Basic Pycord Help

[sage tendon]

at the highest level

[sand bolt]

ok ok

[fresh sierra]

but this is discord.py

so ur just in the wrong server

[sage tendon]

no?

[sand bolt]

ops

[fresh sierra]

yes

[sage tendon]

you cant know what they're using based on that code

[fresh sierra]

...

await load extension

app_commands

setup hook

this is only in discord.py

[sage tendon]

hm true

didnt see the import

[sand bolt]

sorry

[fresh sierra]

dw

[sage tendon]

if you're new to programing, i'd recommend pycord if you wanna use slash commands

discord.py is unnecessarily complicated and weird with slash commands

[sand bolt]

what can i use?

[sage tendon]

whatever you want, but i recommend pycord lol

[sand bolt]

ok thanks

[stoic patio]

why would this happen

[echo wraith]

if self.user is None

[stoic patio]

why would that happen

[echo wraith]

idk where do you set self.user

maybe you are setting it to none

you aren't giving enough context

[sage tendon]

Most importantly, what did you change since it last worked

[sage tendon]

thats code inside pycord..

the top of the stacktrace is what matters
the more you go down the more it gets into library code

[heavy inlet]

How do I make a button that only works for the person who ran the command?

[stoic patio]

i just made it log memory usages of different events

[sage tendon]

put a check in the button callback

[echo wraith]

i can't read

[sage tendon]

can you show your code around where it happened

[little cobalt]

add the author do the class and check for it

[stoic patio]

it's literally bot.run(token) that causes it

[sage tendon]

show your code

[stoic patio]

but that only happens when it resumes

not upon first startup

[sage tendon]

resume?

[stoic patio]

on_resumed

that thing

[little cobalt]

wtf is on_resumed

[rugged lodge]

Searched in pycord

discord.on_resumed
discord.on_shard_resumed

[sage tendon]

are you by any chance running the bot again inside on_resume

[heavy inlet]

im so dumb i didn't think of that 😅 thanks

[little cobalt]

add something like ctx to the class and check for it at the interaction

[heavy inlet]

yeah it's working, ty

[stoic patio]

this is what happens in on_resumed

[heavy inlet]

class DeleteButton(discord.ui.View):
    def __init__(self, author):
        super().__init__(timeout=None)
        self.author = author # for outside classes

    @discord.ui.button(label="Delete", custom_id="delete_button", style=discord.ButtonStyle.red)
    async def delete_callback(self, button: discord.ui.Button, interaction: discord.Interaction):
       if interaction.user.id != self.author.id:
           await interaction.response.send_message("You do not have the permission to delete this message!", ephemeral=True)
           return
       await interaction.message.delete()

This button is supposed to be persistent, but it says Interaction Failed after the bot restarts. It doesn't even throw any exceptions

for information it does work before the bot restarts

[lofty parcel]

You're supposed to add the view again on on_ready

[vague plaza]

is there a way to tag everyone without actually showing @ everyone in the text message?

[sage tendon]

no

[vague plaza]

how can I hide it with a spoiler ||like this||? just with ||?

[sage tendon]

yea, but why lol

[lofty parcel]

After my long mute of 1 minute, yes you can.

But I gotta DM you the text cause the stupid automod mutes me

[sage tendon]

well yea you can but the markdown spam trick doesn't work on mobile I think

and it just depends on a bug so meh

[lofty parcel]

It does work on mobile lolz

[vague plaza]

dms open brother

[sage tendon]

ah

I forgor then

[vague plaza]

kinda looks ugly with the @ everyone

[flint talon]

guys

so I have a ton of commands for my bot

and all of them work as intended

except one of them

I just programmed in this new command

and it just won't run

I've tried try catch nothing shows up in console, keeps running as usual

and it just won't accept this one

command

and it's driving me nuts

cause I cant even get an error

[errant trout]

Restart both discord and your bot first

[grizzled loom]

When it expects more?

[grizzled loom]

Is this solved or still a thing?

[autumn narwhal]

how can I use the emoji with discord.CustomActivity?

activity = discord.CustomActivity(emoji=discord.PartialEmoji.from_str('![information](https://cdn.discordapp.com/emojis/1260214232528588820.webp?size=128 "information")'), name=f"啟動中・啟動進度：{int((len(self.bot.users)/per)*100)}%")
print(activity)
await self.bot.change_presence(
    status=discord.Status.online,
    activity=activity
)

[fresh sierra]

It’s possible

By doing a glitch

[sage tendon]

they were already told that yesterday

can you stop constantly replying to already-solved messages

it helps no one

[broken igloo]

is there a way to use pycord in a way that doesn't need a bot

i want to make a python script to search and fetch specific messages

[sly karma]

discord.Client # just for events
discord.Bot # events + slash/user/msg commands
commands.Bot # above + prefixed commands
bridge.Bot # above + bridge commands (application commands and text commands in one)

[sage tendon]

Not sure if .Client would suffice but you always need a bot user in the server

[broken igloo]

oh

[fresh sierra]

I didn’t see

[fresh sierra]

You should look at user app if they have access to message

Will be more efficient in ur case I think since it doesn’t need to have the bot inside the server

[sage tendon]

but you cant search messages and stuff then

the most you can do is use a message command on 1 message each

[broken igloo]

oh

[sage tendon]

whats the purpose anyway btw

[fresh sierra]

they dont have access to channel history ?

[sage tendon]

no

never tried user apps?

they're super limited in everything

[fresh sierra]

nope

im waiting for the listener before looking at the user app

[mellow pebble]

ephemeral for slash command groups is not working

[sage tendon]

show what you mean and your code

[mellow pebble]

i mean when i use a slash cmd group and use ephemeral it's ntow orking

[sage tendon]

great, show what you mean and show your code

[sage tendon]

you arent deferring ephemerally

so you cant respond ephemerally either

[mellow pebble]

what da ok then what to do

[mellow pebble]

these work without the slash cmd grp though

[sage tendon]

No, it doesnt

you cannot respond with ephemeral=True if your defer is not ephemeral

[mellow pebble]

ohh right right i did not use defer there

so what do i do

[fresh sierra]

does that will work await ctx.defer() -> await ctx.defer(ephemeral=True) since defer ephemeral does not exist with slash command ?

[sage tendon]

of course you can defer with ephemeral what do you mean

[sage tendon]

make the defer ephemeral lol

[mellow pebble]

ok ok

[fresh sierra]

i was thinking with slash command it does not change anything

or is it the invisible ?

[sage tendon]

luma

try it out

[fresh sierra]

cant really rn

[sage tendon]

it should be obvious

[edgy nest]

lemme just whip out the

https://tryitands.ee

[mellow pebble]

like as in await ctx.defer(ephemeral=True)

[sage tendon]

yes

[mellow pebble]

kk

[fresh sierra]

also you should do do a try except for each command you have an event name on_application_command_error for that

[mellow pebble]

kk

[broken igloo]

ok so

i am getting 100 messages

and i want to get almost all the messages

an algorithm i thought of is get 100 messages before DATE then reverse the list to get the oldest message and then store the timestamp of the message in DATE and repeat

[little cobalt]

Is the DB even a asyncio one?

[broken igloo]

the problem is the date is a bit weird in discord

[sage tendon]

not really

[broken igloo]

i wanna convert datetime object for the first iteration to discord's own timestamp

then

i wanna get the oldest message(which is done by reversing the list) and get the timestamp via message["timestamp"] but then if i pass that timestamp it says its not a snowflake

[sage tendon]

message.created_at

also, why do you wanna log so many messages?

[fresh sierra]

int(message.created_at.timestamp()) -> if you want to save it in ur database else it will raise an error about unix thing

[sage tendon]

and you can just set the limit to None in channel.history

but you should still set a limit else you're never gonna get done

[broken igloo]

i filter the messages

[sage tendon]

yea but why

[broken igloo]

bc i need specific messages

[sage tendon]

well, do this

and done

[broken igloo]

but since pycord doesn't support the user stuff we mentioned earlier

i have to use the raw discord api

[sage tendon]

what

you cant scrape messages in servers if you dont have a bot user in there

[fresh sierra]

its not pycord but discord that doesnt support that stuff

[sage tendon]

if you mean selfbotting, obviously not, its agains the ToS

[broken igloo]

oh

ok imma stop then

[sage tendon]

why cant you just add a bot to the server lol

[broken igloo]

well i want to filter specific embed messages sent from another bot that is another server

basically the same thing can be done as a user but its kinda teadious

thats why i wanted to automate a script to search for you and output a list

[tidal vessel]

One question, can the input_type argument of an application command be of 2 types? I want the moderator to be able to enter a member or user ID

[sage tendon]

thats all encompassed by discord.Member

automatically
discord doesnt differentiate between that

which is usually more of a pain than a help

also to make your code a little shorter you can directly import slash_command from discord

[tidal vessel]

Ok, thanks for the information 🙌

[tidal vessel]

ok ok ty!

[sage tendon]

also fyi you can define type unions with type1 | type 2

starting python 3.9 i think

[mild trout]

how do i access the bot.get_guild from inside a ui view?

(view is in a cog file)

[sage tendon]

pass bot to the view constructor

or depending on your structure just self.bot if you have it passed to the cog already

[mild trout]

gotcha thanx you

[fresh sierra]

also for you know, in slash command discord.Member will also allow discord.User to be selected so you might add a check

[lofty parcel]

interaction.client also works

[mild trout]

thanx i think thats better

[mild trout]

it isn't getting the guild

guild = interaction.client.get_guild(os.getenv("GUILD_ID"))
role = guild.get_role(int(os.getenv("LINKEDAC_ID")))

Error:
AttributeError: 'NoneType' object has no attribute 'get_role'

It was working fine when it was a command rather than a ui view

[lofty parcel]

int() the guild_id

[mild trout]

thanx i forget about that

[slate idol]

I've started getting this error code today:

future: <Task finished name='Task-21' coro=<ApplicationCommandMixin.on_application_command_auto_complete.<locals>.callback() done, defined at C:\Users\kazer\AppData\Roaming\Python\Python39\site-packages\discord\bot.py:876> exception=NotFound('404 Not Found (error code: 10062): Unknown interaction')>

It's a bit sporadic, but in response to a command which does use autocompletes.

[sage tendon]

show the command's code, and the autocomplete code

[echo wraith]

tbh not using an integer here should ValueError i will see if I can pr

[slate idol]

Command is enormous, but starts with....

@bot.slash_command(description="For most types of rolls.",
    integration_types={discord.IntegrationType.guild_install,discord.IntegrationType.user_install}
    )
async def roll(
    ctx,

    pool1: Option(str, autocomplete=discord.utils.basic_autocomplete(pool1_autocomplete), required=False),
    pool2: Option(str, autocomplete=discord.utils.basic_autocomplete(pool2_autocomplete), required=False),

    specialty: Option(str, "Add a die for a Specialty", autocomplete=discord.utils.basic_autocomplete(specialty_autocomplete), required=False), 
    ): 
    # 200 Lines of dice rolling complexity

Pool 1 Autocomplete:

async def pool1_autocomplete(ctx: discord.AutocompleteContext):
    statList = ["Strength", "Dexterity", "Stamina", "Charisma", "Manipulation", "Composure", "Intelligence", "Wits", "Resolve", "Glory", "Honor", "Wisdom", "Athletics", "Brawl", "Craft", "Driving", "Firearms", "Larceny", "Melee", "Stealth", "Survival", "Animal Ken", "Etiquette", "Insight", "Intimidation", "Leadership", "Performance", "Persuasion", "Streetwise", "Subterfuge", "Academics", "Awareness", "Finance", "Investigation", "Medicine", "Occult", "Politics", "Science", "Technology"]
    return statList```

[sage tendon]

why do you use autocomplete lol

just put that stuff as choices

[slate idol]

25 choices

[sage tendon]

right

does the error happen during the autocomplete or after you send the command

[slate idol]

Initially was happening during, but now seems to be after, and sometimes like... many seconds after the command has successfully resolved all its tasks.

[sage tendon]

if the command code takes more than 3 seconds you need to defer first

[slate idol]

Command is basically instant. It's the error that seems to pop up way later.

[sage tendon]

is there a part of the traceback above this btw?

[slate idol]

That's the whole thing

[sage tendon]

hm
can you show the other autocompletes too

[slate idol]

async def pool2_autocomplete(ctx: discord.AutocompleteContext):
    statList = ["Strength", "Dexterity", "Stamina", "Charisma", "Manipulation", "Composure", "Intelligence", "Wits", "Resolve", "Glory", "Honor", "Wisdom", "Athletics", "Brawl", "Craft", "Driving", "Firearms", "Larceny", "Melee", "Stealth", "Survival", "Animal Ken", "Etiquette", "Insight", "Intimidation", "Leadership", "Performance", "Persuasion", "Streetwise", "Subterfuge", "Academics", "Awareness", "Finance", "Investigation", "Medicine", "Occult", "Politics", "Science", "Technology"]
    return statList```

        specs = ["No Specialties"]
    return specs```

I haven't touched any of the autocompletes in several days.

[sage tendon]

i wouldn't recommend loading a file every single time, that will cause issues

load the file when the bot starts and save it in a variable somewhere

because every time you add a letter in the option it loads the file
and that isn't ideal

[slate idol]

It changes constantly

I could move the file loading further into the code, though.

[sage tendon]

try changing it to load on bot start and see if you can still reproduce the issue
if no, you could make a task that loads the file every 10s or so and saves it back to a variable

[shell radish]

users.json is being used as a database

[sage tendon]

yea i figured

i did much the same thing

[slate idol]

Usage frequency would need it to load every second at minimum, but that really hasn't been an issue for any of the bots I've made with way sloppier json-loading.

[sage tendon]

every second wtf

at that point i'd look into an async sqlite db lol

[slate idol]

Thousands of users all updating their (not-DnD) characters' stats whenever they feel like it.

[sage tendon]

thousands of users in a json

[slate idol]

Yeah I'll be migrating to something else before wide launch

[sage tendon]

how big is that file anyway

[slate idol]

It's tiny right now because it's in testing - again this isn't the problem though.

[sage tendon]

i'd say it is because i have no other idea

[slate idol]

I'll switch out the json before mass launch.

11kb

[lofty parcel]

Or you could switch now and avoid a headache later tbh

[slate idol]

Yeah but again that's not what I'm here for help with

[shell radish]

i thought discord.utils.basic_autocomplete takes a list?

[sage tendon]

no, a function that returns a list

[rugged lodge]

Searched in pycord

discord.utils.basic_autocomplete

[sage tendon]

i think it handles the fuzzy-matching

[slate idol]

I'm sending it lists

[sage tendon]

not quite no

[shell radish]

maybe you're adding overhead to it so maybe just make it a list instead of a coro

[sage tendon]

you're passing functions that the basic_autocomplete calls

[shell radish]

*coroutine

[sage tendon]

🤓

[lofty parcel]

coroutine*

🤓

[sage tendon]

well fr now tho guys

in everything they sent i can only imagine the file loading somehow getting stuck because the OS blocks so many accesses or whatever, so one instance just gets stuck and only gets done a few seconds after

wdyt

[shell radish]

i don't understand why discord.utils.basic_autocomplete is used here

specialty: Option(str, "Add a die for a Specialty", autocomplete=discord.utils.basic_autocomplete(specialty_autocomplete), required=False), 
    ):

[lofty parcel]

more than 25 options

[shell radish]

aiofiles would definitely help

[sage tendon]

squid, it fuzzy matches

[lofty parcel]

She can't use choices

[shell radish]

that's not an issue

you can return infinite options

[slate idol]

Specialties needs to check [pool1] and [pool2] to see if any of those are in the user's Specialties list

[shell radish]

discord just uses 25

[sage tendon]

basic autocomplete handles fuzzy matching

thats the entire point

[slate idol]

K let's just go ahead and remove all my autocompletes and see if that fixes it so we can get back ont rack.

[lofty parcel]

Wait

So you need to return options based off past options?

[sage tendon]

this is the track

your autocompletes are the issue

nothing is off track here lol

[slate idol]

They weren't for weeks

[lofty parcel]

Can't we just try doing what toothy said

[sage tendon]

now they are

[slate idol]

They have not been touched.

[lofty parcel]

Pass the list to basic_autocomplete

Instead of a coro

[shell radish]

that wasn't even what he said, but ok

[sage tendon]

ok no i dont think that will change anything lmao

[lofty parcel]

Isn't it

[sage tendon]

my entire point is that i think loading the file so frequently is the issue
so i just want them to try with a globally loaded file once to rule it out

[lofty parcel]

Wouldn't it (assuming) raise an exception tho?

[shell radish]

why would it

[sage tendon]

why?

we can sit here discussing all day but something needs to be tried
and since my best guess is the file, i want to rule that out first
if that isnt the issue we can see on

[lofty parcel]

I'm brain storming ideas leave me alone 😭

[slate idol]

Waiting for the command to update, sorry.

[shell radish]

@slate idol can you profile your code by any chance?

[slate idol]

Explain?

[shell radish]

ok, nvm then

[sage tendon]

you're just changing the autocomplete, no need to wait

[slate idol]

I'm removing all autocompletes to make sure that's actually the problem

[sage tendon]

ah

well it is, the traceback clearly says so

[slate idol]

Thanks!

[sage tendon]

i thought you read it lol

[rugged lodge]

Searched in pycord

discord.utils.basic_autocomplete

[echo wraith]

Why do you want a different function for your auto complete?

You can just do basic_autoconplete(my list)

[sage tendon]

paillat

they're doing checks inside of it

read up, please

[shell radish]

pool1 and pool2 should be lists, but that's not the issue

[slate idol]

K so I've commented out the stuff involving the json, and it freaked out on pool1 before even getting to specialties

They're more than 25 items.

[shell radish]

the amount of items shouldn't matter

[slate idol]

Otherwise I'd LOVE to make them lists, believe me.

[echo wraith]

Not in pool 1 and pool 2

[slate idol]

It throws me an error.

[echo wraith]

It just triggered me

[sage tendon]

i'm 99% sure autocomplete can take lists >25 long

[echo wraith]

...

[sage tendon]

can you show your current code again

[shell radish]

when you say it freaks out during pool1 what happens specifically

[slate idol]

[sage tendon]

show the code again that you have now

[slate idol]

Followed up on other stuff: In 8.options.1.choices: Must be 25 or fewer in length. In 8.options.2.choices: Must be 25 or fewer in length.

So returning to autocompleting them.

[sage tendon]

yea we never said to try choices lol

[slate idol]

K I misunderstood

[sage tendon]

all good

kinda confusing all this rn lol

[slate idol]

Then my code is unchanged?

[sage tendon]

can you remove the option that uses the autocomplete with the file in it, just to make sure that one is or isnt the problem
just wanna make sure which of the 3 autocompletes is the issue

doesnt matter if the command itself errors

[slate idol]

 async def specialty_autocomplete(ctx: discord.AutocompleteContext):
    skills = ["Athletics", "Brawl", "Craft", "Driving", "Firearms", "Larceny", "Melee", "Stealth", "Survival", "Animal Ken", "Etiquette", "Insight", "Intimidation", "Leadership", "Performance", "Persuasion", "Streetwise", "Subterfuge", "Academics", "Awareness", "Finance", "Investigation", "Medicine", "Occult", "Politics", "Science", "Technology"]

                #users = json.load(f)
            #target = str(ctx.interaction.user.id)
            #if pool in users[target]['Specialties']:
                #specs.append(users[target]['Specialties'][pool]) 
            specs.append(pool)

                    #specs.append(users[target]['Specialties'][pool])  
            specs.append(pool)
    if specs == []:
        specs = ["No Specialties"]
    return specs```

Commented that bit out, sorry, that has changed.

[sage tendon]

okay so none of your autocompletes load a file anymore?

[slate idol]

Correct

Figured out what the other person meant, replacing Pool1 and Pool2 with a global variable which is a list.

[sage tendon]

yea at this point im kinda clueless

anyone else

[sage tendon]

now that just looks like the typical "taking more than 3s to respond" error to me

[slate idol]

K, but the command fires perfectly, so is there something it's waiting for that I'm not giving it? Like a return or something?

[shell radish]

?tag defer

[limber wagon]

No tag defer found.

[sage tendon]

If you responded twice the error would say so

[slate idol]

Okay, so how do I send an embed for everyone to see AND an embed only the interacter can see?

[sage tendon]

yea thats hard

[shell radish]

await ctx.send and await ctx.respond(ephemeral=True)

[slate idol]

Send and respond, will try!

[sage tendon]

and tbh i have no idea how big bots do it that need tons of db requests before being able to figure out if its ephemeral

[sage tendon]

what

oh wait, and

i misread my bad

ignore what i said

[shell radish]

obviously

if ((await ctx.send("hello") and (await ctx.respond(ephemeral=True)):
  ...

/s

[sage tendon]

i think it's also possible to respond twice, just the second time non-ephemerally

[shell radish]

right, but it has a unloaded reference message

which is suboptimal

[sage tendon]

true

[sage tendon]

when would the if not return true

[slate idol]

I'd commented out the second response, though. So while I do have code for that right now it's:

embedVar = discord.Embed(title=titlage, description=response, color=hex)
    await ctx.send(embed=embedVar)
    if bruteskies != True:
        #await ctx.respond(view=RerollView(bot, rpool, pool), ephemeral=True)
        print("this should be a reroll View")```

[shell radish]

maybe if an error is raised

[slate idol]

Frustrating thing is, it's all executing fine, it's just throwing errors.

[shell radish]

then it's probably not fine?

[sage tendon]

can you just show your entire command code once

just send it doesnt matter if its long

[shell radish]

.pastebin

where did all the tags go

.paste

[sly karma]

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

[shell radish]

great

[sage tendon]

not a fan of pasteban tbh

no syntax highlighting makes it awful

[shell radish]

there literally is

[slate idol]

https://mystb.in/160b1367bb571c513d

[sage tendon]

oh wait i think they changed the link the bot sends, it used to be normal pastebin

okay just out of curiosity, since you arent using cogs, how long is your main file

[slate idol]

Too long. I've never taken a programming course so this is all a coblled together behemoth. It was under 800 lines before I got into trouble with Views... now it's 3500 lines

[sage tendon]

holy shit

[shell radish]

I have no idea what I'm supposed to be looking at

[sage tendon]

please please please use cogs

[slate idol]

It was just supposed to be a die roller 😅

Wanna teach an idiot how to?

[sage tendon]

no

https://guide.pycord.dev/popular-topics/cogs

[shell radish]

you're fired /j

[sage tendon]

that would require you to pay me /srs /j

[shell radish]

what's the error again

[slate idol]

lol

[sage tendon]

also yea, looking at your command now, you absolutely have to switch to a database before you release
the current solution is just asking for conflicts

[slate idol]

based

[sage tendon]

#1132206148309749830 message i think

[shell radish]

json's fine for beta tbh

[sage tendon]

thats why i said release

[slate idol]

It was just supposed to be a die roller, then I learned too much.

"Oh I can store one thing... okay a few things... okay a whole dang character sheet.... move over DnD Beyond!"

FIXED

[shell radish]

there's no way we don't have a tag for defer-ing

@sage tendon is the tag just called something else

[sly karma]

Tag not found.

[sage tendon]

sure enough

[sage tendon]

i never use it because i find it pointless imo
but no, idk what its called

[slate idol]

Thanks for all your help folks... and the many tangents ❤️

[sage tendon]

.defer

[sage tendon]

ok well what was the issue now

[slate idol]

Honestly not sure.

It feels like it's disappeared as mysteriously as it appeared. I'll try putting in my terrible json loading again

[sage tendon]

lol

me waiting for the json loading turning out to be the issue all along

[shell radish]

defer definitely helps

[sage tendon]

@discord.Cogs.listener()
  on_application_command(????)
    await ctx.defer()
    await self.bot.process_commands()

Like this right

[shell radish]

what

[sage tendon]

joking lol

[shell radish]

not one line of that makes sense 💀

[sage tendon]

cry about it

[shell radish]

- @discord.Cogs.listener()
+ @discord.Cog.listener() # commands.Cog.listener() may work instead depending on the cog type
- on_application_command(????)
+ async def on_interaction(self, interaction):
-   await ctx.defer()
+   await interaction.response.defer() # all responses are no longer ephemeral unless forced by discord
-   await self.bot.process_commands()
+   await self.bot.process_application_commands(interaction)

[sage tendon]

okay nerd

[shell radish]

and this is a listener which means it doesn't even override the current event

so it doesn't even work

[slate idol]

Ummmm

..... I had two instances of the bot running. I was sitting here trying to figure out how a function I RENAMED was still firing.

[shell radish]

amazing

[slate idol]

[sage tendon]

bruhhhhh

[shell radish]

i reset my bot's token every month (when I had a bot that was actually online)

[sage tendon]

why?

[shell radish]

because security or something

[sage tendon]

whats gonna happen to your token if it only sits on your VPS

if its compromised changing it wont help
and nothing else can happen to your token really

[shell radish]

well, it didn't

[flint talon]

Hello!

I have a features.py file with the following function:

async def mass_ban_check(file_path, ctx, ban_amount: int, seconds_between_bans: int):
    while True:
        with open(f'{file_path}') as json_file:
            data = json.load(json_file)
            baninfo = data['fileinfo']['baninfo']
            print(baninfo)
            bans_within_timeframe = []
            time_frame = timedelta(seconds=seconds_between_bans)
            for i in baninfo:
                current_time = datetime.datetime.now()
                ban_time = baninfo[i]['data']['date']
                print(ban_time)
                if(current_time - ban_time <= time_frame):
                    bans_within_timeframe.append(baninfo)
            
            if len(bans_within_timeframe) >= ban_amount:
                print("Mass banning detected")
                #take action here

        await asyncio.sleep(1)

And then I have main.py where I try to call this function (I have already imported the function correctly):

@bot.command(description="Enable mass banning detection")
async def massbandetection(ctx, ban_amount: int, seconds_between_bans: int):
    await mass_ban_check("data.json", ctx=ctx, ban_amount=ban_amount, seconds_between_bans=seconds_between_bans)
    await ctx.respond("Successfully configured mass banning detection")

And it throws this error:
discord.errors.ApplicationCommandInvokeError: Application Command raised an exception: TypeError: list indices must be integers or slices, not dict

I know that I am accessing the data.json file wrong, but I just can't seem to figure out how to access it right. Here is data.json:

[devout mirage]

is the AutocompleteContext.options value for unrequired options the default value?

[dense summit]

Why this returns true even if the person can't see the channel?
https://paste.pythondiscord.com/6BHQ

[fresh sierra]

works fine for me

[dense summit]

I dont see it idk why

[fresh sierra]

can you show me how do u get the member ?

[dense summit]

this is the whole command:
https://paste.pythondiscord.com/ZOIQ

[shell radish]

the issue is that channel isn’t a complete channel object

[flint talon]

what do you mean

[shell radish]

try fetching/getting it instead

[shell radish]

i don’t see how mass_ban_check works. It seems like it’ll just keep running forever

[dense summit]

getting it worked, im pretty sure it worked fine in the past why now it had to be updated?

[shell radish]

sometimes discord just doesn’t give you the information

[dense summit]

alright thank you very much

one last question what is the difference between fetching and getting a channel?

[shell radish]

one is an api call, another is from cache, which may or may not exist

[fresh sierra]

.tag get_x

[sly karma]

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

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

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

[fresh sierra]

idk who did this one but its really good

[dense summit]

so in my case it's probably better to use api calls as ticket channels probably dont always exist in cache

[shell radish]

it’s generally good to first get from cache then if it doesn’t exist, then fetch

[dense summit]

👍

[flint talon]

yea

thats the point

it keeps running forever

and checks every second

for mass bans

[graceful spindle]

Hi im getting this error

discord.errors.Forbidden: 403 Forbidden (error code: 50001): Missing Access

Could anyone help please?

I have MFA enabled on my acccount
The bot has Administrator priviliges
the bot has scope application.commands

[shell radish]

Do you have guild_ids or debug_guilds anywhere in your code? If so, the bot isn't in one of those servers or the ID is not valid

[graceful spindle]

I do have debug_guilds

The ID is correct

Wait

I feel so stupid I had it set in a config

But i hadnt actually added the lines to actually pull from the config

Thanks for that

[vague plaza]

Yall know how long was the @ everyone markdown bug around for?

The one that will tag everyone but you won't see the @ everyone in the text

[sage tendon]

quite long

discord isn't really known for fixing bugs

[vague plaza]

like a year long or a few years long?

[sage tendon]

longer

[vague plaza]

das crazy

[sage tendon]

not really

I know so many bugs on discord

but even when you report them and they say they know about it they aren't fixed for years

[lofty parcel]

(He's known for mimimi'ing everything about bugs)

[vague plaza]

tell us some that you think are pretty wild

im curious

[sage tendon]

I reported a bug with themes basically on their release day. They say they're aware. Nothing yet.

[quartz umbra]

nothing, but I think I may have solved it

Hello. I need a bit of help with autocomplete in cogs. Right now this is my code (in a Cog class):

    @embed_group.command(
        description="Send an Embed from the defined Embed List (Check source code)"
    )
    @commands.has_permissions(administrator=True)
    async def send(self, ctx: ApplicationContext, embed: discord.Option(str, autocomplete=discord.utils.basic_autocomplete(self.get_embed_names))) -> None:  # type: ignore
        for i in self.LIST:
            if i["name"] != embed:
                continue
            # This is the embed we want to send
            await ctx.channel.send(content=i["content"], embed=i["embed"], view=i["view"])  # type: ignore
            await ctx.respond("Successfully sent embed to this channel", ephemeral=True)

    async def get_embed_names(self, ctx: discord.AutocompleteContext):
        output = []
        for i in self.LIST:
            output.append(i["name"])
        return output

However, I get this error: ```
async def send(self, ctx: ApplicationContext, embed: discord.Option(str, autocomplete=discord.utils.basic_autocomplete(self.get_embed_names))) -> None: # type: ignore
^^^^
NameError: name 'self' is not defined

Can somebody tell me what I'm doing wrong?

[little cobalt]

is that all in a cog?

[quartz umbra]

yep

This is the full file, in case it helps: https://paste.pythondiscord.com/KPHA

[sage tendon]

show the entire cog

nvm im blind sorry

yea you can't use self inside of the function header like that i'm p sure

thats not how OOP works in python

also why is your setup def not bot.add_cog(...) lol

[little cobalt]

lol

[quartz umbra]

i prolly did it wrong

[quartz umbra]

well, i get that now, but then how do you do typehinting?

[sage tendon]

what

[quartz umbra]

omg

not typehinting, like i forget the word

autocomplete

[sage tendon]

I'd recommend putting that into a util class or somewhere

[quartz umbra]

so like id have a util class w that as a function? Say the util class is called AutocompleteUtil or smth and the function is designed the same. Given that I've imported the class, how would I pass that into discord.Option?

[sage tendon]

AutocompleteUtil.get_embed_names lol

the problem is really just that you dont have access to self. inside of the function header

anything else works fine

[quartz umbra]

ok bet

[sage tendon]

or import the function directly by name then its a little shorter

regardless of anything i still recommend using the @discord.option decorator over typehinting

[quartz umbra]

but the issue remains that i'm using self.LIST in that function

[sage tendon]

Put that inside of the autocomplete util class

[quartz umbra]

hmm, ok, thanks

What does this error mean and how to fix it? ```py
File "embed_helper.py", line 14, in <module>
"view": SetActivityView(),
RuntimeError: no running event loop

embed_helper.py ```py
from views.tester_activity_view import SetActivityView
from discord import Embed, EmbedField
import discord

LIST = [
    {
        "name": "set activity",
        "content": "",
        "embed": Embed(
            title="Set Activity Status",
            description="As part of our new testing system, use the 2 buttons below to get tickets to test.",
            color=0x3333FF,
        ),
        "view": SetActivityView(),
    }
]


async def get_embed_names(ctx: discord.AutocompleteContext):
    output = []
    for i in LIST:
        output.append(i["name"])
    return output

can i remove the brackets (SetActivityView() -> SetActivityView) and then use it as:

ctx.respond(view=embed_helper.LIST[0]["view"]())

[sage tendon]

Put it into a class

[quartz umbra]

wdym

[quartz umbra]

this works

Why is my interaction failing with my view even though there is no error in console? (I'm for sure this is the only active token)

[sage tendon]

show the button callback

[quartz umbra]

i will in a sec, but i'm finally getting an error out of this: ```py
discord.errors.NotFound: 404 Not Found (error code: 10062): Unknown interaction

ik to fix this in a command you do `await ctx.defer()`, but what to do in a button callback with only an `Interaction`?

@discord.ui.button(
        label="I'm Online", style=discord.ButtonStyle.primary, emoji="✅"
    )
    async def active_callback(self, button, interaction: discord.Interaction):
        # Check if a tester is active already
        tester_info = firebase_helper.get_tester(interaction.user.id)  # type: ignore incorrect null
        if tester_info == None:
            embed = discord.Embed(title="You're not a tester?!?", color=0xFF3333)
            await interaction.response.send_message(embed=embed, ephemeral=True)
            return
        if tester_info["isActive"]:
            embed = discord.Embed(title="You're already active!", color=0x33FF33)
            await interaction.response.send_message(embed=embed, ephemeral=True)
            return

        # Give the tester the active role
        active_role_id = config_helper.get_rank_role_id("online")
        active_role = interaction.guild.get_role(active_role_id)  # type: ignore it is NOT None

        inactive_role_id = config_helper.get_rank_role_id("offline")
        inactive_role = interaction.guild.get_role(inactive_role_id)  # type: ignore
        if active_role != None:
            await interaction.user.add_roles(active_role, reason="online")  # type: ignore
        if inactive_role != None:
            await interaction.user.remove_roles(inactive_role, reason="online")  # type: ignore
        # Create tickets for the tester
        tickets: list[int] = await self.createTickets(
            interaction, interaction.user, tester_info
        )

        # Update tester doc
        firebase_helper.set_tester_active(interaction.user.id)  # type: ignore
        embed = discord.Embed(
            title="You are now active.",
            description="Check your channels, tickets should have automatically been made and assigned to you.",
            color=0x33FF33,
        )
        await interaction.response.send_message(embed=embed, ephemeral=True)

[sage tendon]

404 typically means you take more than 3 seconds to respond

in which case you have to use await ctx.defer() as the first line in your callback

[quartz umbra]

ik, but there's no ctx you see

[sage tendon]

ah yea interaction.response.defer

[quartz umbra]

bet

now what does this error mean?

discord.errors.InteractionResponded: This interaction has already been responded to before

I think it's coming from this line: await interaction.response.send_message(embed=embed, ephemeral=True), but its definitely from this code block in the callback: ```py
tester_info = firebase_helper.get_tester(interaction.user.id) # type: ignore incorrect null
if tester_info == None:
embed = discord.Embed(title="You're not a tester?!?", color=0xFF3333)
await interaction.response.send_message(embed=embed, ephemeral=True)
return
if tester_info["isActive"]:
embed = discord.Embed(title="You're already active!", color=0x33FF33)
await interaction.response.send_message(embed=embed, ephemeral=True)
return

now though the error seems self explanatory, how could it be responded to before if i've never pressed the button before

[sage tendon]

maybe interaction defers have to be responded to in a different way, no idea

[quartz umbra]

hmm

[sage tendon]

never do much with views, maybe someone else knows

[quartz umbra]

hm, ok, thanks

[sage tendon]

also why do you have #type: ignore everywhere

[quartz umbra]

pylance keeps thinking interaction.user is None

[sage tendon]

vsc?

[quartz umbra]

yea

[sage tendon]

yea vsc is dumb

[errant trout]

(it's technically correct for annoying reasons but just don't use a typechecker lol)

[sage tendon]

because its a union and MIGHT be null?

[errant trout]

no, it's actually defined as None but doesn't know how to interpret the custom property decorator we use

[sage tendon]

ah

[quartz umbra]

well, my issue is definitely with the line: ```py
await interaction.response.send_message(embed=embed, ephemeral=True)

discord.errors.InteractionResponded: This interaction has already been responded to before

[errant trout]

just use interaction.respond

it handles defers for you

[quartz umbra]

1 sec

[errant trout]

(if you defer then it's interaction.followup.send, so we added a generic respond function to streamline it)

[quartz umbra]

got it, let me test interaction.respond rq

yep, back to ```py
discord.errors.NotFound: 404 Not Found (error code: 10062): Unknown interaction

[sage tendon]

you are still deferring right

[quartz umbra]

no, cuz the nelo said you don't need to i think idk

[sage tendon]

no

defer.

[quartz umbra]

ok i'm testing interaction.followup.send() + defer

[sage tendon]

just defer and then respond

bruh

[fresh sierra]

respond will basically use interaction.response if the interaction hasn’t be responded else it will use interaction.followup

So if you use respond u don’t need to care about response or followup

[deft kestrel]

Can i use the auto complete feature based on a server?

(Option)

[sage tendon]

sure

[nova epoch]

Dumb and very late questio but does 2.6 support user installs?

[little cobalt]

read #library-updates

[lapis dock]

yes

[echo wraith]

How can I specify which shard a bot connects to

[errant trout]

shard_ids in your client object https://docs.pycord.dev/en/stable/api/clients.html#discord.AutoShardedClient.shard_ids

[echo wraith]

thanks I cant read

just to be clear, shard_count has to be the total shard count or the count of shards this instance connects to?

[errant trout]

however many you're connecting to

[echo wraith]

yeah but like in total, or with that instance

[errant trout]

uhhh

[echo wraith]

cuz I want to be able to split up the thing in multiple containers

[errant trout]

ah

hmm... probably within that instance? how many guilds are you in

[echo wraith]

idk

I have to check

but enough

And it's not like I want to now make it in multiple containers

I just want to prepare for doing it later

and also have high availability and stuff like that

[errant trout]

the docs only really talk about sharding, beyond that if you're doing multiple instances then i'd presume shard_count is for each individual instance

(not much will happen if you get it wrong anyway)

[echo wraith]

ok that's also easier so better that

[echo wraith]

i guess i'll try and the worst is some downtime

[deft kestrel]

how i can connect the bot to the channel i am in?

[echo wraith]

client = await voicechannel.connect()

or smth

[rugged lodge]

Searched in pycord

discord.VoiceChannel.connect

[echo wraith]

this

[deft kestrel]

yh but how i get my voice channel?

[echo wraith]

are you in a slash command?

[rugged lodge]

Searched in pycord

discord.Member.voice
discord.member.VoiceState
discord.MemberCacheFlags.voice

[echo wraith]

.channel

[deft kestrel]

yes

[shell radish]

        return await ctx.voice_client.move_to(channel)

    await channel.connect()```

[echo wraith]

when can I add @rugged lodge 's rtfm to my user so i can use it in dms and wvweywee

[errant trout]

https://github.com/Dorukyum/Bond

code is right there

[shadow sigil]

how hard is it to turn prefixed commands into slash commands?

[echo wraith]

Thanks

[little cobalt]

Pretty easy why?

[shadow sigil]

mostly just curious

anything i should keep in mind while doing that

[errant trout]

just change ctx.send to ctx.respond

and ctx.message might not be reliable

that's about it

if the command takes more than 3 seconds for the first response, defer at the start

[shadow sigil]

how so?

[shadow sigil]

and what does this mean

[echo wraith]

means you should do

await ctx.defer()

at the top of your command's code if it takes long to process

[shadow sigil]

aha

alright

[errant trout]

interaction commands are a bit different, so it's best not to rely on it - you generally won't need it anyway, there are several shortcuts under ctx

[quartz umbra]

when will self.bot.user.avatar be None in a Cog?

[fresh sierra]

When user will not be cached ig

But it should do None has no attribut avatar ig

[quartz umbra]

This is the code: ```py
embed = discord.Embed(
title="Server PvP Leaderboard",
footer=discord.EmbedFooter(
text="PvP Practice Bot", icon_url=self.bot.user.avatar.url # type: ignore
),
color=discord.Colour.from_rgb(50, 127, 168),
description="See the Top 10 Overall best PvPers below:",
image="attachment://image.png",
)

and the error: ```
text="PvP Practice Bot", icon_url=self.bot.user.avatar.url  # type: ignore
                                      ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
AttributeError: 'NoneType' object has no attribute 'url'

[errant trout]

eh

[errant trout]

use ctx.me instead

but also, display_avatar will guarantee an avatar is returned by using a default avatar if for some reason the user one doesn't exist

[flat wind]

Hello,
What is the best practice to initialize aiosqlite database in discord bot ? I am actually using an asyncio.run() function but it seems to not be the right method because it breaks all tasks.loop() (I don't really know because I am not using loops but someone told me this)

[rugged lodge]

Searched in pycord

discord.Bot.start
discord.ext.commands.Bot.start

[echo wraith]

use await bot.start()

so make an async def main function

in there you put

1. Your database logic
2. await bot.start()

then if __name__ == "__main__" you asyncio.run(main())

[flat wind]

async def main():
    bot.db, bot.cursor = await connect_database()
    # Load cogs
    for filename in os.listdir('./cogs'):
        if filename.endswith('.py'):
            bot.load_extension(f'cogs.{filename[:-3]}')

    # Run the bot
    bot.start(TOKEN)

if __name__ == '__main__':
    asyncio.run(main())

[echo wraith]

you should put await before bot.start

other than that, yeah that should work I think

[flat wind]

if I put the await on the bot.start, the bot is never ready

[echo wraith]

uh

[flat wind]

but if I don't put it, everything work lol

[echo wraith]

that is wierd

[echo wraith]

so this code is working?

[flat wind]

weird, it does not work anymore.... I will troubleshoot from myself

[quartz umbra]

Okay

[flat wind]

not anymore, but the bot is never ready with the await too

[echo wraith]

what do you mean by never ready? do you have a print statement in your on_ready? Also, could you add some logging in your async def main funtion to see if the database connection does actually completes, etc.? Also enable logging if not done already

.tag logging

[sly karma]

https://docs.pycord.dev/en/stable/logging.html

[flat wind]

normally, python should follow the order in main function and all cogs are loading, the database should be working so. And I have print in on_ready and in on_shard_ready. None of them are printing

[echo wraith]

yeah but if it dosen't work it means we aren't in a "normally" condition

my goal is to see if bot.start actually dosen't do anything, of it this:

    bot.db, bot.cursor = await connect_database()
    # Load cogs
    for filename in os.listdir('./cogs'):
        if filename.endswith('.py'):
            bot.load_extension(f'cogs.{filename[:-3]}')

for some reason does not complete and blocks the start

furthermore, if you enable info logging like explained in the link above, you will clearly see if bot.start is being executed or not

and make sure to keep await on bot.start

[flat wind]

yes I kept it. I have a meeting for my work and will get back ASAP

[echo wraith]

sure

[flat wind]

the logging does not do anything more than printing the cogs prints, and the result of a print of bot.db and bot.cursor is <Connection(Thread-1, started 137563283130048)> <aiosqlite.cursor.Cursor object at 0x7d1cf3405010>. I have also added prints after cogs and it works, but it does not pass the start. I have added a print after too

async def main():
    bot.db, bot.cursor = await connect_database()
    print(bot.db, bot.cursor)
    # Load cogs
    for filename in os.listdir('./cogs'):
        if filename.endswith('.py'):
            bot.load_extension(f'cogs.{filename[:-3]}')
    print('===== Cogs are loaded ! =====')
    # Run the bot
    await bot.start(TOKEN)
    print('===== Bot is running ! =====')

[echo wraith]

yeah but if you enable the python logs, what do they say?

explained in

.tag logging

[sly karma]

https://docs.pycord.dev/en/stable/logging.html

[echo wraith]

import logging

logging.basicConfig(level=logging.INFO)

[flat wind]

INFO:discord.client:logging in using static token

and I have a warning about PyNaCl for the voice but I personaly don't care

[echo wraith]

yeah that you can ignore

[flat wind]

and this after 10secs :

[echo wraith]

what loop tasks do you set up

can you show me

[flat wind]

I don't have any loop

[echo wraith]

you said above that you had tasks

or I missunderstood?

wait no I missread mb

can you show me your on_ready and on_shard_ready then?

any any other listener that you might have (on_message, etc...)?

[flat wind]

(I don't really know because I am not using loops but someone told me this)

I just wanted the best practice for initializing an aiosqlite db without breaking anything in case I need it in the future

[echo wraith]

basically this means that you are running somewhere a blocking code in an asyncronous environment

[flat wind]

Yeah I have on_raw_reaction_add and on_message.

Here is my on_shard_connect :

# On shard connect
@bot.event
async def on_shard_connect(shard_id):

@flat wind can you set debug=True in your asyncio.run(main())

[echo wraith]

that looks right tho

@flat wind What I think is that somewhere in your code, there is a piece of blocking code. Can you try adding one cog at a time and see when it stops working? Like you test with one, then two, etc... And also see if it works with no cogs.

[flat wind]

Okay I will test with no cogs and see

[sage tendon]

or just read the code and find the blocking bit

[flat wind]

without cogs it does not start either, this means the error is in the main file

[echo wraith]

could you send you main file entirely

[flat wind]

I prefer in DMs if it does not bother you

[echo wraith]

np

[flat wind]

sent ✅

[echo wraith]

how many servers is your bot in

the one you are trying to run rn

[flat wind]

1, because it is the "test version" of my real bot in around 13k servers

[echo wraith]

you should not use AutoShardedBot if the server count is that low

add a check to only use it in prod

[flat wind]

always worked before the edits I have just made with you today

I know it is not the best practice, but this is only for a test

[sage tendon]

that's not the issue

[echo wraith]

ik I have other things I will tell you in dm

[flat wind]

okay np, waiting your DM

[shadow sigil]

is there a way to deal with slash command changes not showing up or do you just have to restart discord

[sage tendon]

restart

takes 3 seconds lol it's not a big deal

and you typically don't add commands every 2 minutes

[shadow sigil]

i mean first of all, i actually am adding commands every 2 minutes
and even when i'm not, i'm probably changing them every 2 minutes

[sage tendon]

code changes don't count btw

[shadow sigil]

they don't, but description, autocomplete, and stuff like that seems to

[sage tendon]

yea but I mean
again
typically you don't change that all that often

[shadow sigil]

usually

does this library have support for application emojis?

[sage tendon]

not in 2.6 yet, but it's in master im p sure

[shadow sigil]

on an unrelated note, i just realized what this pfp is lol

[sage tendon]

what pfp

[shadow sigil]

yours

[sage tendon]

oh, lol

[shadow sigil]

so, soon™️

[sage tendon]

you can use it now if you want to

[errant trout]

not on master yet, if you REALLY want it there are instructions here #1132206148309749830 message

[sage tendon]

ah nvm

thought it got merged

[errant trout]

sometime

[shadow sigil]

eventually™️

[echo wraith]

[flint talon]

cant make required option

@discord.option(
name="spam",
description="Mention spam?",
choices=["Yes", "No"],
default="Yes",
required=True
)

just shows up as 3 optional in slash command

[sage tendon]

required=True isnt needed

and restart discord to see any changes

[flint talon]

I do

[sage tendon]

and make sure to put required options before optional ones

[flint talon]

I restart the app and discord every time

[flint talon]

and yes the rquired is before

[sage tendon]

show your code and what you see in discord

also, remove the default

that might be the issue

[flint talon]

default what

[sage tendon]

the default kwarg

[lapis dock]

If it is required it cannot have a default. So that is most likly the issue.

[stray cargo]

How do i install pycord? Most of the guide is all over the place,and as a beginner,i feel overwhealmed

[tidal vessel]

One question, what is the difference between View.parent.message and View.message?

Do they both allow me to access the View object's message?

[tidal vessel]

pip install py-cord In the terminal

[lofty parcel]

Looks like View.parent returns an interaction (which then you can get the message) and View.message is the message the View is attached to

I'd assume View.parent wouldn't work for normal messages

[tidal vessel]

In the case of on_timeout() event, if I want to edit the message when the view times out, does it directly access View.message?

async def on_timeout(self):
  await self.message.edit(view=self)

[lofty parcel]

Yes. self is your view.

[tidal vessel]

ok, thank you very much!

[lofty parcel]

? https://docs.pycord.dev/en/master/installing.html

As toothy said, that's literally what the docs say at the beginning.

And so does the guide
https://guide.pycord.dev/installation#fresh-installation

[quartz relic]

stupid question, has pycord made a way to handle/use application emojis?

ty!

[chrome plover]

hello, I have a interaction setup where after a user interacts with a button I have it defer on the first line and then later on I want to send a modal but because I have already deferred I'm not able to send the modal as it can't use followup.

Am I forced to just remove the earlier defer?

[lofty parcel]

Yes.

[chrome plover]

hmm

[lofty parcel]

You can't defer and send a modal. The modal must be the first response.

[chrome plover]

I just feel like that will cause people issues with slower internet

Because I have some processes before I have to use the modal

[lofty parcel]

Do the processes outside the button.

[chrome plover]

hmm

I guess so

yea

alright thanks

[river oriole]

How can I get all Messages from a Thread?

[sage tendon]

p sure you can just use .history just like for a channel

[river oriole]

Oh right. Not sure how I missed this. Thank you

[shadow sigil]

is this syntax correct?
https://mystb.in/d6d7a8f00fdc8bc393

[sage tendon]

if it's so little code you can just send it here

and no

name and type are positional, just do
discord.option("name", str, autocomplete=...

the second option is right but you can just use str instead of the slash command option type, it's shorter

oh and if you use the decorator, remove the Option typehint in the function header

[shadow sigil]

it didn't feel like very little code
oh well

[sage tendon]

here, quite a big example from my bot

[shadow sigil]

    @discord.slash_command(name="image")
    @discord.option(
        "name",
        str,
        autocomplete=discord.utils.basic_autocomplete(single_image_name),
    )
    @discord.option(
        "image",
        str,
        choices=["image", "thumbnail", "none"],
    )
    @discord.option(
        "show", str, autocomplete=discord.utils.basic_autocomplete(single_image_show)
    )
    async def single_image(
        self,
        ctx: discord.ApplicationContext,
        name: str = None,
        image: str = "image",
        show: str = None,
    ) -> None:
```so more like this?

[sage tendon]

yes

but you don't have to do = None, it'll be None by default

and if you want to you can leave the str away entirely in the decorator like I did, string is the default option type

[shadow sigil]

alright

[shadow sigil]

also, when i remove the = Nones, it complains about having non-default arguments after default arguments

[sage tendon]

ah
yea I never put defaults in the function header, I just use the decorator

[shadow sigil]

also, how does the name work?

[sage tendon]

?

where

[shadow sigil]

in discord.option

[sage tendon]

I mean you're already using it lol

wdym

[shadow sigil]

i guess this is more of a question of how @discord.option works

does name have to be the same as the argument name in the function

[sage tendon]

no

[shadow sigil]

or is it just the first option coresponds to the first argument, second option - second argument, etc

[sage tendon]

if you set a name that's different from the parameter name, you can use parameter_name= to match it onto the parameter

[shadow sigil]

aha, okay

[sage tendon]

no, it matches by name

[shadow sigil]

adds an option with the name of the self/context parameters

[solid sapphire]

Hi! I've discovered discord.Bot.slash_group decorator, but I'm having some issues with using it. Can someone please help me?
My code:

import discord

bot = discord.Bot()


@bot.slash_group()
async def hello(ctx):
    await ctx.respond("Hello!")

DISCORD_TOKEN = ''
bot.run(DISCORD_TOKEN)

I'm getting:

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "C:\Users\Admin\PycharmProjects\discordBots\main.py", line 7, in <module>
    async def hello(ctx):
  File "C:\Users\Admin\PycharmProjects\discordBots\.venv\lib\site-packages\discord\bot.py", line 1038, in inner
    group = cls(
TypeError: hello() got an unexpected keyword argument 'guild_ids'

[sage tendon]

just use the normal way of making slashcommand groups, never seen the decorator be used

[solid sapphire]

That is what I am going to do if I'm unable to figure out what is wrong. I've been searching for someone having the same issue and I've discovered someone suggesting using it #977541067006152764 message

[sage tendon]

group = discord.SlashCommandGroup(...)

@group.command()
async def...

[shut fox]

how to get roll id with role name?

[sage tendon]

you cant because its not unique, for all i know

why do you only have the name?

[sage tendon]

well you could go through all the guild's roles and then search for the name
but again, role names aren't unique

[shut fox]

class SelectMenu(view):
*options
member.addroles(select.values[0])

[sage tendon]

yea, again, why do you only have the name

select menus can be role selections

[solid sapphire]

okay, then another question:

is there any way to have a slash group and a slash command named the same?
e.g.
/hello
/hello everyone

[sage tendon]

no

[solid sapphire]

I thought it might be using that decorator since it is how prefixed command discord.ext.commands.Bot.group() decorator work

since it decorates some callback function

you can use the docs search :>

[shadow sigil]

is there a way to stop the advancing to the next parameter when selecting an option on a slash command?

[sage tendon]

yea

just hit enter lol

dont press tab

[shadow sigil]

yeah, even if press enter it still does that

as well as clicking on an option

[sage tendon]

then that option is required

[shadow sigil]

i feel like you're misunderstanding what i mean by option

[sage tendon]

then tell me

or show, rather

[shadow sigil]

clicking on one of these makes the cursor go to the next parameter (if there is one)

[sage tendon]

that's a choice

and just hit back once

[shadow sigil]

i mean
i guess

it's just a bit annoying to have to do that

[sage tendon]

blame discord

typically you put the least oftenly used options at the end so that isnt usually an issue

[shadow sigil]

[sage tendon]

and it only happens with choices so

imo its better to have this than not

would be annoying otherwise

[shadow sigil]

i tried it on mobile and how it works there is especially annoying lmao

[sage tendon]

general rule on discord, dont use mobile

[shadow sigil]

so true

[fresh sierra]

how should i typehint that and what is wrong about the wrapper ?

Argument of type "(ctx: LumabotContext) -> bool" cannot be assigned to parameter "predicate" of type "Check" in function "check"

```

[shell radish]

Callable[bool]

[fresh sierra]

idk if its my setting or not

[shell radish]

nvm I forgor how Callable works

it's Callable[context, bool]

[sage tendon]

how can you typehint the callable's return type tho

[shell radish]

context should probably be like [Union[ApplicationContext, commands.Context, bridge.Context]]

[sage tendon]

or like is it always the last parameter there

[shell radish]

yeah it's always the last one

[[args], return_type]

I don't know what language I'm using anymore

[fresh sierra]

like so you mean ?

because it still return that error

[shell radish]

that is what docs says check returns

[fresh sierra]

well all of that is losing me

[lofty hedge]

this happens after i unload a cog https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/1128743742686380032/1271192096685949001/Discord_giljOOKZJx.png?ex=66b67165&is=66b51fe5&hm=f3e5a89b457d2a03ec5c1f509e40c6acd36bfa337f45ad09a2eda2044010601a& how can i do a custom response instead.

[shadow sigil]

what does an option with type discord.SlashCommandOptionType.channel give?

[sage tendon]

all channels i suppose

[shadow sigil]

what does it give to the parameter

[errant trout]

wdym

[sage tendon]

its an enum

probably just some number

[errant trout]

for red messages you can't give a custom error

[lofty hedge]

damn

[sage tendon]

unknown integration means you need to restart discord i think

[shadow sigil]

how can you check if the person using a command has a certain permission (like manage server)

[echo wraith]

.rtfm discord.default_permission

[sly karma]

1 results

discord.commands.default_permissions

[echo wraith]

maybe this?

it allows the admins to change the permission needed easily to allow more flexibility

[shadow sigil]

alright

[sage tendon]

yes, you should use that one

[shadow sigil]

also, is there a type or something for all guild channels

[sage tendon]

you dont have permissions to do that

really simple

[echo wraith]

a list of that probably since it's all guild channels

[echo wraith]

your bot's highest role is probably lower than the role you're trying to add

[shut fox]

rly

[sage tendon]

i mean thats a basic thing about permissions on discord

or anywhere really

[shell radish]

or the person that you're trying to to modify has higher privileges than your bot

[shadow sigil]

can ctx.respond be used for ephemeral messages?

[sage tendon]

yes

[shadow sigil]

do you just put ephemeral=True in it?

[sage tendon]

yes

[shadow sigil]

okay

[lapis dock]

@frigid topaz you can have a maximum of 5 rows of components per message.
A select menu takes up and entire row. You can put 5 buttons in 1 row.

So maximum of 5 selects or 25 buttons or a combination

Also there are special select menu types for roles and channels. So you dont have to fill your own and be limited to 25 per select.

That might solve your issue

[shadow sigil]

can a button callback "return" a value or something like that

[errant trout]

no, but what are you trying to do

there's view.wait which waits for a view to stop - if you manipulate this correctly, it'd more or less get the result you desire

[shadow sigil]

more or less, a function that creates a view, and if the user clicks button A, then X happens, but if the user clicks button B, then Y happens.
A and B would be the same, but X and Y differ depending on where it's called

[errant trout]

so you don't want to use callbacks for the rest of the logic?

[shadow sigil]

more so i don't know how i would use them

[errant trout]

so there's a few relevant examples here

[rugged lodge]

Here's the counter example.

[errant trout]

this demonstrates using a View class with button decorators, logic in the callback

[rugged lodge]

Here's the button roles example.

[errant trout]

this is a bit more complex using Button subclassing

[rugged lodge]

Here's the confirm example.

[errant trout]

and this is the alternative solution, which uses view.wait to do all the logic in the original function

(if you're familiar with Bot.wait_for, it's similar)

[shadow sigil]

huh
okay

[river oriole]

I have a SlashCommandGroup with checks but for some reason they don't run for commands in that group

That is the SlashCommandGroup

mm = SlashCommandGroup(
        name="modmail",
        description="Commands related to ModMail",
        checks=[commands.guild_only(), isStaff()],
    )

And this the isStaff predicate

async def staffPredicate(ctx: commands.Context) -> bool:
    try:
        assert CONFIG.STAFF_ROLE_ID in [role.id for role in ctx.author.roles]
    except AssertionError:
        raise notStaffMember("You are not a staff")

    return True


def isStaff() -> bool:
    return commands.check(predicate=staffPredicate)

Does anyone know why it doesn't work?

[errant trout]

does it work if you don't call them

[river oriole]

The commands itself work. But the check isnt running

[errant trout]

as in, remove the () in checks

i might be completely wrong though

[river oriole]

oh

[errant trout]

forgot whether it's necessary

[river oriole]

Throws this error when I dont have it as function

TypeError: guild_only() takes 0 positional arguments but 1 was given

[errant trout]

the example shows commands.guild_only().predicate instead i guess...?

so perhaps it takes predicates directly

(also aside, you don't really need the guild_only check because you could set guild_only=True instead)

[river oriole]

oh true. forgot about that

It fails when I dont have it as function. When I use the predicate directly for my custom one, then it needs the context as arg

[shadow sigil]

alright, well, i did this, and the buttons work, but the interaction gives a This interaction failed

[shadow sigil]

hm
is it possible to send a follow up message that has the [user] used [command] rather than being a reply to the previous message

[shell radish]

no

[shadow sigil]

what shows up to other users when the first message is ephemeral, while the follow up isn't?

[shell radish]

followups to completed responses cannot be ephemeral

[shadow sigil]

...what

[shell radish]

what what?

[shadow sigil]

that doesn't answer my question and i have little clue what "completed responses" means

[shell radish]

do you know what a response to an interaction is?

[shadow sigil]

maybe?
and i was able to send a follow up that is also ephemeral

[shadow sigil]

what is View.to_components?

[errant trout]

nah it can

[errant trout]

if the initial response is ephemeral but the followup isn't, users will just see "Original message deleted"

[errant trout]

it's only used in the http request for sending messages/responses, components is how discord interprets views

(or rather, View is Pycord's way of making components easier to manage)

[shadow sigil]

is there a simple way to change the color of all the buttons when one of them is clicked?

[errant trout]

loop through view.children

then just interaction.edit with the updated view

[shadow sigil]

alright, thanks

[tidal vessel]

Can anyone help me with this problem?
I try to access the message containing the View and the message contains a single embed but it returns NoneType
Am I doing something wrong? Or should I access the embed another way?

[little cobalt]

self.message can be None

[tidal vessel]

So would I have to pass the embed directly to the class parameters? 🤔

[little cobalt]

you should check for it if its None or not

[tidal vessel]

If there is none, is there another way to receive the embedded message?

Sorry, I'm not familiar with Views yet 🥲

[lapis dock]

Can you show the line where you originally send the embed/view?

Message should not be None if you are sending the message at the same time as the view

[tidal vessel]

await ctx.respond(content=f"Hey! {user.mention}", embed=embed, view=buttons)

[tidal vessel]

oh

[lapis dock]

Strange. I guess you can pass the emved to the view as a backup

[tidal vessel]

As a parameter in the class?
I thought about that solution but wanted to know if there was a more direct way to fix it 😅

[lapis dock]

Im not sure why self.message is returning None. I thought it was that you were sending it as a separate message but that is not the case. It is late for me but I can look at it tomorrow morning to see if there is a better solution.

As a parameter in the class?
yes

[tidal vessel]

Well, thanks, for now I'll pass the embedded message directly to the class

[shadow sigil]

is there a way to check if a response has already been sent

[errant trout]

response.is_done()

(Pls read the docs)

[shadow sigil]

i get read the docs but i already checked like 3 different places where i would have expected to find something and didn't

[river oriole]

Is there a way to have options only for a prefix command and not for the slash variant when using bridgecommands?

[fresh sierra]

No there isn’t

The purpose of bridge is to make both thing

But you can still handle than in the command itself

With if ctx.is_app :

[river oriole]

Yeah but that expects the Options then. My goal is to have a prefix command like

!tags add name content

and as slashcommand just /tags add

The SlashCommand should open a Modal which handles the input

[sage tendon]

yea that's not possible unless you separate the command into prefix and slash

[river oriole]

I see. Is there a way to add Commands to the BridgeGroup?

Like

@bridge.bridge_group(guild_only=True)
async def tags(self, ctx: bridge.BridgeContext):
    pass
@commands.slash_command()
async def slash_add(self, ctx: discord.ApplicationContext):
    pass
@commands.command()
async def prefix_add(self, ctx: commands.Context):
    pass
add = bridge.BridgeCommand(
    name="add",
    description="Adds a tag",
    slash_variant=slash_add,
    ext_variant=prefix_add,
)
tags.subcommands.append(add)

[fresh sierra]

@tags.command()

[river oriole]

Yeah but that adds it as BridgeCommand. I want to map it by myself. So that I can have one version with options and the other without

[errant trout]

just

don't use bridge then

[river oriole]

Well i want to have multiple subcommands in the group

Like

• Tags delete
• Tags list
  And only 2 subcommands should be different

[errant trout]

bridge is mainly just a wrapper for command compatibility across prefix and slash, if you're trying to customize each variant it isn't really designed for it

[river oriole]

Fair tho

[errant trout]

so it might be a little cumbersome, but for anything more complex you're better off not using it
