Basic Pycord Help

[sage tendon]

like this would be cool

I started with js when making discord bots and js has that

example?

[errant trout]

embed = (
  discord.Embed(title="wow")
  .set_image(url="...")
  .set_footer(text="...")
)```

[sage tendon]

oh neat

[quartz umbra]

thanks, it works great!

[errant trout]

allgood

[unkempt cipher]

And I love automod

[haughty grove]

yes

it works fine if delete_existing is True tho

[quartz umbra]

well, in my defense, 1 command to install and it uses cool unicide ¯_(ツ)_/¯

[jagged ledge]

Hi, all! Weird question:

• Given the ID of a thread, what's the best way to determine the sent date of the latest message in it?

[lofty parcel]

Get the thread, then its history with limit=1 and oldest_first=False

https://docs.pycord.dev/en/master/api/models.html#discord.Thread.history

[jagged ledge]

Oh, that's class. Thanks much!

And to retrieve a thread object based on the string ID - what would I use?

[lofty parcel]

https://docs.pycord.dev/en/master/api/models.html#discord.Guild.get_thread

[jagged ledge]

Magnifique

[errant trout]

Uhhh btw every channel/thread has a last_message_id attribute

So you can just pass it into discord.Object and get created_at

(There's also last_message, but it's cache reliant)

[hazy turret]

On Discord it is not possible to prevent the user from downloading a video. Is there a way to track when a user downloads a video?
Or do you have any suggestions on how I can embed a video on Discord without a user being able to download the video but still watch it?

[little cobalt]

Embed is only gif and image

[hazy turret]

Do you have any ideas on how I could best implement this?

[sage tendon]

You can't

your only shot is finding a video hosting site that does this, and even that is trivial to bypass

why are you even trying to stop them from downloading them

[hazy turret]

Because it is a video course that the users should not distribute as money is paid for it. But unfortunately you can't really prevent that except by telling people that it's forbidden and adding watermarks to the videos 🙄

[sage tendon]

ever heard of patreon

or idk any other paid content lock service

[echo wraith]

Vimeo is quite hard to download from if you disable downloads

I know it cuz I spent time hacking it

and it wasn't easy

[hazy turret]

Okay, but you can't embed Vimeo in Discord like you can with YouTube, right?
I can only insert the link and the user has to click on it to be redirected to Vimeo, right?

[echo wraith]

Don't believe so yeah

[sage tendon]

I don't see any reason why you'd ever wanna watch a video in discord

just link it

people have browsers for a reason

[hazy turret]

Okay okay thanks 😄

[echo wraith]

Can you have sub sub command groups

ie

/test group1 group2 help

[sage tendon]

no

there is no way you ever need that

[viscid depot]

Do we have functions to easily manage emojis that have been uploaded directly on our bot?

[sage tendon]

manage how?

[viscid depot]

Get a list, covert an emote name to an emote id, and things like that.

[sage tendon]

Well, it came out after 2.6 released, so its certainly not in pycord yet

if you dont have like 400 emojis you can just put it into a class or something in an emoji.py file and map the names to their pasteable strings you can get from the developer website

thats what id do anyway

[lean garnet]

Hi, How do I make an option that accept only categories ?

please

[sage tendon]

channel_types=[discord.ChannelType.category]

you dont need required=True btw

or the slashcommandoptiontype might work there too

and also, type is the second positional argument, so you can just remove the type= and save some space lol

[lean garnet]

like that ? I still have the channels that appear

because of that maybe ?

[sage tendon]

no, the typehint in the function header is ignored if you use the decorator

make sure to restart discord

[viscid depot]

I see. I'll make a list then. Thanks for the reply!

[sage tendon]

btw, @lean garnet, i think if you pass channel_types the input type is ignored completely so you can also completely delete it

[lean garnet]

Okay thank you. The issue with the channels is resolved

[sage tendon]

np

[red mist]

Even then they can still screen record it.

You're trying to prevent piracy but- we all know that's not possible :)

[quartz umbra]

Anyone know why this command ain't loading?

from discord.ext import commands
import discord
from helpers import config_helper, firebase_helper


class TesterManagement(commands.Cog):
    def __init__(self, bot) -> None:
        super().__init__()
        self.bot = bot

    @commands.slash_command(description="test")
    async def list_test(self, ctx, list_test: int):
        await ctx.respond(str(list_test))


def setup(bot):  # this is called by Pycord to setup the cog
    bot.add_cog(TesterManagement(bot))  # add the cog to the bot

I don't see it appear in the list, I think I've added the cog correctly, just can't see the issue:```py
cogs_list = [
"config_cog",
"info_cog",
"ranks_cog",
"stats_cog",
"ticketing_cog",
"tester_cog",
]

for cog in cogs_list:
bot.load_extension(f"cogs.{cog}")

bot.run(TOKEN)

[little cobalt]

are the cogs in a folder?

[quartz umbra]

yea should I show my project directory?

[little cobalt]

mhm

did you refresh discord

after you run the bot

[quartz umbra]

which keybind is that again?

[sage tendon]

why do you have an __init__ in your cogs folder

[sage tendon]

ctrl+r or just restart it

[valid panther]

cogs.config_cog

[quartz umbra]

what about it?

[valid panther]

my structure is src | commands | boss > owner.py

'src.commands.boss.owner'

[sage tendon]

theirs isn't

[quartz umbra]

so i added the guild_ids param and its loaded now, maybe I didn't give discord enough time to register the command? Someone told me it takes less than like 2 minutes on 2 servers (I've waited at least 10 i'd say)

[sage tendon]

its close to instant

never takes more than 1-2 seconds for me

[valid panther]

cache

[quartz umbra]

yeah, same here.

[valid panther]

close and open

[sage tendon]

we already went over that

[quartz umbra]

prolly smth like that

[sage tendon]

you need to restart discord

[quartz umbra]

so anyways, i did have another question, if I can ask:
What's the best way to take a list as an argument? Not a mutable sized list, but just a fixed size. Is having an option for each element the only option?

[sage tendon]

i use | in my own personal bot to make one option take multiple things

just seperate the things by | when typing the option, and handle it in your code

(thats kinda ugly and i wouldnt do that for a public bot tho)

apart from that, yea, you can only really do multiple options

[valid panther]

A question guys.

I'm using the @discord.default_permissions(ban_members=True) decorator so that users who don't have ban permissions can't execute commands. But is there a special decorator for when the bot has not been given the necessary permissions?

[quartz umbra]

interesting. Cuz my particlar issue is sort of like a "check the options that apply to you" issue. Atm, i was thinking just bools for each possible option, but i was wondering if anyone had any cleaner solutions

[sage tendon]

thats just an exception you need to handle

[errant trout]

ext.commands.bot_has_permissions

[sage tendon]

oh

[valid panther]

yep

[sage tendon]

and what does that do

[errant trout]

(this will raise CheckFailure, it's not a discord sided thing)

specifically, BotMissingPermissions

[sage tendon]

yea i just thought of the good old
try:
ban()
except ...:
ctx.respond("No")

[valid panther]

thxx

[sage tendon]

could also write a global error handler that handles that, so you dont have to duplicate that everywhere

does commands.CommandNotFound apply to slash commands?

[little cobalt]

no

[sage tendon]

what about commands.MemberNotFound

[little cobalt]

that should work

[sage tendon]

probably if you pass a random user ID

how tf does this shadow any variable?

the class has nothing called "member"

okay.. apparently the for member in members BELOW was the problem

[errant trout]

we have a functional draft PR if you wish to install
https://github.com/Pycord-Development/pycord/pull/2501
pip install -U git+https://github.com/Pycord-Development/pycord.git@refs/pull/2501/merge
Main Client additions:

• app_emojis
• create_emoji(name, image)
• fetch_emojis()
  • set cache_app_emojis=True in Client to automatically fetch on startup. There are no events, so any updates from the developer dashboard will require another fetch.
• fetch_emoji(id)
  New class AppEmoji
  Everything STC.

[stoic patio]

does the on_disconnect event get fired if my bot gets auto-disconnected because of this

[errant trout]

yes

[little cobalt]

keep in mind that you overwrite the slash commands sync with it

[echo wraith]

Is there an even listener or a method to override that would allow me to run some code EVERY time a command is run, including application bridge and prefix commands

[errant trout]

there's a few

on_command, on_application_command, and on_bridge_command all fire BEFORE the command runs.

if you want after, then add _completion to the end

(note that on_bridge_command fires ALONGSIDE the other two listeners - make sure you're not doubling events)

[hollow plank]

I do the following command message.poll.duration for polls, but it only returns None and not the poll duration?

[errant trout]

it's because duration is only used during the poll creation

you should use expiry instead

[hollow plank]

oh, ok thank you

[echo wraith]

Thanks

[vague plaza]

what's the limit of characters a bot can send in a message?

[little cobalt]

4k

keep in mind that a space is also a character

[rough heron]

import discord
import asyncio
from discord.commands import option, Option
from discord.ext import commands
from datetime import datetime, timezone, timedelta
import re

intents = discord.Intents.default()
intents.message_content = True
intents.messages = True
intents.members = True

bot = discord.Bot(intents=intents)

@bot.event
async def on_message_edit(before, after):
    print("Author id " + str(after.author))
    print("Message id " + str(after.id))
    if after.author.id == 713484585874227220:
        print(after.channel.id)
        if after.channel.id == 935343526626078850:
            await process_voyage_data(after)

Question. I've got the following code. My bot seems unable to sense message edits from anyone in one, specific channel... except for a bot (carlbot).

Every other channel it senses fine for everyone, and it has administrator, and I can clearly see it on the sidebar for that channel, so I'm confused on why it wouldn't be sensing the message for users in that channel.

[little cobalt]

how did you define the bot?

[rough heron]

Edited. (sorry for left ping on)

Edit: Somehow it's started to work after I added a third print statement (for who knows what reason), thank you for the response though.

[valid panther]

Would the use of bot permissions be like this?

from discord.ext.commands import bot_has_permissions

@bot_has_permissions(ban_members=True, kick_members=True, manage_roles=True)
    @discord.slash_command(name="user", description="🔍❯ Displays a member's information")
    async def user(self, ctx, user: Option(discord.Member, description="Information", required=True)):

[errant trout]

command decorator is ALWAYS first, but yes

[rough heron]

Sorry, second question. The bot is... I think it's only sensing messages that were created AFTER the bot was restarted, and only those messages if they were edited. Thoughts?

[errant trout]

if the bot doesn't have all of these permissions, BotMissingPermissions will be raised - handle this in on_application_command_error

[errant trout]

on_message_edit relies on cache, which is empty when the bot restarts

[rough heron]

Okay, whats the best method to sense all messages edited?

[errant trout]

you probably want on_raw_message_edit instead, but note you may have to fetch messages on request

[rough heron]

I'll look into it. Thank you.

[errant trout]

(please read the docs on that)

[hybrid fossil]

Hi there!
I'm having trouble pinpointing the error even with explanations from Chat GPT or rereading the code.
Could you explain it to me in a few words?

Traceback (most recent call last):

i doubt user_id is 00000000

keyerror means a key you're trying to access doesnt exist usually

[errant trout]

what's the code causing this

[errant trout]

and when exactly does the error happen

[sage tendon]

that is GPT generated code if i ever saw it

[errant trout]

(yeah)

the fuckin try-except empty response???

voice???

[sage tendon]

no mostly just

# Very descriptive comment
code that does exactly whats described

for every block of code

[hybrid fossil]

This is code I made myself, but I asked chat gpt to redo the form of the code.

[errant trout]

oh yeah, i just thought those two in particular was very funny

is it when you submit the modal

[hybrid fossil]

it's just a test, I'll redo my modal

[errant trout]

wtv works, but again i'm asking about the error...

[hybrid fossil]

I feel more like I'm being judged on my code rather than getting help, it's a pleasure...

So...

[sage tendon]

then answer the question

[errant trout]

i am TRYING to help, but literally can't if i don't know where it fails

[hybrid fossil]

Just a moment, I'm trying to apologize for using chat GPT to correct my error.

So, this error only appears when arriving at handle_valid_steam_id() after passing another handle.

For example:
handle_profile_not_found() -> Change steam ID -> handle_valid_steam_id() = Error

handle_valid_steam_id() -> Change steam ID -> handle_profile_not_found() = No error

    async def handle_valid_steam_id(self, embed, steam_id, steam_name, creation_date, time_dayz, interaction):
        # Update embed fields and play success sound for valid Steam ID
        self.update_embed_fields(embed, steam_id, status="✅ Trouvable", visibility="✅ Public", steam_name=steam_name, creation_date=creation_date, dayz_time=f"✅ {time_dayz:.0f} heures")
        await interaction.message.edit(embed=embed)
        if not self.user_whitelist.dev:
            await serviceVoice.voice_say(self.user_whitelist.voice_state, "./addons/DSTP_Whitelist/sounds/step04_steamid/success.mp3")
        else:
            await serviceVoice.voice_say(self.user_whitelist.voice_state, "./addons/DSTP_Whitelist/sounds/soundBeep.mp3")

    async def handle_no_dayz_game(self, embed, steam_id, steam_name, creation_date, interaction):
        # Update embed fields and play error sound if user does not own DayZ
        self.update_embed_fields(embed, steam_id, status="✅ Trouvable", visibility="✅ Public", steam_name=steam_name, creation_date=creation_date, dayz_time="❌ Non possédé")
        await interaction.message.edit(embed=embed)
        if not self.user_whitelist.dev:
            await serviceVoice.voice_say(self.user_whitelist.voice_state, "./addons/DSTP_Whitelist/sounds/step04_steamid/error_has_game.mp3")
        else:
            await serviceVoice.voice_say(self.user_whitelist.voice_state, "./addons/DSTP_Whitelist/sounds/soundBeep.mp3")

The problem is that, for the moment, the code remains exactly the same for both functions.

So I asked chat GPT to rewrite the code for me to check whether I'd made a mistake in the way I handled functions or the sending of audio messages.

[errant trout]

could you perhaps try changing the first block py try: await interaction.response.send_message() except discord.HTTPException: passto a simple await interaction.response.defer()

and then, replace all interaction.message.edit to just interaction.edit

[hybrid fossil]

That's chat gpt I don't use that. Forget that part of the code, it's just AI bullshit.

[errant trout]

so that's not in the actual code?

(it's probably worth deferring anyway)

[hybrid fossil]

I'll film you how it works for a moment.

This problem also occurs when I use voice messages. If I play a short beep I don't have the problem.
So it's probably related to the audio. What I don't understand is that I turn it off at the beginning to avoid any problems.

[errant trout]

ohhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh

[errant trout]

can you show how the modal is sent in the first place?

(also to be clear, you can completely ignore the error with no side-effects, but it would be good to deal with)

[hybrid fossil]

I didn't quite understand, it's only sent by the button.

[errant trout]

right, so can you show the code used there

[hybrid fossil]

class SteamID(discord.ui.Button):
    def __init__(self, user_whitelist):

        super().__init__(
            label="SteamID 64",
            style=discord.ButtonStyle.blurple,
            custom_id="steamID64Button"
        )

        self.user_whitelist = user_whitelist
        self.modal = modalSteamID.SteamID64(self.user_whitelist, "SteamID 64")

    async def callback(self, interaction: discord.Interaction):
        await interaction.response.send_modal(self.modal)
        await self.modal.wait()

[errant trout]

it's because you're reusing the same modal object

instead, define modal inside callback

(in retrospect this is a silly error, but it's how you would get rid of it)

[hybrid fossil]

Let's see if it works.

Great, it works!
I'm still struggling with these little details!
I tested the defer and it also works perfectly, I used it for commands but I didn't know it existed for modals.
I'd go to bed less stupid.

Thanks for your help

[errant trout]

allgood

[viscid depot]

Thanks! When it will be released?

[errant trout]

On master it shouldn't be toooo long? But 2.7 idk when it'll be out

[red mist]

Doesn't matter their cog list doesn't load the init file

Aaaaand discord chat only now updated again

Fkin shite

[errant trout]

:3

[jagged ledge]

How do I override on_error? Like, for every command in a bot. I have a custom Exception type which I'd like the bot to print to the console and ignore.

[errant trout]

there's global on_command_error for prefix and on_application_command_error for slash

[jagged ledge]

Cool beans! What code do I need to write in the main file to override it?

[errant trout]

if you've subclassed bot, you can just define it inside that

otherwise, use the @bot.event decorator

[jagged ledge]

Ah. I have not subclassed bot. Is it as simple as @bot.event(on_application_command_error)? And do I only need to speciy it once?

[errant trout]

no brackets, you name the function

and that will cover every error inside an application command

[jagged ledge]

Just individual commands, though? So I'd need to subclass bot if I wanted to write a one-and-done for all of them?

[errant trout]

i think you misunderstand... as i've described, @bot.error will override the default event handler

[jagged ledge]

...Oh! Could you show me a rudimentary example?

[errant trout]

https://github.com/Pycord-Development/pycord/blob/master/examples/cooldown.py#L65 demonstrates it

[jagged ledge]

Lemme read

[stoic patio]

do those automatic reconnects from discord fire the on_ready event

[errant trout]

maybe we need a dedicated error handling example

[jagged ledge]

Oh! This is just what I need! Thank you, @errant trout!

[errant trout]

allgood

[errant trout]

it's possible

[stoic patio]

so it doesn't always happen?

[errant trout]

it generally shouldn't, but there are some cases where it has

i think it's higher chance after major disconnects, but discord's own behavior on the event is a bit finicky

[stoic patio]

is that for the on_resumed event

[errant trout]

you could prevent it from triggering multiple times by setting once=True

[stoic patio]

i actually need it to trigger multiple times

[errant trout]

resumed and ready are indeed different, where resumed is the one that's meant to fire multiple times, but it is also possible for ready

on_resumed i think would be more reliable?

[stoic patio]

so when a bot receives those reconnect things and reconnects, the on_resumed event is the one that always fires, right?

[errant trout]

it should, yes. We have very little processing related to it, but discord describes it as such

Used to replay missed events when a disconnected client resumes.

[stoic patio]

where does the "Used to replay missed events when a disconnected client resumes." description come from

[errant trout]

https://discord.com/developers/docs/topics/gateway-events#resume

[stoic patio]

why is it called "replaying"

[errant trout]

if your bot misses events, it can still receive them after resuming

(probably)

https://discord.com/developers/docs/topics/gateway#resuming

[stoic patio]

interesting

cuz i run a db connection thingy whenever the thing goes live

I may be a doofus.

I made a custom Exception (superclass Exception) which the new method doesn't seem to be catching. It just says this:
discord.errors.ApplicationCommandInvokeError

class PreconditionError(Exception):
    def __init__(self, message):
        super().__init__(message)


async def assertOrSay(cond, msg, ctx, ephemeral=False):
    if not cond:
        await ctx.respond(msg, ephemeral=ephemeral)
        raise PreconditionError(msg)
``````py
# The objective
@bot.event
async def on_application_command_error(
    ctx: discord.ApplicationContext, error: Exception
):
    if isinstance(error, PreconditionError):
        pass
    else:
        raise error

[errant trout]

ok so, funny quirk about that one

if it's of type ApplicationCommandInvokeError, re-run the error handler with error.original

[jagged ledge]

@bot.event
async def on_application_command_error(
    ctx: discord.ApplicationContext, error: Exception
):             #       vvvvvvvvv   This worked!
    if isinstance(error.original, PreconditionError):
        pass
    else:
        raise error

Thank you!

[errant trout]

allgood

though uh, note that that will break for other exceptions

because original only exists on ApplicationCommandInvokeError

(and CommandInvokeError i guess)

[warm linden]

for modals is there a way i can choose a custom character limit or no?

[shell radish]

yes https://docs.pycord.dev/en/master/api/ui_kit.html#discord.ui.InputText.max_length

[warm linden]

appreciate it

[valid panther]

class TeamNameModal(discord.ui.Modal):
    def __init__(self, *args, **kwargs):
        super().__init__(title="Enter Team Name", *args, **kwargs)
        self.opponent_name = None
        self.add_item(discord.ui.InputText(label="Team Name", placeholder="Type the name of your team here"))

    async def callback(self, interaction: discord.Interaction):
        self.opponent_name = self.children[0].value
        await interaction.response.send_message(f"Match accepted, you are now in the second team: `{self.opponent_name}`",
                                                ephemeral=True, delete_after=60)
        self.stop()

I'm making a modal that the idea is to return the opponent_name

await interaction.response.send_modal(modal)
await modal.wait()
opponent_name = modal.opponent_name

If I do not return a text message in the modal, the popup does not close correctly, but if I set it, it closes correctly. Is this the only way to close the popup?

Good morning by the way!

[fresh sierra]

Modal is a class not an instance so it will not overwrite it in the self

You can try to pass it as a class variable so not inside the init but upper

class… :
oppenent_name = None
Def init () :

[valid panther]

I understand that your idea would be to do something similar to this, right?

class TeamNameModal(discord.ui.Modal):
    opponent_name = None

    def __init__(self, *args, **kwargs):
        super().__init__(title="Enter Team Name", *args, **kwargs)
        self.add_item(discord.ui.InputText(label="Team Name", placeholder="Type the name of your team here"))

    async def callback(self, interaction: discord.Interaction):
        TeamNameModal.opponent_name = self.children[0].value
        self.stop()

[fresh sierra]

Yep something like so

[valid panther]

I still have the same problem :/

There is something about the modal that I am not understanding

[fresh sierra]

Show me how you get it

You should do … = TeamModal.opponent_name

[valid panther]

    
async def accept_match(self, interaction: discord.Interaction):
        modal = TeamNameModal()
        await interaction.response.send_modal(modal)
        await modal.wait()

        # ----------------- CODE -----------
        return modal.opponent_name

[fresh sierra]

Here you are using the instance to retrieve the opponent name and not the class

Because modal is the class initialized, you should do return TeamNameModal.opponent_name

Without initializing the class

[valid panther]

    
async def accept_match(self, interaction: discord.Interaction):
        modal = TeamNameModal()
        await interaction.response.send_modal(modal)
        await modal.wait()

        # ----------------- CODE -----------
        return  TeamNameModal.opponent_name

[fresh sierra]

Yeah like so since it’s a class variable

Did it work @valid panther ?

[valid panther]

yes

In the end I solved it with await interaction.response.defer()

[fresh sierra]

Defer has nothing to do with class variable as long as I know

But if it works it works

[valid panther]

on_error is ONLY for events

[little cobalt]

isnt that enough? command_error and events

you could add some try and except to other stuff

[errant trout]

well, my point being that they asked for an event that's raised for any error on the bot - such an event doesn't exist

[little cobalt]

so you really have to use try and except?

[weary meteor]

how do i send a modal?

[rugged lodge]

Here's the modal dialogs example.

[little cobalt]

@weary meteor

[weary meteor]

ah, why is that not under the views directory 😭

[little cobalt]

because its not at a view

https://guide.pycord.dev/category/ui-components @weary meteor

use this instead

[warm linden]

hey i'm trying to create a "modlogs" command say a user banned through but the ban was initiated through another bot is a there a way i can still find out who the user was?

[sage tendon]

events

[echo wraith]

Short answer be like

[lofty parcel]

short answer be

[sage tendon]

why waste time say lot word when few word do trick

[ebon swift]

is it normal to be able to call that has the has_role check even if the user doesn't have the role ?

[sage tendon]

show your code

and ideally, you dont use these decorators for slash commands
just set up permissions inside your server settings

also has the added upside of not being visible to anyone else

and if you wanna tie it to a specific permission, there's a decorator specifically for that

[ebon swift]

 @commands.slash_command(name="set_color", description="Set your color.", guild_ids=[1265373509455057006])
    @commands.has_role(rolename)
    @discord.option(name="color", description="The color you want to set.", type=discord.Color)
    async def set_color(self, ctx, color: discord.Color):
        guild = ctx.guild
        member = ctx.author
        role = discord.utils.get(guild.roles)
        await ctx.send(f"Setting color for {member.display_name} to {color}")
        self.bot.logger.debug(f"Setting color for {member.display_name} to {color}")

Ignoring exception in command set_color:

[sage tendon]

well i mean it works exactly as it should

[ebon swift]

can't I make it so the 'non role' user can't even try/see to run the command ?

[sage tendon]

.

[sage tendon]

.

[sage tendon]

.

[ebon swift]

thing is I don't want it to be tied to a specific permission but to a role, the members of this role can do the command the others can't see it ? or at least maybe try to catch the error and show 'you have to be {rolename} to do that. has permission would not make me able to do so

[sage tendon]

:)

[ebon swift]

didn't knew you could do that

[sage tendon]

server settings > integrations

[ebon swift]

okay thank you very much for your help , also can I catch the error inside the function to send a message like admin should check up on integration permission, you shouldn't be able to see this ? feels off to have the bot just sending 'application doesn't respond'

[sage tendon]

you can write a global error handler for the exception that the role check throws here

@discord.Cogs.listener()
async def on_application_command_error(self, ctx, error):
    if isinstance(error, discord.MissingRole):
        await ctx.respond..

[ebon swift]

thank you !

[warm linden]

can someone help me make my bot ban users not in the server?

if member: 
  await interaction.guild.ban(member, reason=f"...")
  banned_users.append(user_id)
else:
  user = await interaction.client.fetch_user(user_id)
  await interaction.guild.ban(discord.Object(id=user), reason=f"...")
  failed_bans.append(user_id)

[errant trout]

you don't need discord.Object

you already fetched the user

(or if you don't want to fetch, just do discord.Object(user_id))

also in the first part you can just do member.ban, assuming you got them in the correct guild

[warm linden]

thanks

[warm linden]

like this?

        user = await interaction.client.fetch_user(user_id)
               await interaction.guild.ban(discord.Object(user), reason=f"...")

[errant trout]

no...

you do one or the other - EITHER fetch user and do ban(user), or DON'T fetch the user and do ban(discord.Object(user_id))

[warm linden]

ohhh

lemme try that now

ty

[valid panther]

Good afternoon, sorry for the inconvenience.

I'm making an embed, with an image

base64_image = img_generator.generate_image()
embed = discord.Embed(title="TEST", color=settings.embed_color)
embed.set_image(url=f"data:image/png;base64,{base64_image}")
await ctx.respond(embed=embed)

 (<class 'discord.errors.ApplicationCommandInvokeError'>, ApplicationCommandInvokeError('Application Command raised an exception: HTTPException: 400 Bad Request (error code: 50035): Invalid Form Body\nIn data.embeds.0.image.url: Must be 2048 or fewer in length. Not a well formed URL.'), <traceback object at 0x0000018CF1CF0200>) 

the set_image does not accept base64 ?

[sage tendon]

"url"

[little cobalt]

lol

[sage tendon]

what you put there isn't a url

[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)```

[valid panther]

And how do you recommend I do it?

[sage tendon]

pass a url or do it like above.

[valid panther]

instead of passing it as base64, create the image and then pass it the path to the file

I understand

[stoic patio]

is it possible to clear a discord bot's message cache

[fresh sierra]

Yes

[rugged lodge]

Searched in pycord

discord.Client.cached_messages

[fresh sierra]

Put that to []

[errant trout]

Not quite

It's bot._connection._messages.clear()

[stoic patio]

i don't see "_connection" as a bot attribute

[errant trout]

In docs? Because it's not documented

That goes for any var starting with _

(Probably)

[stoic patio]

i see

[stoic patio]

i get AttributeError: 'NoneType' object has no attribute 'clear' from this

[errant trout]

Then you don't have a message cache

[stoic patio]

i see

i'm stupid LOL

[little cobalt]

that is why you dont disable the cache

[stoic patio]

lol

[little cobalt]

you also cannot use get_x anymore

[noble flax]

Can I get some eyes on my code please, I'm building another version of a previous bot I created, however for the life of me when I run the bot I can't get ANY slash commands to appear? I've gone through the code line by line vs my old bot and I just don't seem to be able to spot why the slashcommands aren't showing 😦

I've been looking at it for days now and accepted defeat, need some help - obviously I'm using py-cord otherwise I wouldn't be here 😄

[sage tendon]

did you try restarting discord?

[noble flax]

Had several PC reboots since then 🙂

[sage tendon]

then show your code

[noble flax]

It's not a "keep restarting" your bot in debug error

its just never started, period.

so the slash commands are within a cog

I can confirm the cog is loaded via the log file

[sage tendon]

..what never started

[noble flax]

sorry bad terminology, the bot starts however the slashcommand in question isn't recognised.

Nope. Cogs have to be loaded before the bot starts, and ive never heard of setup_hook

[noble flax]

shit just realised, could it be the intents?

[noble flax]

it's just me putting the code loading into a function

[sage tendon]

just do bot.load_extensions("cogs") right before bot.run

[noble flax]

and I do an await in on_ready to run set_hooks

[sage tendon]

yea but you are loading the cogs too late

[sage tendon]

that is too late

[noble flax]

ah ok

Copy that, will change now

of course On_Ready is the END of the process of loading

[sage tendon]

it works for prefix commands because they essentially just use on_message, but slash commands are only synced once during startup, and if there's no slash command currently loaded, it never syncs to discord

[little cobalt]

slash commands get synced at the on_connect event

[sage tendon]

which appens during startup
:3

[noble flax]

Thank you so much

Restarted discord and away I go.

[sage tendon]

np

[noble flax]

To be honest my startup process is different to my v1, I never bothered with putting it on "on_ready" I originally did just a function

    intents = discord.Intents.default()
    intents.message_content = True
    bot = discord.Bot(intents=intents)
    dotenv.load_dotenv()

    cogs_list = ['maintenance', 'waryes', 'warno', 'match']
    for cog in cogs_list:
        bot.load_extension(f'cogs.{cog}')
    return bot

logger = setup_logging()
bot = setup_bot()```

and then bot.run

never occured to me the issue was that

Lesson learn't about how the cogs/extensions load though.

[sage tendon]

my startup is

bot.load_extensions("cogs")
bot.run(config.token)

[noble flax]

Every day is a school day

[sage tendon]

thats it

some people have like 30 lines just to start their bot and im like why

[noble flax]

if you do "cogs" will it just load all the cogs in the directory?

[sage tendon]

yes

im not sure how it works if you have foreign / non-cog files, but i dont have that

can also load them in subfolders with that

[noble flax]

Thank you once again, been a stumbling block for a while that has.

should of came here earlier, just figured I'd try and work it out myself.

[little cobalt]

Im at 30 lines

because of the twitch bot

[sage tendon]

yea well that doesnt count lol

i forgor, does python have syntax to do like

object.do_this()
    .and_this()
    .and_this()
    .and_this()

[echo wraith]

the method has to return self

to allow chained calls

[sage tendon]

yea i know that

but multi-line chaining?

[shell radish]

yeah. People can do that with embed creation

[vital bramble]

Are role mentions disabled by default for followup messages?

[shell radish]

yes

[vital bramble]

why?

[shell radish]

and they can’t be turned on

because it’s a webhook

[vital bramble]

uhm I just did lol

[vital bramble]

but user mentions do work

using allowed_mentions=discord.AllowedMentions.all(), I was pinged

[shell radish]

it’s just how webhooks work idk

[sage tendon]

uh, for what i know, webhooks do support everyone tho

[shell radish]

probably so you can’t ping everyone or something accidentally

[sage tendon]

i've witnessed a few servers being taken over and spammed by webhooks, and im p sure @ everyone works

but yea role mentions are off by default i've noticed that too

[vital bramble]

off by default but it's possible to turn them on using allowed_mentions?
At least that's what worked for me...

[sage tendon]

yea

[vital bramble]

ok, because squid said it doesn't work xD

[sage tendon]

oh wait you mean followup after the initial reply

hm, idk there

[vital bramble]

yes

initial reply was interaction.edit though...

and then a interaction.followup.send

[shell radish]

I was referring to the follow up not being able to be in a different ephemeral state than the original reply. idk why I said that. Probably because I like just woke up

[vital bramble]

oh, ok. Thx

[sage tendon]

lol

[hasty meadow]

Anyone know why these suddenly stopped working for me?

server = await bot.fetch_guild(discord_server_id)
members = server.members # now returns empty list
category = discord.utils.get(server.categories, name="my-category") # now returns None

[fresh sierra]

what intents does ur bot has

[hasty meadow]

bot = Bot(command_prefix="!", intents=discord.Intents.all())

this works: members = await server.fetch_members().flatten()

but I couldn't find any alternative to find categories

[fresh sierra]

its not in the cache thats strange

[fresh sierra]

using the id

you can fetch it

[hasty meadow]

using which method?

[fresh sierra]

self.bot.fetch_channel(id)

[sage tendon]

why are you fetching a guild, especially without first trying to get it from cache?

[fresh sierra]

channel is textchannel, voice channel and categories

(with also the other things forum...)

[sage tendon]

and you should also very much avoid this

[hasty meadow]

I was using members but it suddently started returning an empty list.

[fresh sierra]

why ?

[sage tendon]

in short:
why do API request when cache do trick

[fresh sierra]

because cache does not ?

[sage tendon]

it should

[fresh sierra]

.

[sage tendon]

that is the problem that needs to be investigated

did you change anything since it last worked properly

[hasty meadow]

I was having other issues too, I had to re-add my app to the channel. I was thinking maybe Discord rolled out some changes to app permisions

[sage tendon]

why?

[hasty meadow]

Yesterday I suddenly couldn't connect to my server at all

[sage tendon]

wdym "connect to your server"

[hasty meadow]

server = await bot.fetch_guild(discord_server_id)
This line would return None if I remember correctly

[sage tendon]

if you have a test server, did it happen for that too?

[hasty meadow]

I don't have a test server

[sage tendon]

hm

but now fetching works?

or still no

[hasty meadow]

yea, but only after I re-added to my server using a new link. And I noticed the creation process was a bit different from last time

[sage tendon]

didnt really change in the past years for all i remember

are you sure the bot is installed on your server and not on your account as a user app lol

[hasty meadow]

ok it is possible I don't remember that well

[hasty meadow]

definitely sure

[sage tendon]

can you print bot.guilds

[hasty meadow]

hmm ok it seems like that works and I can run members on the guild from there fine

[sage tendon]

then get guild should work fine as well

[hasty meadow]

yes seems to work

[sage tendon]

then fetch should also work

lmao

[hasty meadow]

that works partially, those certain properties of the guild won't be there

members, member count, etc

[sage tendon]

no idea then lol
but if get works, use that
you should always use get if possible

[errant trout]

this never worked

[hasty meadow]

Yea lookimg again I actually was using that instead of fetch when the second two lines stopped working...

[short rivet]

Why is guild.name being None sometimes in on_guild_remove ?

[stoic patio]

how can i get a bot to be able to detect presence updates without caching ppls activities?

[lofty parcel]

Use the events?..

[hoary cradle]

if im importing functions from a different file in my cog and update that file, is it possible to reload my cog including that file?

[lofty parcel]

You mean if you add a new import to your cog file?

[hoary cradle]

yeah that would be one case, or if im updating one of the imports

[royal spindle]

Guys quick help why this name=f"{ctx.author.name}-zestaw" gives me for example @coarse yoke instead of the actual ping @royal spindle

[sage tendon]

ctx.author.mention

[royal spindle]

same

*sometimes works

[sage tendon]

screenshot

[royal spindle]

but sometimes it gaves me just the id instead of the ping

[sage tendon]

show your code and what you see in discord

[royal spindle]

embed = discord.Embed( title="abc", description=f"Results for {ctx.author.mention}", color=discord.Color.green() )

[sage tendon]

that's normal

pings in embeds don't fetch the user

so if your discord doesn't have that user in cache it won't show the ping properly

the only workaround is to ping the user in the message content

[royal spindle]

Is it possible to make it show the nickname without ping? like "results for Kaygoo"

[sage tendon]

ctx.author.display_name

[royal spindle]

ok im trying

works

[stoic patio]

cuz ik discord caches that stuff automatically

how do i turn it off

[sage tendon]

turn what off

[stoic patio]

discord caching user activities

i saw that stuff in the objgraph.show_growth() output

[errant trout]

there is no fine-tuned cache

[round heart]

Dumb question - how can you use once for cog listeners?
My listeners are done with @commands.Cog.listener(), and would want my on_ready method to just fire once.

[sage tendon]

isnt it just once=True ?

[round heart]

Ah, yeah it is https://github.com/Pycord-Development/pycord/pull/2403 -- it wasn't autocompleting in pycharm

[sage tendon]

kwargs can't be suggested automatically

[round heart]

No, but I wasn't seeing it at first even when trying it. It just needed a little persuasion is all

[deft kestrel]

why its giving None?

for command in self.bot.walk_application_commands():
            print(command.id, command.qualified_name, command.description)

output:
None setup antilink the antilink Logs
None setup autorole The autorole system
None setup feedback-costumer the feedback system
None setup giveaway the giveaway system
None setup logs every thing for you that related to logs
None setup ticket Ticket menu
None setup verify_v2 the verify v2 system
None setup welcome-v2 sets up the welcome message

[little cobalt]

bot.commands returns a list with all the loaded commands

https://docs.pycord.dev/en/master/ext/commands/api.html#discord.ext.commands.Bot.commands

[sage tendon]

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

im surprised it doesnt fail you completely and instead returns None

[deft kestrel]

there more commands and half id and half None

[sage tendon]

use this

[deft kestrel]

for everything or to make an if?

[sage tendon]

everything

[deft kestrel]

ok

[sage tendon]

the problem is that you're trying to print the IDs of subcommands
and subcommands arent commands by themselves

so qualified_id will print the ID of the parent command as described in its documentation

[deft kestrel]

ok got it

[sage tendon]

on a low level, subcommands are considered options for the parent command

[short rivet]

in on_member_remove why am i getting member.guild None sometimes and sometimes member.guild.me as None

[sage tendon]

any pattern as to when you get None for both?

[short rivet]

idk i am having this problem at multiple places in multiple events

another event being on_wbhooks_update i get the channel and from the channel i get channel.guild and use the guild.audit_logs iterator and start getting Unkown guild

[deft kestrel]

you can remind me how i can mention a command? something like that <name:/id>?

[sage tendon]

command.mention

[sage tendon]

but yea its something like that if .mention doesnt work

[deft kestrel]

ok

[echo wraith]

It's
</qualified name:id>

[short rivet]

[deft kestrel]

thanks

[little cobalt]

guild.me?

[sage tendon]

gives the bot's member object in a guild

[short rivet]

is it maybe because these events fire in the time when there is a resume and py-cord doesnt get stuff from the cache properly or something ?

[sage tendon]

wdym where there is a resume

[short rivet]

INFO:discord.shard:Got a request to RESUME the websocket at Shard ID 2.

[sage tendon]

oh god shards

yea no idea what that means

[short rivet]

the member object of the bot in that guild

[fresh sierra]

because its groups

so you need to itinerate through it using for example subcommand for command.subcommands and then do subcommand.id

[sage tendon]

luma, we already solved this

[fresh sierra]

i have seen nothing about the subcommand.id maybe that's mb ;)

[sage tendon]

subcommands dont have ids for all i know

because they count as options

[fresh sierra]

maybe i will double check

cos if they dont that a new thing that i will learn

ok so it work like so
</name of subcommand:id of group>

good to know thanks

[sage tendon]

yes

i think sub groups do count as their own commands though

[sage tendon]

wat

[fresh sierra]

group / subgroup are not considered as command

wrong screen

wait

[sage tendon]

but the group is a command

lol

[fresh sierra]

i mean it will still all refere to the same thing

i might have not understand ur first sentence

if you prefere all of those are considered as options of the first one for what i understand

[sage tendon]

Why do the docs on https://docs.pycord.dev/en/stable/api/clients.html#discord.Bot.on_application_command_error say that a DiscordException is returned, even though it is a https://docs.pycord.dev/en/stable/api/exceptions.html#discord.ApplicationCommandError in all of my tests?

[ebon swift]

how can I get a role id from its str value ?

[sage tendon]

what do you mean?

[ebon swift]

something like roleid = ctx.guild.get_role_id_from_name("Admin role")

[sage tendon]

first of all, why do you only have the name?

[ebon swift]

cause and error returned it to me ^^"

[sage tendon]

show the code then

[ebon swift]

I'm sorry you must hate me sm rn ^^"

@discord.Cog.listener()
    async def on_application_command_error(self, ctx, error):
        message_beginning = f"An error occurred while executing the command {ctx.command}."
        match type(error):
            case commands.MissingRole:
                rolename = error.missing_role
                role_id = ctx.guild.???????
                await ctx.respond(f"You don't have the required role <@{role_id}> to execute this command and "
                                  f"shouldn't be able to see it. Please contact an admin.")
                self.bot.logger.error(
                    f"{message_beginning} - MissingRole: {error} for {ctx.author}, that shouldn't happen check the "
                    f"integration settings and make sure this command is only visible to the right role.")
            case _:
                await ctx.respond("An error occurred while executing the command.Please contact an admin.")
                self.bot.logger.error(f"{message_beginning} - Error: {type(error)}")

[sage tendon]

no, why lol

MissingRole exceptions have a .missing_role attribute

[ebon swift]

hoooo the union ! so I should use missing_role[1] !

[sage tendon]

no

missing_role

[ebon swift]

missing_role returns the str of the role not the id

[lofty parcel]

Why do you even wanna mention the role

Just use the name

[fresh sierra]

if you have only the name u can use the discord.utils.get

[ebon swift]

you're right I might mention people that would rather sleep ^^

But I'm still curious if there is a way for me to mention the role from it's name

[fresh sierra]

you can disable ping but still mention in the chat if you want

[ebon swift]

hoooo can you please give me a link to the doc ? or explain a little more ?

[sage tendon]

Thats because you pass the role by name in your has_role decorator

okay !

[ebon swift]

I was able to did it it works perfectly thank you all

[flint talon]

hi

throwing error

missing perms

I have all the intents and role hierachy set right

when i timeout it keeps saying missing permissinos

and im owner

and im not timeouting myself

[stoic patio]

maybe the bot doesn't have perms to do wtv?

[rancid arrow]

Check if the bot has the explicit permission “timeout members”

[flint talon]

I fixed it

so apparently I can't timeout administrators...

but hey!

new problem to solve

get this error:
Error: 'str' object has no attribute 'to_dict'

[edgy nest]

code?

[flint talon]

newembed.add_field(name = "Server ID", value = f"{serverid}")

[edgy nest]

traceback?

[flint talon]

sorry little late

hold up gimme a sec

[edgy nest]

no problem

[flint talon]

wait sorry this will take 1 minute

its not giving me a traceback

[edgy nest]

i'm assuming you made a custom error handler?

[flint talon]

yeah

I did

[edgy nest]

can you remove it or have it print out the traceback

[flint talon]

how can i print out traceback

?

[edgy nest]

one sec

tb = "".join(
    traceback.format_exception(type(error), error, error.__traceback__)
)

make sure you add import traceback

[flint talon]

running now

not printing

ughh

@edgy nest

I'm going to delte custom error handling

[edgy nest]

well you need to add a print

[flint talon]

I did

[edgy nest]

¯_(ツ)_/¯

[flint talon]

now it's just straight up not giving me an error

@bot.command()
async def serverinfo(ctx):

membercount = discord.Guild.member_count
channelcount = discord.Guild.channels

await ctx.send(embed = newembed)

[edgy nest]

oh goodness

[flint talon]

yeah

[edgy nest]

alright well this is your problem line

newembed._thumbnail = icon

embed has set_thumbnail

[flint talon]

omg

[edgy nest]

but also you can't use discord.Guild like that

you should be referring to ctx.guild

[flint talon]

for all of them?

[edgy nest]

yeah

[flint talon]

ok lets see

what it gives us

literally

nothing

[edgy nest]

i think

your error handling is fucked somehow

[flint talon]

it just wont throw an error

wtf python

[edgy nest]

but you can have it send the traceback in discord

[flint talon]

how to do that

[edgy nest]

*or terminal

[flint talon]

i did await ctx.send but it don't send tracepback with it

[edgy nest]

just take that tb variable and send it in a message

[flint talon]

ok lemme try

ok we r about to see

YES YES YES

Traceback (most recent call last):

tf

[edgy nest]

it's a method

not an attribute

[flint talon]

so how can I set the thumbnail

[rugged lodge]

Sets the thumbnail for the embed content.

This function returns the class instance to allow for fluent-style
chaining.

.. versionchanged:: 1.4
    Passing `None` removes the thumbnail.

Parameters
----------
url: :class:`str`
    The source URL for the thumbnail. Only HTTP(S) is supported.```

[edgy nest]

set_thumbnail(url=...)

do note though that icon can be None, but if it's an asset you will need to use icon.url

[flint talon]

sounds good

do i await it

[edgy nest]

no

it is a normal method

[flint talon]

wait im confused

whats the path

like blah.blah.set_thumbnail()

[edgy nest]

your embed.set_thumbnail

[flint talon]

mb i just saw on the docs

[edgy nest]

same thing as your add_fields

[rugged lodge]

Searched in pycord

discord.Embed.set_thumbnail

[flint talon]

it has to be a url huh

[edgy nest]

yes

[flint talon]

how can i get pfp url

it's a method...

[fresh sierra]

is there something im missing ?

[sage tendon]

that's not how subcommands work

[sage tendon]

Oki sorry :3

[fresh sierra]

i think it can be because the cache is not updated at this time or something else

[sage tendon]

if your bot doesn't have it's own commands cached I'd be worried

what happens if you just get the command group

[fresh sierra]

after reload all cog sometime the application_commands are None

and depends sometime it works and other time it return Noen

[deft kestrel]

there's any example of how to use SKU's? I want when a user buy something the bot send a DM to him with "hi"

[vague plaza]

can I use HTML as a formatting option for sending messages from my bot?

[echo wraith]

nope :/

[red mist]

This question confuses me- discord supports markdown

[echo wraith]

you can use embeds tho

and markdown

yeah

[echo wraith]

https://support.discord.com/hc/en-us/articles/210298617-Markdown-Text-101-Chat-Formatting-Bold-Italic-Underline

[vague plaza]

yeah but html is more complete

[vague plaza]

awesome thanks

[vague plaza]

can you give an example

[red mist]

https://guide.pycord.dev/getting-started/more-features#styling-messages

@vague plaza

[red mist]

I am guessing you're making some kind of economy bot? Or... ?

You can make a /buy command that sees what user executes the command in which the bot then fetches the user and then user.send('s them a message. Hi')

I don't understand what you mean with SKU tho- stock keeping unit but I don't know why youd need it if you can just directly dm the user by having them execute the command.

[deft kestrel]

mean this

[red mist]

Ah- so actual buying using apps

[deft kestrel]

yep

[red mist]

Uff ok hold on gotta fill myself in-

Ah- ok so apparently you can introduce webhook logic by adding a webhook to your application via the discord dev portal

But then you'll also need to handle the webhook events so you should create a webserver like fladk

*flask

So pretty much discord makes a webhook requests once somebody buys something on your SKU- which you can then handle on your flask web server to then trigger a bot event to dm the user

user purchase information should be passed trough the webhook

(I am not certain of this in any way tho as I have not tested any of this myself)

@deft kestrel

[deft kestrel]

omg, where? here?

[red mist]

I think so im not sure scrolling trough docs and guides rn but having a hard time-

[sage tendon]

pretty sure that'd break your bot

[red mist]

well if it actually switches everything over then yes 💀

[deft kestrel]

I'm pretty sure too 😂

[sage tendon]

you can fetch the bot's current skus

I'm not sure if that's the only way or if there's an event, but if nothing else works, you can fetch them like once a minute and check for changes

[red mist]

Best I could find

https://docs.pycord.dev/en/stable/api/events.html#entitlements

But I don't think that does anything

Towards your needs

[sage tendon]

oh yea entitlements

I'm not sure if SKUs and entitlements are the same or how they're connected, that's beyond what I know lol

[red mist]

https://docs.pycord.dev/en/stable/api/models.html#monetization

[stoic patio]

do objects still get saved in memory when a discord bot disconnects before resuming a session? (thinking of on_resume)

[deft kestrel]

any examples?

[sage tendon]

no

[errant trout]

check the on_entitlement_... events in docs

[edgy nest]

SKU is the item to purchase, an entitlement is the record that you actually own it

an entitlement grants access to an sku

[sage tendon]

confusing+

[edgy nest]

not really

but ok

an entitlement just says that you're entitled to an sku

[viscid depot]

Hi! Is it possible to use emojis in the strings returned for the autocomplete?

[sage tendon]

no

[viscid depot]

Ok. Thanks for the on reply!

[shell radish]

just industry standards

[sage tendon]

"stock keeping unit" is a dumb af name

[edgy nest]

industry standard

[stoic patio]

is it normal for these kinds of objects to linger in memory

[shell radish]

yeah, because member cache

[stoic patio]

how about things like timerhandle, ordereddict, list, etc

(i'm using asyncpg as well)

[shell radish]

list could be anything

¯_(ツ)_/¯

[edgy nest]

probably parts of cache

members have role lists attached to them

channels have permissions

this and that

[stoic patio]

i see

[stoic patio]

but then, why doesn't the number of lists at least equal the number of members?

[shell radish]

because there's other lists that are snowflakes like guilds and channels

[edgy nest]

¯_(ツ)_/¯

[stoic patio]

what i mean is, if members have role lists attached to them, why is the # of lists less than # of members

[shell radish]

maybe they just don't have roles

[stoic patio]

so if they don't have roles they just don't have a role list attached to them at all, rather than a []?

[shell radish]

list is different from SnowflakeList

and i have no idea how SnowflakeList works

[stoic patio]

lol

i have a feeling that asyncpg may be leaky

for some reason

[shell radish]

is memory an issue for you?

[stoic patio]

yes

i'm noticing that my memory usage is increasing gradually

by an average of about 2-3 mb an hour

according to pm2

[shell radish]

that's like normal

[stoic patio]

how

and the thing is, my bot's running on an ec2 free tier with 1gb ram, and the thing goes offline about once per week as a result of the memory growth

it's being used by 7.5k users, not including bots

[shell radish]

oh so it doesnt go down. I see

[stoic patio]

it doesn't

[stoic patio]

at that point, it, as well as a the server it runs on, just crashes

[edgy nest]

easiest solution is disabling member cache

[stoic patio]

can't

my bot needs to be able to access members

and fetching them all the time isn't exactly an option

[edgy nest]

when, how often, what purpose

[stoic patio]

for example, it has a ban command

i tried running it with member cache disabled

didn't work

[edgy nest]

if it's a slash command you should recieve the full member object as a parameter

if not you can query/fetch members by name

[stoic patio]

it is

[edgy nest]

so it should provide a full member (or at least a user) object for your parameter

if not a member, you can use guild.ban with a discord.Object

[stoic patio]

and i assume i disable member cache using discord.membercacheflags.none()?

[edgy nest]

yup

you can also disable guild chunking too

fetches member lists

though if you're running a moderation bot, and you have logging cache is probably better off enabled

[stoic patio]

yes that's waht i'm doing

[stoic patio]

if i try to run that slash command with member cache completely off, i just get a "this application did not respond" with no error

[edgy nest]

your error logging is broken then

[stoic patio]

oh wait i do get an error

it's Application Command raised an exception: AttributeError: 'NoneType' object has no attribute 'id'

[maiden bloom]

The line above that should tell you what object is None that you're trying to get an ID from

I'm not using the delete() method for any messages yet I'm getting the error below on v2.5.1. I do use the delete_after argument when sending some messages through. Is this a known bug or do I need to handle it somehow?

The way importing and creating slash commands in cogs has changed or is it still the same way?
Having a bot running with py-cord version 2.4.1 that uses the import from discord.commands import slash_command but the example https://github.com/Pycord-Development/pycord/blob/master/examples/app_commands/slash_cog.py shows how to import it with from discord.ext import commands and using it with @commands.slash_command()
Dont see in changelog that this behaiviour has changed

[sage tendon]

just use @discord.slash_command()

behavior didnt change, there just many ways to import the same thing in pycord

[red mist]

Well you- can / can't it's really weird if you <#CategoryID> it does resolve the category name with a # Infront but it doesn't actually mention it so it's plain text.

#1017401122031419463 → #1017401122031419463

[stoic patio]

apparently it's guild.owner that's none, but why?

[sage tendon]

because you disabled member cache

so you don't have the guild owner cached

[stoic patio]

but the members themselves are not none

[sage tendon]

You mean ones passed via options?

[stoic patio]

member1 is ctx.author, member2 is the one passed

[sage tendon]

I mean yea, you were already told member objects passed via options work even without cache of course

but guild.member just isn't cached and not explicitly passed either

disabling (member) cache is simply a pain you should try to avoid

and you said you were running on a free vps with 1GB right?
maybe with 7k+ members you should consider renting an actual VPS with more ram instead of trying to get around it with brute force

[stoic patio]

i see

i'll have to convince my dad to do it (i'm almost 17)

[sage tendon]

oracle has a free vps tier with like 4GB or more of ram
but you need a credit card to sign up

[echo wraith]

what is the listener to catch exceptions in views / other interactions?

on_error dosen't seem to do the job

[sage tendon]

dont ever use Bot.on_error

https://docs.pycord.dev/en/stable/api/ui_kit.html#discord.ui.View.on_error found this for views tho

[echo wraith]

why?

[echo wraith]

oooh thanks

feels wierd imo but fair enough

[sage tendon]

because you are overwriting pycord's entire error handling if you do

[echo wraith]

so you call super?

[sage tendon]

just dont use it, there's no point

[echo wraith]

even as a listener?

@Cog.listener ?

[sage tendon]

you cant listen to on_error :)

read the docs

[echo wraith]

yeah ik I tought you were telling me I should't

thanks

I'm using bot.walk_application_commands() iterator that iterates over all bot commands. How can I differenciate between an actual command and command group? e.g I have math group and 2 commands in it: add and subtract. Iterator will walk through 3 commands: math add, math subtract and math

[flint talon]

so I have a command for timing someone out

The command is ?timeout (days int) (hours int) (minutes) username

so a command could look like

?timeout 5 0 0 billybobjoe

but what happens is

If I don't set the timeout to some obscenely large value

it won't timeout the user

so if I set it for like 20 mins

nothing happens

try:
target = member
duration = datetime.datetime.now()
time_delta = timedelta(days = days, hours = hours, minutes = minutes)
timeout_until = duration + time_delta
timeout_until = timeout_until.
replace(tzinfo=datetime.timezone.utc)
print(str(timeout_until))

        await target.timeout(timeout_until, reason = f"Ordered by {ctx.author}")
        await ctx.send(f"☑️ {target} was timed out for {days} days, {hours} hours, {minutes}, minutes")

except Exception as e:
await ctx.send(f"Error: {e}")

[deft kestrel]

what's the method name?

[sage tendon]

no clue

[lofty parcel]

.rtfm fetch_entitlements

[sly karma]

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

[lofty parcel]

Well its called that. Bot method.

You also got events for creation, update and deletion.

And you also receive the entitlements data on each interaction.

[sage tendon]

use https://docs.pycord.dev/en/stable/api/models.html#discord.Member.timeout_for

easier imo

[deft kestrel]

how to "consume" a SKU? because if i want buy much products in the store like 2/3 subscriptions what i can do?

[shell radish]

A consumable is like buying coins. You bought 100 coins and you get it in your profile

[edgy nest]

Or an item you can use

[upper flint]

[errant trout]

isinstance

groups are SlashCommandGroup

[upper flint]

Alright, will do so. I guess I got confused by the walk_application_commands signature. It states that it only yields ApplicationCommand objects

[errant trout]

that is correct

SlashCommandGroup is also a subclass of ApplicationCommand

[upper flint]

Oh, so that's why.. Now I know

Thanks =)

Hi got a small question. When calling discord.VoiceClient.play i can define with the after= parameter a finalizer function. Usually this finalizer function only receives an error parameter from the play function. Is there a way to pass more than just the error parameter to the finalizer function without using global vars, for example the ctx?

[stoic patio]

overall, how frequent are username changes on discord? cuz my member cache is disabled but sometimes i need to get a member object from a user object when username changes for every mutual guild, what's the best way to do it?

[sage tendon]

fetch the member in the guild

[stoic patio]

so they're infrequent enough that you can do that?

[sage tendon]

..what

guild.fetch_member(id)

[stoic patio]

i know, but that's an api call

and those have ratelimits

[sage tendon]

you have cache disabled

you have to do API calls

[stoic patio]

so there is literally no way around it right

[sage tendon]

No

I told you, disabling cache will get you into a world of pain

[stoic patio]

true

but ever since i disabled member cache, my memory's been pretty stable

Hey I learned that giving guild_ids to my functions would help with discord syncing. I had a question is there any way for me to make an environement variable that will be passed to the 'guild_id' parameter or not ?

[shell radish]

it doesn't help with discord syncing

[ebon swift]

it may be a short comprehension , but while develloping i found my commands to appear quicker if i gave a guild_id

[shell radish]

that was true 4 years ago

[red mist]

if you give a guild it just makes the commands sync to a specific guild

But it doesn't mean your commands sync quicker as usually it would sync to all guilds

Now it'll still be shitty on all other guilds except the one in the guild_ids

And it would still need to resync and take a lot of time when syncing to all guilds once you're done testing on your guild_ids

[ebon swift]

ok thank you

[sage tendon]

as always, restart discord when changing any command metadata

[edgy nest]

press ctrl+r

[ebon swift]

ho didn't knew it'd work with ctrl+r

thank you

[ebon swift]

is it possible to register the same command name with multiple input types ?

/choose_color <red> <green> <blue>
/choose_color <hex_color>
/choose_color <color_name_list

[lofty parcel]

No

Application command names must be unique.

[ebon swift]

okay thank you !

[warm linden]

hey is there any reason why my prefixed commands are running twice, my slash commands are normal - there's no duplicated on_message events and the cogs are only being loaded once

[lofty parcel]

You're probably running your bot twice.

[rotund quarry]

Very quick question, is more efficent to make a bridge insted of copy paste?

[sage tendon]

obviously

[ebon swift]

hey all how to you make a respond private ?

[echo wraith]

.respond(ephemeral=True)

[ebon swift]

ho ok thank you I'll read it in the doc , I couldn't find it

Hi,
Let's say I've got a user who boosted my server and received the booster role. Gave them a reward by using the on_member_update listener. I'd like to give them another reward for the second boost. Any way I could do that? Booster role isn't given to the user twice, so which event listener should I use? OR is there a boost counter somewhere available?

[edgy nest]

you can use the default boost messages discord sends

[upbeat lintel]

Hmm... right, I'll do that. Thank you!

[sage tendon]

that ofc requires those to be enabled

isnt the case on all servers, if your bot is public

[upbeat lintel]

Isn't public yet, but will be. Is there a shortcut to retrieve the channel these messages get sent to?

[sage tendon]

https://docs.pycord.dev/en/stable/api/models.html#discord.Guild.system_channel

docs save lives :)

[upbeat lintel]

Thank youu

mind helping?

i literally have no clue why its doing this

[sage tendon]

holy balls

[deft kestrel]

    @option(
        "choice", description="Choose 'Heads' or 'Tails'.", choices=["Heads", "Tails"]
    )
    @option(
        "challenger",
        description="Challenge another user to a coin flip bet.",
        required=False,
    )
    async def coinflipbet(
            self,
            ctx: ApplicationContext,
            bet_amount: int,
            choice: str,
            challenger: discord.Member = None,
    ):```

its just that

it worked yesterday and no commits have been made

[sage tendon]

try explicitly setting str as input type for both options

[stoic patio]

how do i prevent thread members from being cached

membercacheflags is set to none

[sage tendon]

dude stop disabling each and every cache ever

please just get a VPS lol

[stoic patio]

i've only disabled member cache

[deft kestrel]

it works now

thanks i guess lol

idk where the fuck that came from

[sage tendon]

if i had to guess, discord API update

[deft kestrel]

waking up with 400 errors and a down bot is NEVER a good thing 😭 🙏

[deft kestrel]

probably

[sage tendon]

are you on 2.5.0?

or master

[deft kestrel]

whatever is the latest on pop

pip

[sage tendon]

very weird

yea i can really only imagine a discord api update then, or rather, discord api bug

[deft kestrel]

is there a way to make it so if a cog crashes instead of the ENTIRE bot killing itself it will post in my staff chat and then keep the bot up but disable the cog

[echo wraith]

do you know why _system_channel_id is private? Cuz sometimes I have to use it because the system_channel attribute is none...

[deft kestrel]

or is that not possible

i would assume id need to run in a seperate thread or sum

[sage tendon]

because if system_channel is None, there wont be an id

[echo wraith]

yet there is

that's my point

[sage tendon]

error handling :)

[echo wraith]

the id is set not the channel object

[sage tendon]

if system_channel is none, system messages are off

[deft kestrel]

lemme wrap everything in try except and pray something works ong

[echo wraith]

nope

[sage tendon]

yes.

[echo wraith]

There must be a bug then

the guild's .system_channel was none but not the id

[sage tendon]

no, thats not how you do that

[lofty parcel]

load_extension has a kwarg for that afaik?

[deft kestrel]

does it?

that would be hella convienient

[echo wraith]

in my case
ctx.guild.system_channel was none but not ctx.guild._system_channel_id

[deft kestrel]

cuz this literally happened overnight and i do have error handling for when they load and in every command

[edgy nest]

store=True I think

[sage tendon]

also, @stoic patio, can i ask why you are hosting on like the most expensive service possible when you're clearly budget-restrained?

[lofty parcel]

It is store.
If True returns a dict with all the errors, if False it just raises the exception and closes the bot.
