

no offense, just, people tend to change minor stuff and that ends up being the issue

[elfin inlet]

I just typed it out there

[sage tendon]

well the way you did there is right

can you show your whole code then, maybe i can see the issue

the command

[elfin inlet]

wtf

it worked now

:/

I dunno what I was doing wrong b4

maybe I put ephemeral in my command permaters or something like a dumbass lol

[sage tendon]

or you typed ephemereal

[elfin inlet]

I would never

[elfin inlet]

uh what

dont mind my ide being pink xD

[sage tendon]

ctx.channel.send, most likely

if thats what you wana do

[elfin inlet]

okay ig

it worked everywhere else tho

[sage tendon]

you wanna send a message into the channel, right?

[elfin inlet]

idk im confused lol

[elfin inlet]

yeah

[sage tendon]

yea then its this

[sage tendon]

never heard of ctx.send as a shortcut so idk

[errant trout]

what

ctx.send has always been a shortcut

[sage tendon]

:>

never known of it then

then i do wonder why it doesnt work for them

[lofty parcel]

Looks like it's not for ApplicationContext
https://docs.pycord.dev/en/master/api/application_commands.html#discord.ApplicationContext

[errant trout]

it is because ApplicationContext is Messageable

thus inherited

[lofty parcel]

Eh

Then idk

[elfin inlet]

bruh what raise ApplicationCommandInvokeError(exc) from exc
discord.errors.ApplicationCommandInvokeError: Application Command raised an exception: AttributeError: 'TextChannel' object has no attribute 'respond'

[tidal vessel]

?

what do you want to do?

[errant trout]

ctx.respond

[cerulean sable]

Hypothetically speaking, what if I want a button to be timed out and disabled after 60 seconds, but within this 60 second duration the user can click it how much ever time and the bot would respond with something or something else. Is that possible? I don't want the button to be one-time only, nor do I want the button to expire once the user has clicked it.

Would there be limitations?

[errant trout]

that works fine

don't need to do anything special either, just make the button as normal

[lofty parcel]

doesnt timeout reset every time a user clicks the button?

it does reset ^

[little cobalt]

Learn basic python....

[lethal loom]

I have a problem I have a slashcomamndgroup there everything works but as soon as I add it comes the
\ [ERROR] Extension 'cogs.xenority' raised an error: AttributeError: 'SlashCommand' object has no attribute 'Cog'
When I add this

    async def commands(self, ctx):
        ...```

[sage tendon]

show the slash command group definition

[lethal loom]

this are all commands and the def

[sage tendon]

I'm on phone lol I can't check a whole text file rn

[lethal loom]

update_cmd = SlashCommandGroup(name="update", description="Update Channel Messages", guilds=[625285230823211031], guild_only=True ,default_member_permissions=discord.Permissions(administrator=True))

[fresh sierra]

and all other command works fine ?

[lethal loom]

yeah wehen i remove this one its work

[fresh sierra]

can you try changing the name ?

[sage tendon]

I think it's because of the name then tbh

[fresh sierra]

instead of commands you put test_command for example

    @update_cmd.command(name="commands")
    async def commands_test(self, ctx):
        ...

like that

[lethal loom]

oh its ture thx but cringe

[cerulean sable]

Yeah exactly, I want the button to be disabled within exactly 60 seconds, not shorter, not longer, but then if the timeout resets everytime the button gets clicked then I assume the timeout would be extended for longer periods of time.

Button to be disabled within 60 seconds, no matter what the user clicked or hasn't clicked, button isn't one time, do not want it to be disabled until the 60 second mark.

[cerulean sable]

Hmm, I'll see.

I'll try making the button normal, if it doesn't work but it's functional to my needs then I'll just keep using that.

[lofty parcel]

Then you'll have to handle the timeout yourself with asyncio.sleep

[errant trout]

Yeah something like

Right after sending the view, just sleep 60 and then view.stop

Or edit the message to disable

[solemn finch]

is there a way to prevent discord from caching a image resource that changes? I have updated my image on the backend where it's hosted but discord still shows the old one in the Embed

[fresh sierra]

edit the embed ?

[solemn finch]

i did edit it

[fresh sierra]

and you replace the url = ?

[solemn finch]

it's the same url, do I need to somehow change the url each time?

[fresh sierra]

i think in order to be edit the embed need to be different

so like if you edit the url= and its still the same maybe it wikl not edit

[solemn finch]

it does change from two different inherited Embed classes

[cerulean sable]

Yeah that's what I thought too, thanks @lofty parcel & you ofc!

[fresh sierra]

reset ur cache on ur client

and try to see if the embed has chanegd

[solemn finch]

client in this case being the bot or the image provider?

(I am dum)

[fresh sierra]

no like

maybe ur discord

cache the embed

so if ur reset the cache of ur discord

you will see the updated image

you can try

[solemn finch]

alright, worth a shot

nope, it isn't that

[fresh sierra]

are you only updating the image ?

or also the description etc

[solemn finch]

I am just adding a image in the new embed

so it might be that?

[fresh sierra]

can you try to also update the description

just to troubleshoot a little bit mor

[solemn finch]

okay, i'll see if that helps

[clear lark]

How can I fix

class Help(commands.HelpCommand):
               ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
AttributeError: 'list' object has no attribute 'HelpCommand'

I was just copy-pasting the examples of help command classes from the pycord guide

[little cobalt]

which pycord guide?

[clear lark]

https://guide.pycord.dev/extensions/commands/help-command#creating-your-help-command

[fresh sierra]

can you show ur import ?

[sage tendon]

is that the file the help class is in?

[fresh sierra]

check if you have no commands =

its possible that u have overwrite the commands form this file

[sage tendon]

I'm just confused why it says that commands is a list

that shouldn't be

[fresh sierra]

they maybe have in the file commands =

and so it chage that

[clear lark]

yes I placed the class into that file

[fresh sierra]

Did you check if you don’t have any commands =

[clear lark]

Well I didn't specify any help commands or setup my own

I let the defaults do its thing, until I needed to customize it so I copied examples from the guide and copied it to the main script which includes necessary modules

[fresh sierra]

Can you send ur whole file ?

[clear lark]

ok hold on

well this is my main.py file

[fresh sierra]

here is ur issue

as i said you are overwritting the variable commands

you need to use something else than commands for this variable name

[clear lark]

oof, oh yeah

thanks

[cobalt comet]

for the timeout property while creating buttons, will it disable the button right after that seconds, or starts that timer only if no activity is there?

[fresh sierra]

It will disable it after second even with activity

(From what Nelo said)

[cobalt comet]

lemme actually test it and check

[sage tendon]

which is what nelo said

[cobalt comet]

ye it works like resets the timer when an interaction happened

[fresh sierra]

Ok thanks

[deft kestrel]

is there a way to make the bot "listen" when a user send a message but in the dms?

[errant trout]

the bot is always listening

do you mean in a specific process ("waiting" for a message), or should it do something for every message

[deft kestrel]

no i mean like on_dm_message

[errant trout]

that's just on_message

then check if message.guild is None

[deft kestrel]

oh ok

thanks

[halcyon hearth]

Does anyone know why the new lines are causing errors? I’m transferring the bot to a hosting provider and it worked fine on my pc, but now I’m getting this error

[sage tendon]

upgrade to python 3.12

[fresh sierra]

dont crosspost pls

[quartz umbra]

Quick question, in bot.slash_command, what dtype is ctx?

[rugged lodge]

Searched in pycord

discord.ApplicationContext
discord.ApplicationContext.author
discord.ApplicationContext.bot
discord.ApplicationContext.channel
discord.ApplicationContext.channel_id
discord.ApplicationContext.cog
discord.ApplicationContext.command
discord.ApplicationContext.defer
discord.ApplicationContext.delete
discord.ApplicationContext.edit
discord.ApplicationContext.followup
discord.ApplicationContext.guild
discord.ApplicationContext.guild_id
discord.ApplicationContext.guild_locale
discord.ApplicationContext.interaction

[little cobalt]

the first one at that what Squid send

[quartz umbra]

tysm

so if I wanna do ctx.respond, how can I make that ephermal?

[sage tendon]

add ephemeral=True to it

[languid hazel]

hi, I just have a simple question :
In a slash command option, is it possible to do a select option that accepts multiple choices ?
Something like this :

                        | [x] Cyan       |
                        | [ ] Yellow     |
                        | [ ] White      |
                        | [x] Purple     |
                        | [x] Green      |
                        | [x] Red        |
                        | [ ] Blue       |
/set favcolours colours:[Cyan, Purple, Green, Red]

(ping me if you have an answer)

[young skiff]

I don't think so, maybe with a select menu it's possible to accept multiple choices

[languid hazel]

the current solution i found is to use a modal with a select menu that has a max_value different than 1

[young skiff]

would be great to have multiple choice parameters

[languid hazel]

yep

i really dont understand why it is not possible

i cant find anything about multiple choices in slash commands options

[young skiff]

maybe you can set a parameter to the user to write the list of colors like: green, violet, blue

[little cobalt]

py-cord would have it at the commands if it would be possible

[little cobalt]

you have to use for something like that a select menu

[young skiff]

and use an auto complete of colors followed by commas to select multiple colors, idk

[languid hazel]

mb it's impossible x) i'll have to find another solution

[young skiff]

or use buttons to click an emoji of the color to select, it's more intuitive

[languid hazel]

you mean, applying the autocomplete on the part after the last comma ?
(i never used autocomplete btw)

[languid hazel]

(i used the color select as an example, actually i have a lot of options and it won't fit in the button amount limit)

[young skiff]

yes, the user writes "blue" and the auto complete shows possible following colors like "blue, red" "blue, violet" "blue, yellow"

that's not very intuitive

[languid hazel]

hm... let me do some research on autocomplete

[lofty parcel]

You use a select menu.

That's the way to do it.

[young skiff]

that's the best solution

[languid hazel]

so i have to use a message. okay.

And i still dont understand why discord does not allow select menus in modals, and ticks options for slash command options.

thank you anyways

[languid hazel]

if i do that, the number of possibilities will be exponential with the amount of options

3 options and its 3^(3) = 9

9 options and it goes 387,420,489

could be fun to do XDDDD

[lofty parcel]

They were planned. But discord forgets about actually updating stuff.

[red mist]

You might want to check out autocomplete

Is it possible to change the help command description like this

I want to add some introductory of my bot within the minimal help command apart from its default one

[fresh sierra]

remove the dfault help command and do the new one

[sage tendon]

That's not the recommended way

[fresh sierra]

why ?

[clear lark]

I will use those default help subclasses thank you

[sage tendon]

yea, that is

[clear lark]

not in a mood for like updating help everytime I changed params or add new commands

[fresh sierra]

no but you dont need to do that

[clear lark]

how

[fresh sierra]

you can create a command

that itinerate from every command in ur bot

[sage tendon]

Luma, subclassing the help command is the way you're supposed to do it

[fresh sierra]

fom command in self.bot.commands

[fresh sierra]

and so you can remove the old one and create the subclass

[clear lark]

hmm makes sense

[sage tendon]

sigh

[fresh sierra]

something like that :

class HelpCog(commands.HelpCommand):
    def __init__(self):
        super().__init__(command_attrs={"hidden": True})

    async def send_command_help(self, command: commands.Command):
        embed = discord.Embed(title="Command Help", description=f"```{command.short_doc}```")
        embed.add_field(name="Usage :", value=f"```{self.context.prefix}{command.qualified_name} {command.signature}```")
        await add_embed(embed)
        await self.context.message.reply(embed=embed)

    async def send_bot_help(self, mapping):        
        for command in self.bot.commands:
            embed.description += 
def setup(bot):
    bot.help_command = HelpCog()

markdown is a little bit broken but you understand what i mean

if ur planning on using slash commands this will not work however

[clear lark]

Yeah for slash I get this... error

and I just used this sample help command, which your example is fairly similar from the guide

yeah I'm using bridges

[fresh sierra]

i dont hink you can use bridge for that

use default help command in bridge

[clear lark]

well thats exactly why I was using minimal help subclassing

[fresh sierra]

since im using bridge too i have made a real command help

[clear lark]

right

ill try to make my own ig

[fresh sierra]

and then it will work for both

good luck

[clear lark]

ok maybe I should omit the signature instead should work

[fresh sierra]

you can do if ctx.app add the signature, else you dont

on the default help command

will maybe work

[echo wraith]

Heyy does anyone have some examples of subclassing ApplicationContext?

[sage tendon]

there is no need, ever, to do that

[echo wraith]

I might be wrong but i remember seeing some example of that in the docs or somewhere tho

[sage tendon]

no

you never create applicationcontext manually, so subclassing it has no point

[echo wraith]

yeah here

https://github.com/Pycord-Development/pycord/blob/master/examples/custom_context.py

[sage tendon]

ok, wtf

thats very new to me then

[echo wraith]

If decorate your function

like let's say I need to load a guild from the db and i'm lazy I can do something like @load_guild and it will put it in ctx.db_guild

or smth

[sage tendon]

well i guess you can use it for that then, yea

Keep in mind that that'll cause a db action for every application command though

so if your bot gets a lot of use, you will also get a lot of DB traffic

[fresh sierra]

what are you trying to do ?

(just wanna learn some new tricks so no idea for how to help u)

[deft kestrel]

a geniune question is it overall normal for the bot not update commands everytime i turn it on?

[sage tendon]

restart your discord

Discord is slow to actually sync commands to the client

The bot syncs commands as soon as it starts

[echo wraith]

Actually my idea was different, I would do @load_guild decorator, and the ctx subclass would be just for typehinting. To set ctx.guild_data: MyModel | None basically. Then I use a decorator that I created, and that would set ctx.guild_data, check if the guild exists, and if not even return.
@fresh sierra ⬆️

So it loads the db data only if I ask for it with @load_guild, because I know the command needs it

Ill send an example

[fresh sierra]

Thats a good idea, rn I’m using a function from each of my class to do translator = get_translator(ctx), I can use ur thing to automatically have ctx.translator

[echo wraith]

def load_guild_or_return():
    async def predicate(ctx):
        # Check if the guild data has been loaded already
        if not hasattr(ctx, 'guild_obj'):
            ctx.guild_obj = GuildAdapter(ctx.guild.id)
            await ctx.guild_obj.load()

        if not ctx.guild_obj.exists:
            raise GuildNotSet(
                translations.errors.bot_not_set_up.get(
                    ctx.locale, translations.errors.bot_not_set_up["en-US"]
                ).format(
                    command=commands_utils.mention("mod config start", bot=ctx.bot)
                )
            )
        return True

    return commands.check(predicate)

[fresh sierra]

Thanks for the explanation man

[echo wraith]

And that entire hasattr thing allows to only load the guild once from the db avoiding double calls

[fresh sierra]

What will be the use of ur guild_data ?

Translation ?

[echo wraith]

I just called guild_data guild_obj in the example

it's the database data

[fresh sierra]

Yes but to do what ?

To check if the guild has all the row required insert for ur game ?

[echo wraith]

in my case it's to load mod settings and stuff

[fresh sierra]

Ok, well that’s smart !

[river bramble]

hello. I have more of a question about voice recording rather than necessarily a bug. I would like to record the stream in chunks no larger than 3 or 5 minutes for example. Each time it gets a new audio chunk, it will perform processing on that audio in the background while immediately starting a new audio recording... I'm hoping I can do this without making the bot exit and enter the voice channel each time it has to restart a new recording. I'm not sure where to start on this as far as the pycord library, any direction on where I can get hacking would be great. Thanks.

[limber terrace]

no one?

ok

    @slash_command(name="help", description="When you know, you know (WIP)")
    async def help(self, ctx):
        print(self.bot.application_commands)
        commands = self.bot.application_commands
        for i in commands:
            if isinstance(i, UserCommand):
                print(f"``{i.name}`` - {i.description}, usercommand\n")
            elif isinstance(i, SlashCommand):
                print(f"``{i.name}`` - {i.description}, slashcommand\n")
            elif isinstance(i, MessageCommand):
                print(f"``{i.name}`` - {i.description}, messagecommand\n")
            elif isinstance(i, SlashCommandGroup):
                print(f"``{i.name}`` - {i.description}, slashcommandgroup\n")```

just a quick thing, did i miss a command group here?

[fresh sierra]

The sub sub groub

But you will need a fonction that is recursive to get this one

(Command group => sub command groups => command)

[limber terrace]

this is a thing?

damn

u havin an example?

[fresh sierra]

Example of how to do it ?

Or about that : /group subgroup command

[limber terrace]

ok, so its a command group within a command group?

damn

na how to do it is a thing ill get from the docs somehow

[fresh sierra]

Yes

[fresh sierra]

I don’t think there is something

Like you just need to do the same thing again for ur subgroup that u does from ur group

(A subgroup is considered as a slash command group like a normal group

[limber terrace]

if u havin an example in this case, your welcome to share

saves me time

[fresh sierra]

Yes

Here it is

async def num_commands(bot: Lumabot):
sorted_commands = []

for cog in bot.cogs.values():
    for command in cog.get_commands():
        if isinstance(command, discord.SlashCommandGroup):
            for subcommand in command.walk_commands():
                if isinstance(subcommand, discord.SlashCommandGroup):
                    for sub_subcommand in subcommand.walk_commands():
                        sorted_commands.append(sub_subcommand)
                else:
                    sorted_commands.append(subcommand)
        else:
            sorted_commands.append(command)

unique_sorted_commands = []
for command in sorted_commands:
    if command not in unique_sorted_commands:
        unique_sorted_commands.append(command)

return len(unique_sorted_commands)

Im on phone

I can’t put the codeblock sorry

Also strange behavior but you need to check 2 times because it count more than 1 time the commands

(If you have better idea of what I did or you have some idea how to improve it tell me ;)

(And I’m using cog to count because and not the self.bot.application_commands because of the issue with unloading cog that don’t remove command)

[limber terrace]

ill find a way, thank you :D

[fresh sierra]

My pleasure

Hi, is it possible to display custom emojis in field names ?

[sage tendon]

P sure no

[fresh sierra]

no like for mention and eveyrthing else

[lean garnet]

Ok, thank you

and in value it's still not possible ?

only description ?

[sage tendon]

the value should support anything

[lean garnet]

ok maybe i did something wrong

[sage tendon]

emojis are a little weird to put in text imo

[lean garnet]

oh i forgot :

yes it works now

first time i learn you something The Toothy :p

[sage tendon]

?

[lean garnet]

you said you was pretty sure it was not possible but it is

usualy when I ask questions here it's you who answers me

nvm

[sage tendon]

oh is that the field name?

[lean garnet]

yes !

[sage tendon]

ah, lol

i think its just markdown that doesnt work in field names then

[fresh sierra]

you also made me learn something thanks ;)

[lean garnet]

you're welcome ;)

[fresh sierra]

how to use the allowed mention bot things ?

i cant find any example

[sage tendon]

like what

bot-wide?

[fresh sierra]

yes

allowed_mentions=[discord.AllowedMentions.replied_user= false, discord.AllowedMentions.everyone])

something like so

[sage tendon]

no

its one allowedmentions object

https://docs.pycord.dev/en/stable/api/data_classes.html#discord.AllowedMentions

[fresh sierra]

can you give me an example of how should i do ?

[sage tendon]

allowed_mentions=discord.AllowedMentions(replied_user=False, everyone=True)

[fresh sierra]

ok thanks you

[sage tendon]

everyone is true by default tho

everything is true by default actually

[fresh sierra]

does role should be like so :

 allowed_mentions=discord.AllowedMentions(users=True, roles=False, everyone=False, replied_user=False))

[sage tendon]

yea

[fresh sierra]

because of the list snowflake

and if i want to specify some role

i can do

roles=[role_id 1, role_id2]

[sage tendon]

you can leave out users tho, everything is true by default

[sage tendon]

yea

[fresh sierra]

yeak ik, im still not sure what i will let on and what i will let off bby default

[sage tendon]

everyone should most certainly always be off if you have any commands that take direct user input

or disable that in each send specifically depending on the command

[fresh sierra]

yes for everyone yes

more for role that im thinking

since for example at the opening of ticket it will open, but in other case no

i think i will let it by default to false

and in specific case passing to true, just to be sure that it never ping because of an exploit in my bot

[rapid jackal]

how can I create a task that runs every day at exactly 0:00 O'Clock in my time zone?

[rugged lodge]

Here's the background task example.

[devout linden]

can someone tell me how to @mention to a guild nick instead of the user's global name? i'm using ApplicationContext.user.mention and it's not the guild nick when it's rendered.
ApplicationContext.guild.get_member(context.user.id) is also not yielding a the guild nick either.

in python, if that matters.

[shell radish]

the rendering is a discord app thing and there's nothing you can do about the physical mention itself

[devout linden]

boo, i was afraid that was the problem given what i've (not) been able to find about this. thank you.

[sage tendon]

wait, but, mentions always use the display name

as in, guild nickname if set

or what am I missing

[shell radish]

it's different between web/desktop, andriod, and ios/ios/ios

[sage tendon]

I'm also very certain that's not true

I've never seen a ping that doesn't directly reflect the name I see in chat

Yes, on mobile it'll show the pomelo username in the message preview, but that's the only place I know of that does it that way

[vital bramble]

How can I actually have a min_values of 0 in a string select menu? I set the min_values property to 0 but I have to select an option (I can't select an option and then deselect it). Does 0 even work?

nvm I think I did something wrong.

[fresh sierra]

Min value is 1 by default, and I think 0 is unlimited choice

[sage tendon]

0 makes no sense lol

[atomic fern]

what is this? didnt understand at all about the error, i cant use send_modal

[little cobalt]

modal can only have 5 input text

[atomic fern]

noo

[vital bramble]

wondering if discord will ever change that xD

[little cobalt]

Soon maybe

[sage tendon]

pff
never

[ivory beacon]

can i send message like this ?
i mean ephemeral message after interaction is already responded ?

[sage tendon]

sure

[robust ginkgo]

yes

[rain dune]

https://github.com/Pycord-Development/pycord/blob/master/examples/background_task.py
is any example available for cogs of tasks?

[little cobalt]

why do you need an example for a cog?

[sage tendon]

tasks really dont work differently in cogs i think

[rain dune]

alright! i thought tasks decorator won't work in cogs

thanks

[little cobalt]

eh what?

[rain dune]

[sage tendon]

i mean fair, cogs do change the way you need to use the slash decorator

[little cobalt]

eh not really

[sage tendon]

yes really

@discord instead of @bot

[little cobalt]

I use the one from discord.commands

[sage tendon]

yea

[little cobalt]

that is how I use my slash commands ;3

[sage tendon]

yea, me too

minus guild only and the top ofc

tho no option decorator is a sin

[little cobalt]

the @config is just my command builder for the names and descriptions at the command and options

[grizzled loom]

Wie ist das eigentlich, wenn man so'n default perm decorator nimmt?
Wirft das dann Fehler, wenn jemand ohne passende Berechtigung loslegt oder ist der Befehl nur für Leuten mit passender Berechtigung sichtbar?

[sage tendon]

nicht sichtbar für unbefugte

deswegen immer den nehmen

und kann in den servereinstellungen überschrieben werden

[grizzled loom]

as expected. I think for my nieche case the self built thing is better.

[sage tendon]

suddenly german

[grizzled loom]

man das ständige sprachen wechseln macht mich noch bekloppt! 😂

[little cobalt]

Ich finde es nicht so schlimm

[red mist]

Immer diese Deutsche hier

[fresh sierra]

https://docs.pycord.dev/en/stable/ext/tasks/index.html

[grizzled loom]

I usually don't mind, just had a long day, that's all

[broken pivot]

how i can make this in bot description?

[shell radish]

discord adds them automatically and you can't do anything

[broken pivot]

thanks for answer

[lament hound]

hi! switching over from dpy, trying to get a basic example together:

#main.py

import discord

bot = discord.Bot()

@bot.event
async def on_ready():
    print(f"We have logged in as {bot.user}")

@bot.slash_command()
async def reload(ctx):
    bot.reload_extension("cog")
    await ctx.send("Reloaded cog.py")

bot.load_extension("cog")
bot.run('X.X.X')

#cog.py
from discord import Embed, Color
from discord.ext import commands

@commands.command()
async def search(ctx):
    await ctx.send('hello')

def setup(bot):
    bot.add_command(search)

But I get an error,

discord.errors.ExtensionFailed: Extension 'cog' raised an error: AttributeError: 'Bot' object has no attribute 'add_command'

Where have I gone wrong? Thanks in advance!

I've installed pycord via

pip install git+https://github.com/Pycord-Development/pycord

I've also tried install it from pypi, with the same result

[sage tendon]

uninstall discord.py

and reinstall pycord after, the pypi version

oh wait, no

def setup(bot):
    bot.add_command(search)

that isnt how you do it in pycord

[lament hound]

https://docs.pycord.dev/en/v2.5.x/ext/commands/extensions.html

I'm just reading the documentation, must be in need of an update

[sage tendon]

it's bot.add_cog

wait you forgot to make the cog class lol

https://docs.pycord.dev/en/v2.5.x/ext/commands/cogs.html read this

[lament hound]

I've just copied this exactly, I didn't know you had to do anything else

[sage tendon]

https://guide.pycord.dev/popular-topics/cogs here's the proper guide

[lament hound]

Will take a look now, thanks

[sage tendon]

bot.add_command should still exist tho
so if you didnt already, uninstall discord.py and reinstall pycord

py-cord is the package name on pypi

[lament hound]

yep, my apologises

not sure where I got pycoord from, totally different 😆

follow the cog guide

As it relies on add_command

[sage tendon]

hm

can you do pip list and send it here

[lament hound]

sure can, forgive me for not using virtual envs more

[sage tendon]

hm
you did reinstall it?

[lament hound]

yep

[sage tendon]

can you show your current code in the cog

        self._last_member = member

def setup(bot):
    bot.add_cog(Greetings(bot))

is it to do with the 2 discord package imports maybe?

[sage tendon]

no

can you remove the entire hello command
its a prefix command and that wont work with discord.Bot because thats slash only

[lament hound]

yep! that fixed it!

[sage tendon]

yea, you need to use @discord.slash_command() for slash commands

[lament hound]

should that be updated to reflect on the documentation?

appreicate the support

[sage tendon]

i mean the docs have both a prefix and a slash command in there, its kind of just an example of everything

[lament hound]

right, but directly copying the quick example would give that error

[sage tendon]

and look at https://guide.pycord.dev/interactions/application-commands/slash-commands as well, very helpful

[sage tendon]

only when using discord.Bot() but yea
I think that example only works out of the box with a bridgebot

[lament hound]

same with this page

okay cool

[little cobalt]

#faq

[lament hound]

I must be blind, cant see anything related to this issue

[little cobalt]

I mean its for the docs and other stuff for the examples

And at the Installation it also says that you have to uninstall all the other librarys if you want to use py-cord

[lament hound]

I read the documentation lol, its actually what gave me the error that meant I had to come here

[sage tendon]

i do agree tho, there should probably be 3 guide parts for prefix, bridge and slash only bots

[little cobalt]

There is a guide for it

But its not really updated

[lament hound]

yes, exactly

[sage tendon]

i think prefix and bridge should be "hidden" anyway in the guide

every sensible person uses slash only, bridge and especially prefix-only are the minority by far

[lament hound]

import discord
from discord.ext import commands

class Greetings(commands.Cog):
    def __init__(self, bot):
        self.bot = bot

        self._last_member = member

def setup(bot):
    bot.add_cog(Greetings(bot))

okay, thats the code right now

from curseforge import CurseForge
import discord

bot = discord.Bot()

@bot.event
async def on_ready():
    print(f"We have logged in as {bot.user}")

@bot.slash_command()
async def reload(ctx):
    bot.reload_extension("cog")
    await ctx.send("Reloaded cog.py")

bot.load_extension("cog")
bot.run('X.X.X')

it says "We have logged in". but the reload or hello commands don't show up, neither does the bot respond to any mentions

[sage tendon]

did you restart your discord?

[lament hound]

no, no clue you had to do that

wow that's super weird lol - some sort of caching issue?

[sage tendon]

also in the hello command, you can remove the * parameter
and in slash commands, you need to use ctx.respond to actually respond to the interaction

discord is just slow

they dont wanna sync commands to the client every 2 seconds

[lament hound]

fair enough, alright will do

thanks again!

[sage tendon]

also i dont think it makes a big difference but you can change commands.Cog to discord.Cog too

[lament hound]

more consistent, cool

[sage tendon]

yea commands.* is mostly prefix stuff, discord.* is mostly slash stuff

but some stuff like listeners are still in commands

[lament hound]

ah...one last thing sorry, when I run bot.reload_extension it gives me a recursive error for loading the cog lol

[sage tendon]

ngl never heard of that

[lament hound]

....and that's because I'm an idiot

[sage tendon]

i think i remember something about unloading cogs being broken on 2.5 tho

or something not qutie working right

so it might be that

[lament hound]

yep, imported another class that had the same name as my cog

[little cobalt]

Its kinda working

[little cobalt]

For the cogs you have to

• get the commands if you have some in there and if its a slash command
• reload the cog
• sync the slash_command and add a empty guild list to it else you gonna break it

[errant trout]

Unloading with slash has never worked because it's a pain

[vital bramble]

Is there some kind of once event listener for cogs?
I can only find discord.Cog.listener() which listens on but not once...

[red mist]

So why did discord.py get it to work >~<

[errant trout]

They have a completely different structure to us

I'm not saying it's impossible, I'm saying we didn't design it like that

[red mist]

I see-

[errant trout]

Idk if it's on 2.5 or master, but we did add the once arg to listeners

Should read https://github.com/Pycord-Development/pycord/pull/2403 because there's some caveats

[vital bramble]

thx

[young skiff]

Do you recommend implementing unit tests in py-cord?

[ivory beacon]

how ?

[tidal zealot]

is there a constant somewhere for max message length?

[edgy nest]

no

but its 2000

for bots

[tidal zealot]

[rain dune]

In 5.options.0.choices: Must be 25 or fewer in length.
what can i do if i want to add autocomplete choices for more than 25

[sage tendon]

choices != autocomplete
and they're limited at 25

[rain dune]

    @commands.slash_command(description="Create a shop alert for desired skins.")
    @option(
        "skin",
        autocomplete=discord.utils.basic_autocomplete(
            skin_lists
        )
    )
    async def alert(
        self,
        ctx,
        skin: Option(str, "Select the skins", required=True), # type: ignore
    ):

can i do something like this?

this will like autocomplete from skin_lists

[sage tendon]

sure, but it won't be validated
also, don't use the typehint if you already use the decorator

[rain dune]

thanks!

[rain dune]

is it possible to take multiple values in skin like :

@commands.slash_command(description="Create a shop alert for desired skins.", guild_ids=[864779702554984458])
    @option(
        "skin",
        description="Choose a skin from the list",
        autocomplete=discord.utils.basic_autocomplete(
            skin_lists
        )
    )
    async def alert(
        self,
        ctx,
        **skin
    ):

like skin can have multiple user inputs :

skin : [item1, item1 ...] 

like, if user select one of the thing it will automatically recommend other things, and user can add multiple values in it

[little cobalt]

Not possible

[rain dune]

alright!

[little cobalt]

You have to use a select menu for it

[rain dune]

oh okay! thanks!

[clear lark]

Is it possible to have slash command input parameter to be multi-line instead of single line?

[sage tendon]

wdym?

[lofty parcel]

Like
This

[sage tendon]

the length limit is generous, you can type well enough

and if you need multiple lines probably either make multiple options or just make the user type \n or whatever, depending on your use case
but p sure options are always single line

[rugged lodge]

Couldn't find any results

[sage tendon]

I did a line break there but I can't see whether it's an actual line break or line wrap because I'm on mobile

[errant trout]

Multi line command input doesn't exist

("Yet", it was meant to be added lol)

[sage tendon]

like the modal updates I suppose

[errant trout]

Oh I guess it works anyway

You can force it on mobile for some reason

Doesn't work in the fancy command menu or desktop

[sage tendon]

lol

[little cobalt]

since when is ctx a command option?

[sage tendon]

wdym?

[little cobalt]

I was doing at my command builder and I tried to apply the stuff to the command and its saying that ctx is a command option

[sage tendon]

can you show lol

[sage tendon]

are you sure you didnt mess up your code

[sage tendon]

is that in a cog for sure?

[little cobalt]

its not my first time writing a bot

[sage tendon]

:>

hey even i, perfection on earth, make mistakes

[little cobalt]

ye

[sage tendon]

yea but not sure
maybe its considered an option within the library but that "option" is automatically filled yknow

[little cobalt]

ye

lets see if this it working xd

[deft kestrel]

I updated py-cord from 2.4.1 to 2.5 today and now my bot crashes at this line during load

[sage tendon]

it's discord.ApplicationContext

[deft kestrel]

oh

and also my server might be running an even older version of py-cord

[sage tendon]

then fix that

[little cobalt]

which one?

[deft kestrel]

idk

it has been more than a year since I installed it

fixed this crash

had to replace over 80 of these instances

lol

[deft kestrel]

I just checked, 2.3.1

[little cobalt]

for slash commands always use discord.ApplicationContext at py-cord

[errant trout]

always

[tribal crown]

Update
I fixed it.

I was looking for role_name: Str in a list of discord roles.
I used discord.utilis to find the role using the name and it worked! 🙂

I'm wondering, how I could check if a user has a role?

I know I can use:
user.roles

to get a list of roles. But the format it returns isn't exactly very useful for checking if the use has a role:
[<Role id=name='@everyone'>, <Role id=name='Founders'>, <Role id=name='Astral Dynamics Member'>, <Role id=name='Board Members'>, <Role id=name='Human Resources'>, <Role id=name='Marketing'>, <Role id=name='Executive'>, <Role id=name='CEO'>]

Ideally I would like to do something like:
if role not in user.roles:

But it doesn't seem to pick up that the role is there.. 🤔

This sped up my role updating massivley cause I think discord rate limits the amount of updates you can do after a while

[lofty parcel]

You do realize you can use
[role.name for role in user.roles] and that will give a list of strings

[tribal crown]

Oo

I did not

roles = user.roles
rank = rank_list[user_membership_info["stars"]]
current_rank_role = discord.utils.get(
    guild.roles,
    name=rank
)
if current_rank_role not in roles:

roles =  [role.name for role in user.roles]
rank =
if rank not in roles:

That makes it significatntly shorter

I approve 😄

[glossy moon]

has anyone sent hyper links through a welcome message? I just found out that mee6 has put that feature behind a paywall, so I want to add it to my bot

and the hyperlinks would just be to channels on the server

[tribal crown]

Yeah! I think you have to do it using an embed

[glossy moon]

hmm, it doesnt appear that Mee6 is sending an embedded message

[tribal crown]

🤔

You mean this?

From mee6s

get the channel by ID, and then use channel.mention

[glossy moon]

yea

[tribal crown]

something like:

async def on_member_join(self, member):
  welcome_chnl = bot.get_channel(welcome_channel)
  mention_chnl = bot.get_channel(mentioned_channel)
  await welcome_chnl.send(f"Welcome {member.mention} Go see this channel {mention_chnl.mention}")

Try that ^^

I'm not too familiar with writing a bot it's my first time x) So lemme know if that works 😄

[glossy moon]

ill give it a try, looks like ill need the channel id per to documention

[tribal crown]

Yeah! Forgot to put _id at the end 😄

[lofty parcel]

You can just hardcode the channel mention if it's always going to be the same.

[glossy moon]

yea it shouldnt change

has anyone created a discord.Guild to use the .get_role funtion? Note sure what the data and state parameters are that are needed for creation. The documentation isn't super helpful

[lofty parcel]

You don't create a discord.Guild by yourself

[tribal crown]

discord..Guild.get_role() needs role ID to get the role from the server I think

[lofty parcel]

99% of the cases, you never instantiate those classes by yourself.

[glossy moon]

i thought it was the same as instantiating discord.Bot(intents...)

[lofty parcel]

Most of the times the objects you have, contain a guild attribute which contains a discord.Guild object

[glossy moon]

that makes more sense

[tribal crown]

But:

guild = bot.get_guild(GUILD_ID)
role = guild.get_role(ROLE_ID)

Is how I would get the role 😛

[lofty parcel]

Assuming you're using this event Ziggi provided here.

member has a guild attribute

[tribal crown]

There is also discord.utils.get()

[lofty parcel]

member.guild would return a discord.Guild object

In commands, your ctx also has a guild attribute.

If you need to get a specific guild, you'd use bot.get_guild()

[tribal crown]

Reminds me of the spiderman gif

[glossy moon]

thank you, you've all been super helpful

any reason why when i use channel.mention, its also including the server?

[lofty parcel]

Because its outside the server

[glossy moon]

rip

[lofty parcel]

It's just how discord formats mentions

[glossy moon]

must be a newer feature then, because when i set it up way back when that didnt inlcude that

[lofty parcel]

It's kinda new

[glossy moon]

so another stupid question, i am mentioning a role in the message, however is appears as @role-deleted . If i just call the role it calls the correct role, but if I use role.mention then i get the above. I read somewhere that the id value if using an int could cause it to snowflake but that was on a forum using js

[keen dragon]

my dropdown callback stops sometime into my bots running (ive noticed it ~ an hour after) and just returns "an error occured... blah blah)

any reason it would do this?

[lofty parcel]

Show your code

[fresh sierra]

[sage tendon]

Views only last for 15m max unless they're made persistent

[errant trout]

no, interaction tokens only last for 15 minutes

The library's default view timeout is 3 minutes; setting timeout=None will make it last indefinitely, but this technically isn't "persistent".
What the library calls "persistent" views are simply how we restart callbacks after the bot restarts, in reality it's just an on_interaction listener that checks the custom_id (and message id if you want better filtering); strictly speaking the add_view design is completely unnecessary, but this was done presumably to model it in line with other aspects of the library

(regardless, you do want persistence in the long run)

[sage tendon]

oh right, sorry, mixed it up

[vital bramble]

Do I need the members intent when I want to get the member roles or fetch a member in an interaction?

[errant trout]

i don't think so

[sage tendon]

i do think so

[errant trout]

just access ctx.author

[sage tendon]

50/50, pick the answer you like :3

but yea ctx.author might always be supplied

[vital bramble]

I'm adding roles to the member and then fetch the member again to have the updated roles. I guess the fetching needs the intent

[sage tendon]

why would you need to fetch them again

[vital bramble]

because it does not update them in cache...

somehow

[sage tendon]

you dont have members cached without members intent though (?)

[errant trout]

it's because add/remove roles doesn't return anything

[vital bramble]

oh, that may have been the problem.
I just used default.
But why was I able to fetch them then?

[errant trout]

so there's no in-place edit

[vital bramble]

oh ok

so the fetch IS necessary

[errant trout]

only when you don't have the intent, yes

fetching a single member doesn't require the intent

[sage tendon]

honestly if its easier with the intent, just enable it

no point not to

[vital bramble]

only Guild.fetch_members and Guild.get_member do, but not Guild.fetch_member

because the first two access the cache?

[errant trout]

well

fetch_members requires it because it's getting several members

get_member doesn't require it, but obviously since it relies on cache it can't get members that aren't cached

(even without the intent, the library attempts to cache members through commands and some other instances)

singular fetch_member does not require the intent

[vital bramble]

so if the members flag is not set in the intents object, the members cache is basically disabled?

[errant trout]

no, there's a separate setting for the members cache

[sage tendon]

It's not disabled, it's just never properly populated

[vital bramble]

So that's why the roles didn't get updated?

[errant trout]

if you care just read https://docs.pycord.dev/en/master/api/data_classes.html#discord.MemberCacheFlags

roles can't be updated locally without the intent

[sage tendon]

.

[vital bramble]

That's what I did not, but I want to understand it xD

[vital bramble]

without the intent set in the code or without it enabled in the application (dev portal)?

[sage tendon]

well you just tell the API to update the member but at no point does your bot ever know about the updated member

[errant trout]

it doesn't matter

it has to be enabled on both

[sage tendon]

that would only happen if the user did another command or, well, you fetched them

[vital bramble]

that's the information I was missing, thanks 🙂

[balmy dome]

Is it possible to add a new slash command and immediately use it on the server when the bot is already running (without rebooting the bot)? According to the experiment, the load_extension function does not register the new command in the list of slash commands.

[errant trout]

no

it will be possible in a future pycord version

[balmy dome]

Oh, okay. I'm looking forward to the update! :D

[sage tendon]

i dont see much use in that tbh

[errant trout]

being able to manage commands without restarting is significantly more convenient than the current system

[sage tendon]

for what use case

[errant trout]

...not having to restart your bot

[sage tendon]

yea but like, what

if you add code for a cmd you need to restart your bot lol

[errant trout]

no?

you can reload cogs and the callbacks update, you just can't do it for command metadata

[sage tendon]

hm

[fresh sierra]

wait we have to restart the whole bot to add new slash command ?

[rapid jackal]

am I right, that I set all commands as global commands when I don't specify any debug guilds and that this would take up to 1h?

[sage tendon]

no

it's near instant

restart your discord though

[echo wraith]

yeah @sage tendon what's that thing where people say it's 1h? Where does that come from?

[sage tendon]

Because that was the initial timeframe discord said it might take all the way back when slash commands released

and even then it never took more than a few minutes max

hi, but https://github.com/Top-gg-Community/python-sdk/blob/master/examples/discordpy_example/callbacks/autopost.py

[little cobalt]

Do you use discord.py or py-cord?

[sage tendon]

regardless, this would be a topgg issue, not one for here

and i heard their SDK is quite shit

[sinful juniper]

pycord

[sage tendon]

well, their example is for discord.py, but judging by the error i think its just an SDK issue

because if topgg.data doesnt even exist, somethings wrong

[obsidian elm]

I cant install pycord, I get an error that pip==20.3.4 is required, I have pip 24.0. Do I have to downgrade pip or what is going on?

[errant trout]

did you do pycord or py-cord

[obsidian elm]

py-cord

[sage tendon]

can you show the console output

[obsidian elm]

I also tried different versions as in #library-updates

[errant trout]

don't think it's an issue on our end

full traceback would be helpful

[obsidian elm]

(on a raspberry pi bullseye with freshly installed python 3.12.3)

[sage tendon]

hmm

[obsidian elm]

the line isn't there if i sudo it, but the error is the same

[sage tendon]

whats the command you're doing

[obsidian elm]

pip install py-cord

[errant trout]

when you're installing in console, does it not go through the active packages? it might be because of a dependency... but very odd version to pin on

ah apparently it's a common issue if you installed through sudo to force update system-wide pip https://github.com/pypa/pip/issues/5599#issuecomment-414157896

you'd be better off setting up a venv too

[obsidian elm]

I just tried to install requests and I get the same error, so no pycord issue. I tried uninstalling this pip and now there is none xD
yeah i tried that but got permission errors and i didn't want to invest too much time in it. I've never really used venvs and so far not really a problem

[echo wraith]

not just quite it is incredibely shit

[echo wraith]

request is syncronous you should not use it anyways in your discord bot

use aiohttp instead

import discord
import aiohttp

from discord.ext import commands, tasks

from ..config import settings


BASE_URL = "https://top[dot]gg/api" # replace [dot] with a dot


class Topgg(commands.Cog):
    def __init__(self, bot: discord.Bot):
        self.bot = bot

    @commands.Cog.listener()
    async def on_ready(self):
        self.update_count_loop.start()

    def cog_unload(self):
        self.update_count_loop.cancel()

    @tasks.loop(minutes=30)
    async def update_count_loop(self):
        try:
            await self.update_count()
        except Exception as e:
            # catch all exceptions to prevent the loop from stopping
            print(e)

    async def update_count(self):
        headers = {"Authorization": settings.TOPGG_TOKEN}
        payload = {"server_count": len(self.bot.guilds)}
        url = f"{BASE_URL}/bots/{self.bot.user.id}/stats"
        try:
            async with aiohttp.ClientSession() as session:
                async with session.post(url, headers=headers, json=payload) as resp:
                    # raise the eventual status code
                    resp.raise_for_status()
        # if 401 unauthorized
        except aiohttp.ClientResponseError as e:
            if e.status == 401:
                print("Invalid Top.gg token")
            else:
                print(e)
        except Exception as e:
            print(e)

this is how I do it without the sdk @obsidian elm that's a bit more code but way cleaner

[errant trout]

yeah you're probably better off just writing your own file for specific requests, seeing how old the official library is

[sinful juniper]

Hhm okay. I asked the question also on the top.gg server now.

Nothing

[sage tendon]

so only in discord?

[forest rain]

Yes, only in modal window

[little cobalt]

Change it to callback at your class

Not on_submit

[forest rain]

It works, thanks again🙏🏻

[sage tendon]

thats when @Override would've helped :)

[deft kestrel]

is this how you still override intents? it gives a warning and I'm not happy about that

and i forgor to change the intents= in dsicord.Bot
ignore that

[sage tendon]

yea

[deft kestrel]

huh, this line causes a circular import

[shell radish]

your download was corrupted one way or the other

time to redo .venv lol

it worked literally 2 seconds ago

[sage tendon]

bit flip

[deft kestrel]

ok now it works, I redid .venv

that flipped like at least 17 bits then

Nope.

looks fine

[errant trout]

how many cogs do you have?

[robust ginkgo]

let me see

these are all of them

[errant trout]

is this a new error you're getting?

[robust ginkgo]

yes

[errant trout]

perhaps a bit much, but you could narrow it down by disabling cogs one by one per restart

(or conversely, start with 1 cog and go up)

[robust ginkgo]

I might try with my newest cogs I've recently added, one of them might be the problematic one.

[errant trout]

the error you're showing when not "legitimate" (i.e. the user has fully unique commands) is typically only when you run sync_commands after the bot has connected, but in your case it's showing on startup which is quite odd

oh actually

[little cobalt]

do you have something like a restart cog?

[errant trout]

you can narrow it down by printing bot.pending_application_commands[8]

[robust ginkgo]

nope, nothing to od with that

[robust ginkgo]

alright

okay it's this one, but it seems to be working perfectly fine

[errant trout]

well, what happens if you disable it (i.e. remove the command decorator)

oh wait

my bad, it's 7 not 8

[robust ginkgo]

okay

"pings"

interesting

ok so I will remove this since this was an old command I had, must have forgotten to remove the actual command group

[errant trout]

isee

[robust ginkgo]

Still getting the error

[errant trout]

what does it say at the bottom

[robust ginkgo]

discord.errors.HTTPException: 400 Bad Request (error code: 50035): Invalid Form Body
In 17: Application command names must be unique

[errant trout]

to elaborate, your original error was In 7: Application command names must be unique which reveals the index

[robust ginkgo]

Oh right

I will check 17 then

Oh so it was that pings command group

It must of been when I duplicated a cog and forgot to remove that line of code from the new one

[errant trout]

yeah sometimes you miss stuff like that

the error is gone now, ty @errant trout @little cobalt

[clear lark]

is this a good way to check if particular exception occurred in specific command?

I couldn't seem to use isinstance this way, with different exceptions that is not part of discord.DiscordException object

[edgy nest]

you need to unpack it; getattr(error, 'original', error)

then you can use isinstance

[fresh sierra]

also its not for exceptions in expections ? without the s since you are itinarating in it

[clear lark]

Oh shoot right

[fresh sierra]

also im doing like that if that maybe can help you

its for prefix but you understand

[upper flint]

I have a bot that saves user sent image url and sends it to a different channel but instead of showing the image preview, it displays this:

Why does that happen? I tried doing this manually and it only shows preview in a channel where the image was originally sent

[little cobalt]

did you send it as a url and not as a file?

[upper flint]

Yes

I can sent urls as files in pycord?

send*

Initial image is sent by user in a channel. Then I check message attachments and grab a url

[upper flint]

And then I'm pasting this url in other channels which leads to this

[ivory beacon]

message = await interaction.response.send_message(embed=embed)
print(message.id)

why this is isn't printing the message id ?

[ivory beacon]

printing something else's id (maybe interaction)

[fresh sierra]

This return interaction

To get message you need to use interaction.get_original_message()

Or something like that

[rugged lodge]

Searched in pycord

discord.Interaction.original_message
discord.Interaction.edit_original_message
discord.Interaction.delete_original_message

thanks

[deft kestrel]

How do I make a datetime as an option

[sage tendon]

not possible

just let them input a unix timestamp

[deft kestrel]

alright

[fresh sierra]

you can take str as arg and then use the datetime.sfrtime

[deft kestrel]

I'll make them input days or hours

[stable yarrow]

or use humanize package

[deft kestrel]

since it's always in the future

[stable yarrow]

from pypi

it converts something like "1 day 3 hrs" into number of seconds

[sage tendon]

thats useful

[stable yarrow]

oh fuck my bad

its called timeparse not humanize

humanize is something else

Quick question, whats the difference betwen @default_permissions() and @has_guild_permissions()

[red mist]

.rtfm default_permissions

[sly karma]

1 results

discord.commands.default_permissions

[red mist]

.rtfm has_guild_permissions

[sly karma]

2 results

discord.ext.commands.has_guild_permissions
discord.ext.commands.bot_has_guild_permissions

[red mist]

default does default permissions for members with certain permissions

For example only someone who can view audit log may use command

has guild permissions checks that the user has permissions guild wide

Unlike has permissions that only checks it for the current channel

As you may or may not know there's an entire permission hierarchy;

where channels overrides category's and categories override roles default permissions

[sage tendon]

there's also just has_permissions i think

[errant trout]

has_permissions is for current channel, has_guild_permissions is guild wide

[red mist]

yes... is stated under guild has permissions

*has guild permissions

@mild trout (pinged you so your answer won't go under in chat)

[red mist]

Don't you get any errors printed out, because I see you're using an error handler?

[spice pond]

not a single on just for once Error: NoneType: None

[red mist]

well that's unfortunate and tricky...

[spice pond]

can you create one and test it like in one of you bots and share it with me?

[red mist]

difficult for me atm not going to be home anytime soon, but im sure someone smarter than me might figure out your issue

[errant trout]

Remove your try/except in the modal and let it error normally

[spice pond]

now even the modal is not oping

class FormModal(Modal):
    def __init__(self):
        super().__init__(title="Data Form")
        self.add_item(InputText(label="Name", placeholder="Enter your name"))
        self.add_item(InputText(label="Age", placeholder="Enter your age"))

    async def on_submit(self, interaction: discord.Interaction):
        
        
        
        if interaction and interaction.channel:
            name = self.children[0].value
            age = self.children[1].value
            print(f"Submitted Name: {name}, Age: {age}")
            await interaction.channel.send(f"**{name}** has submitted the form:\nName: {name}\nAge: {age}")
            await interaction.response.send_message(f"Thank you for your submission, **{name}**!", ephemeral=True)
        else:
            await interaction.response.send_message("Interaction or channel is None. Please try again.", ephemeral=True)
      
        print(f"Error: {traceback.format_exc()}")```

no no it was a glitsh it opend but the same

'-'

[errant trout]

Do you get any error in the console

[spice pond]

nah

[errant trout]

What if you implement logging

[sly karma]

import logging

logging.basicConfig(level=logging.INFO)

[red mist]

Does your bot have some other error handler that handles the errors even now that you removed the extra error handler of the try except

[spice pond]

yes py @bot.event async def on_command_error(ctx, error): if isinstance(error, commands.CommandNotFound): await ctx.send("Command not found.") elif isinstance(error, commands.MissingPermissions): await ctx.send("You don't have the necessary permissions to use this command.") else: await ctx.send("An error occurred.") print(f"Error: {traceback.format_exc()}")

[spice pond]

still the same now imp thing

[red mist]

just try to do a raise

Instead of printing formatted traceback

[errant trout]

Oh duh

It's not on_submit, rename it to callback

[spice pond]

wow aha

wait

[red mist]

huh oh

[spice pond]

damn bro thanks

[red mist]

Told you he smarter than me xD

[spice pond]

rep for both of you guys thanks alot

[mild trout]

thanx you

How to ping a slash command ?

Like <;id>

[stable yarrow]

</name:id>

</name:12>

[clear lark]

is it possible to pass variables to cog, let's say I have variable in my main.py but I want to access it inside the cog which is written to another py

[little cobalt]

For what do you need it?

[fresh sierra]

Thanks ;

[fresh sierra]

Other file.py :
from main import variable

[clear lark]

holy.... this is exactly what I need

[sage tendon]

its basic python lol

and its not always ideal to do it that way

[clear lark]

well no

Extension 'cogs.genai' raised an error: ImportError: cannot import name 'ai_allowlist' from partially initialized module 'main' (most likely due to a circular import) (/workspaces/SGBOT/main.py)

this is from main.py

[grizzled loom]

code?

[fresh sierra]

You have a circular import

[sage tendon]

not necessarily

[fresh sierra]

Basically you import a from file 1 and in file 1 you import b from form 2, so it import each time

[fresh sierra]

It’s written due to a circular import so

[sage tendon]

"most likely"

[fresh sierra]

And since he just add the import

It’s like

99% cos of that

[sage tendon]

And in every instance i encountered that error, it was NOT a circular import

[fresh sierra]

Was it just after importing something from a file ?

?tag past

[limber wagon]

No tag past found.

[fresh sierra]

?tag paste

[limber wagon]

Please copy and paste your code here. This makes it easier for everyone helping you.

[sage tendon]

its just the generic error when an import fails

[fresh sierra]

@clear lark can you show ur code here ?

[clear lark]

hold on

wait a minute

I think I realized something

[fresh sierra]

Ok

Try and tell us if that work

[sage tendon]

See, Luma, it also doesnt make sense to be a circular import
You import 1 variable from another file, there is no way that can turn into a circular import unless that line itself is an import somehow, if thats even possible
Circular imports can only really happen with complete imports

[fresh sierra]

Im not sure about that but in my memory when you import something it still read the whole file and do the import in the whole file too

( i think i run into an error because of that back then)

So like
cog import var from main
main import var from cog
Read each file each time and so do a circular import

[clear lark]

https://mystb.in/595c3f4ca3ccb0a3

[fresh sierra]

I see

Not a circular import

Ur ai whitelist is only defined in the on_ready

Toothy was right

You should move ur code to get the ai wl outside the event

[sage tendon]

I don't think you can do it within on ready anyway

I'm not entirely sure how imports in python work, but on_ready is only called after everything is done, at which point all the cogs are already loaded
So if you just define it outside of on_ready but still fill it inside of it, you will get an empty dict while importing (before on_ready)

oh wait you just open a file
yea then just open the file outside of on_ready lol, no reason for it to be in there

[fresh sierra]

Yeah you need to move everything outside event

Because even if you change the var after

It will not change in ur cog file until the main is reloaded

Which is not possible since it’s the main

[upper flint]

How to automatically restart discord bot if one of the code files change?

I heard that I can use nodemon for this but are there any other alternatives? I just don't want to download both nodejs and python to the docker container that hosts the bot

[little cobalt]

Why restart if you can reload cogs?

[upper flint]

Not convenient If I have to type something to bot on every tiny code change

It's for my development container, not production one. On production I use extensions of course

[errant trout]

and restarting the entire thing is more convenient...?
