Basic Pycord Help

[silent shore]

discord.py is not longer working i forget that

[sage tendon]

of course its working

[silent shore]

rly?

[sage tendon]

yea

[silent shore]

i remember they stopped it

that's why there is py-cord "the new discord.py api"

[sage tendon]

yea the creator came back and went on to create the most batshit insane implementation of application commands possible

thats why i wouldnt recommend it for modern bots either way

[silent shore]

oh didn't know that nice

[silent shore]

ye pycord is better

[mild trout]

sorry for the stupid question again, but for things like my logger config should i also make a separete file and import it on each cog or how would you do it?

[sage tendon]

i will never touch loggers with a 10 foot pole

so cant help with that

[mild trout]

oh why is that

is it bad to use on a discord bot?

[sage tendon]

idk its confusing af to me

[mild trout]

oh

[lofty parcel]

You mean the logging module?

[mild trout]

yeah

[lofty parcel]

Wouldn't just placing it in the main file work for everything else?

[mild trout]

im not sure... i will try

[tidal vessel]

Creating application commands in discord.py is confusing to me

[mild trout]

for some reason python imports confuse me

[sage tendon]

thats exactly the reason why i said this #1132206148309749830 message
dude made it way too complicated

[silent shore]

ye true

slash command is not registering

[sage tendon]

do not use requests

[silent shore]

bruh why

[tidal vessel]

I was very surprised when I migrated to py-cord and how easy it was to create application commands lol

[sage tendon]

its not async, it blocks your entire bot

[silent shore]

im using a good api that's return infos about movie

[silent shore]

oh correct ye forget that there something called aiottp?

[sage tendon]

ctx.respond, not ctx.send_response

[silent shore]

something like this?

[sage tendon]

yea

[silent shore]

ye ik

[sage tendon]

aiohttp

[sage tendon]

did you restart discord after restarting the bot

[silent shore]

ye used it once

[silent shore]

nope just the bot since when i need to restart discord?

[sage tendon]

also, you dont have to write the full name all the time
almost everything you need has shortcuts
e.g. discord.SlashCommandGroup or discord.Option

[sage tendon]

since discord sucks, so, ~2015

[silent shore]

damn

kk

[sage tendon]

no its just caching so

[silent shore]

my vscode is giving me error

[sage tendon]

that is because vscode sucks

or rather pylance

[silent shore]

or not its working now

i think cuse the discord.py

was giving me the error

not pycord

[little cobalt]

discord.bot.Bot? Wtf

[silent shore]

ye its the full name of the module

[sage tendon]

yea i already said its unnecessary

[silent shore]

ik but discord.py was giving me the error i thought it was from py cord

anyways the slash command still not registering

[sage tendon]

are you loading the cog before on_ready now?

and remove the guild_ids thing if you want it available globally

dont even think that can work for subcommands

[silent shore]

sure

working now

thanks again

the last time i used pycord was like from 3 years

[sage tendon]

read the guide & docs

[mild trout]

no bc i have the logger object created on main

[silent shore]

ye ur right but its working now

[sage tendon]

yea but it still blocks your bot

[silent shore]

nope

used with aiohttp

[sage tendon]

ah

[silent shore]

here

[silent shore]

do you know by any chance a good way to make a embed?

[sage tendon]

discord.Embed

[silent shore]

no i meant a ui builder or smthg like that

to just preview the embed and the ill code it

[sage tendon]

its really not that hard
shouldnt take longer than 5m

just try it

[silent shore]

just like a prototyppe

[sage tendon]

but yea they do exist

[silent shore]

gimme

cuz im a person who must make everything perfect

[sage tendon]

google it yourself

[silent shore]

ah ye sure

[lapis dock]

https://message.style/app/editor seemed to be pretty good

[sly pebble]

im wacked rn whats going on

def string_check(message):
    print(type(message.channel))
    print(f"Is Another Author: {message.author.id != initiator}")
    print(f"Is discord.DMChannel: {message.channel == discord.DMChannel}")
    print(f"Is discord.channel.DMChannel: {message.channel == discord.channel.DMChannel}")
    if message.author.id != initiator or message.channel != discord.DMChannel:
        print("flagged")
        return False
    print("not flagged")
    return len(message.content) > 0

console output:

<class 'discord.channel.DMChannel'>
Is Another Author: False
Is discord.DMChannel: False
Is discord.channel.DMChannel: False
flagged

better formatting

and not a screenshot

i've tried the same thing with is and is not

same results

[sage tendon]

message.guild?

also lol

you need to use isinstance

not ==

[sly pebble]

yea the == was a last ditch

forgot about isinstance tho ty

[silent shore]

thank you

any suggestions or info to put it on the embed?

[sage tendon]

make the image the image and not the thumbnail

will make it slimmer too

[silent shore]

il will be big

[sage tendon]

yea that looks better imo

Now fix your emojis to be unicode and not discord style and you're set

also, Rating*

[silent shore]

its just for prototyping

dw

[sly pebble]

you're cooking with that embed

[silent shore]

its a bot so you search about any movie/series send its give you this embed with all info

[sly pebble]

i've got this block of code and i'd like to get the values from a select back from the view, but it doesn't have the values attribute yet

events_view = Events()
await ctx.author.send(embed=embed, view=events_view)
view_finished = await events_view.wait()
if not view_finished:
    event_select = events_view.get_item("yeag")

here's my callback

async def event_select_callback(self, select, interaction):
    self.disable_all_items()
    await interaction.response.edit_message(view=self)
    print(select.values)
    self.stop()

[silent shore]

i just worked with view only once, and forget everything about it

[sly pebble]

do i gotta permanently attach those values to the select or smth?

[lofty parcel]

Yes. You have to set them to some attribute

[stray pasture]

I am so confuse, Trying to debug why the guild.audit_logs is not working properly with the after param. (and do a PR to fix it)
As per discord doc If after is used, the list is reversed and appears in ascending order (older entries first)
But in my debugging, I have found that discord is returning the newest first ? Is discord doc wrong ?

[errant trout]

are you on 2.5?

[stray pasture]

the lastest form master

yes I have seen the lastest PR

that change the audit logs

That is why I was testing again

if they are returning the newest first (contrary to the doc), that is why that iterator is failing

[errant trout]

using an after value of 0 is ignored by discord

[stray pasture]

bruh whattt

is literally says in the doc to do that

[errant trout]

hm let's see

actually

fairly sure our logic is broken for Object(0)

everything else works as expected

[stray pasture]

you are right, if I put after=Object(id=1), it is working as expected

[stray pasture]

that value should be -1 not 0

to work as expected

[errant trout]

no, 0 is allowed

but our request ignores it

i.e. go to http.py -> get_audit_logs and change if after to if after is not None

[stray pasture]

If after is used, the list is reversed and appears in ascending order (older entries first) So if we want to continue the async iterator the after value need to be updated to the newest in the list (-1)

[stray pasture]

ooh I see

[errant trout]

you're probably also right on the index

i'll pr with both adjustments

huh, it's already 0 on master

[stray pasture]

that is the problem

it should be -1

with 0, it does infinte loop

[errant trout]

ah

[stray pasture]

with -1, stop at the end

[errant trout]

hm, is your limit working as expected?

[stray pasture]

I put limit as None

because I want to retrieve all entry after a specific one

[errant trout]

right, but can you test with limit anyway

[stray pasture]

this is why we need index -1 not 0

[stray pasture]

if I test with limit, it will not do batches, will stop after the limit I put

[errant trout]

yeah, but i'm asking because my limit just isn't working lol

[stray pasture]

oooh strange !

I can test it to

it is not respecting your limit ?

[stray pasture]

you are right, limit is broken to 😄

[errant trout]

this needs a lot more thought huh

[stray pasture]

the audit_logs have been broken for a while

more than 1 year 😄

there have been a few PR to try to fix it, but still broken

I can try to fix it as well, but the index change and the accepting of 0 is a great start

[errant trout]

i'll work on it some more

the raw request method is fine so it's just a matter off making sure the iterator works... all our other iterators are fine so this is rather odd

[stray pasture]

yeah, not sure why did one is like that. I have raise a few Issue on the GitHub mentioning the index need to change with the explication behind it. But could not find why the id=0 was not working 😄

so did not raise PR

[stray pasture]

can you tag me if you manage to fix it please ? Otherwise will look into it to

[errant trout]

sure

[stray pasture]

thank you !

[stray pasture]

I tested a bit the Pr you put, it seems to have fix the issue. I can do more testing later, need to go sleep

[stray pasture]

wrote here because dont have write access in discussion 😄

[mellow spire]

which feature is this like search option in select menu

[fresh sierra]

This is for channel_select

[mellow spire]

not for custom items?

[fresh sierra]

You can still use that kind of thing but for 25 things only and u can’t type to find it

If that’s what you want

[mellow spire]

yeah i thought theres a search feature for custom items too

[fresh sierra]

There is autocomplete but…

Discord could have done great things

[mellow spire]

we can't select more than 1 item in autocomplete

[fresh sierra]

But sélect menu don’t create menu

[mellow spire]

mah

whats this eror about

[fresh sierra]

def subcommand(group: str):
    def decorator(command: bridge.BridgeCommand):
        multicog_metadata[str(command.slash_variant.id)] = group
        multicog_metadata[str(command.ext_variant.)] = group
        return command

    return decorator

I need inside my cog to be able to get a command inside a dict, however if i use the name or ext_variant which is equal to the same in this case, it will get the wrong command. How can i get some get of id / unique thing for a command using the variant of a commands.command

[fresh sierra]

ig ur bot does not have the necessary scope

[oblique jasper]

got it thx

[fresh sierra]

got it fixusing callback as an id

[echo wraith]

I believe it isn't possible, but asking to be sure. Is it possible to change the selected option in a dropdown after an interaction? Like "resetting" the component?

[fresh sierra]

edit the message and replace the view by the same one

[echo wraith]

Yeah that's what I was about to do

[fresh sierra]

i was doing like so in my memory

or remove view and add it again if that doesnt work

not the best but

[river oriole]

How does BridgeCommand work with Options?

I have my code like this:

@bridge.bridge_command(
    name="whois",
    description="Gives you information about a user",
)
@bridge.guild_only()
async def _whois(
    self,
    ctx: bridge.BridgeContext,
    member: Option(
        discord.Member, "The user you want to know more about", required=False
    ) = None,  # type: ignore
):
    member = member or ctx.author
    await ctx.respond(embed=self.whois(member))

Which works fine for Slashcommands and when I use the Text Command without Args/Options. But when I add an arg in the Textcommand then I get following error:

[2024-07-07 15:49:08] [ERROR ] cogs.ErrorHandler: Converting to "Option" failed for parameter "member".

[sage tendon]

you need BridgeOption i think

since 2.5

[river oriole]

I see. Thank you

[deft kestrel]

its possible to send mumlti embeds in one message?

[little cobalt]

embeds=[]

;3

[deft kestrel]

My bot isnt receiving on_ban and on_invite_creation events even though i have all intends enabled

[sage tendon]

on_ban isn't a thing

and it's on_invite_create

https://docs.pycord.dev/en/stable/index.html use them

and it's on_member_ban

[deft kestrel]

on_member_ban

yeah

i dont receive events on both of them

[sage tendon]

show your code

[sage tendon]

show how you load the cog

and also your bot definition

[sage tendon]

yea.. i meant more lol
where do you load your cogs

in on_ready by any chance?

[deft kestrel]

wait

i wrote something weird

should i be on ready?

[sage tendon]

btw, bot.load_extensions("cogs") loads everything

[sage tendon]

no, it should not be there

[deft kestrel]

ah okay

well i do

that what i had

[sage tendon]

yea, lol

load it before

the cogs

[deft kestrel]

ah

[sage tendon]

also, your cogs won't load at all that way unless i'm wrong lol

because i dont think your code ever leaves bot.run

[deft kestrel]

it loads

[sage tendon]

ah

[sage tendon]

also, why so complicated lol
its not like you ever import your main bot file, so thats just unecessary

[deft kestrel]

wdym

[sage tendon]

do you even know why that if __name__ is there?

[fresh sierra]

.rtfm on_member_ban

[sly karma]

1 results

discord.on_member_ban

[fresh sierra]

name is a good things to do

[sage tendon]

it's unnecessary

[fresh sierra]

I will not debate about that

[sage tendon]

do you ever import your main bot file?
No.
Ergo: Unnecessary

[fresh sierra]

I do

Ergo: what you think/do is not valid for everyone

[sage tendon]

lmao

[fresh sierra]

Reload will be more appropriate in my case

[echo wraith]

Is there a way with discord.Forbidden to have more context on for ex. what permission the bot was lacking if it tried to do something in a server, etc...?

[sage tendon]

isn't it in the message?

[echo wraith]

Application Command raised an exception: Forbidden: 403 Forbidden (error code: 50013): Missing Permissions

Don't think so

[sage tendon]

ah

well, typically, the action you're trying to do leaves only one possible permission

[echo wraith]

Yeah I get that, but what I mean is if i catch that in for ex. in on_application_command_error i wouldn't know that unless parsing the traceback which is not efficient at all and can be unreliable

[lofty parcel]

Missing Permissions is usually role or channel permissions.

[echo wraith]

Yeah but again I don't know which permission

Ok by plaing a bit in the debugger I found a hacky way

yeah no noway I do that

It's because you get error.response

[sage tendon]

ngl i just handle it in the command

if i know that can happen

[tranquil jolt]

Presumably silly question(s):

most of my bot framework is from discord.py, so it has discord.intents and specific debug_guild target information. I've removed them as per the pycord "my first bot" tutorial, and it seems they're unneeded. So... I presume, pycord automatically sets the intents, and sets the target guild to be any server the bot is currently within, am i right with that presumption?

[sage tendon]

intents are a kwarg in your bot definition

and the guilds, yea, of course lol

do you have to manually set that in discord.py?

[tranquil jolt]

i had a debug_guilds value, i think

so that must've restricted which guilds were being targetted

[echo wraith]

yeah probably

[sage tendon]

yea, well, thats also possible with pycord, but the default is all guilds

[tranquil jolt]

fairs fair 🫡 was just curious when transitioning from the discord.py style to the pycord style :3

[tidal vessel]

Guys, one question, can a user command also be a normal application command at the same time?
Or do I have to make a separate command?

class UsersCommands(commands.Cog):
    def __init__(self, bot):
        super().__init__()
        self.bot = bot
    
    @commands.user_command(name="Profile")
    async def profile_user(self, ctx, user):
          # ...

[shell radish]

yes

[tidal vessel]

ok, ty!

[wise dust]

This is probably a very silly question, but do commands in slash command groups register as individual commands?

In relation to Discord's application command limit

[shell radish]

no

[wise dust]

Awesome, thank you!

[sage tendon]

how?

[errant trout]

if they meant the new user apps, you can pass multiple contexts

[sage tendon]

judging from their code the mean context menu commands & slash commands

which i wouldnt know how that'd work without duplicating it

[errant trout]

yeah that isn't a thing

[wild prairie]

How can I have members submit an image through a slash command and keep that image forever (besides downloading it)? The discord image URL eventually times out. Is there a way I can get a permanent link?

[sage tendon]

I mean, you'll have to download it lol

that's the only reliable way

one dumb hacky idea I just had is uploading it to Imgur and saving the reference in a db

[errant trout]

do you need to use this image outside of discord?

[wild prairie]

No, but I need to send it as an embed more than only a few days later

[errant trout]

is this through an ephemeral command

since that's a different matter

[wild prairie]

It replies with an ephemeral reply, yeah. But it doesn't have to

[fresh sierra]

What does it change ?

[errant trout]

then yeah, you have to reupload it or save it

[fresh sierra]

Ephemeral are not saved and not ephemeral are saved ?

[errant trout]

ephemeral images are deleted quickly yes

i'd say, on submit just reupload the image to wherever the response is recieved

[sage tendon]

wait actually

[wild prairie]

Wdym

[errant trout]

i.e., instead of sending attachment.url, convert it with await attachment.to_file() and send it in a new message

[fresh sierra]

Wait I’m a little bit confused

[errant trout]

then you can always use the discord link within discord

[sage tendon]

cant you have an image storage server with only the bot in it, upload it there for storage, and then later access it again

[fresh sierra]

When you send a image to discord with an url send and get with message (discord message€

[wild prairie]

I save attachment.url in my data file, and then reference it later. You're saying I should send the image back to discord and save that link?

[fresh sierra]

You can use the link and send it few days later ?

[errant trout]

yes

[wild prairie]

Yes, but I don't want to unless I have to lol

[errant trout]

if it's an ephemeral command, the image will be gone within the hour

[fresh sierra]

If the link of the discord attachement has been deleted

[wild prairie]

It wasn't only an hour. It was a few days

[fresh sierra]

Can be because of ur discord

That cached the image

[errant trout]

cache is weird, but it's meant to delete as soon as the message is gone

[fresh sierra]

Maybe other will not be able to see it

You have some free thing online

To upload image and get a permanent link

[errant trout]

even if it's not an ephemeral command, if the message is deleted by anyone else then the attachment is gone. The safest way to retain it is for you to either save it or reupload it immediately to discord.

[wild prairie]

And how long does that last? Image links only last a few days anyway.

[errant trout]

infinitely

within discord

the expiry does not apply to image urls if you send it in a message or embed

it's only to gate other websites from using it

[sage tendon]

attachment urls last 24h exactly though, just to bring that number up too

[errant trout]

right, but for their purpose it's irrelevant

[wild prairie]

That doesn't make sense, because (unrelated to this) I sent an image, copied it's discord URL and linked to it in a message, and after a few days, the image was no longer accessible. Or is it different because it was opening in browser?

[errant trout]

yes, opening it in your browser is different

[wild prairie]

Gotcha.

Do I need to send the image back, or if I reply with a public response, the URL will last forever too?

[sage tendon]

.

its not assured itll stay

[errant trout]

you could respond with it publicly, but i'd personally just reupload it elsewhere to be safe (maybe log all command usages in a channel?)

(and reminder that you can put uploaded images inside rich embeds #app-commands message)

[wild prairie]

Yup, I actually helped fix a bug related to this and pagination haha

[shell radish]

just double decorate it

[sage tendon]

...no way

which on top?

[shell radish]

shouldn’t matter

[hexed herald]

hey, am I somehow able to get on_error piped to a cog listener?

I don't want to overwrite the normal action (for now) but want to assign a listener

[sage tendon]

then do that

like any other listener

[hexed herald]

but according to the docs https://docs.pycord.dev/en/stable/api/events.html#discord.on_error it's not possible

and in my test it's also not working

[sage tendon]

oh, i was thinking about on_command_error

[hexed herald]

ohh, yeah that's easy with just @...listen but I want the "normal" error

[sage tendon]

then youll have to overwrite the event

[hexed herald]

and what do I have to put into bot.dispatch() ?
first would be smth like on_event_error
but how do I pass event, *args, **kwargs?

[sage tendon]

why do you need that top-level event though?

[hexed herald]

what do you mean with top-level event?

[sage tendon]

like why do you need on_error
what are you trying to do

[hexed herald]

I just want to log every error happening in the bot and be able to access it later using a command

but still have it raised in the console/log

[deft kestrel]

@discord.slash_command(name='purge', description='Purge messages from a channel')

        await ctx.defer()
        if amount > int(get_key("Moderation_MaxPurge", "1000")):
            await ctx.respond('The maximum amount of messages to purge is {amount}.'.format(amount), ephemeral=True)
            return
        
        messages = []
        async for message in ctx.channel.history(limit=amount):
            if include_user and message.author != include_user:
                continue
            if exclude_user and message.author == exclude_user:
                continue
            if (datetime.datetime.now(datetime.UTC) - message.created_at).total_seconds() >= 1209600:
                continue
            messages.append(message)

        chunks = [messages[i:i+100] for i in range(0, len(messages), 100)]
        for chunk in chunks:
            await ctx.channel.delete_messages(chunk)

        await ctx.respond('Successfully purged {messages} messages.'.format(messages=str(len(messages))), ephemeral=True)

This throws an error about an unknown message and deletes the deferred (bot thinking) message

[sage tendon]

well, exclude that message

[deft kestrel]

log

[sage tendon]

yea, again, either dont defer (should still be within the time limit if you're lucky?) or make sure you dont delete the defer message itself

[deft kestrel]

Fixed it by adding invisible=True, ephemeral=True into defer parameters

I want the purge method be able to delete beyond 100 messages which can't be in time limit when the user chooses to delete for example 500 msgs

[sage tendon]

oh yea, i missed that

you cant respond to non-ephemeral defers with an ephemeral response, or vice versa

[deft kestrel]

oh

well I figured it out

[little cobalt]

what is get_key?

[deft kestrel]

get_key gets an entry from configuration file, or adds it with the second parameter if it isn't there

that's just a check to prevent people from purging 100000 messages

[young skiff]

discord.errors.ValidationError: Command names and options must be lowercase. Received "Katze" in locale de

Why doesn't py-cord just do a .lower()?

[sage tendon]

why don't you just make the string lowercase

[young skiff]

It was an accident, anyway it seems to me that it would be simpler for the library to do a .lower() instead of throwing an error

[lapis dock]

The reasoning is that we dont want to do anything that the dev does not expect so we are telling the dev that something needs to be changed instead of doing it ourselfs. Also it prevents people from wondering why capitol letters are not working when in reality we are changing the input in the background.

[young skiff]

Okay, that makes sense

[slate idol]

Is it possible to use the selection of the first Option in a command to determine which Autocomplete is returned in the second Option of a command?

The beginning of the Command code, with where I want the autocomplete to trigger:

async def gift(
    ctx,
    what: Option(str, "...", choice=["Activate", "Learn"]),
    which: Option(str,autocomplete=discord.utils.basic_autocomplete(giftlist_autocomplete)
)
    # [slash command code goes here]```

The autocomplete code I'm wanting to fill out, but don't know if it's feasible:
```py
async def giftlist_autocomplete(ctx: discord.AutocompleteContext):
  if ctx.??????? == "Activate":
    # do X
  elif ctx.??????? == "Learn": 
    # do Y```
is there something I can pass where I have `ctx.???????` ?

[sage tendon]

https://docs.pycord.dev/en/stable/api/application_commands.html#discord.AutocompleteContext

[slate idol]

So would if ctx.options == "Activate" work in the above? I'm terrible at parsing APIs 😭 my brain just refuses to make the connection between the list of things and how to implement them.

[sage tendon]

no, it's a dict

https://docs.pycord.dev/en/stable/api/application_commands.html#discord.AutocompleteContext.options

[slate idol]

if "Activate" in ctx.options.values(): ?

[sage tendon]

no

wait, yea

[slate idol]

Thank you!

[sage tendon]

also, the kwarg is choices=, not choice=

in the option

[slate idol]

thank you!

[sage tendon]

you could also do if ctx.options["what"] == "Activate"

[young skiff]

Is there something like on_interaction_error? for views

[sage tendon]

doesn't that also count as application command

[young skiff]

I mean catching errors that are executed when clicking buttons

[sage tendon]

I am aware

and I'm saying that I think that'd also count as application command error

[young skiff]

Ah, you're right, I thought it worked another way, thanks

[young skiff]

I am trying to respond with an error message when an unexpected error is obtained when clicking any button. I am already using on_application_command_error, but when the error comes from a component it is not executed only if it comes from a command, I still do not understand how I can do it

[errant trout]

Views have an on_error function that you can override

[young skiff]

Yes, but I would have to write the piece of code that responds with an embed to the error in each of the views, I suppose that on_application_command_error avoids having to write error handling in each of the commands and having only one function, I wanted to know if that It is possible but with the views

[errant trout]

the library doesn't have a general view error handler, no

[edgy nest]

You could create a master view subclass that all your views use

[errant trout]

you could perhaps subclass a view and assign it a single on_error

yeah

[young skiff]

okay thanks

[deft kestrel]

somebody can help me?
i am trying to delete channels that dont have categories but the code include categories
and when i am trying to check the channel type its doesnt saying true:

    @subcommand("staff")
    @commands.slash_command(name = "channel-delete", description = "Delete the currnt channel")
    async def channel_delete(self, ctx):
        guild = ctx.guild

        for channel in channels:
            if channel.category is None:
                print(channel.type)
                if channel.type == "text":
                    print(channel, channel.type)

is the File in your error a discord.File? or is it from some other library

if it's discord.File, then pass file=file and attachments=[] instead

thx

[quartz umbra]

so when using add_reaction, how do I use discord emojis (built-in) that don't have a unicode version

[sage tendon]

\🇸

[tepid coyote]

Would there be a reason why when I disable the presence intent my bot throws an error even though I don’t use it

[sage tendon]

hm, weird

[sage tendon]

there is zero reason to disable it

and as you can see, it can cause issues

[quartz umbra]

oh thanks

[sage tendon]

no that wasnt actually the fix, i was just trying out what backslashing the S emoji would do

(or maybe that works??)

because its not a normal s

[sage tendon]

wait i was thinking of another intent, my bad

can you show the error you get

[tepid coyote]

raise PrivilegedIntentsRequired(exc.shard_id) from None
discord.errors.PrivilegedIntentsRequired: Shard ID None is requesting privileged intents that have not been explicitly enabled in the developer portal. It is recommended to go to https://discord.com/developers/applications/ and explicitly enable the privileged intents within your application's page. If this is not possible, then consider disabling the privileged intents instead.

[sage tendon]

well, dont pass it in the intents= kwarg

[tepid coyote]

actually i think i know why

[quartz umbra]

it does work though

fo my case

[lapis dock]

all discord emojis have a unicode version or are at least made up of unicode charecters

[quartz umbra]

yeah

[lapis dock]

Just need to backslash and than copy/paste. 😉

[quartz umbra]

wait so

\🇸

Ohhhhhhh

wait that is so smart

\💀

yoooo

[lapis dock]

Just a fyi you have to use copy message

[quartz umbra]

im flabbergasted

[quartz umbra]

ik

but

that is crazy

[lapis dock]

for some reason highlight does not always work

[quartz umbra]

kk

[lapis dock]

and than that will copy the backslash as well so you need to remove that after pasting

[sage tendon]

a unicode finder website just says "replacement character" for the escaped letter emojis tho

[lapis dock]

Because the letter emojis are a combination character and an actual letter.

[sage tendon]

ah

[river oriole]

Did the Bridge Prefix for the Bot change in 2.5? I cant use the prefix anymore for my Bot, which worked in 2.4:

from discord.ext.bridge import Bot

bot = Bot(command_prefix=commands.when_mentioned_or("!"), intents=intents)

[lapis dock]

do you have the message content intent enabled on both the bot and the discord developer portal?

[river oriole]

Oh i forgot about that. I removed that. My bad. Thank you

[grim estuary]

discord.Member.can_send() means whether I can send DMs or not?

[lapis dock]

No

[grim estuary]

Should I create a DM and use can_send() from it?

[lapis dock]

That tells you if you are allowed to send x content to a DM assuming you can send a message in the first place. It is used for checking if for example you have permissions to send an image.

You should try to send the message to the user and catch the exception to determine if you can send DMs or not

[grim estuary]

Are there no other ways?

[lapis dock]

No

[grim estuary]

Thank you

[little cobalt]

It had some breaking changes

[echo wraith]

Man I would just have uploaded the image to s3 or smth

[lean garnet]

Hi, I don't see anything about user apps in the documentation, it hasn't been updated yet?

[sage tendon]

documentation is updated

[sage tendon]

thats not how it works

[lean garnet]

ho

[tidal vessel]

Do user apps need additional permissions or settings in the discord portal?

[sage tendon]

check default_command_integration_types in discord.Bot

[sage tendon]

you need to check the user install switch if you made the app longer ago i think

on new apps it seems pre-checked

[tidal vessel]

ok, ty

[lean garnet]

all already existing commands will work in user app if enabled ?

[sage tendon]

They will show up if you install it as user app

if they work is another question

[lofty parcel]

You're supposed to structure your commands to support them

It doesn't magically make all your commands as user app commands too.

[lean garnet]

ok thanks

[sage tendon]

e.g. any commands that do stuff like create channels or roles won't work

[lofty parcel]

The repo has examples.

[sage tendon]

this is a really unfortunate limitation tho

[errant trout]

well, it will work if the bot is in the guild

[sage tendon]

yea

thats expected

but i really hoped it'd take on the user's permission in the guild to do such actions

[errant trout]

that's more of an oauth thing

which i guess you could pull off but the lib isn't made for it

[sage tendon]

user apps would've been even more great if they added that

i had a huge amount of ideas

Is there a way to differentiate commands that originate from a user install vs guild install?

Like from ctx or smth?

i don't want to have to duplicate commands just to know 100% where a command came from, and i doubt that's the intention

[lapis dock]

Interaction.context

[sage tendon]

wait no

that just tells me where a command was executed

but if a command is run on a server with a user-installed app, the context will still be guild

[errant trout]

see Interaction.authorizing_integration_owners

it's not the most clear but ultimately it's implemented to discord's spec

[sage tendon]

bless you

that is one mouthful, if not two

so.. what happens if a user is installed on a guild and the user calling the command? will both be supplied?

[errant trout]

docs aren't very clear on this https://discord.com/developers/docs/interactions/receiving-and-responding#interaction-object-authorizing-integration-owners-object, i'd say just debug it yourself

[sage tendon]

according to the docs it can only be one

so i'd assume guild is preferred

[errant trout]

probably

[short osprey]

can someone give me a example code for the new polls feature?

[lapis dock]

It similar to an embed in how you make it. Just look over discord.Poll and than you can pass poll=my_poll into send/respond/etc

[lucid crest]

I used this in 2.5.0

SlashCommandGroup(name="example", description="example command", guild_only=True, xxx)

Now its changed to contexts (discord.InteractionContextType)
But in the Docs it says
The location where this command can be used. Cannot be set if this is a guild command.

Can someone give me a quick code example how to used it with 2.6.0 - or do I even have to set it?

[short osprey]

you but i only get errors with is not defined

[sage tendon]

screenshot

[short osprey]

yea

just have this now

i know its not correct yet

but the class doesnt work

[sage tendon]

did you actually install 2.6

also you defined that outside of the command lol

[short osprey]

yea i know xD

[sage tendon]

and.. what

[short osprey]

copied out of the docs

[shell radish]

@bot.slash_command(
    contexts={discord.InteractionContextType.guild}
)

guild command refers to commands that are local to a specific guild

[lapis dock]

replace guild_only=True with contexts={discord.InterationContextType.guild}

[sage tendon]

yea, thats the problem

also.. does this actually work?

[short osprey]

rlly

i dunno

but deleted that part

@discord.slash_command(name='poll')
    async def poll(ctx, question: str, duration: int, *options: str):
        if len(options) < 2:
            await ctx.send("Je moet ten minste twee opties geven!")
            return
        
        if len(options) > 10:
            await ctx.send("Je kunt maximaal tien opties geven!")
            return

        poll = discord.Poll(
            question=question,
            duration=duration,
            allow_multiselect=False
        )
        
        for option in options[1:]:
            poll.add_answer(text=option)
        
        message = await ctx.send(embed=poll)
        poll_message = await message.create_poll(poll)
        
        await ctx.send(f"Poll gecreëerd: {poll_message.jump_url}")
        
        class discord.Poll():```

what need to be in the class

i mean

[sage tendon]

...my guy

[short osprey]

xD

[sage tendon]

poll = discord.Poll()

[short osprey]

srry

[lapis dock]

you sohuld not need to do class poll anywhere

[sage tendon]

and you do not use ctx.send in slash commands

[shell radish]

it depends on the context

[sage tendon]

usually you dont, and i know they wanna respond

[lucid crest]

Working, thanks a lot

[lucid crest]

thank you too! :)

[short osprey]

alr

@discord.slash_command(name='poll2', description='Poll Commando')
    async def poll2(self, ctx, question):

        poll = discord.Poll(
            question=question,
            duration=6,
            allow_multiselect=False
        )
        
        poll.add_answer(text='hoi')
        poll.add_answer(text='hai')
        
        message = await ctx.send(embed=poll)
        poll_message = await message.create_poll(poll)
        
        await ctx.repsond(f"Poll gecreëerd: {poll_message.jump_url}")```

got this now

discord.errors.ApplicationCommandInvokeError: Application Command raised an exception: HTTPException: 400 Bad Request (error code: 50035): Invalid Form Body
In embeds.0.description: This field is required

get this error

[lapis dock]

poll= not embed=

sorry if I confused you earlier

[short osprey]

oh

np

ofc

[sage tendon]

and type respond correctly

[short osprey]

xD

but its working thx

[lapis dock]

poll_message = await message.create_poll(poll) also not sure what this does. But you dont need it

[short osprey]

does somebody know why i get this error and how to fix it?

[sage tendon]

use @discord.option instead of the discord.Option typehint

in short, pylance sucks

why not attach the poll to the message?

[shell radish]

honestly discord.Option typehint sucks

[sage tendon]

^^^^

[short osprey]

oh yea in first place it was a embed with reaction emotes and in embeds the role ping doesn't work

yk

[lapis dock]

I have never had an issue with it

[shell radish]

i'd like my typehints with my AquaticCreature objects thank you

[short osprey]

can you tell me why it isnt working xD

[sage tendon]

pylance sucks, as i already said

[lapis dock]

Thats a warning not a error. The code will still run

[sage tendon]

and using the decorator is still recommended by me

[shell radish]

usually, the thing after : is used as typehinting, however, we thought it was a good idea to put that as a way to get the Option passed there instead

[short osprey]

oh you right

[errant trout]

nahh Option >>> decorator

[sage tendon]

its objectively worse

[errant trout]

i've been using it since 2.0 with literally 0 issues, while i've spent countless hours in this channel giving help to people using the decorator

if it ain't broke don't fix it

[lofty parcel]

Typehinting on top

[edgy nest]

Inside of a command: 

await msg.edit(embed=embed, view=FairnessView(random_id, fairness_results=result))
self.bot.add_view(FairnessView(random_id, result))```
why exactly does the view not get edited into the msg

[little cobalt]

What is msg?

[weary meteor]

msg = await ctx.respond(embed=e)

simply a msg i send and then edit later

[little cobalt]

use ctx.edit pls

[weary meteor]

oh i can just do that?

well even with that change, the button does not show up

[little cobalt]

Is the view outside of the command?

[weary meteor]

its inside of the command as a class

@commands.slash_command(name='coinflip')

[little cobalt]

And the button is inside of the view class?

[weary meteor]

yep

oml

the callback is indented into the init

[lethal loom]

Hi, why the default_command_entext and the other default one are not working? i can use the command in dms

    def __init__(self):
        intents = discord.Intents.all()
        command_prefix = commands.when_mentioned_or("-")
        default_command_contect={IntegrationType.guild_install}
        default_command_integration_types={InteractionContextType.guild}
        super().__init__(command_prefix=command_prefix, intents=intents, default_command_contect=default_command_contect, default_command_integration_types=default_command_integration_types)
    ```

[sage tendon]

you mixed them up

and you typed it wrong

you typed contect
and just switch around the {}, they're just in the wrong positions

        default_command_context={InteractionContextType.guild}
        default_command_integration_types={IntegrationType.guild_install}

should've been clear from the name
integration type goes into the integration type field, not command context

and im p sure guild_install is the default anyway

and.. i'm not sure if its smart making your bot subclass the exact same name as the default class, might cause issues

[haughty grove]

my app gets a permision error when i require move_members permission but works fine when i require administrator permission

im server owner so permissions shouldnt be a problem

any ideas why this happens?

[sage tendon]

dont use has_permissions for slash commands

use @discord.default_permissions

also, it's because you dont have that exact permission
you still need it even with admin, which is one of the reason has_permissions should be avoided

[haughty grove]

i do have the move_members permission tho..

[haughty grove]

using @discord.default_permissions works, thank you!

[lethal loom]

[slate idol]

I'm struggling with adding options to a Dropdown. I can write permanent ones in just fine, but in order to add_option() nothing seems to actually add itself to the list? Unfortunately the official example includes magical list population due to using roles.

I'm unlcear about where to position it (inside the class for the specific Dropdown? as a function inside that class? async? ) and what the exact code would read.

I've tried:
DropdownView.add_option(discord.SelectOption(label="RESULT"))
But it doesn't do anything. My Dropdown's Class is called DropdownView

[edgy nest]

Can we see some more code?

[slate idol]

class DropdownView(discord.ui.View):
    @discord.ui.string_select(
        #select_type=discord.ComponentType.string_select,
        placeholder="Select up to 3 dice...", 
        min_values=1, 
        max_values=3,
        options=[discord.SelectOption(label=str(f"TEST")),discord.SelectOption(label=str(f"TEST2")),discord.SelectOption(label=str(f"TEST3"))]
    )
    
    async def die_lister(self, interaction: discord.Interaction):
        # code that doesn't matter until I can add things to Options
        DropdownView.add_option(discord.SelectOption(label="RESULT"))
    
    async def dice_select_dropdown(
        self, select: discord.ui.Select, interaction: discord.Interaction
    ) -> None:
        
        pool=[]
        rpool=[]
        # more code that doesn't matter right now
        view = discord.ui.View(timeout=None)
        view.add_item(GoButton(rpool, pool)) 
        
        response = (
            f"**You selected the following dice**: "
            + f", ".join(die for die in select.values)
        )
        
        await interaction.response.send_message(response, view=view)```

I just don't know where to stick add_option() or what the preface should be.

[little cobalt]

At the select or where?

[slate idol]

Current code: Rolls some dice from a /command and includes this dropdown at the end of the response.
Desired code: Include the die results as selectable to re-roll.
Challenge: How to add options to a dropdown list that aren't hard-coded (see: "TEST"s vs. "RESULT").

So.. yes, at the Select?

[little cobalt]

Subclass the select

first, the decorator function usage here is wrong - when using a @select decorator, the function args should be self, select, interaction. self, interaction is used when you DON'T use the decorator.

To follow from that, you can either:

• As mentioned above, subclass the select to fit to your needs (https://github.com/Pycord-Development/pycord/blob/master/examples/views/dropdown.py)
• Alternatively, there are methods when overriding the view's __init__ - you can either create the dropdown in there, or use the decorator without passing options and then later assign options inside the __init__

(the latter is somewhat more tedious)

I had missed that example in the list somehow, thank you!

[tidal vessel]

Guys, a question, I previously used the guild_only parameter so that the command group only works on servers but I get a message that this parameter is already obsolete. Is this the correct way to do it now?

[sage tendon]

contexts

but yes

[tidal vessel]

ah, lol

[tidal vessel]

ty

[sage tendon]

ngl im not sure why they require a set instead of a list

but yea its correct

[tidal vessel]

okay, thanks

[errant trout]

maybe we should have a contexts decorator similar to has_permissions

[lofty parcel]

That'd be cool

[sage tendon]

dont think that needs its own decorator tbfh

too little functionality for it to be one imo

and it really is just a direct property of the slash command, so having it there feels more natural

[errant trout]

i mean

[sage tendon]

i jsut still wonder why its a set when most everything in the lib is a list

[deft kestrel]

Fixed cog reloading and synchronising (2+ years old issue)
what's that issue?

[errant trout]

same for guild_only, having something like @commands.contexts(guild_only=True) seems fairly in line with the library

[errant trout]

was some duplicate name bug because the way we store commands is weird

you could unload but it fucked up with syncing

[sage tendon]

maybe
at least it wouldn't be as long as
discord.IntegrationContextType.guild etc

[errant trout]

indeed, ultimately decorators are usually shortcuts

like how we have @default_permissions, you can actually set default_member_permissions in the command decorator instead because that's what it's called on the API

[echo wraith]

Has contexts= been implemented for SlashCommandGroup yet or not?

[sage tendon]

yes

could have just looked at the docs

[echo wraith]

true

I was lazy this time...

InteractionType looks soo much like IntegrationType

[sage tendon]

good thing that it's InteractionContextType :)

[echo wraith]

No the other one

[sage tendon]

ah

but interactiontype is very old

[echo wraith]

for integration_types

[haughty grove]

how would i get the possible args of a command to display them in the help menu?

embed = discord.Embed(
            title=f"{cog_name} Commands",
            description="\n".join(
                f"`/{command.qualified_name} (args)` {command.description}" 
                for command in cog.walk_commands()
            )
        )

[sage tendon]

https://docs.pycord.dev/en/stable/api/application_commands.html#discord.SlashCommand

[haughty grove]

cog.walk_commands returns an ApplicationCommand not a SlashCommand

[sage tendon]

hm

[shell radish]

check if it's an instance of SlashCommand first

[fast grotto]

do you guys know any complete currency symbol api? because when i search on google, the apis i found are either incomplete or even if they are compete they are pricy

[sage tendon]

wdym currency symbol API

[fast grotto]

an api that would give the symbol for the currency that was requested, for example $ for USD and etc

[sage tendon]

just make that yourself, it's not like there's thousands of currencies

just do like the 50 most common ones

[fast grotto]

if i had the time for it sure, but i'm mostly looking for an api

because someone has already done what i will be doing on the internet

[sage tendon]

I doubt it take you even an hour at most

using an API for such a simple thing is overkill imo

there's probably even just a list of all currency symbols you can download

[fast grotto]

i'm mostly want to use an api becasue i'm handling js code - i asked here because i thought some people might have that implemented in their own bot

[sage tendon]

I just made chatgpt generate a js dict of all currencies in like 10 seconds
i trust you can do the same

[fast grotto]

ok ty

[lean garnet]

Hi, you can use this json : https://gist.github.com/ksafranski/2973986

[lean garnet]

Hi,
I saw that Pycord now supports Premium Apps, but I don't see how to limit an order to a premium user?
On the documentation I only see servers boosters or nitro subscriber for premium or premium_subscribers

and there is no exemples on the github repo

I find this : https://docs.pycord.dev/en/stable/api/clients.html#discord.Bot.store_url for the store URL, but not how to limit a command for premium users only

[lapis dock]

I have not used it before but I think this is what you need to do:
User.entitlements

[lean garnet]

Yes maybe, to find this ? https://discord.com/developers/docs/monetization/entitlements#entitlement-object

I see

thanks

[lapis dock]

here is a more detailed explanation. Note Client.entitlements is very similar to what I linked

#1260606876547289100 message

[lean garnet]

thanks

[tranquil thicket]

HI, I basically have a url that would usually open a website, but is there a way for it to redirect directly to open a mobile application on mobile, and then use the website only on desktop?

[lean garnet]

From Discord no, I don't think it's possible. But from your website you can detect the device with which the page is viewed and redirect to another link (for example the Google Play Store or the App Store).

you will have to use javascript tho

[tranquil thicket]

Okay mabye will have to try that

[charred zodiac]

how would one go about handling the discord.ext.commands.errors.CommandNotFound exception and making the bot respond to the user informing them that the command is not valid?

[lofty parcel]

Error handlers. on_command_error

[ivory beacon]

@sage tendon
how to do that now ?🙂
interaction_metadata doesn't have any data 🙂💔

[broken pivot]

how close thread in forum?

[lofty parcel]

Read the docs

[slate idol]

Is there a way to display content in columns / tables?
Neither keyword appears in the pycord documentation so I'm hoping there's another workaround?

[lofty parcel]

Column / tables as in?

[slate idol]

antelopes: 5```
trying to make the numbers all line up.

[lofty parcel]

You have to work with formatting yourself.

[broken pivot]

in methods only delete

a

I understood

[lofty parcel]

Forum posts are threads.

[slate idol]

So put in my own whitespace or use a python module for table-generation?
Dang.. hopefully Discord adds tables someday.

Thanks!

[lapis dock]

Just note you will have to use codeblocks so that the charecters are all equal width

[slate idol]

Thanks.

[slate idol]

The sleekest solution I've found, for others looking to use columns and tables:

aDictionary = {'antelopes':1, 'bears':5, 'cats':12, 'dogs':4, 'elephants': 99999}
print(f"`{'Animal ':<10}` {'Quantity':>10}`")
for first,second in aDictionary.items():
    print(f"`{first :<10}` {second:>10}`")```
replacing `print` with using the content however is needed. 
results:
`Animal       Quantity`
`antelopes           1`
`bears               5`
`cats               12`
`dogs                4`
`elephants       99999`

[sage tendon]

i havent read up but why not make an embed with 2 fields, one "Animal" and one "Quantity"

that way its lined up vertically and leftbound

[slate idol]

My initial digging into fields didn't give me any sense that they'd be stacked horizontally.

[sage tendon]

Fields are side by side up to 3 in a row

also, idk this syntax, what does it do?

[slate idol]

adds spaces in an f-string up to that number of characters: <10 is left-aligned, >10 is right-aligned.

[sage tendon]

you can override this with inline=True though, but not entirely sure what that changes, i think a field that has that will be alone in a row

ohh, thats cool

[slate idol]

Way sleeker than adding libraries and all their requisite funky syntax.

New question: how to fields?
I've got lots of embeds, in my efforts I kept get complaints about either not having a description= but then I'd add it and it would complain that fields shouldn't have a description=.

[sage tendon]

it's value=

and yea i think a description is mandatory for the embed itself

title isn't tho

[slate idol]

Right, so I think I was sticking it in the wrong place... I deleted that code like two hours ago, let's see if I can throw something together...

[sage tendon]

oh yea i forgor i can show you, 1s

[slate idol]

testfield = discord.EmbedField(name="Testfield", value="Testvalue")
discord.Embed(title=str(f"{Person}'s Skills"), description=SkillPage, fields=testfield)```
that ain't it 😦 
`TypeError: 'EmbedField' object is not iterable`

[sage tendon]

my code isnt really flexible enough to show you properly lmfao but yea i meant kinda like this

[sage tendon]

embed.add_field()

way easier imo

but if you wanna use fields=, it has to be a list of embedfields

[slate idol]

Could you show me your code block for that embed?

[sage tendon]

its ugly because of how my command works but yea

[slate idol]

Thank you!!! 💞

[sage tendon]

nice

and yea inline=True forces fields onto their own row (i think)

[slate idol]

Opposite:
inline = is it in the same line?

[sage tendon]

oh nvm i mixed it up

yea inline=False forces it onto its own row

[ivory beacon]

@sage tendon
hlw:)

[sage tendon]

[ivory beacon]

@sage tendon
look at this
it's not working anymore

[sage tendon]

yea well

[ivory beacon]

but 🙂

i need a solution

[sage tendon]

good luck

[ivory beacon]

message._interaction.data
is working btw

[ivory beacon]

so there is no solution ?

[sage tendon]

man i dont even most remotely remember what the problem was

[sage tendon]

if it's private it usually means you should avoid it

[ivory beacon]

okh wait , let me explain again

[ivory beacon]

is there any way get the slash command name from message ?
/profile
message.interaction.data['name'] was working fine

but as there is InteractionMetadata 🙂

there is no data dict

[sage tendon]

message.interaction

[ivory beacon]

yes but as interaction have data attribute , InteractionMetadata doesn't have any data attributes

i need to access the raw interaction data:)

[sage tendon]

yea no clue sorry

[ivory beacon]

ok

[slate idol]

fields don't stay inline on mobile

[edgy nest]

never have

[lapis dock]

was justs scrolling down to tell you this

problem is normal text might not stay in line either

table like formatting is a pain on discord

[slate idol]

😭 k thanks for all the help, folks! I'll return with a solution if I find something.

[sage tendon]

oh.. right

I also had my share of issues with embeds on mobile

sorry

[sage tendon]

I have never looked into modals much but is it possible to have a message command pop up a modal, and once you submit that modal, the bot can ctx.respond in chat to the original interaction? or does that not work

[fresh sierra]

it will respond with the modal and then followup

so yes it should work

I'm trying to get a tag from the forum to attach it to the thread

[errant trout]

applied_tags in edit should be a list

and i think you already fixed the previous error?

[broken pivot]

I was just checking to see what would return available_tags to me

[lapis dock]

This looks like you are not using utf-8 for your character encoding. It is trying to show the 🥺 emoji.
I found something on stackoverflow but im not sure if it will work for you.
You can try setting PYTHONIOENCODING=utf-8 in the enviroment varibles of python

[errant trout]

well the code they posted already forced encoding to utf-8, no clue if they actually fixed it since they ran into a different error instead

[broken pivot]

What about this?

[lapis dock]

#1132206148309749830 message

[broken pivot]

it seems to me that these are library errors

[lapis dock]

the second error you posted is a library error but it is because you are passing the argument incorrectly.

[broken pivot]

I don't quite understand, it's supposed to return a sheet with tags.

[lapis dock]

channel.available_tags[1] you are getting a single tag and passing in a place that needs a list of tags

[broken pivot]

a, I understood

[lapis dock]

That error is from them trying to print though, not using the files.

[errant trout]

I doubt it, I think it's more likely the traceback is reporting the wrong error line because they updated the file

Encoding would be completely unrelated to that print

[broken pivot]

How inconveniently it is done

[errant trout]

You can just change the 1 to 1:2

[broken pivot]

?

[errant trout]

For indexing

[broken pivot]

a, I need one tag

[errant trout]

1 gets item at position 1, 1:2 gets the items from position 1 to 2 exclusive, thus you just get a list of 1 item

[broken pivot]

if I change to 1:2, I will use 2 tags at the same time

[errant trout]

Nope, it'll be 1

My general point is that'll return a list for you already, not a single object (which fixes the issue)

[chrome plover]

is the error code 520 from cloudflare caused by too many requests to discord? Or is it a vps issue?

[errant trout]

What's the full error in your console

Vps might have been temp banned? I forget

[chrome plover]

its a whole html

[errant trout]

Oh no

You might wanna reach out to your support team

[chrome plover]

but the bot seems to be working fine?

[errant trout]

Oh? I guess it's not as bad as I thought

Getting html in console generally isn't a great sign

[chrome plover]

it just stops that command

[broken pivot]

wow, its really work

[errant trout]

Does it not give a line it errors on?

Yep

[broken pivot]

I'm surprised, thank you.

[errant trout]

Allgood

[chrome plover]

well it was in a traceback block that had to do with sending a DM to user or sending a message in a channel so not exactly

[errant trout]

Try-except? Try without it

[chrome plover]

yea well ok but idk how to replicate it

it doesn't happen

[errant trout]

Oh it isn't consistent?

[chrome plover]

but sometimes every 5-7 days

yea

[errant trout]

Hmm

You can probably ignore it, but it does sound like your vps has some weird inconsistency with discord

[chrome plover]

could be

I'll contact them I guess, that's the only thing I can do

ty

[errant trout]

Allgood

[broken pivot]

how I can get thread from interaction? interaction.channel return forum channel

[sage tendon]

why do you only have interaction?

nvm

[broken pivot]

It's convenient

I found a slightly different way to get the thread

[sage tendon]

?
I meant why you only have interaction and not ctx

ctx.channel should return the thread

[broken pivot]

on_interaction event

[sage tendon]

ah

[echo wraith]

Is it right that Interaction not found can happen when you defer if your internet is slow cuz you are too slow to get it and send it back?

Becuase defer is a response

[lapis dock]

Yes. In most cases you should defer as the first line in your callback if you need to defer in the first place. If this is how you have it than it is just an internet speed issue

[sage tendon]

defer allows you to respond within 15 minutes

[echo wraith]

Yes thanks, was answering to someone elses question but wanted to be sure that internet was the issue before saying it 😆

[oak onyx]

What is the difference between on_member_update and on_user_update

Called when a User updates their profile.

Called when a Member updates their profile.

[sage tendon]

user could be any user the bot has cached, member only guild members

[oak onyx]

Hmm, I don't fully understand, but I guess I will find out over time

But I have another question, are these attributes not available because of any intent?

The docs don't metion any needed intent

avatar_decoration, is_migrated and jump_url

[sage tendon]

why?

can you not access it?

[oak onyx]

yes

exactly

[sage tendon]

what does it return?

[oak onyx]

None

hmm

nvm.

[oak onyx]

I think it works, there are just no type hints

[sage tendon]

I mean is_migrated is just a bool for one

and the others are correctly typehinted in their return type last I checked

[oak onyx]

I think not

and vs code does also not recognize them

[sage tendon]

vscode is a bad IDE

[oak onyx]

Well, I don't think thats the problem here, since vs code works for the other attributes

[sage tendon]

Its probably because it's in user and not overwritten by member

which is sad that vscode can't even detect that

[sage tendon]

but not sure

yea, I checked, it is

[oak onyx]

but I don't even know where it gets avatar_decoration from, since it is not mentioned in discord.member.py

[sage tendon]

not sure if pycord remembered to implement that you can have an avatar decoration per server now

gotta ask a maintainer

[mossy violet]

then what would you suggest? It’s all I’ve used

[sage tendon]

pycharm

[oak onyx]

meh, I don't like it

I used it for a year at work but hmm

[sage tendon]

vscode sucks because it tries to work for every language, and thus sucks at all of them equally

pycharm is great for python.

[fresh sierra]

How can he check if a user changed his profil if he doesn’t have any guild in common 🤔

[sage tendon]

DMs

user installation events are also upcoming

[fresh sierra]

It might has been removed in 2.6

[fresh sierra]

For user installation !

[sage tendon]

no, it hasnt been

[fresh sierra]

Well see

[sage tendon]

it's just because its inherited from discord.User

and apparently vscode is too stupid to recognise that

[fresh sierra]

I got them in mine

[errant trout]

Member uses a decorator to inherit attributes from User

(per-guild avatar decos are fairly recent and haven't been implemented)

[sage tendon]

ah yea i looked into this more, and i forgot that i tested this with ctx.author, which is a union of User and Member

if i explicitly typehint it as member it doesnt show either

mb

[oak onyx]

see apparently PyCharm is too stupid to recognise that 😆

[sage tendon]

thats not how it works

i didnt know it was inherited in this way

[pulsar ferry]

Hey all - starting a new bot and i dont have any cogs yet... just have 1 simple slash command right now and its been showing in the server, but it doesnt seem to be updating as i make changes and add new arguments to it... is there some sort of refresh/register command im missing?

[sage tendon]

restart discord

ctrl+r

[pulsar ferry]

that was easy... thanks... i quess quitting out and opening again doesnt do it

[sage tendon]

it does, but ctrl+r is faster

unless you mean basically just minimizing discord to the taskbar

you can also just use the command once and itll update immediately, but if you have many required options, thats just slower most of the time

[noble flax]

When using a slash command and providing a dropdown/list for an autocomplete, is it purely text you can display or do emoji's work? (providing you know the id etc.)

[civic lotus]

Hi! I want to know how User app works and how to do it

[echo wraith]

You have the example here, make sure tu upgrade pycord with pip install py-cord==2.6. If anything dosen't work, or you need questions, feel free to ask.

[civic lotus]

I selected this:

how to "invite" now

i found i think

[echo wraith]

Select "Discord provided link below", then add "bot" then select the permissions

[civic lotus]

oh

very cool

[cyan prism]

so I have

with this for setup

I have a file named spamDetect,py in the cogs folder with a class named spamDetect and a function named detectSpam()

how

[frail basin]

Is the spamDetect function an async function?

[echo wraith]

there it is "sDetect" not "spamDetect"

[cyan prism]

oh I tried renaming it to make sure I wasn't stupid lol, I changed it back since then (old log screenshot)

[echo wraith]

right

[errant trout]

get_cog is not async

[echo wraith]

The none type error means that get_cog is returning none

[errant trout]

ah

[cyan prism]

nope but I also have another identical thing that is working

[frail basin]

if it is not async then you dont need await

[errant trout]

what happens when you print bot.cogs

[cyan prism]

get this

[echo wraith]

Yeah but there's anther func after

[cyan prism]

I have an identical function pretty much

this is the spam thing

[errant trout]

then yeah remove await

[cyan prism]

ohhh

I'm stupid wait

[errant trout]

also would probably be better to put a listener inside the cog instead

[cyan prism]

alright so yes it would turn out that I'm completely stupid

they're both async

I'm just blind

and got confused

thanks for the help lol

[errant trout]

you can do unicode emojis, but not custom emojis

autocomplete will not render any formatting etc.

[noble flax]

Thank you

[pulsar ferry]

How do i go about making some of these arguments optional and add descriptions to them?

@bot.slash_command(description="Run a backtest")
async def backtest(
    ctx,
    start_date: str,
    end_date: str,
):

[sage tendon]

use the @discord.option decorator below the slash command decorator

[pulsar ferry]

found this but still looking for all the docs on Options
https://guide.pycord.dev/interactions/application-commands/slash-commands/#options--option-types

[sage tendon]

just use the decorator, its a million times better than the typehint and more flexible

and has the same args

[pulsar ferry]

how to i make it optional though?

[sage tendon]

required=False

[bleak abyss]

Is there a way to keep data from the first execution of an autocomplete, so i don't have to execute a new api request each time the user write something ?

[pulsar ferry]

and what about for the default value.... default=?

[sage tendon]

yea

check the docs its all there
