Basic Pycord Help

[sage tendon]

you still have discord.py installed

discord in the list

[limpid marten]

guh

[sage tendon]

uninstall that and py-cord yes, uninstall both and then only reinstall py-cord (make sure to include the dash)

if not you might have leftover discord.py files in the directory

[limpid marten]

ight

okay i uninstalled both

okay now im 100% sure i did everything right

[sage tendon]

show your pip list again

also sidenote but idk why you have a DateTime package, python has a built in datetime package, might mess things up

[limpid marten]

i actually have no idea i dont recall installing anything like that

[sage tendon]

meh then its probably a dependency, then leave it

yea looks good

[limpid marten]

okay so i think i

fully converted my code into PURE PYCORD

[sage tendon]

if it runs

and works

[limpid marten]

everything runs fine

ok so now onto this

@bot.bridge_command()
async def fight(ctx, user):
    member = ctx.author
    gifs = ['https://tenor.com/view/murro-punch-punching-mad-madness-gif-24184117', 'https://tenor.com/view/meme-memes-memes2022funny-meme-face-punch-gif-25436787', 'https://tenor.com/view/mochi-cat-vans-gif-21776348', 'https://tenor.com/view/hasbulla-hasbik-funny-trending-meme-gif-21766562']
    randomgif = ''.join(choices(gifs))
    print(randomgif)
    embed = discord.Embed(title=f"{member} has {''.join(choices(['punched', 'hit', 'knocked', 'slammed']))} {user}")
    embed.set_image(url=randomgif)
    await ctx.send(embed=embed)

[sage tendon]

yea, those are not proper gif links

you need to copy the acutal gif link from the site, e.g. https://media1.tenor.com/m/x39il9SwZK0AAAAC/murro-punch.gif for the first one

[limpid marten]

oh ill try

[sage tendon]

just right click the gif and click copy image link

[limpid marten]

ay that might work

lemme see

[sage tendon]

not sure what this is for though..

[limpid marten]

gets a random gif from the list

[sage tendon]

but why ''.join lol

just do choices(gifs)

never heard of that either lol, i just use random.choice()

[limpid marten]

wont it do like the dumb []

[sage tendon]

no

and use random.choice

[limpid marten]

from random import choices

[sage tendon]

ah
yea but choice is different from choices

[limpid marten]

peak coding

[sage tendon]

choice selects a single item from the given iterable

choices returns multiple, as a list

[limpid marten]

my lord this code is like

absolutely cooked

yippee!

ok so now i actually have to make it work when someone pings the user

so its
.superkomfort has knocked @usernamehere
and not
.superkomfort has knocked @spiral wharf

should be easy actually

[limpid marten]

bingo it was easy!

now i actually see how much better pycord is

[sage tendon]

yea you just put discord.Member as typehint

[pulsar ferry]

Is it possible to hide specific args from showing in the slash command to discord user?

[sage tendon]

why hide?

[pulsar ferry]

I want to use the same function that can be invoked by slash in discord by another command in the program but don’t want use to be able to give a value for it

[sage tendon]

wdym another command

[pulsar ferry]

Function *

[sage tendon]

can you show what you mean

[pulsar ferry]

I have 2 commands on my bot optimize() and backtest(). Backtest takes a bunch of args provided by user. Optimize() is a function that runs on a schedule (not slash command) but it calls backtest().

When backtest is called, there is a “system” flag so it modifies logic if user is using it with slash or if optimize() is calling it.

I don’t want user to see “system” as an arg

[sage tendon]

honestly I'd just make the actual code of the backtest command a separate function which you call directly from the slash command, and then you just pass idk system=False in your code

that way you can just remove the arg from the command

[pulsar ferry]

Hmm okay may have to do a bunch of refactoring then 😅

[sage tendon]

not really lol

make a new function, paste the entire code there, then just call that function from the command and from your optimize function
that's it really

just wondering how it even works rn like, without a command invocation you don't have stuff like ctx or anything lol

[pulsar ferry]

Gotta run will explain later tough

[mellow pebble]

is it possible to get user activity status

i got a wierd idea of using it in getting information of current song playing in spotify

[rugged lodge]

Searched in pycord

discord.Member.activities

[mellow pebble]

thanks

any example code ?

[shell radish]

why do you need example code for this

[mellow pebble]

idk i am confussed, but let me try

i will figure it out

[sage tendon]

"the activities that the user [...] is doing" sounds so weird

[mellow pebble]

i got it thanks

working

yay

but here's the thing, it works only if you have the bot in the server somehow i doesn't for the user installed app

[sage tendon]

it does, but only for the invoking member

the problem is that other members are only passed as their user equivalent for user apps

and I'm p sure user objects don't have the activities

that or they blocked it anyway (discord)

[shell radish]

privacy. You wouldn't want anyone able to just fetch with your ID and get your status/activity would you?

[sage tendon]

yea

[mellow pebble]

yes it doesn't 🥲

true it's okkay :D

[sage tendon]

user apps are unfortunately a little too limited imo

[fresh sierra]

how to disable all logger.info to work from py-cord but not from my code (if possible ofc)

like i can do logger.info it will work but all the logger.info from discord will not appear

[frail basin]

create a new logger instance which isnt named "discord"

[fresh sierra]

no my goal is to keep discord logger to have the warning etc

[frail basin]

logging.getLogger('discord').setLevel(logging.WARNING)

[bitter meteor]

how to remove field from embed?

[sage tendon]

May be a stupid question but just dont add it in the first place (?)

[bitter meteor]

but what if you want to modifly embed?

or just send one more?

[sage tendon]

well, https://docs.pycord.dev/en/stable/api/data_classes.html#discord.Embed.remove_field

[bitter meteor]

oh ok thanks

[fresh sierra]

You didn’t understand, I want to be able to reveice the discord logging of warning but to use the same logger to do logger.info for my code and it only show the one from mycode

Ig it’s too specific

[limpid marten]

how do i make user app commands?

(or something along these lines)

i wanna be able to use russian roulette everywhere

[sage tendon]

did you already enable user install in the developer website?

[limpid marten]

yup!

[sage tendon]

and you already installed it on yourself?

[rugged lodge]

Here's the slash users example.

[limpid marten]

i think so

[sage tendon]

ah, that's, faster probably yea

read that

[errant trout]

But... why...

[sage tendon]

no offense but probably another one of Lumas crazily overcomplicated ideas that achieve the same thing as something much easier

[limpid marten]

its the thought that counts

[limpid marten]

according to my copy and paste it should work

[errant trout]

Do you remember actually using the oauth url to install it to your user

[sage tendon]

If your bot has the "add app" button on its profile you can use that too

[limpid marten]

LO AND BEHOLD IT DOES!

[sage tendon]

what is that cat emoji in the bottom right

[limpid marten]

vencord plugin

i have a little kitty following my cursor at all times

its on top of your pfp now!

[sage tendon]

oh lol

[limpid marten]

[fresh sierra]

Logger.info from discord send way to much message ;​​​ )​ and i like to type logger.info instead of logger.log

[fresh sierra]

That’s how I progress ;​​​ )​

[limpid marten]

anyways now ill implement this on every (possible) command now

[errant trout]

So set log level on startup and then just use getLogger like everyone else suggested

[limpid marten]

so i can stop RELYING ON OTHER BOTS!

[sage tendon]

be careful and test every command
user apps are quite limited

[fresh sierra]

Yeah but so if I do
logger.info it will not appear right ?

[sage tendon]

you only receive User objects for any User apart from the command invoker for example

so it can quickly break if you use e.g. member.roles

[limpid marten]

surely if it can send embeds it can send the avatar of the specified user

[sage tendon]

only the global avatar though, but yes

[fresh sierra]

But ig I will just overwrite the .info func to then if a special key is there is work and else it does not emit

[limpid marten]

exactly what im lookin for

[sage tendon]

it cant access the guild-specific one except for the one of the person that used the command

[limpid marten]

eh i dont mind that

[errant trout]

assign getLogger to a variable, then setLevel on it and use that

[fresh sierra]

you mean like so :

logger = colorlog.getLogger("discord")
logger.setLevel(colorlog.INFO)

if yes this will also add the log from py-cord

[errant trout]

No, because you're intruding on the discord logger again

Why do you have to use the discord name?

[sage tendon]

Luma with all your requirements just fork pycord and change everything

literally you want to rewrite like half the library

[fresh sierra]

to get access to the logging like rate limit etc

[errant trout]

This isn't even pycord related, theyre trying to tackle a core package now

[sage tendon]

ah

[fresh sierra]

by rewrite i learn how do that work, its more to progress than else

[errant trout]

What

[fresh sierra]

and i didnt change a lot of thing only the class of the bot to create hybrid command

[fresh sierra]

by using that logging when my bot is rate limit or anything else its log it inside the terminale right ?

[errant trout]

I guess? But you have to receive all the logs :)

(See docs for how to filter logs, I'm not bothering to explain that here)

[fresh sierra]

if i set it to warning i get everything else than warning, but its okay i will continue to use logger.log. It seems not really logic

also i got another issue, im trying if the logger is more than a certain level to send it via a webhook to discord

so i will first focus on that

thanks for the help tho

[pulsar ferry]

is there a way to close out a ctx.defer() without sending a response back (i.e ctx.response())

[sage tendon]

no

you always have to respond to interactions, no matter if deferred or not

[pulsar ferry]

ok thansk

[fresh sierra]

defer -> ctx.delete?

[fresh sierra]

yes you can according to nelo

You could try defer -> ctx.delete?

[sage tendon]

no idea, but i see zero use cases where you would just.. not respond at all

[pulsar ferry]

if the command timesout

[sage tendon]

like you should give the user something

[pulsar ferry]

it still just says thinking..

[sage tendon]

then make sure that cant happen

[pulsar ferry]

the user has 60 seconds to review the arguments they provide otherwise i want it to delete

[sage tendon]

but why do you defer?

make a modal

oh nvm

[pulsar ferry]

I am

[fresh sierra]

like button that edit a message for example -> to not rate limit

[pulsar ferry]

async def _confirm_action(ctx, embed):
    class ConfirmView(View):
        def __init__(self, timeout=60):
            super().__init__(timeout=timeout)
            self.value = None

        @discord.ui.button(label="Confirm", style=discord.ButtonStyle.green)
        async def confirm(self, button: discord.ui.Button, interaction: discord.Interaction):
            self.value = True
            await interaction.message.delete()
            self.stop()

        @discord.ui.button(label="Cancel", style=discord.ButtonStyle.red)
        async def cancel(self, button: discord.ui.Button, interaction: discord.Interaction):
            self.value = False
            await interaction.message.delete()
            self.stop()

        async def on_timeout(self):
            # Check if the message still exists before attempting to delete
            if self.message:
                try:
                    await self.message.delete()
                except discord.NotFound:
                    pass  # The message was already deleted

    view = ConfirmView()
    await ctx.send(embed=embed, view=view)
    await view.wait()
    return view.value

[sage tendon]

just use ctx.respond..

[pulsar ferry]

so they can cancel and re send command if they provide bad arg

just getting rid of the defer as this is instant and going to put it after

but it peaked the curiosity if it were possible

[sage tendon]

why do you defer at all then..

just respond and delete the message if the user doesnt do anything

[tidal vessel]

Can you help me with this problem? The command returns an error that it needs permissions but the Bot is admin on the server. It also has intents enabled.

This is the first time I try to modify the nick of a member, is something wrong?

Error:
discord.errors.ApplicationCommandInvokeError: Application Command raised an exception: Forbidden: 403 Forbidden (error code: 50013): Missing Permissions

[sage tendon]

are you the server owner?

[tidal vessel]

yes

[sage tendon]

and trying to use the command?

[tidal vessel]

yes

[sage tendon]

bots cant edit server owners

[tidal vessel]

ooohh

[sage tendon]

also, use ctx.respond(), its shorter and does the same thing

[tidal vessel]

Ah yes, you're right I tried it with my other account and it worked, and thanks for the tip!

[mellow pebble]

i noticed one more thing, the subcommands of a group does not work in user installable apps

like if i have a group called emotes a

and i have a emote named smile so it won't show up in user installable apps

but only works in server that has teh bot

[errant trout]

You have to set the install context on the group, not the subcommands

[mellow pebble]

k

let me try

it worked thanks

[warm linden]

can someone give me a doc on selects and modals please

[rugged lodge]

Here's the modal dialogs example.

Here's the dropdown example.

[warm linden]

thanks

[mellow pebble]

is there any cog.listener for users as in user installable apps

[rugged lodge]

Here's the slash cog example.

[mellow pebble]

like i want to make a afk that works anywhere ( i don't think that will work )

but is there possibilisty it would ?

[limpid marten]

what are the exact limits of user apps

i noticed my spotify command doesnt work in servers that the bot is not in

[sage tendon]

they're quite limited

you of course can't join vcs since you're not actually in the server

you only ever get user objects instead of member objects except for the person calling the command

you can't take any actions on the guild, in fact you barely get a guild object to begin with

make sure to limit commands that don't work on user install to only being used if your bot is installed on a guild to not confuse your users

[sage tendon]

no

[sage tendon]

according to discord, soon

[mellow pebble]

sad :F

[mellow pebble]

ahh that should do

[limpid marten]

yeah i do that

but i also noticed that fmbot's /spotify command also doesnt work in other servers

[sage tendon]

I mean yea, as I said, it's not possible to join VCs with a user app lol

[errant trout]

...?

When were any new events announced

[limpid marten]

no its not that

its supposed to show currently listening

[sage tendon]

ah

[fresh sierra]

If you access to the channel to check that it might be the issue since the bot can’t access to that channel

[sage tendon]

yea you cant get activities of anyone other than the command invoker

because for anyone but the person using the command, you only get the User object, which doesnt have activities

[limpid marten]

in my case i cant even get activities of the command invoker

[sage tendon]

then i guess they limited that too

user apps really are too limited

[limpid marten]

or maybe my code is absolutely ass

[sage tendon]

print(member.activities) ig

[limpid marten]

what do i do with that

[sage tendon]

check if there are any? lol

[limpid marten]

okay sure

alot

[sage tendon]

yea i mean then the spotify activity will be there too if you open spotify

oh wait no its right there lol

[limpid marten]

except if i use the command in dms

[sage tendon]

yea because DMs dont have a member object to pass

as you can see it tells you "User" object

[limpid marten]

oh

[sage tendon]

commands that need activities can only work in guilds, and if you have a user app, only on the person calling the command

[limpid marten]

so i can try and fix it but itll only work on the person using the command?

[sage tendon]

yea

because you only get the Member object for the command user, no one else

[limpid marten]

[sage tendon]

same

[limpid marten]

i actually have no idea how to do this

[sage tendon]

i also had a ton of ideas for user apps but they were all ruined

[limpid marten]

i REALLY want to do this but i have no idea how

[sage tendon]

well i told you the limits
i'd probably just limit it to guild installs

[limpid marten]

im fine with the limits

i dont mind if only i can use the command

[sage tendon]

ah

https://docs.pycord.dev/en/stable/api/models.html#discord.Member.activities well according to this you should be able to iterate through the activities until isinstance(activity, discord.Spotify)

if i'm reading that right

[limpid marten]

i did steal some code

and added my own embed

and other stuff

and got this

[sage tendon]

i mean..

for activity in member.activities:
    if not isinstance(activity, discord.Spotify):
        continue
    # your code here

ah

yea

why is this greyed out lol

[limpid marten]

do i do that instead of if isinstance

[limpid marten]

it says its unreachable for some reason lol

but it clearly reaches people

[sage tendon]

do if not user

== None should be avoided anyway, if anything it's is None

[sage tendon]

i mean yours is the same thing lol

[limpid marten]

oh

[limpid marten]

okay so i put that instead

[sage tendon]

yea

[limpid marten]

still greyed out but should work technically

[sage tendon]

weird

well try to get into that if clause and print something ig

if it works then ignore what your IDE says, but weird

[limpid marten]

but doesnt it make it optional

[sage tendon]

Also, i do it like this because there's a concept called something like "exit as early as possible"
It can make your code cleaner, because I have one less indentation than you now for the actual spotify-handling code for example
and that can quickly stack up

[sage tendon]

No, in the if clause, not in the function header

[limpid marten]

oh!

my bad

[sage tendon]

@bot.slash_command ()
async def spotify(ctx, user: discord.Member = None):
    if not user:
        user = ctx.author
    for activity in user.activities:
        if not isinstance(activity, Spotify):
            continue
        embed = discord.Embed(title=f"{activity.title}",
        url=activity.track_url,
        description=f"**{activity.artist}** · *{activity.album}*"
        colour=0x27b300)
        embed.set_author(name=f"Now playing - {user.name}",
        icon_url=user.avatar)
        embed.set_thumbnail(url=activity.album_cover_url)
        return await ctx.respond(embed=embed)
    await ctx.respond("User isn't listening to Spotify", ephemeral=True)

thats how i'd do it

[limpid marten]

also yeah the greyed out part actually works

[sage tendon]

yea weird, then its just VSC being dumb

[limpid marten]

peak ide

[sage tendon]

pycharm >>>>>>>>>>>>

[limpid marten]

i did use pycharm

but it broke someday and i just switched to vsc

honestly i dont even remember

[sage tendon]

and remember to do some failsafe if there is no spotify activity, like i did here

[limpid marten]

yeah thats a good idea too

should i switch back to pycharm

[sage tendon]

i would

[limpid marten]

fair enough

ill switch

[sage tendon]

also i'd recommend using the @discord.option decorator to handle options with defaults etc

that way you can set descriptions, make it not-required without needing = None in the function header, pass a default etc

[limpid marten]

ok yeah i really want the descriptions

HOLD ON THERES A FEATURE SO PEOPLE CAN CODE WITH YOU???

hop on

what pycharm plugins are recommended

[lucid crest]

is there an event that triggers when a user installs the app for himself ( discord.IntegrationType.user_install )

[spark zealot]

how can I get a roles ID just from its name?

[lucid crest]

i think like this

role = discord.utils.get(guild.roles, name='Foo')
if role:
  role_id = role.id

[frail ocean]

aiohttp.client_exceptions.ClientConnectorError: Cannot connect to host discord.com:443 ssl:default [Temporary failure in name resolution]

How to solve?

[fresh sierra]

just wait, ur host seems to have some issue

[frail ocean]

Thx

[fresh sierra]

i think for the moment there is still not even for user_install

[warm linden]

how to i make my select menu work for a longer period of time where it doesnt time out and cam be reused

[rugged lodge]

Here's the persistent example.

[warm linden]

as in something like this zervy?

        self.add_item(discord.ui.InputText(
            label="User ID:",
            placeholder="",
            custom_id="persistent_view:id",
        ))

[fresh sierra]

.tag persistent

[sly karma]

The Issue

When you send a message with a view, button for example
if your bot restarts, you will lose the ability to use this button.

How To Fix This

1. Set your view timeout to None

• By default, the view timeout value is set to 300 seconds

2. Pass a custom_id value to the view

• Custom ids must be unique
• Chose a custom id that has a meaning in relation to your view

3. Add the view to the bot

• You can use the method Bot.add_view(YourViewClass())
• Make sure to add the view when the bot begin ready

[warm linden]

thanks bro

[echo wraith]

How do I fix this?

[cold jay]

Is Pycord supposed to work with mypy? It doesn't seem to be detecting types from it when I run mypy on my project 🤔

[sage tendon]

yea but I think in ultimate only

[sage tendon]

what even is that

[limpid marten]

are you sure

[sage tendon]

you don't have to typehint that..

[sage tendon]

I think

[echo wraith]

ok

[cold jay]

It's the type checker for Python, iirc it's the one most people use: https://github.com/python/mypy

[sage tendon]

never heard of that, and frankly, I think typehints as they are in python are enough

[limpid marten]

wanna try

[sage tendon]

so if it doesn't work it probably isn't supported by pycord

[sage tendon]

no

[limpid marten]

aw alright

[sage tendon]

I have the ultimate edition

so that won't help

[cold jay]

Well no, I'm not even getting any type hints in VS Code returned from a call to discord.Bot(). That's not correct, right?

[limpid marten]

but why can i avatar.url but i cant banner.url

[sage tendon]

what
if you create an object of a class that can only return... an object of that class

there's no way discord.Bot returns anything but a discord.Bot

[cold jay]

Yeah, VS Code seems to not even know that discord.Bot is a class... I'm thinking it can't find the types for Pycord, but I'm not sure why

[sage tendon]

yea, my tip is don't use vsc

it just kinda shitty

[fresh sierra]

well im using vsc i have no issue at all about that

[cold jay]

You're getting types to pop up just fine?

[sage tendon]

if you ctrl+click discord.Bot it should bring you to the appropriate file in Pycord tho
if it doesn't chances are you didn't install it properly

[fresh sierra]

yep

for everything

[sage tendon]

yea that's one thing vsc does do properly at least

[limpid marten]

does anyone know

[sage tendon]

if it doesn't do that something is wrong

[cold jay]

I thought so, maybe there's something wrong. I have it installed with Poetry, how did y'all install it?

[sage tendon]

check the docs

[sage tendon]

pip lol

pip install py-cord

yes, the dash matters

[fresh sierra]

venv -> requierment.txt

[sage tendon]

and venv, yes

[limpid marten]

why does the search work so slowly in pycord doc 😭

[cold jay]

Yeah I've been using that, I'm just trying it in a fresh venv to see if it makes a difference. Just one sec lol

[sage tendon]

it's not slow, the results are just genuinely ass

e.g. if I look for Member, discord.Member is like the tenth result
why.

[limpid marten]

that too

[sage tendon]

but it has no delay for me

[sage tendon]

yea doesn't do that for me

probably an extension if I had to guess

[limpid marten]

i do have a couple

[sage tendon]

bro looked up team fortress 2 in the Pycord search

[limpid marten]

I DIDNT I SWEAR

ITS PROBABLY FROM ANOTHER WEBSITE

[sage tendon]

what browser even is that

[limpid marten]

opera

gx

im this close to going to firefox

[sage tendon]

please do

[limpid marten]

yknow what sure

[sage tendon]

hands down ogx is the worst big browser if I had to pick

[limpid marten]

can i transfer data

[sage tendon]

p sure there's an import process yea

[limpid marten]

yeah saw it

holy lord its like instant now

[limpid marten]

from the bottom to the top of my heart thank you for encouraging me to switch

[sage tendon]

lol

and please, for adblock, get NOTHING but ublock origin

[limpid marten]

just did

[sage tendon]

also #general lol

[cold jay]

I did some testing @sage tendon @fresh sierra, and it looks like my typing tools freak out when mypy is set to use strict typing (types won't even appear in VS Code if I have the setting set up in mypy's config file). Is this expected?

[little cobalt]

for what do you really need mypy?

[cold jay]

To make sure I'm using everything correctly in my project, afaik it's used pretty widely

Just seemed like best practice to make sure I'm coding good

[sage tendon]

I can just talk for myself but I have never seen anyone use that

[little cobalt]

you cannot really use anything wrong if you know what you are doing

[sage tendon]

and seems unnecessary

you don't need typehints all that often anyway

just for function parameters and if you feel fancy, function return values
Both of which are hard to get wrong

[cold jay]

I mean Pycord uses them: https://github.com/Pycord-Development/pycord/blob/master/.github/workflows/lint.yml#L31-L53. I've seen it used on a lot of other project, but that's besides the point. I was mostly just wondering if y'all know anything about Pycord getting janky with strict mode on

[sage tendon]

yea but Pycord is a whole big library

[cold jay]

To be fair I haven't used mypy a ton in my Python programs yet, but it seemed like best practice from all the projects I've seen using it. Would you guys know if strict mode is just not supposed to be used or something?

[sage tendon]

your bot is like 1% of the code probably

[sage tendon]

my genuine advice is, don't use it
if it just causes issues it's not worth it

[cold jay]

Well yeah ofc, but it doesn't change the fact that I want to make sure I write good code. Typing just helps ensure that

Alright, sounds good

[sage tendon]

there's not really much you can do wrong

if you typehint at all you're already better than many

[cold jay]

I'm coming from type-forced languages like Rust, I just like ensuring bugs don't get introduced where they could be avoided. Better to catch them now before they pop up later on lol

But is Pycord itself not meant to work with strict typing? That's moreso a question outside of the scope of my project, is that some faulty behavior with Pycord or is that intentional?

[sage tendon]

I mean as I said there's not much to get wrong
If you typehint a command parameter incorrectly you will inherently notice because it doesn't work, and for anything else like return types of your own functions, I don't think you can get that wrong either unless you're very confused lol
like yknow what I mean

[cold jay]

I can open an issue for that on GitHub if it'd be better too

[sage tendon]

no idea

[cold jay]

Yeah, but I'd still like to type everything if I can, it's not really much more work from my perspective.

I'll go ahead and just make an issue then, I should be good outside of that. Unless you got any other thoughts haha

[sage tendon]

I mean you can type everything :> it's just not strictly enforced
and tbh ive never typehinted up until a year ago or so and never had issues really

[cold jay]

Yeah of course, I guess Rust just got me into a certain pattern of programming. I'm not positive if strict typing is the norm in Python, but I guess I'll find out more on that once the issue's up :/

[fresh sierra]

type hint is always a good thing to do

[cold jay]

Rust enforces it, it's all I know anyway 😭

Should be good once I get this issue posted though, thanks for the help up to this point 🙏🙏🙏

[sage tendon]

strict typing is also often a hindrance and annoying, in my limited experience with python

[little cobalt]

I do it in python to for more autocomplete at the IDE

[sage tendon]

in python I have functions that can return like 3 different types
pain to do in java

well, impossible in java unless you duplicate the code
in python you can easily typehint it

[little cobalt]

;3

[sage tendon]

yes

| None is python's any lol

not really but close enough I know

and correct me if I'm wrong but I think if you typehinted something like

number: int = string_function()

it would show a warning in your IDE

as long as the string function has a return type hinted

[limpid marten]

ay @sage tendon i took your advice to do some doc surfing and now my banner command works woohoo!

[sage tendon]

docs >>>>

istg

I need this channel for myself like once a month max

[limpid marten]

stack overflow is 70% a miss

docs are 80% a hit

[sage tendon]

no fuck stackoverflow

it's all discord.py

[limpid marten]

yeah true.

nobody pays attention to our dear pycord

[sage tendon]

I have yet to find an actual error in the docs
And everything is there

well some very obscure classes are missing but if you need those the question is rather "what are you doing"

[warm linden]

can someone help me with this please: TypeError: LeakCodeModal.__init__() missing 1 required keyword-only argument: 'title'
cogs/panels.py:

class LeakCodeModal(discord.ui.Modal):
    def __init__(self, *, title: str) -> None:
        super().__init__(title="Leak Code")

main.py:

    async def on_ready(self):
        if not self.persistent_views_added:
            from cogs.panels import LeakCodeModal, StartMessageModal, FinalModal
            self.add_view(LeakCodeModal())
            self.add_view(StartMessageModal())
            self.add_view(FinalModal())
            self.persistent_views_added = True

[edgy nest]

your __init__ requires title but you don't use it

[warm linden]

def __init__(self, *, title="xyz") -> None:

?

[tidal vessel]

You don't need the title in the __init__ method because you already use the title in super().__init__()

If you don't need additional parameters you should just use __init__(self)

[warm linden]

Thanks for that just a quick one should i not have my modals in my on_ready just the view?

[fickle salmon]

@errant trout here's the whole method

from discord import Poll, PollMedia, PollAnswer
@commands.slash_command(guild_ids=[717808299675877406], name="poll")
async def poll(self, ctx, question: Option(str), option1: Option(str), option2: Option(str)):
    """Start a poll"""
    try:
        await ctx.response.defer()
    except:
        pass
    poll = Poll(question=PollMedia(question), answers=[PollAnswer(option1), PollAnswer(option2)], duration=1, allow_multiselect=False)
    print(poll.to_dict())
    await ctx.respond(poll=poll)```

I just checked and discord.__version__ prints 2.6.0

[errant trout]

hm, using the same code it worked on my end...

long shot, rename the command function?

[fickle salmon]

trying py-cord==2.6.0 real quick

still broken

rename doesn't work either

pycord supports python 3.12 right?

I just realized my dev container was still using 3.11

same error with 3.12

[little cobalt]

yes

[errant trout]

idk i literally can't repro

what if you change the token

if you wanna dig through source, it's all handled here (just ctrl+f for poll)

maybe try sending it with content?

[fickle salmon]

weird

[quiet siren]

I'm having some issue with having selecting a news channel with a discord.TextChannel type in a command, I have it as

async def setchannel(ctx: discord.ApplicationContext, channel: discord.TextChannel):

bot can list other channels fine, but it seems that news channel are not accepted as a valid option there, is there another selector I have to use for that?

[sage tendon]

the type of option is handed to discord which then chooses what to display to you
i suppose they made it so you cant put news channels there

[quiet siren]

hm, that's certainly interesting

[sage tendon]

I have the same behaviour for my bot though, never noticed that

i never noticed my announce command which is supposed to announce stuff in announcement channels doesnt work in announcement channels

[vague plaza]

can I delete the bot's own messages simply by passing the message id?

[sage tendon]

await bot.get_message(<id>).delete()

wont work if its not cached, keep that in mind

so any messages sent before the bot started wont work using that

if you want to delete uncached messages its a bit more of a pain, since you need to store the channel ID too

[vague plaza]

its fine I'll store that

I want to delete uncached messages

[sage tendon]

yea then you can do

message = await bot.get_channel(<channel_id>).fetch_message(<message_id>)
await message.delete()

[vague plaza]

thanks, so what is delete_messages() used for then?

[sage tendon]

well, if you wanna delete more than one message in the same channel

but it needs a list of messages

you could make use of https://docs.pycord.dev/en/stable/api/models.html#discord.TextChannel.purge too

[vague plaza]

but id still end up needing the whole
bot.get_channel(<channel_id>).fetch_message(<message_id>)

right?

[sage tendon]

well, since you need to pass the messages as proper object, yes
if you need to delete multiple messages just use purge IMO

[little cobalt]

keep in mind that get_x can be None

;3

[sage tendon]

i know zervy

[little cobalt]

not you

[sage tendon]

:>

[little cobalt]

other users dont now it

;3

[sage tendon]

but as long as the channel exists, get_channel shouldn't be None

[vague plaza]

nah only a single one for now. Might need that in the future tho, so good to know

[vague plaza]

what if I use

fetch_channel()

in stead of

get_channel()

[little cobalt]

Only if its in the cache

[sage tendon]

yea you can pass a check function to purge where you can just do return message.author.id = <bot_id>

[little cobalt]

both

[sage tendon]

which itll always be unless they meddled with the case

[little cobalt]

use both and check if its in the cache

[sage tendon]

avoid fetch whenever possible, btw
always try get first

I personally have never had get_channel fail as long as said channel exists
I'm not sure if pycord limits cache itself when the bot is in too many servers, but i doubt you'll ever have problems with it

[vague plaza]

why is that? I somewhere read that if get_channelreturns none then you should go for fetch_channel, but at this point if fetch_channel is safer, Ill just go with fetch_channel

[sage tendon]

Because you wanna send as few API requests as possible

API requests take time, and they also count towards the, well, API ratelimit

[vague plaza]

oh so get simply checks in the cache

[sage tendon]

yes

[little cobalt]

.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 is instant, fetch needs an API call which can take ~300ms or so to come back

can add up a lot, plus ratelimit issues if you do it a lot

there's also discord.utils.get_or_fetch but i find it a bit weird personally

https://docs.pycord.dev/en/stable/api/utils.html#discord.utils.get_or_fetch

for completeness sake

[vague plaza]

good thanks, I just learnt something new. Whats the discord rate limit?

[sage tendon]

well, pycord handles that itself
and fetching stuff like channels should have quite a high one
dont worry about it

[little cobalt]

I do it like this

[sage tendon]

but still, use get whenever possible

[vague plaza]

Absolutely, I will

[sage tendon]

example:

channel = await discord.utils.get_or_fetch(self.bot, "channel", channel_id)

[little cobalt]

I try to get more and more into OOP

[vague plaza]

thanks, I think Ill stick to the original
try get
except fetch

no nvm im dumb I meant

[sage tendon]

get wont throw exceptions

:>

[vague plaza]

if get is none ill go for fetch

[sage tendon]

yes

[vague plaza]

wait so get_channel is not async?

didnt know that

[sage tendon]

no, because it only works on the cache which is in memory

its so fast that async is unnecessary

[errant trout]

use discord.abc.GuildChannel

[sage tendon]

but news channels are TextChannel

[errant trout]

Discord does not agree

[sage tendon]

weird

i was gonna suggest that but i wasnt sure that was a valid option type

[errant trout]

We don't have a NewsChannel class because it serves little purpose, but it's its own type

[sage tendon]

plus it contains any channel, right?

[sage tendon]

ahh, ok

[errant trout]

GuildChannel is any channel in the guild yes

[sage tendon]

so even categories?

[errant trout]

Probably

[sage tendon]

let us see

[errant trout]

Otherwise you can refine it with the channel_types param

Also lol #1226541894113431663 message

[sage tendon]

with discord.TextChannel as the main type too?

[errant trout]

Yeah

Main type can be any channel class if you use channel_types, it gets overridden anyway

[sage tendon]

does contain categories

interesting

never seen that before

but you cant make it list only announcement channels right?

[errant trout]

You can if you set channel_types

[sage tendon]

nvm found it

im dumb

oh i can even omit the input type

[fickle salmon]

when I send with content, it sends just the content and not the poll

[errant trout]

...what if you don't defer?

[sage tendon]

if i had to guess (uneducated guess!) you can't send a poll after deferring for some reason
that, or pycord bug with deferring and polls

[fickle salmon]

works without defer

[errant trout]

Deferred send works fine for me

Does your bot have permissions in the channel

[fickle salmon]

yes?

[sage tendon]

send us your code please i wanna test too

[fickle salmon]

the poll gets sent without defer

[sage tendon]

like the minimal breaking code

[fickle salmon]

with defer it says empty message

@sage tendon #1132206148309749830 message

[sage tendon]

lets see

[errant trout]

idk looking through the source there's zero reason for it to not work

[fickle salmon]

😄

[sage tendon]

option typehint spotted i hope you stub your toe

[errant trout]

Yoooo he's real for that

[fickle salmon]

I'm not rewriting a 2000 line bot just because you have an opinion

[sage tendon]

also, why ctx.response.defer

why not ctx.defer

[fickle salmon]

why not

[sage tendon]

shorter

[fickle salmon]

same thing

[sage tendon]

a defer can fail?

[fickle salmon]

yes

[sage tendon]

wtf

how?

[errant trout]

If you've already responded/deferred

[sage tendon]

but as the first line?

[little cobalt]

if you do a defer at the slash command and add a defer to a sended button

[errant trout]

It's possible they do processing somewhere else

Idk

[echo wraith]

How can I type hint a drop-down / drop-down values to say it is a str drop-down?

[errant trout]

Str dropdown is default

You don't need to do anything special there

[echo wraith]

That's not what I meant

[fickle salmon]

can you repro @sage tendon

[errant trout]

Then what

[sage tendon]

i can reproduce

[errant trout]

Wtf

[fickle salmon]

good

nelo couldn't

😄

[sage tendon]

im not getting any error

just an infinite defer

[fickle salmon]

then you can't?

uh

I get a stack trace

[sage tendon]

3 different results

[fickle salmon]

but yes infinite defer

[sage tendon]

amazing

[echo wraith]

If I access dropdown.values I want to type hint something in a way that it know it is a list of str | None

[sage tendon]

if i pass any content, it works

[errant trout]

then list[str | None]

[fickle salmon]

you get the poll and the content?

[sage tendon]

yes

[fickle salmon]

I just get the content

[sage tendon]

wiat im stupid

yes, same

yea i can reproduce, minus the error

[fickle salmon]

does your bot not log errors?

[echo wraith]

The type checker is going to yell

[sage tendon]

uhh

[errant trout]

Why

[fickle salmon]

@commands.Cog.listener()
async def on_command_error(self, ctx, error):
    """ Send help message when a mis-entered command is received. """

    print('Ignoring exception in command {}:'.format(ctx.command), file=sys.stderr)
    traceback.print_exception(type(error), error, error.__traceback__, file=sys.stderr)```

[little cobalt]

command errors but what is for events?

[sage tendon]

i have an error handler that eats the error i think

[fickle salmon]

do this

you should get the same stack

[sage tendon]

its a listener, but it doesnt handle that type of error i think

[echo wraith]

I want to type hint m drop-down so that it's values are typed as list[str]

[lapis torrent]

Hey I'm doing some type checking on my project and getting weird type errors.

Code like guild = await bot.fetch_guild(GUILD_ID) is returning types.guild.Guild instead of discord.guild.Guild according to the pyre type checker. This is causing all sorts of weird type issues downstream. Seems to happen for other core classes like Messages, Interaction, etc. Any thoughts as to why?

[little cobalt]

stay in one channel pls

[lapis torrent]

Deleted in #general, sorry

[sage tendon]

yea okay if i force the error to be printed, i get it too
404 @fickle salmon

[little cobalt]

you already created a thread

[fickle salmon]

you mean 400?

[sage tendon]

1s i may be stupid

without defer it works fine btw

[fickle salmon]

yes

it does

[sage tendon]

yea 400 mb

[fickle salmon]

why can't nelo repro

[sage tendon]

nelo

@discord.slash_command()
    async def poll(self, ctx: discord.ApplicationContext):
        """Start a poll"""
        await ctx.defer()
        poll = discord.Poll(question=discord.PollMedia("question"),
                            answers=[discord.PollAnswer("option1"), discord.PollAnswer("option2")], duration=1,
                            allow_multiselect=False)
        print(poll.to_dict())
        try:
            await ctx.respond(poll=poll)
        except Exception as e:
            print(e)

This is my minimal code that throws the error

can you try exactly this code

[errant trout]

ok, can repro, but fully convinced this is a discord error

defer -> respond results in Interaction.followup.send - this is equivalent to Webhook.send
the weird thing is, regular webhooks can send polls

they use the exact same method for sending, yet only followup webhooks fail

I'll see if I can raise it with them, somehow...?

[lofty parcel]

Kek?

[deft kestrel]

is it possibile to create a command that only a user can see? like a guild command but just for a user

[errant trout]

change the command permissions (settings > integrations), or look into user-installable commands

[rugged lodge]

Here's the slash users example.

[vague plaza]

is therea bug within the pycord library? When I try to replace an image by using

message_to_edit.edit(content=post_caption, file=discord.File(post_bytes))

it just adds the new image without replacing the old one

[sage tendon]

try files=[discord.File...]

[shell radish]

attachments = []

to remove the current attachments

[sage tendon]

does this work too?

[errant trout]

files only adds new files

[sage tendon]

i see

[deft kestrel]

ok, i need to update pycord for slash commands users?

[errant trout]

2.6 yes

[deft kestrel]

Version: 2.4.1

f

[sage tendon]

bruh

[deft kestrel]

need to change something between the 2.4.1 to 2.6?

[sage tendon]

update, test, and find out

unless you use bridge, not really

[little cobalt]

It had a few changed and breaking stuff ;3

[vague plaza]

this works, thanks!!

[maiden bloom]

Am I dumb or is this not using semantic versioning then since breaking changes are being released in a minor version when it should be marked as a major release?

[shell radish]

they aren't mutually exclusive, but yes, we did technically break semantic versioning, but it wasn't part of the core library

[maiden bloom]

Oh. I was told by someone in here that it used semantic versioning when v2.5 was released lol. I asked if there were breaking changes and they told me it was a minor release and I should learn semantic versioning. What's funny is I had a breaking change when moving to 2.5 lmao

[shell radish]

we try to avoid breaking changes but if discord changes something, then it's out of our control

[maiden bloom]

Anyway, I came to say when I searched "textchannel" in docs.pycord.dev it gave me a cloudflare error but not anymore so nvm guess it was a glitch

[sage tendon]

unironically might have been me

[sage tendon]

3.x :>

[shell radish]

wouldn't that make it ironic?

[stoic patio]

discord bot cached_message attribute takes up memory right

[shell radish]

yes

[stoic patio]

good to know

no wonder why my bot memory just goes ⬆️

[mellow pebble]

well for the options in a slash command how to not make it compulsory, like let's say i have a emote cmd to wish good morning, how do i make it such that it can do it without adding a user as a parameter, it works with user apps but not in server where the bot is

    async def goodmorning(self, ctx: discord.ApplicationContext, user: discord.User = None):
        gif = await get_gif("anime_goodmorning")

        if user == None:
            embed = discord.Embed(
                title=f"{ctx.author.display_name} Wishes Goodmorning",
                color=0x2F3136,
            )

            embed.set_image(url=gif)
            await ctx.respond(embed=embed)

        if user != None:
            embed = discord.Embed(
                title=f"{ctx.author.display_name} Wished {user.display_name} A Goodmorning",
                color=0x2F3136,
            )

            embed.set_image(url=gif)
            await ctx.respond(embed=embed)

[torpid umbra]

i want to take a mp3 file as input from the user , how can I do that?

[rugged lodge]

Here's the slash options example.

[echo wraith]

See the last command of the example above, lmk if you have any questions about that

[torpid umbra]

will we have attachment (for my case a audio file) as file = await attachment.to_file()? Can I save it locally?

[little cobalt]

.rtfm discord.File

in this example , how should I save the audio file locally , I tried with File.fp , but it's output is only noise

[torpid umbra]

whenver I'm attaching a audio file it doesn't response

working fine with images

this is the code and I've a pretty decent internet

[sage tendon]

self.slash_command
what

[little cobalt]

lol

[torpid umbra]

self is reference to bot

I'm inheritingg it to create a client

[sage tendon]

You shouldn't get a 404 with that code

[torpid umbra]

class DiscordClient(Bot):

[sage tendon]

unless you take 15+ minutes to respond

also, your else will never be reached lol

[torpid umbra]

it reponse 404 in 15 secs 😅

[torpid umbra]

yep ik , update required to True, so yeah

[sage tendon]

required is true by default, you dont have to specify that btw

[torpid umbra]

first I want to make it work , optimisation can be done later

[sage tendon]

oh, i see now

i think
File "C:\Users\praff\PycharmProjects\AutomatedScreening\core\platforms\discord\client.py", line 127, in say
await ctx.respond("Here's your file!")

this is the issue, however that gets called when you run that command

unless im missing smth

what even is that file path

[sage tendon]

also, why?

[torpid umbra]

wanted to add few methods

[deft kestrel]

is it possible to map every command name and description?

[errant trout]

Wdym

Like, load them from a file or something?

[deft kestrel]

no
for example:

for command in bot.all_commands:
  print(command.name, command.description)

[errant trout]

Oh

Did that not already work for you?

[deft kestrel]

i am asking because when i printed bot.all_commands i didnt see description

[errant trout]

Uhh it'll still be on the command object

[sage tendon]

cant you use the walk_commands thing

[deft kestrel]

    @commands.slash_command(name = "test")
    async def test(self, ctx):
        for command in self.bot.walk_commands():
            print(command)

output:
help

[fresh sierra]

walk_application_commands

since ur using slash

[deft kestrel]

got it

[vital bramble]

What is the rate limit for channel creation in a guild? And what channel types are affected by this?

[sage tendon]

i only know channel renames, which is 1 rename per 10 minutes per channel
i think channel creation will have a relatively low ratelimit as well

id honestly just try to run into it deliberately but thats up to you lol

[errant trout]

honestly no clue, it just let me create 100 channels in 13 seconds

[sage tendon]

o.o

[errant trout]

(50 each on 2 bots)

[deft kestrel]

@bot.slash_command( contexts={discord.InteractionContextType.private_channel}, integration_types={discord.IntegrationType.user_install}, )
what if i want that command in a DM with a bot?

i mean what's the context name

[errant trout]

private_channel is correct

[deft kestrel]

not

[errant trout]

?

[deft kestrel]

i see only that but

[errant trout]

eh, bot_dm?

[sage tendon]

private_channel is correct

restart discord after changing anything like that about a command

Just realised it's kinda difficult to even get into a user app's DMs, like you have to use a command to do so

[dense summit]

Hey there, what's the limit of options in slash commands?

[little cobalt]

25

But why do you ask?

[dense summit]

I have a command that should rotate images by a specified number of degrees, so i want to know what's the limit of images i can pass in a slash command

[sage tendon]

wouldnt a single option that can handle a zip file be preferable

[dense summit]

Yeah, definitely i just wanted to avoid that the user has to create a zip file. But having 25 options is probably worst than the zip file

[sage tendon]

why do you want to rotate so many images

[dense summit]

Im working for someone else idk why the want something like that 🤷‍♂️

[vital bramble]

I just created a channel using an http api request and it gave me back the rate limit headers saying like 2000 left and reset in 3.5 hours. So I guess it's 2000 per few hours...
But maybe it's different for public bots. That was a bot that's just on my server.

[sage tendon]

holy shit

thats a lot

[vital bramble]

yeah, I guess bots that are in multiple guilds have lower limits...

[sage tendon]

no lol

[vital bramble]

hm...

well that's what it said for me xD

[sage tendon]

what
screenshot

[vital bramble]

oh so it's 2000/day

[sage tendon]

yea but nothing there says this lol

[vital bramble]

doesn't it?
I thought x-ratelimit-remaining says that?

or limit

[sage tendon]

thats.. how many channels you can still create

lol

[vital bramble]

yeah during 24 hours...

right?

[sage tendon]

yea

[vital bramble]

that's exactly what I was saying lol

[sage tendon]

you said bots in more guilds have smaller ratelimits

[vital bramble]

oh that was just an assumption...

oh I read your message wrong... thought you responded to the other.

[quartz umbra]

Hello. How can I create a private text channel, which only 1 role, and 2 members can view the channel? I think you use the overwrites argument in Guild.create_text_channel, but my question is how to get the @everyone role so i can set the view channel permission to null

does index 0 of guild.roles return this?

nvm found Guild.default_role

[echo wraith]

yeah that's it

What is @timid shuttle

[errant trout]

just a bot

[edgy nest]

application

[errant trout]

:9

[sacred gale]

I have a string I am using in an embed

self.buyer is interaction.user.id

but the output returns this instead of pinging someone with the @ like @sacred gale

how to make it ping someone

[rancid arrow]

Are you adding backticks

[fresh sierra]

just remove the test

`

[sacred gale]

?

oh its supposed to be f"Buyer: `<@{self.buyer}>`

[rancid arrow]

Remove the backticks

`

[sacred gale]

it works, thanks guys

[rancid arrow]

As a side note since it’s an an embed they won’t be notified

[sacred gale]

oh

thats fine

but is there any way to do it like this and ping them or no?

[rancid arrow]

No since it turns it into raw text

Joey come on

[sacred gale]

man

[rancid arrow]

I don’t think he recognized me

[sacred gale]

no no i did

kinda crazy we found each other here at this time

[rancid arrow]

No I’ve been here for ages I like looking at the questions for fun

[sacred gale]

someone give this man helper role

[little cobalt]

lol

[hazy turret]

Hello everyone!

What options do I have to embed a video on Discord so that another user cannot download it?
If I send the video directly to the channel, I can't disable the download of the video, can I?

[echo wraith]

Don't think so unfortunately

[vague plaza]

how can I send an album of images (or a mix of images and videos) in a single message?

[mossy violet]

You could create a list and then send the list using ctx.send?

[vague plaza]

is that something that works for sure or is that something youre suggesting to try

[mossy violet]

async def send_album(ctx)
  file_list = [
    discord.File("path/to/...")
    discord.File("path/to/...")
  ]

await ctx.send(content="message", files=file_list)```

I've not tested it personally, no, but i see nothing wrong with it?

[oblique sable]

did i type it incorrectly or?

[echo wraith]

discord.ApplicationContext

yes

[red mist]

I'm confused about your type hinting...

Yea

Internet not loading my messages

[oblique sable]

thanks

thats better

[red mist]

is your respond now yellow too? ;3

[echo wraith]

nice

[oblique sable]

should be good now

[red mist]

Huh I mean yeah but interesting that it's blue 😂

[hazy turret]

Okay that's really one thing that's missing from Discord...

[fresh sierra]

For application its in blue and bridge etc in yellow

[red mist]

I use application myself and it's yellow 💀

[sage tendon]

it depends on your theme...

[echo wraith]

Sorry for your eyes

[sage tendon]

bro

return as the last statement in a command is wild

[lofty parcel]

https://tenor.com/view/ash-baby-gif-7280845142657635823

Why white mode

[echo wraith]

White during the day and dark during the night...

[echo wraith]

I was drung probably

drunl

drunk

[sage tendon]

also idk about yall but i hate this style of

functioncall(
    args, kwargs, owo
)

it just looks weird imo

like at least for shorter calls

[echo wraith]

idk my formatter does it for me so I don't have to think

because thinking uses your brain

and using your brain makes your brain age

and so you die faster

[sage tendon]

black?

[echo wraith]

depends but most of the time it's black

[sage tendon]

depends?

also yea idk i just use the default whatever thingy, "reformat file" on save and thats it

[echo wraith]

Well some projects aren't mine

I cant always decide

and I try to use new things too so I change sometimes

[fresh sierra]

not only, function are usually yellow and using application context its blue, its like a property

[sage tendon]

it depends on your IDE theme.

nothing else.

[echo wraith]

yeah

[hazy turret]

Why does the whole thing not work although the file parameter is specified in the docs under create_thread?

video_file = await video.to_file()
thread = await channel.create_thread(name=title, content=message, file=video_file)

Error:

400 Bad Request (error code: 50008): Cannot send messages in a non-text channel```

[sage tendon]

your channel is not a text channel

[hazy turret]

I try to create the whole thing in a forum, a new thread with the Video in the first message

[sage tendon]

print the channel name first to ensure its correct

[hazy turret]

It is a discord.ForumChannel

[sage tendon]

well, then i dont know

[tidal vessel]

One question, does the bot attribute of the User object also work for other Bots? I want to check if a message is sent by a Bot

[sage tendon]

yes

[tidal vessel]

ok ty

i cant figure out why this error occurs, any ideas?

[fresh sierra]

Well in THE SAME theme, sometime the respond is yellow or blue according to the class :)

[sage tendon]

for me its always the same color

[fresh sierra]

For you

I was talking for me

[sage tendon]

what did you do since it last worked

[sage tendon]

so it doesnt create the thread at all? or does it throw the error below that

[fresh sierra]

can you show the pip list ?

[restive sundial]

I am trying to read the docs and I am confused, how do you actually create application commands?

[sage tendon]

# in a cog
@discord.slash_command()
async def name(...)

# without cogs
@bot.slash_command()
async def name(...)

[restive sundial]

AttributeError: 'Bot' object has no attribute 'slash_command'. Did you mean: 'add_command'?

[sage tendon]

show your code

[restive sundial]

too big for discord message so I am sending the file

[sage tendon]

show your pip list

i think you have discord.py installed

also whats that class from lol, and why

[restive sundial]

oh

I installed pycord

and not py-cord

[sage tendon]

yea, you still have discord.py though

because the import worked

[sage tendon]

why are you using a git version and not 2.6

[haughty grove]

cus i was testing out user apps

and forgot to change it back

but yeah i will use 2.6

i still have the problem tho

[errant trout]

def load_module(module_name):
    module = __import__(module_name, fromlist=[''])
    loaded_modules.append({'name': module_name.split('.')[-1], 'help_text': module.help_text})
    module.setup(bot)

# Load all modules
module_dir = 'modules'
for filename in os.listdir(module_dir):
    if filename.endswith('.py'):
        module_name = filename[:-3]
        load_module(f'{module_dir}.{module_name}')
```are these meant to be cogs?

[sage tendon]

you didnt just reinstall py-cord @ 2.6 in about .5 seconds

[haughty grove]

i said i already tested it before

[sage tendon]

i'm pretty sure it's discord.py code / discord.py install

test it again

if it's magically solved now we'd be poking at nothing

[errant trout]

the version is completely unrelated

they have some weird module loading that isn't relevant to this library

[restive sundial]

I get no errors, the cog loads but unlike the help command from the main file this command doesn't register

import discord
from discord.ext import commands
import aiohttp
import os

help_text = """

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

[sage tendon]

nelo i think you're mixing the 2 people up rn

[restive sundial]

what could be the issue here

[errant trout]

oh that's whack

[sage tendon]

restart discord

also... you dont have to download the entire file just to upload it again lol

[restive sundial]

that code was originally supposed to work with disnake so I had to work around an error it spat, but it doesn't have application commands

[sage tendon]

also whats the point of not giving people image perms if you're gonna give them a bot to send images

[restive sundial]

also still can't use it everywhere, did I miss something crucial?

[sage tendon]

okay first of all, what do you mean "everywhere"

[errant trout]

...disnake does have application commands

[restive sundial]

like an app

[sage tendon]

all bots are apps

[restive sundial]

when you add it you can use the commands everywhere exernal apps are allowed

[errant trout]

user apps? you never set a context

[rugged lodge]

Here's the slash users example.

[sage tendon]

thats a user app
and you need to make your bot user installable and install it on your account

its on by default for new bots though

Also I'm not quite sure right now but if you lack permission to send images, can you actually bypass that like that?

[errant trout]

like what

[sage tendon]

like they did

with a user app command

[errant trout]

no clue, but typically Attachment option doesn't work without channel permissions

[sage tendon]

My guess is it'd be forced to be ephemeral

[fresh sierra]

To send message without perm with a bot u can pass them inside an embed if it’s picture

[sage tendon]

lets try

You can already abandon that command again :)

[haughty grove]

cannot really remember, do you maybe know what could cause this? i could also revert files 1 by 1 and then check whats causing this but it would be some afford..

[sage tendon]

do you still run into the same issue on 2.6?

[restive sundial]

same thing for embeds

well, no free image perms for me

[sage tendon]

i mean which server doesnt have image perms

but "use external app" perms

[hazy turret]

The thread is not even created and I get the error message

[sage tendon]

ah
yea then i truly dont know

[ebon swift]

does anyone have a link to an exemple/in the doc of how I could make a slash command that will display a color picker so my user can choose a color ?

[sage tendon]

doesnt exist

you'll have to make that some other way, usually you just give them color choices that have the actual hex codes as values

[ebon swift]

or I could make them input the hex color directly 🤔

thank you

[sage tendon]

well, yea lol

but thats not really a color picker then

[ebon swift]

you're right but the most important thing for me is that my user can input precise colors

[sage tendon]

yea i'm not sure right now but i think if you put discord.Color as input type it should convert the hex color to a discord.Color
but i dont do stuff with color often, could be wrong

[ebon swift]

thank you I'll see

[loud kayak]

Haven't used Pycord or VS Code in a while, why am I getting this IDE error?

[sage tendon]

pylance is sensitive

and you should use the decorator because that way is.. messy

[loud kayak]

its how ive always done it and seems clean to me

do i just ignore the ide warning?

[shell radish]

you can make pylance ignore those warnings with some setting thing

[sage tendon]

convert one command to use decorators
trust me

[loud kayak]

idk how

[sage tendon]

also do you not put descriptions or anything lol

[loud kayak]

never used the decorator side of things besides making commands and checks

[sage tendon]

its the exact same args

[loud kayak]

i do its just cropped

[sage tendon]

name, type are positionals

but no description :)

[sage tendon]

with this in particular, you could literally leave discord.Option away entirely and have the same result

here, an example command of mine with quite a few options

but yea the reason you get that warning is that i think it's not really intended to use function calls in place of typehints
i mean it works yes but its kinda hacky i think

[sage tendon]

also reading this text... choices can be attachments?

gotta test that tomorrow

[loud kayak]

news to me

[sage tendon]

very much same

big if true

[red mist]

Well yes but there's default settings

[quartz umbra]

How can I set the thumbnail of an embed to a local file? Btw, this is in a cog. This is my project structure:

8 directories, 40 files

[shell radish]

mmm minecraft

[sly karma]

f = discord.File("some_file_path", filename="image.png")
e = discord.Embed()
e.set_image(url="attachment://image.png")
await messagable.send(file=f, embed=e)```

[shell radish]

where (what file/cog) are you trying to add the file to the embed

[quartz umbra]

the ticketing_cog.py I'm tryna call, and one of those .png files I'm tryna attach

|| Sorry, I got timed out, I didn't know subtexts weren't allowed, my bad, sorry ||

[errant trout]

as long as you don't start the path with a /, it'll act relative to your bot's main file

so e.g. use assets/crystal_icon.png with the example the bot shows above

[quartz umbra]

alright, so i do that, and use embed.set_thumbnail?

[errant trout]

mhm

[quartz umbra]

alright, lemme give that a shot, thanks

[sage tendon]

wait can you do chaining with embed stuff? like .set_image().set...

[errant trout]

yeah

embeds and polls, someone also requested it for views so maybe it can slip into 2.7

[sage tendon]

neat

but python doesn't support it if you do it in new lines right

[errant trout]

it works with brackets

[sage tendon]

like I saw in some java code

this.that()
.andthat()
.andthose()

[errant trout]

not as neat as other languages, but it's possible
