Basic Pycord Help

[shell radish]

the guide states that discord.Bot should be used if text-based commands aren't used

[little cobalt]

I noticed that if you have a command with options but without the self , ctx is not shown as a option

but if you add it, ctx is shown as an option

and I still wonder why I cannot add a description to my slash commands...

[fresh sierra]

how are u trying to add the description ?

[sage tendon]

yea, because ctx is self in that case..

[sage tendon]

why cant you

[fresh sierra]

he doesnt know that the things ;)

[sage tendon]

No, he's saying he cant, so there's a reason why he thinks that

[fresh sierra]

 I still wonder why I cannot

for me that mean he doesnt know

[tidal vessel]

One question, what is the maximum number of options that I can put in thechoices parameter?

[fresh sierra]

25

if you want more you can use a autocomplete

[tidal vessel]

ok, ty!

[sage tendon]

also fyi you dont need required?True

and you set the name twice lol

you can delete the name=

[tidal vessel]

It asks me for the name of the parameter of the function to which it is associated, or so I read in the documentation. And the parameter is called the same 🤔 correct?

[sage tendon]

no

the first positional parameter is the name parameter

if your parameter name in the function header differs from the option name, you set that via parameter_name=

[tidal vessel]

ok! Thank you very much, I am still new to the options

[fresh sierra]

there is no guid about it

that sad because there is soo munch thing that u can do using those

[sage tendon]

https://guide.pycord.dev/interactions/application-commands/slash-commands#options--option-types

at least the bare minimum ^^

but neither of the ways shown there use the decorator which is sad because the decorator is universally better

[tidal vessel]

is that I used to work with the Option object directly in the function parameter, but for some reason Python gives me an error when I use it there. I'm migrating to @option() decorator haha

[fresh sierra]

i agree with that

[fresh sierra]

almost the same just its not input_type but type

[little cobalt]

its working at the main file but not at a cog what is really weird

[tidal vessel]

yes, I got it, I got a little confused, thank you.

[fresh sierra]

i think name and description have to be put prior to the bot running

im doing like that :

        description = cmd_default.get("description")
        if description is not None:
            command.description = description

and its working so i guess the issue can either be from the description, either because of the decorator( which will be strange)

if you add some print before the command.description

are they triggered ?

[little cobalt]

that still not explains why its working at the main file but not at a cog at the same command

[fresh sierra]

main file is run prior to the bot running

so maybe it put those description at that moment

and then when the bot has run it cant place the description no more

i guess

[little cobalt]

I can test it without running the .run and the stuff is getting added to the command

[fresh sierra]

like in the cog ?

[little cobalt]

both

[fresh sierra]

how can you test without running the bot i dont understand

so in ur test the description is set but when ur bot is running its not set

[little cobalt]

well, I can just print it at the config one and see

[little cobalt]

at the cog

[fresh sierra]

can you send me the code in codeblock, i will try to do it and make that work

and just how look the json for one command

[half terrace]

I have a problem that I can see the slash commands, but my friend can't. Any ideas why it's like that?

[fresh sierra]

just restart ur discord

[half terrace]

we both did and it still only shows up for me

[sage tendon]

check the permissions

if you have default permissions set it wont work (obv)

[little cobalt]

its just a basic json file with name and description

[fresh sierra]

so

i tried a bunch of thing

and its not possible

i forgot that nelo already told me that

when i was trying to do that

command.name cant be done after bot is run because it will send that to the api before

[little cobalt]

its all before of it

[fresh sierra]

and even by changing the local like so :

def test_config(command: discord.SlashCommand) -> discord.SlashCommand:
    with open(f"test.json", "r", encoding="UTF-8") as file:
        data: dict = json.load(file)

    if "name" in data:
        if (current := getattr(command, "name_localizations")) in (None, discord.MISSING):
            setattr(command, "name_localizations", {"fr": data["name"]})
        else:
            current["fr"] = data["name"]

    if "description" in data:
        if (current := getattr(command, "description_localizations")) in (None, discord.MISSING):
            setattr(command, "description_localizations", {"fr": data["description"]})
        else:
            current["fr"] = data["description"]

    return command

[fresh sierra]

the @config is run before the command

but its not run with the load extension i think

(from what i remember nelo told me

if you want i have another solution without decorator that im using

[little cobalt]

but why do I still get the print of it?

so its getting run with load extension

[fresh sierra]

i will check what is sent to the api wait

yeah

{'id': '1246890345002827857', 'application_id': '1127255044182507662', 'version': '1246890345002827858', 'default_member_permissions': None, 'type': 1, 'name': 'test', 'description': 'No description provided', 'dm_permission': True, 'contexts': None, 'integration_types': [0], 'options': [{'type': 3, 'name': 'test', 'description': 'No description provided', 'required': True}], 'nsfw': False}

here what is sent to the api

using ur decorator

as you can see neither name or description are different

[little cobalt]

still weird, because it was working for some time x3

[fresh sierra]

i agree with that

because after looking at dorukmng

i kill his name sorry

he was using something similar

which is not working either

so if you want i have another solution but ur thing doesnt appli neither name or description

[little cobalt]

whiche one?

[fresh sierra]

so basically

you do a function before the bot run

that itinerate into the self.bot._pending_application_command

and you do ur thing

its like easier and faster

for command in self.bot._pending_application_commands:
    ur function

if you need help with that let me know

[little cobalt]

at the main file?

or just at the config file for the command?

[fresh sierra]

you can do it in the main file

however you will need to handle the sub command

for example :

    def add_default_commands(self):
        for command in self.bot._pending_application_commands
            self.add_default_command(cmd)

    def add_default_command(self, command: discord.ApplicationCommand | discord.SlashCommandGroup):
        if isinstance(command, discord.SlashCommandGroup):
            for cmd in command.walk_commands():
                self.add_default_command(cmd)
        name = ...
        if name is not None:
            command.name = name
        
        description = ...
        if description is not None:
            command.description = description

this is an example so it cant have some mistake its just for u have a little idea of how to do it

for me i have done a file lang.py that have an instance to do all the traduction throught my bot etc and then in my bot client i have a setup_hook that will trigger those function

[sage tendon]

recursion

[fresh sierra]

yeah its for handle the sub command and sub sub command

i think im the only one using pycord that use a setup_hook

[sage tendon]

just no point

the library already does it for you

[fresh sierra]

what does the library does for me ?

the setup hook ?

[sage tendon]

adding commands etc...

[fresh sierra]

im not adding command

im adding description localization etc to command

[sage tendon]

yea, why

just do it in the command decorator

[little cobalt]

why?

[fresh sierra]

because i dont want to do for each single command
name =
description =
name_locazliation =

for each single options of each single command

when i can just do a function and then never touch about that

[sage tendon]

because why not? its literaly right there

why write extra code that does nothing but complicate existing features

[sage tendon]

but you still need to put the descriptions somewhere

you write the same amount

[fresh sierra]

nope

[sage tendon]

plus the code of whatever that mess is

[fresh sierra]

    @subcommand("bot")
    @commands.slash_command()
    @discord.option(name="test", type=str, required=True)
    async def test(self, ctx: LumabotContext, test: str):
        await ctx.respond(ctx.translator.bot.test.success.format(test=test))

its just like that

[sage tendon]

yes, because you still have to write the localizations...

there is nothing you gain

[fresh sierra]

and then i have a yaml file which each thing

    @subcommand("bot")
    @commands.slash_command(name = "test", description = "test", name_localization = {"fr": "test", description_localization = {"fr":"test"})
    @discord.option(name="test"name = "test", description = "test", name_localization = {"fr": "test", description_localization = {"fr":"test"}), type=str, required=True)
    async def test(self, ctx: LumabotContext, test: str):
        await ctx.respond(ctx.translator.bot.test.success.format(test=test))

no way im doing that

[sage tendon]

so instead of just writing the localizations where they belong, you write them somewhere else, and then write a whole bunch of extra code just to put the localizations where they belong

[fresh sierra]

to do the multilang i already need to use yaml file

so im actually coding less

[sage tendon]

why

[fresh sierra]

i have this file (one for french, english german)

[fresh sierra]

and by doing like so

every single localization is set

no need to do anything else

[little cobalt]

you can remove the "" at the text

[fresh sierra]

i know i can but i like to put it

idk why but its stress me without it

and also i will need to do \'

[fresh sierra]

and i also find that 100 times more messy

[sage tendon]

but why do you need to use a yaml

[fresh sierra]

like this is simple nothing to do

[fresh sierra]

how would i do to put each languages ?

[sage tendon]

with a dict? lol

[sage tendon]

you literally already did

just add more languages lol

[fresh sierra]

im not doing that

[fresh sierra]

im doing that

[sage tendon]

you use dicts

well in the example

[fresh sierra]

where is there dict here ?

[sage tendon]

here..

there is no need to use a yaml

[fresh sierra]

i say i dont want to do that

because it take more time

and also

[sage tendon]

but you said you need a yaml

[fresh sierra]

yes for the reponse in the embed

[fresh sierra]

how would i do there to send the good lang

instead of this :

        await ctx.respond(ctx.translator.bot.test.success.format(test=test))

if you have a better way than that :

    @subcommand("bot")
    @commands.slash_command()
    @discord.option(name="test", type=str, required=True)
    async def test(self, ctx: LumabotContext, test: str):
        await ctx.respond(ctx.translator.bot.test.success.format(test=test))

im listening, im always open to new idea ;)

(ik for the requiered = true but i like letting them)

[forest tulip]

It's possible to send few messages with 'for' with interact buttons, for example, 3 messages with same buttons when clicked, the context of the message to which the buttons are attached will be sent
Or its will be broken?
M1: content 1
Button answer: content 1
M3: context 3
Button answer: 3

[shell radish]

yes

[forest tulip]

How I can do that for example?

my usage example should be like this:
/players_list
[Message1]
(Button)<User ID>(Button)<delete>
. . .
[Message22]
(Button)<User ID>(Button)<delete>
End of list

[marble hinge]

How to get slash commands ID?

[tidal vessel]

all the commands of your bot?

[marble hinge]

No just one command

[tidal vessel]

You can use get_application_command() of the Bot object

[marble hinge]

Also how can I make a command humans only

Like I have a on_message_edit event

And many bots are triggering it

I only want humans to trigger it

How can I do it

[tidal vessel]

Other bots activate the commands?

[little cobalt]

you have to check it if its a bot or not

[errant trout]

check message.author.bot... but only humans can trigger slash commands anyway, unless you're talking about prefix commands or something else in messages

[sage tendon]

they said on message edit

[broken pivot]

how I can stop everlasting "is thinking"? I want after 5 seconds output message

[lofty parcel]

You respond to the interaction ?..

[broken pivot]

I didn't quite understand your surprise

[lofty parcel]

If you defer, you then have to respond as you always do

Defer isn't a replacement

I don't quite understand what's your question exactly

[broken pivot]

That is, if there is a defer, then I will always have to respond?

[lofty parcel]

You must always respond

Defer is not a replacement.

If you do not respond, itll just stay as "bot is thinking..." until it times out after 15 minutes.

[broken pivot]

I connect to the socket, and if the connection failed, then it returns nothing and thinks everlasting

[lofty parcel]

Well, yes? If your bot goes down while processing the command then it'll just stay in that thinking state

I don't get what your exact issue here is?

[broken pivot]

Okay, it doesn't matter, I'll solve my problem in practice

[sage tendon]

lol

i think language is also an issue here

[half terrace]

How can I get a certain message with id? Because if I give '.get_message' id of an existing message that was sent when the bot was offline, I get None while if it's a message that was sent when the bot is online, it finds it without a problem. How to find the message as this probably just searches through cached messages?

[sage tendon]

for what use case

[half terrace]

When I'm using a command, the bot sends a message and I want it to delete the one that he sent when the command was used last time

[sage tendon]

always in the exact same channel?

[half terrace]

That's the case, I want it to work with any channel, otherwise I would probably just search through channel history and I'm thinking of an easier solution

[sage tendon]

well it depends
if you want the message to exist only once per channel you probably wanna use a db to store the channel id, to then get the channel, to then fetch the message
if you want the message to exist once globally then its probably fine to just make a single json file with the channel id saved in it

[half terrace]

already did that, as I said it before, the problem is with finding that message

bc if the bot didn't cache it, the 'get_message' method will return None

[sage tendon]

ah, so you do store the channel id?

[half terrace]

wait, you meant both, channel and message id
damn, can't read

[sage tendon]

:>

[half terrace]

thanks

[errant trout]

If you just want access to a message's API calls without any of its content, use channel.get_partial_message; it supports both edit and delete

[half terrace]

okay, thanks :D

[sage tendon]

what's the benefit over just get_message

[errant trout]

get_message relies on cache

[sage tendon]

oh, get_partial_message just creates a fake object to be sent to the API or

[errant trout]

Well yeah, because it only needs the ids

[sage tendon]

yea ok, good to know

[vital bramble]

Is it ok to have an empty string as the author name in an embed?

[sage tendon]

does it work for you? then yes

[half terrace]

why does guild.get_member return None?

[sage tendon]

no member intent usually

[half terrace]

will check it, ty

[little cobalt]

.tag get_x

[sly karma]

Any function that starts with get_ in Py-cord is retrieving the related object from your bots cache. If the object is not in the bots cache the get_ method will return None. Because of this behavior you should check if the get_x method is None and if it is use the fetch_x method.

Why Is Using fetch_ Without Using get_ First Bad?
The fetch_ method makes a call to the discord API. This API call is unneeded if you already have the information. It will also make your command take longer because it will have to send and than wait for a response from the discord API. It will also contribute to the discord APIs global rate limit of 50 requests per second.

What Is Cache?
The cache is a temporary storage inside your bot. It holds many objects from members to messages. When you restart your bot the cache will be empty. When the cache is full it will delete older objects to make space for the new objects.

[sage tendon]

get member should never fail as long as the member is in the guild and member intents are there, though

[half terrace]

in this case it was missing intent

but still thanks for all that info

[crimson lily]

Is there any way to disable formatting in embed.description? the descriptions im working with have "```" a lot of times and it messes up the looks of the output

and nope i cannot edit the content of description by placing backslashes

[sage tendon]

why not?

[crimson lily]

description isnt hardcoded

depends on the contents of the file im accessing

[sage tendon]

replace all ` with \` lol

str.replace()

[crimson lily]

one thing i didnt wanna do lol

[sage tendon]

why?

[crimson lily]

too slow for large files

but yeah if theres no way to disable it then i guess ill just live with it thanks for the help

[sage tendon]

Eh..?
Embed descriptions arent thousands of characters

and string manipulation is so fast

[crimson lily]

makes sense in the real world but after getting into leetcode i cannot convince myself to traverse the entire string over a mild inconvinience

[sage tendon]

its one line of code lol

[crimson lily]

wont be able to live with myself 😔 💔

[sage tendon]

you rn

[fresh sierra]

embed.description = content.replace()

you don’t need to edit the file in itself

[deft kestrel]

how to change my bot profile pic in a single server?

[forest tulip]

Its possible to update bot status every 15 seconds from @task.loop in another file? I just need to take out a function that updates the status to another file, but a nonetype error appears there

[sage tendon]

show your code

[sage tendon]

not possible

[forest tulip]

@bot.event
async def on_ready():
    print(f"{bot.user.display_name} is ready and online!")
    channel = bot.get_channel(1243993814419636278)
    await channel.send(f"***{bot.user.display_name} - Online!***    :white_check_mark:", delete_after=3)
    update_counter.start()

@tasks.loop()
async def update_counter():
        headers = {
        'User-Agent': config.user_description
        }
        ulr = 'https://vrchat.com/api/1/visits'
        response = requests.get(ulr, headers=headers)
        if response.status_code == 200:
            current_online = response.text
            activity = discord.Activity(type=discord.ActivityType.streaming, name=f'VRC Online: {current_online}!', url="https://twitch.tv/vrchat")
            await bot.change_presence(activity = activity)
        else:
            print("Error fetching status", response.status_code, response.text)
        await asyncio.sleep(15)

[lofty parcel]

1. Don't use requests
2. You're missing the interval

[forest tulip]

Why about requests

[forest tulip]

this is the working code at the moment, but when I do the same thing in another file so that it just runs here, it will get the change_presence error

[lofty parcel]

It's not an async library and it blocks your running code

[lofty parcel]

Because you're probably missing the bot object. You have to use a cog or probably pass the bot object

[forest tulip]

What I can use then for api requests, most of functions its api requests

[lofty parcel]

You use asyncio

Or httpio or something like that which is more closer to the requests library but async

?tag requests

[limber wagon]

Why you should not use the requests library for your bot
requests is a popular HTTP library for Python. It is however not a good option for Discord bots, since it is not async and blocking.

This essentially means that your bot will not be able to execute any code at all while a request is happening. Since requests usually take a few seconds to complete, this can have a detrimental effect on your bot's performance. E.g if a user executes a command that performs a request taking 5 seconds to complete, no one else will be able to use your bot for those 5 seconds.

Please look at using a HTTP library that has async support, such as aiohttp or httpx

[forest tulip]

Wow, thanks, I will know that now

[lapis dock]

You should not put update_counter.start() in on_ready as it is possible for on_ready to run multiple times (IE when your bot reconnects after losing connection) Instead you can start the task before bot.run and use await bot.wait_until_ready() as the first line in the task callback.

Also use aiohttp as py-cord uses it so it is already installed

[forest tulip]

Oki Doki ill try, also I have another question I know about defer, but is there another way to bypass 3 seconds of timeout? Sometimes api answer a bit longer then 3 second

[lapis dock]

Nope. Defer is the only way to extend the timeout for interactions. Why does defer not work in your case?

[forest tulip]

Im not sure, close vs for now, but I get errors like interaction already called if I adding defer

[lapis dock]

When you defer that counts as a "response" to the interaction so you need to use interaction.followup or ctx.followup after deferring. If you are sending messages in a slash command you can use ctx.respond(...) and it will choose automatically for you

[forest tulip]

Oooh

Will try tomorrow, big thanks with that

[lofty parcel]

If even the defer is failing, that's your network

[forest tulip]

what is timeout time with defer?

[lapis dock]

15 minutes

[forest tulip]

well, that's definitely enough for me, I don't think it will take me 15 minutes for 2 requests with json data

Haha

[lapis dock]

Definitely not lol

[lofty parcel]

I meant that if you can't defer under 3 seconds, it's definitely your network

[forest tulip]

Maybe you right too, because sometimes its working fast, about 1.4+- s to respond

[sage tendon]

is the defer the first statement?

[crimson lily]

Any inbuilt method to save discord.Attachment locally to the specified path?

[errant trout]

https://docs.pycord.dev/en/master/api/models.html#discord.Attachment.save

[crimson lily]

oh yeah i saw that but couldnt figure out the use
bot.save(file) doesnt work, neither does ctx.save

[marble hinge]

How to get channel id in which a message was sent?

@errant trout

Can you help pls

[errant trout]

message.channel.id

[errant trout]

it's an async function Attachment.save

[marble hinge]

K ty

Also I have a small issue

Can u help?

[errant trout]

go on

[marble hinge]

@bot.event
async def on_message(modmessage):
    channel_id_modmail = 12394748474744
    reaction = '✅'
    if modmessage.channel.id == None:
    
        chl = bot.get_channel(channel_id_modmail)

        await modmessage.add_reaction(reaction)
        embed = discord.Embed(title='Are you sure you want to send this modmail?',description=f'Your message- `{modmessage.content}`')
        modmessage.send(embed=embed)
@bot.event
async def on_reaction_add(reaction,modmessage):
    await modmessage.send('ok')

Nothing is being sent to me for some reason @errant trout

All intents are fine

[errant trout]

why would channel.id ever be none

that's just not possible

[marble hinge]

Cuz that's a dm

Dm has no channel id

[errant trout]

...wrong

you should check if message.guild is None

[marble hinge]

So it should be
if message.guild.id == None

??

[errant trout]

no, just message.guild

otherwise that would raise an error in DMs

you can just do if not message.guild

[marble hinge]

So
Like this?

if not message.guild:
  ...

[errant trout]

yeah

[marble hinge]

Ohk

[crimson lily]

OH so it's Attachment.save and not the variable that I stored the attachment in?

[errant trout]

no, it is the variable

like, if you called it file then literally await file.save(path)

[marble hinge]

@bot.event
async def on_message(modmessage):
    channel_id_modmail = 1247498881818951700
    reaction = '✅'
    
    if not modmessage.guild:
        chl = bot.get_channel(channel_id_modmail)

        # Add a reaction to the user's message
        await modmessage.add_reaction(reaction)

        # Send a confirmation embed (only if it hasn't been sent before)
        confirmation_msg = await modmessage.channel.history().find(lambda m: m.author == bot.user and m.embeds)
        if not confirmation_msg:
            embed = discord.Embed(title='Are you sure you want to send this modmail?', description=f'Your message: `{modmessage.content}`')
            await modmessage.channel.send(embed=embed)
            await confirmation_msg.add_reaction(reaction)


@bot.event
async def on_reaction_add(reaction, user):
    if user != bot.user:
        if reaction.emoji == '✅':
            # Get the original message that was reacted to
            original_message = reaction.message

            # Your code to handle the confirmed modmail here
            await original_message.channel.send(f'Confirmed: {original_message.content}')

This code should add the reaction to only the message but it's adding the reaction to the bot message aswell. And the event of on reaction add is working for th bot message too can u help @errant trout

@errant trout i gotta go can u help me fast pls 🙂

[errant trout]

well

[marble hinge]

What's the error?

[errant trout]

which message is it meant to add to

you just got the history code wrong

[marble hinge]

The message i sent

Lemme show ss

[errant trout]

the 2nd last line?

[marble hinge]

@errant trout

It should only add the reaction to Hi message i sent

[fresh sierra]

so remove the await confirmation_msg.add_reaction(reaction)

this will add the regaction to the confirmation message

so not only to the modmail message

[errant trout]

well..you have it set to react on every message

just check the user before using add_reaction

[upper flint]

Hello! Some of my people have troubles with button callbacks. Sometimes when button is getting disabled and the message is updated all buttons just disappear. Any ideas? The chances of this happening is pretty rare and right now we're trying to understand why exactly does this happen. Any Ideas on this? If you need any info just tell me, I will ask them and respond to you this evening

[fresh sierra]

are you using disable on timeout ?

[upper flint]

Basically, we're just calling View.disable_all_items and updating the view via interaction.response.edit_message()

[fresh sierra]

because im using that and im facing the this issue, the view is disappearing sometime

[upper flint]

The timeout for view is set to None

[upper flint]

That's what I'm saying. I tried browsing github issues about this but couldn't find anything

[fresh sierra]

are you passing the view each time with view = ...

[upper flint]

Yes: interaction.response.edit_message(view=view)

And right before: view.disable_all_items(). Maybe some logic in between but nothing related to the view itself

[fresh sierra]

so i think there is a small chance where discord remove a view if everything is timeout

because im not using disable_all_items, and i got that also using the disable_on_timeout

but not everytime

[upper flint]

If everything is timeout?

[fresh sierra]

if everything i timeout / disabled

[upper flint]

When did this started happening to you?

[fresh sierra]

i think it has always been the case when using disable_on_timeout

so i will say more than 6 month

[upper flint]

Alright

So this is discord thing and not a py-cord's fault?

[fresh sierra]

but i think is not a bug from py-cord but from the library that removed it

[fresh sierra]

i think

[upper flint]

Alright. Hope they will fix it soon

[fresh sierra]

im not so sure about it

since it has been 6 month i think no one really know why its happening

[lapis dock]

Yeah, we cant fix it unless we can track down the problem and no one has found it yet.

[fresh sierra]

and not even sure we can even if we know cos that can come from discord

[errant trout]

i doubt it's a discord issue tbh

if you wanna fix it, mess with the default View.on_timeout code and see if it's possible to prevent https://github.com/Pycord-Development/pycord/blob/master/discord/ui/view.py#L364

[fresh sierra]

Donyou think it can come from the on_timeout even with the disabled all item ?

And the issue is that doesn’t appear everytime so it will be harder to guess but if it can only come from this one I think

I will try to change it a title bit to see

[errant trout]

If the issue is caused by disable_on_timeout, then the code I linked is where the problem is

It's not a problem I've ever encountered, so ultimately i can't really test it

[fresh sierra]

not only, Андрей experience also it using disable_all_item and edit the message

[round heart]

This started happening recently, anyone ever come across this or at least can understand what might be happening here?

ERROR:asyncio:Task was destroyed but it is pending!
task: <Task pending name='pycord: on_ready' coro=<Client._run_event() running at [...]/python3.10/site-packages/discord/client.py:400> wait_for=<_GatheringFuture pending cb=[Task.task_wakeup()]>>

[devout mirage]

pycord

[stray pasture]

yeah it was happening for me as well, I saw there what a issue raised on git about it

I had to remove one coroutine from on_ready where I init the database connections

[round heart]

Oh sweet, thanks for the reply. Any chance you have a link? I tried doing a couple of searches and didn't come up with anything that matched this issue.

[stray pasture]

it happens for more than juste on_ready

https://github.com/Pycord-Development/pycord/issues/2179#issuecomment-1985553864

[little cobalt]

Do you got any blocking func?

Or librarys?

[round heart]

Ah. Okay, it's "The Bug". Thanks.

[round heart]

Not that I'm aware of. I am forcing a non-async library (pycognito) into an executor, but that doesn't use on_ready

[little cobalt]

Which version do you use?

I use 2.5 and haven't got the error yet

[round heart]

This is also 2.5

[fresh sierra]

got that same issue with on_message using an async library to get the message by doing some trick (running async function for the message which should be def)

[stray pasture]

yeah a fiew people got the same issue, I think the cause is a bit hard to find tho 😄

[little cobalt]

But I wonder which Version did you use?

[fresh sierra]

version doesnt change anything in this case

[little cobalt]

K

I only got the error when I use .close()

[forest tulip]

Why requests and aiohttp do they give me different responses?
how can I get the same answer through aiohttp as in requests

[little cobalt]

?

[forest tulip]

For example,
import requests response.text giving me text
Import aiohttp response.text() giving me another text that not similar what I getting in requests library

I used to get certain lines from the server response, for example DisplayName, but I can't do this in the aiohttp library because I get another response where these lines are not present

although I send all the data to the request the same

[sinful juniper]

What is the best way to make my slash command responses in multiple languages? With a json file?

[shell radish]

or yaml or a simple text file with your own decoder

it’s really up to you

[little cobalt]

I would use a json or yaml file

[shell radish]

personally I would try to build a language thing by yourself for fun

[fresh sierra]

yaml is more easy to write into it and then you can convert it into dict likens on

Json

[sinful juniper]

Is there a good explanation for this?

[fresh sierra]

About why it’s easier to write in a yaml ?

Just the format like you don’t need to mind about {}

[sinful juniper]

Okay. Yes, I meant whether there is an example somewhere where you can see how to implement it in the code structure.

[fresh sierra]

How to implemente it really depend about u, I can tell u what I’m doing if u want but it’s I think kinda advanced

[upper flint]

How to check if message has view attached to it or not?

I've seen the View.from_message() method that constructs new view from message but I'm kind of hesitant to use it. I only need to know if the view is present or not

[fresh sierra]

message.components

[upper flint]

Thanks!

How to fetch a discord message? In docs, bot.get_message() method does not do an API call to fetch the message and there is no bot.fetch_message() method that could've helped me

[fresh sierra]

channel.fetch_message()

[sinful juniper]

I currently have it this way, but I may be looking for another method, as I often get an error with my current method (see pictures). As can be seen in the last screenshot, for example.

• https://max1385.no-friends.xyz/Code_pJzaeNS99m.png
• https://max1385.no-friends.xyz/Code_RGul6Qy4Cw.png
• https://max1385.no-friends.xyz/Discord_PRKIW7a5ZC.png

[fresh sierra]

You should use handle the case with a default language

with else : load_translation(default)

For me I’m doing like that :
ctx.translator.bot.test.name
To get for example the name for the test command in the bot group

[sinful juniper]

when the bot joins a server, the language is automatically set to english. that's why i always thought it didn't matter.
https://max1385.no-friends.xyz/Code_zI7j5yiAgT.png

[fresh sierra]

Handle the case

If the bot is off, or it bug

Or any reason

It will not work so just handle it will a English yaml for example

[sinful juniper]

https://max1385.no-friends.xyz/Code_RvnxvDeJ8x.png
https://max1385.no-friends.xyz/Code_6TozLbQGZ8.png
I have all the english translations in there.
I mean, it doesn't matter which language it loads. when the bot joins the server, every server gets the language english by default. so the bot then calls up the language english with a command or german.

[fresh sierra]

if in ur database there is no result spit will not work

so yeah it matter to put a default thing with the else

and that ur issue

[sinful juniper]

i'll have a quick look to see if a language has been defined in the database for the server when executing the command.

[fresh sierra]

man it’s if language data and, so if there is not result which can occur when the bot is off, it will not work

just do an else language = “english”

it’s 2 lines and will handle all ur issue

[sinful juniper]

So you think that will solve my error?

[fresh sierra]

I don’t think I’m sure

Since the if is not trigger

The language = is not set

So language is not associated with a value

[sinful juniper]

The error does not occur when a command is executed on a server I think

Since there would be a guild id in my error report I guess

[fresh sierra]

because it depend if the thing is in the database

if a guild has beeen joined and the bot didn’t add it for any reason like offline a bug or else

the guild will not be able to do command

well i have told u how to solve it, if u don’t want to listen i can’t do anything im sorry

[sinful juniper]

no, all good, i recognize your point of view and appreciate it. i just checked mongodb and yes, i only have 7 entries for languages although i have 9 servers on the bot.

[deft kestrel]

why the script are broken

[lapis dock]

I think the keyword there is "Temporary" It might just be discord or your internet provider or something in between is having troubles

If it still does not work after 10min than it might be something else but you should be able to just wait a few minutes

[lapis dock]

Is it working now?

[sage tendon]

the DNS is having issues

so whatever DNS you use was dead for a sec
or as wolfy said the entire internet but I'm pretty sure that would be a different error

[young cove]

How would I go about checking a purge both for the user and a specific string in the message?

I have the user (the bot) working so far:

   def is_me(m):
        return m.author == bot.user
    channel = bot.get_channel(xxx)
  await channel.purge(check=is_me, before=ctx.interaction)

Thanks in advance 🙏

[shell radish]

def check(m):
  return m.author == bot.user and "abc" in m.content

[young cove]

Oh duh thanks.

[keen relic]

can i add bridge command in cog

[keen relic]

@lapis dock

[keen relic]

..

[fresh sierra]

yes

just read the doc

[rugged lodge]

Here's the bridge commands example.

[fresh sierra]

is there a native way to do

nsfw_group = discord.SlashCommandGroup(name="nsfw", guild_only=True, checks=[discord.is_nsfw()])

using checks
for the command appear in the list of / but will not run if its not a nsfw channel

[frail ocean]

You mean with checks on command use

[lapis dock]

commands.is_nsfw

commands.guild_only

[fresh sierra]

This one already work with guild_only = true in it

NSFW = true was working but not showing the command

But I will try command. Nsfw

[lapis dock]

Is the command marked as nsfw? Checks should not effect what commands show up in the list

[fresh sierra]

i still not tried the check=

[lapis dock]

what?
Also I might be wrong but I think it is discord policy that nsfw commands are not to be shown except for in nsfw channels. What you are doing might be against the policy

[fresh sierra]

oooo i wasnt knowing that

thanks i will correct that

[lapis dock]

I am trying to check to see if it is actually true, I just remember something like that a while ago

Prohibited behaviors and activities include those that:

• Distribute adult content to users under the age of 18, and without age-restricted labels where applicable and appropriate to users 18 and older;
  • Unless your Application is labeled as age-restricted, you will make sure your Application is appropriate for users under the age of eighteen (18) and complies with all applicable laws (including those applicable to users under the age of eighteen (18)).

So it is still, on the line. I think in general it would be safer to just hide them in non nsfw channels

The commands need to be marked nsfw anyways. And discord might autohide based on that fact

idk if you ever want your bot verified, but making it as "clean" as possible will help a lot. From what I can tell is that they will deny off of any little thing that they deem wrong

[atomic fern]

is there a way to set modal input can only filled by integer? so if contains non integer then the placeholder will be red

like how slash commands options do

[little cobalt]

str only

you would have to check it at your own

I am not sure I understand the difference between these 2 slash commands decorator

from discord.commands import slash_command
from discord import slash_command

Does anyone know the difference ?

[tidal vessel]

Hmmm, in the repository examples, the commands.slash_command() decorator is used in Cogs. But I'm not sure, and the slash_command() decorator is used outside of Cogs.

If I'm wrong, someone correct me.

[fresh sierra]

It depend if you are using discord.Bot or commands.Bot si only / or also prefix

[fresh sierra]

Not totally true

[stray pasture]

I am using from discord import AutoShardedBot

[fresh sierra]

So i think it’s discord.slash_command()

[stray pasture]

I see because both of them seem to be working without any problem

so not sure if they are the same

or which one I should use over the other

[fresh sierra]

I think they refer to the same thing at the end, it depend of the bot.command() at the end which is different

But normally it’s discord.slash_command if u are using discord.Bot

Because with commands.Bot it can either be commands.commands or commands.slash_commands

And I think you can even but discord.command() with discord.Bot

[stray pasture]

I see I will stick with them in that case ! Thank you

[modern prairie]

How do you wait for a button press, just like how you wait for reaction_add

[fresh sierra]

you dont

[modern prairie]

is it not possible?

[fresh sierra]

excatly

you need to use callbaxk

[modern prairie]

So given a situation where you have to find out when a user clicks on a button sent by another bot, you can't find out that right

[fresh sierra]

yes the bot cant know if a user click on a button

also the case for any view

[modern prairie]

Ahh, understood.

Thanks for the explanation

[harsh bloom]

Hi, my bot takes ~10 min to fetch data from multiple endpoints (I'm using requests). After 6-7 minutes the bot goes offline (on Discord, the script still runs) and then comes back with the answer automatically.

Why is it so?

[fresh sierra]

Don’t use requests

Request is not asynchronous so because of that it blocked ur whole bot for 7min

.tag norequests

[sly karma]

Why you should not use the requests library for your bot
requests is a popular HTTP library for Python. It is however not a good option for Discord bots, since it is not async and blocking.

This essentially means that your bot will not be able to execute any code at all while a request is happening. Since requests usually take a few seconds to complete, this can have a detrimental effect on your bot's performance. E.g if a user executes a command that performs a request taking 5 seconds to complete, no one else will be able to use your bot for those 5 seconds.

Please look at using a HTTP library that has async support, such as aiohttp or httpx

[harsh bloom]

where is the docs for this thing

you've bot answers for everything 😄 where is it stored I'll ctrl+F

[fresh sierra]

there is not really doc about it, like in the doc it just prevents to use only async function (await)

[fresh sierra]

im doing my best to help ;​​​ )​, it also help me to improve my code ;)

options are being screwy

AttributeError: Option does not take min_value or max_value if not of type SlashCommandOptionType.integer or SlashCommandOptionType.number

note that this is on an option that declares that it's an integer

[lapis dock]

Check to make sure date.today().year is returning an integer.

[sly pebble]

and yes i'm using from discord import SlashCommandOptionType for the typings

that same error happens on each thing that uses type number

[fresh sierra]

Can you show use the code ?

[sly pebble]

here

[fresh sierra]

Can you try to put only int

[sly pebble]

i just did that and its even weirder

[fresh sierra]

Did u try wifh the decorator ?

[sly pebble]

https://pst.innomi.net/paste/7fq4nxe9paphx48benhpuwjj

[lapis dock]

The kwarg is input_type

Not type

[fresh sierra]

ik

its input_type

wolfy is too fast for me

type is only using option not Option

[lapis dock]

So it was defaulting to str and ignoring whatever you put in type

[sly pebble]

replacing type= with input_type= seems to return the same error

is it better if i just forego defining types

[fresh sierra]

you can use decorator

[sly pebble]

will try

[fresh sierra]

but isnt there an issue with SlahsOptionType ?

SlashCommandOptionType

[lapis dock]

Did you replace it on all of the options? Or is it still erroring on added year?

[sly pebble]

all options

[lapis dock]

But the same exact error?

same result

i can drop the whole file if you want

[fresh sierra]

i will to debu that

let me 5mi,n

[sly pebble]

current version and the original one from first ghostbin

[fresh sierra]

mhhh

wtf is that

[sly pebble]

might want to correct tabbing lol

[little cobalt]

na its fine

[fresh sierra]

i correct it

and still that

[little cobalt]

just your IDE doesnt like it

[fresh sierra]

like

well lets see if itrun

[sly pebble]

also yes im on latest pycord

fresh install as of yesterday

[lapis dock]

your first option has input_input_type sub i doubt that is the issue for the current error

[sly pebble]

masterful gambit on my part

odd that it doesnt cause an error tho

i also tried the option decorator

that throws a whole new error

purepain

[fresh sierra]

well

first

min value cant be 0

2nd

2024-06-07 18:27:55 [WARNING] : Failed to load extension Slashs.Bot.test: Extension 'Slashs.Bot.test' raised an error: AttributeError: Option does not take min_value or max_value if not of type SlashCommandOptionType.integer or SlashCommandOptionType.number

[sly pebble]

yeah thats the same error i was getting

[fresh sierra]

i think there is some issue with typing using Option

[little cobalt]

is it still happening if you just do int?

[sly pebble]

also it not being able to be 0 is a weird limitation

[fresh sierra]

let me try with my decorator

[sly pebble]

yeah its what i tried

[fresh sierra]

yep

[sly pebble]

i also just converted everything to decorator

[little cobalt]

can you try it with discord.option?

[sly pebble]

https://pst.innomi.net/paste/qssn5drskq8m3en2npyj58u5

literally all of the options are required

??

[little cobalt]

just send a screenshot

[sly pebble]

of the code or the traceback

[lapis dock]

I think if you specify a type with input_type= you have to use SlashCommandOptionType if you want to pass int just pass it positionally.

[fresh sierra]

well the issue come from discord.Option

with the decorator it works

[sly pebble]

everything was defined as SlashCommandOptionType.string tho

and such

[sly pebble]

what decorator code did you use?

[fresh sierra]

discord.option

    @commands.slash_command()
    @discord.option(name="name", description="Name of the map", type=str, required=True)
    @discord.option(name="mappers", description="Comma separated list of map creators/contributors", type=str, required=True)
    @discord.option(name="addition_month", description="What month was the map added to FE2?", choices=['January', 'February', 'March', 'April', 'May', 'June', 'July', 'August', 'September', 'October', 'November', 'December'], required=True)
    @discord.option(name="highlight", description="Is the map a highlighted map?", type=bool, required=True)
    @discord.option(name="normal_buttons", description="Amount of normal buttons in a map", type=int, min_value=0, required=True)
    @discord.option(name="group_buttons", description="Amount of group buttons in a map", type=int, min_value=0, required=True)
    @discord.option(name="thumbnail", description="Link to a picture of the map", type=str, required=True)
    async def add_map(self, ctx: discord.ApplicationContext, name: str, mappers: str, addition_month: str, highlight: bool, normal_buttons: int, group_buttons: int, thumbnail: str):
        await ctx.respond('Almost done! Please select the events that the map supports using the menu below.')

[sly pebble]

is my code just haunted 😭

well alright i'll give that a shot

[little cobalt]

you can remove the type= stuff, you already do it at the async def name()

[fresh sierra]

you made me learn something thanks

[sly pebble]

oddly enough this works but the code i had doesn't, this is weird as hell

i need to see a diff of these two hold on

[fresh sierra]

i think i will let it,

    @subcommand("bot")
    @commands.slash_command()
    @discord.option(name="test", required=True)
    async def test(self, ctx: LumabotContext, test: str):

this doesnt look great

[sly pebble]

ohhhh wait

[sly pebble]

is this in a cog or no

because you use @commands.slash_command() while mine uses @discord.slash_command()

and yours worked

actually wait it still bugs if i change that in my code

hm

[fresh sierra]

that doesnt change anything

just im using prefix + the other

[sly pebble]

yea i tried and nothing changed

[fresh sierra]

does ur code still have issue

@little cobalt thanks because of you i can even remove the decorator completly.

[sly pebble]

yeah

im using diffs to find what's different between the code

[lapis dock]

uhhh, I found the answer

[sly pebble]

oh boy

what is it

[lapis dock]

Remember when I said use input_type, you just are not supposed to have anything there at all
Option(int, ...) aparently input_type is positional only. You cannot use it as a kwarg.

[sly pebble]

...

buh

so the first comma of each option regardless of decorator or not

should always be the SlashCommandOptionType?

or the int

or whatever else

[lapis dock]

not sure about decorator, but for useing discord.Option yes

[lapis dock]

That does not matter, either works

[sly pebble]

im gonna give the same thing a shot for decorator then one sec

[lapis dock]

So in theory if you remove input_type= from all the options in maps.py from this message it should work.

[sly pebble]

i'll give it a shot

well the bot loads but it throws this instead, giving current vers of maps.py

plagued by horrors

[lapis dock]

That is just a discord limitation

[sly pebble]

how much is positional?

[lapis dock]

wdym?

[sly pebble]

everything in this is required tho

like all the options have required=True

and its throwing the error on the last 3 options

[lapis dock]

oh,

[sly pebble]

yeahhhhhh

i feel that

hmmm

the only significant differences in the last 4 are that max time uses default, and all 3 of those number/int requiring options do not use max_value

so what happens if i add a max value

WHAT

IT FUCKING WORKS WHEN I REMOVE DEFAULT

bro

[lapis dock]

Oh yeah, default forces it to be non-required

[sage tendon]

you never need required=True btw

[sly pebble]

ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh

[lapis dock]

some poeple like it for clarity tho

[sly pebble]

noted on both fronts

well damn

glad thats over with

thanks for the help o7

[sage tendon]

float values suck for options btw

from a user perspective

Because it depends on the client locale on whether you use . or , as the decimal point

[sly pebble]

horror.

[sage tendon]

yea

it is kind of annoying :3

[sly pebble]

i can probably do away with it for max_time but im basically required to use it for the difficulty one, because the game i'm building the bot for utilizes a decimal difficulty system

then agani

oh wait yeah this is gonna be fun later on

oh well, later me's problem

again, thank you all sm

[sage tendon]

np

and if thats minutes, btw, decimals really dont make much sense

unless you really wanna make sure that something runs half a minute longer

[sly pebble]

just doing it because some maps have previously used max times with .500 or simila

im the only one using this command anyhow so

its not too bad

[fresh sierra]

finnaly finshed to remove all discord.option

was long

[sage tendon]

i hope you mean discord.Option

[fresh sierra]

nah

i dont need the decorator

[sage tendon]

i hope you stub your toe

[fresh sierra]

(im using it only for the choices)

[sage tendon]

?

[lapis dock]

discord.Option gang 💯

[sly pebble]

oh also wait one quick question

[sage tendon]

i hope you all stub your toes

decorator is objectively superior

[sly pebble]

when you use a view, how does the original command that creates the view actually use the data from the view

[sage tendon]

wdym "use the data"

the command interaction is done after its code is finished

[fresh sierra]

like discord.option is not useful in my case since the only thing that i cant pass directly in the func is choices, max_value and min_value. And since im not using max and min value i need it only for the choices

[lapis dock]

you can use await View.wait() and then access the views attributes but generally you are able to "use" all you need in the callback of the component.

[sly pebble]

well i made this, the reply it gives to selecting stuff is from the callback, but is it possible for the slash command to see the selections or no

[sage tendon]

see wolfy's message

[lapis dock]

Docs: View.wait

[sly pebble]

ah i see

so just for clarification, am i able to get this block of data in the view's callback?

and if so how

docs are a bit confusing

[sage tendon]

holy shit

[fresh sierra]

by passing it

view(name, mappers, ...)

[sage tendon]

congratulations, i have never before seen a command with that many options, and that total length

[fresh sierra]

nah i got more, so give me the title

[sage tendon]

no

[sly pebble]

:3

eh i'm still kinda toying with ideas and seeing what works best

[sage tendon]

I wanted to say "use modals" but i forgot discord never made modals anywhere near useful

[sly pebble]

yeah lol

i looked into those first

[lapis dock]

But yeah, you have to pass it to the view

[fresh sierra]

    @subcommand(f"stats setup")
    @commands.slash_command()
    @discord.option(name="mode", type=str, choices=["enable", "disable"], default=True, required=False)
    async def add(self, ctx: LumabotContext, role: discord.Role, mode: str, time: str = None, voice: str = None, message: int = None, mandatory: discord.Role = None, forbidden: discord.Role = None):

but its not a competition

[sly pebble]

ok so when passing things to the view, just dropping them all in the view=Events() works?

[sage tendon]

if your __init__ makes use of them

[sly pebble]

hmm

i havent done something like that before so this is gonna be new for me

[sage tendon]

its just basic OOP, not complicated

[sly pebble]

ye, just realized that and now i feel fine again

[sly pebble]

also i will say, the only other idea i had for getting around this was starting like a back and forth conversation between the bot and the user, where the user just has to keep using replies so i dont have to apply for message content intent

both are lengthy either way though

[lapis dock]

I think the command is a better option. In reality this is not something you will be doing very often so its ok if it is long. If you are on PC there will be no issues

mobile it might be hard to see but oh well

[sly pebble]

mhm

and im the only one doing this command

and on pc so

definitely reassuring tho ty

[little cobalt]

@fresh sierra the client._pending_application_commands is working well

and I have to write less code

[fresh sierra]

perfect then !

with that you will need only

    @commands.slash_command()
    @discord.option(name="kind", choices=["add", "remove", "edit"])
    async def channel_rate(self, ctx: LumabotContext, kind: str, channel: discord.TextChannel, rate: float = 1.0):

to put all name, localization, options etc etc

[little cobalt]

I only use slash_command()

[fresh sierra]

yeah but i mean you can also pass each option name, etc etc

here a part of my yaml if it can help you

[little cobalt]

na

I use json

[fresh sierra]

yeah but that the same

i mean options, name description choices

also why are you using json and not yaml ? yaml isnt easier to write than json ?

[sage tendon]

i will never understand why y'all overcomplicate it like this

[fresh sierra]

its not complicated

[little cobalt]

is actually easier to use it for me like that

and I dont really have to change any code like that

[tidal estuary]

If you had a bot that was performing badly but had no apparent errors aside from interaction failures, how would you go about profiling it?

[sage tendon]

"performing badly" how

[tidal estuary]

All commands seem to intermittently stop responding, games etc get interaction failed

It's a big, not great codebase and I can't find anything about profiling cogs

[sage tendon]

you probably use sync instead of async often

do you use any db stuff?

[tidal estuary]

I try not to but there's definitely stuff like that going on that I am unaware of or forgot

Yeah, tons, I try to use async for all of that

That'd be where you'd look first?

[little cobalt]

do you use anything like requests, time.sleep or a None asyncio DB?

[tidal estuary]

requests yes, only async sleep, and no

[little cobalt]

requests is gonna block your bot

[tidal estuary]

I didn't consider that, ngl

Well, that's a few good places to start

appreciate it 🙂

[little cobalt]

.requests

[sly karma]

Why you should not use the requests library for your bot
requests is a popular HTTP library for Python. It is however not a good option for Discord bots, since it is not async and blocking.

This essentially means that your bot will not be able to execute any code at all while a request is happening. Since requests usually take a few seconds to complete, this can have a detrimental effect on your bot's performance. E.g if a user executes a command that performs a request taking 5 seconds to complete, no one else will be able to use your bot for those 5 seconds.

Please look at using a HTTP library that has async support, such as aiohttp or httpx

[bronze jewel]

@bot.event
async def on_message(message):
    if message.author == bot.user:
        return 
    if message.content.lower() == "bien":
        await message.channel.send("mercii!!")```
why is this not working ??

[little cobalt]

how did you define your bot?

[bronze jewel]

bot = discord.Bot()

[lapis dock]

.tag idw

[sly karma]

Saying it doesn't work or asking what's wrong with this code is not helpful for yourself or others.
Describe what you expect and/or tried (with your code), and what isn't going right.
Please provide any errors you get for optimal assistance.

[bronze jewel]

there's no errors because the code should work and i think i found the solution it's basically intents

[lapis dock]

probably message_content

[little cobalt]

it is also at the docs mentioned...

[sage tendon]

who needs docs when we have chatgpt amirite

[warm linden]

how do i get who clicks the button? e.g. interaction.author to mention them?

[sage tendon]

just like that

except its interaction.user i think

[little cobalt]

[nova epoch]

It is interaction.user

.rtfm discord.Interaction.user

.rtfm interactions.defer

[sly karma]

Target not found, try again and make sure to check your spelling.

[warm linden]

how am i able to remove the "application failed to respond" when it did work though

[lofty parcel]

You're most likely responding incorrectly

Or you're taking more than 3 seconds

[warm linden]

should i send the bit of the code?

im using

    return await interaction.channel.send(embed=e)

[lofty parcel]

yeah no,

[warm linden]

oh

[lofty parcel]

you're supposed to respond to the interaction

you must respond to all interactions

you use interaction.response.send_message

[warm linden]

so interaction.respond.send_message

oh yeah

one sec

thanks

[warm linden]

quick one - what if i dont want it to reply to to first messsage

[lofty parcel]

What are you trying to do

[warm linden]

just trying to make it send a message in the interaction channel

without it replying to the first message

[lofty parcel]

You can't hide the reply.
You can have a workaround by deffering the interaction and sending the normal message. The defer will "prevent" the interaction from "failing"

[warm linden]

yes that exactly that i couldn't find it tho

.rtfm interactions.defer

[sly karma]

Target not found, try again and make sure to check your spelling.

[warm linden]

how

[lofty parcel]

It is interaction.response.defer

[warm linden]

ahhhhh

thanks man

[warm linden]

how comes i have 2 or more buttons in a msg but only 1 of them is showing?

[fresh sierra]

i dont understand you're questions

can you explain the usage for i can better undrstand ?

because if a message has more than 1 button it mean than more than 1 button will be shown, but maybe you mean more than 1 button in ur class but only some in the message, and for that it will depend or the self.add_item. Or maybe you want to refer to the disable optio,ns

[sage tendon]

Because you're not doing it right
Show your code

[warm linden]

https://pastebin.com/EiDRtmAN

[rugged lodge]

https://pastebin.com/raw/EiDRtmAN

[sage tendon]

if i can tell right from the indentation, your button isn't on the right indentation level

or wait no i think it is

can you show the code where you send the message with the view

just screenshot that part, i hate pastebin ngl

[warm linden]

this bit?

[sage tendon]

before anything, i'd check why its underlined red lol

you are using the wrong view

[sage tendon]

the one you sent here is called differently

[warm linden]

nah i was testing something out 😭

interaction.guild isn't working for me no more

[warm linden]

lemme quickly give some background - it's a ticket system t

the command i screenshoted send out the public message to click a button and create a private channek

once thats made it send another embed

to close and or claim the ticket

[warm linden]

but only one of these buttons are sending

[sage tendon]

yea, and i asked for the code that is supposed to send the message with this 2 button view

but the one you sent uses a different view

[warm linden]

is this what u mean?

[sage tendon]

yea
now show that message inside discord

[warm linden]

            await channel.send(f"Hey {interaction.user.mention}, a <@&1088673223996096542> or a member in our <@&1088673224998531225> team will be with you shortly.", embed=support, view=ComSupportOptions())`

[sage tendon]

no

the message that results from that..

[little cobalt]

wait, do you use Replit?

[warm linden]

yes

[warm linden]

yeah im trying to fix the interaction.guild bit

bc now its not working

so i cant actually show nothing

[lofty parcel]

bud show the view code

[sage tendon]

they did.

in the pastebin.

[sage tendon]

is this part of a command or where is this in

[warm linden]

no its not

[sage tendon]

"or where is this in"

[edgy nest]

your buttons are named the same thing in your view

[warm linden]

its in a differnt class

[edgy nest]

change the name of one of them

[warm linden]

different

[lofty parcel]

yeah i was abou to say that

same callback name

[sage tendon]

oh, i thought the label was the "name" used

[edgy nest]

that's not how python works

[warm linden]

wait to see if it works can i not use interaction.guild?

[sage tendon]

nothing to do with how python works though
i just misunderstood the decorator then

[edgy nest]

if the two functions are named the same they override

[warm linden]

ahhh

[edgy nest]

it has everything to do with how py works

[sage tendon]

yea i thought the decorator would like just eat them and yknow do different stuff with it
man idk

[lofty parcel]

whats not working about interaction.guild?..

[warm linden]

    guild = interaction.guild
AttributeError: 'Button' object has no attribute 'guild'

[sage tendon]

you mixed up the parameters

switch them around

button and interaction

[lofty parcel]

you might want to learn python

[sage tendon]

tbf the order of those parameters is a little random, but yes, it should be clear from the error :>

[warm linden]

i coulda sworn it was working yesterday

[sage tendon]

unless someone came to your room and switched that, no, no it wasnt

[lofty parcel]

the order is self, button, interaction

[warm linden]

that

is the order its in

    @discord.ui.button(label="Contact Us!", row=0, style=discord.ButtonStyle.success, emoji="✉️") 
    async def button_callback(self, button, interaction):
            guild = interaction.guild

[sage tendon]

i do gotta say though, i dont really like how the self is an explicit argument in python
i just dont like that
i like the java way where you just use this

[lofty parcel]

do you realize you can name it the hell you want?

[sage tendon]

i mean that its an argument at all in the function header

[lofty parcel]

then you have a library conflict

[sage tendon]

in java its silently passed

[sage tendon]

Can you just print discord.__version__

[lofty parcel]

Because d,py uses it the other way around.

[lofty hedge]

    @discord.default_permissions(manage_messages=True)
``` can i not do this on a command group because it just doesnt work, it allows users to invoke who doesnt have that permission

[sage tendon]

show all the decorators, it needs to be in the right place

[warm linden]

2.3.2

[sage tendon]

yea, that's discord.py

[warm linden]

yep

[sage tendon]

yea so fix that lol

[warm linden]

OH

[lofty hedge]

    @tags.command()
    @discord.default_permissions(manage_messages=True)
    @commands.guild_only()
    @commands.cooldown(1, 2, commands.BucketType.user)```

[warm linden]

    bot = discord.Bot()
AttributeError: module 'discord' has no attribute 'Bot'

[sage tendon]

show your pip list

[sage tendon]

you need to define it in the slashcommandgroup itself i think

you cant further restrict commands in groups i think

[lofty hedge]

thats what im thinking but then i couldnt make it command specific

eh

cause its a group of 3 commands, only two needs manage messages

[sage tendon]

Well, not possible

[lofty hedge]

figured thanks for the help

[sage tendon]

because in discord's UI as well, you can only edit the permissions of the main group command

[forest tulip]

why if i doing view with 6 buttons in main bot file then everything work fine, but in paginator ValueError: item would not fit at row 2 (6 > 5 width)

[weary meteor]

for the Option type, how can i make the autocomplete grab all the roles in a discord server? like Option(discord.Guild.roles) or something like that

[heavy inlet]

sorry if im being dumb and stupid but im coding after a while
i tried installing py-cord using pip install py-cord as stated on the guide, it says it successfully installed but i cannot import it.
any solution?

[weary meteor]

check if you also have discord.py installed

[heavy inlet]

i don't

[weary meteor]

run pip freeze and send an ss

[little cobalt]

do you use a venv?

[weary meteor]

yeah chances are vscodes interpreter is using the wrong one?

[heavy inlet]

no

[little cobalt]

do you get an error at the Terminal if you run the file?

[heavy inlet]

ModuleNotFoundError: No module named 'discord'

[little cobalt]

did you already restart the IDE?

[heavy inlet]

yes

[warm linden]

im trying to use the slash commands in cogs by first starting on the example code: https://guide.pycord.dev/popular-topics/cogs but the slash commands aren't showing up - recieving no errors as well.

• My bot does have application cmds
• Cog has been loaded

whys this happening?

[warm linden]

slash commands are only working for me in main file

[sage tendon]

show your code

the entire cog

[warm linden]

its everything on the link but

breh doesnt let me send here

can i use pastebin

[sage tendon]

yes

[warm linden]

https://pastebin.com/yKdEgzLn

[rugged lodge]

https://pastebin.com/raw/yKdEgzLn

[sage tendon]

do you also load the cog in your main file

bot.load_extensions("cogs") if your cogs folder is called, well, cogs

[warm linden]

yes

[sage tendon]

did you restart discord after adding the commands?

[warm linden]

yes

i even make bot print the loaded cogs

nd greetings is being loaded

[sage tendon]

can you send your main bot file too?

also make sure to try /goodbye, the others might not show up depending on your bot definition, and greet is a user command for example, not a slash command

[warm linden]

hello works

only the slash cmds

[warm linden]

https://pastebin.com/qPysGWu0

[rugged lodge]

https://pastebin.com/raw/qPysGWu0

[sage tendon]

do you really need both slash and prefix commands?

[warm linden]

i mean theres jus some commands i want hidden

[sage tendon]

you can do that lol

with slash commands

[warm linden]

oh

yeahh

how

i dont need prefix then

[sage tendon]

then change to discord.Bot first of all

and you do that by using the @discord.default_permissions(manage=members=True) decorator under the slash command decorator

[warm linden]

ahh thanks man

[warm linden]

does this work? @commands.is_owner()

[sage tendon]

that wont hide the command

[warm linden]

ahh

arright

[sage tendon]

but you can add that to hide it + limit execution to yourself

[warm linden]

aright bet thanks

[little cobalt]

you load the cogs at the on_ready event

@sage tendon ^

that is why its not working

[sage tendon]

ahh

yea i was also confused about that but i thought that was just how it was in the guide

[little cobalt]

@warm linden why did you use while True at the events?

also why do you have discord webhooks installed?

that already comes with py-cord

[warm linden]

i cant?

[sage tendon]

no

[warm linden]

no

oh breh

[sage tendon]

just add bot.load_extensions('cogs') anywhere before bot.run

[warm linden]

yeah will do

thanks
