could that be the cause of this?

error:
discord.errors.ApplicationCommandInvokeError: Application Command raised an exception: AttributeError: 'ApplicationContext' object has no attribute 'reply'

#

code:
`import discord

bot = discord.Bot()

@bot.event
async def on_ready():
print(f"{bot.user} is ready and online!")

@bot.command(description="Pong!")
async def ping(ctx: discord.ApplicationContext):
await ctx.reply("Pong! Latency is " + str(bot.latency))`

#

oh wait

#

im dumb

#

its respond not reply

lapis dock
#

Btw for future reference you have use 3 backticks to make multiline code blocks look nicer

sly karmaBOT
#

Please put your code in a code block:
```py
Here is your Code
```

That makes reading code in Discord a lot easier:

print("This is an example.")
unique wyvern

👍 thanks again!

echo wraith
#

how come is it that sometimes discord.Bot.latency is "infinity" ?

silk spire
echo wraith
#

That's weird, as I'm accessing it only after bot startup... Oh well

latent viper
#

been a while since I touched my bot. Need to disable some commands temporarily, how do I do that? adding disabled=True doesn't seem to do anything, or I need to wait a while?

#

having my cmds in a cog, here's an example ```
class SlashCommandsMS(commands.Cog):
def init(self, bot):
self.bot = bot
...
ms_favorites = ms.create_subgroup(
"favorites", description="Show, add or remove your server favorites."
)
...
@ms_favorites.command()
async def show(self, ctx, enabled=False) -> None:
"""Show your server favorites."""

    await ctx.defer(ephemeral=True)

    user_id = str(ctx.user.id)
    user_favorites = await db.get_favorites(user_id)

...```

sage tendon
#

you can't really disable commands other than by changing their code to just not work afaik

latent viper
#

but that would break my current comments 😦

sage tendon
#

just add return await ctx.respond("...") as the first line?

latent viper
#

smt without responding any text? ctx.defer()?

sage tendon
#

the dots meant for you to just put some useful message there

latent viper
#

right

sage tendon
#

oh, no you can't respond just with an empty message

#

either just remove the command entirely so it doesn't exist anymore or do this, those are the two alternatives

latent viper
#

aite, I'll respond with 'this is currently disabled' or smt

#

thx

Is there a comprehensive guide for using autoshardedclient?

#

I am moving a bot to use shards (on roughly 2400 servers now) and the bot is using all sorts of event listeners (on_ready, on_guild_remove, on_resume, on_disconnect) as well as starting async task loops on the first time on_ready runs. I will appreciate any insight you guys have 🙏

lapis dock
sage tendon
#

yea it subclasses the normal bot classes (one of them, idk which exactly) but nothing should change or break if you switch

lapis dock
#

I thought there was something about caching as well, like each shard has a separate cache but I cant remember

lament totem
#

I think I'm not using the cache at all (using chunk_guilds_at_startup=False, member_cache_flags=discord.MemberCacheFlags.none())

#

So I don't need to replace on_ready for on_shard_ready for example?

sage tendon
#

im p sure on_ready is called when all shards are ready so no

lament totem
#

Do you know about on_connect/ on_disconnect / on_resume when sharding? I don't quite understand when they would be invoked

#

since there's multiple connections at once

fresh sierra
#

For all event like on_rezdy, on_connect etc

#

(In my memory it says it’s triggered every time but I’m not quite sure for the ln_rezdy)

lapis dock
#

https://docs.pycord.dev/en/stable/api/events.html#connection
It looks like there is an on_shard_x version of some of the events. My guess is the ones that dont have a shard version work the same. You are right, the docs should be more clear about what sharding entails.
I have not used sharding so I am not super knowledgeable about it

sage tendon
#

the docs are probably really sparse because almost no one has a bot that is big enough to be sharded

lapis dock
#

Does not mean that they should be sparse tho. ;)

errant trout
errant trout
#

because of that, pycord includes shard-specific events; e.g. if shard 2 disconnects, both on_disconnect() and on_shard_disconnect(2) will be fired

#

this also applies to on_connect and on_resumed, but on_ready is different; on_shard_ready(id) will fire for individual shards, and when ALL shards are considered ready on_ready() will fire

lament totem
lapis dock
#

Nelo is the best ♥️

lament totem
#

One last thing I don't quite get is, if I run (perhaps not needed right now) multiple processes with multiple shards each. If I do client.guilds on any of these processes, will this get me the all the guilds the bot is in, or just the ones corresponding to the shard cluster?

#

as part of the bot functions it logs some stats periodically of each server on a db, so I'm wondering if I will need to do this on for example only the process with shard 0 or maybe will have to do it in a decentralized manner later on

errant trout
lament totem

I see now, thank you 😄

Hi it's been a while ! I'm having a weird bug and I don't know if I'm doing something wrong here.

I have a /help command and cog owner. The only way to show the commands of the cog owner and to use them is to match a check which here is being the bot's owner or an admin of the guild.

One of my user who's the administator of a guild see the commands in the help but can't execute them, here is the two code snippets (help then cog check) :

sage tendon
#

you cant limit showing slash commands to only certain people

#

you can limit it to roles inside of discord tho

#

admins are exempt however

dawn prism
# sage tendon you cant limit showing slash commands to only certain people

Not what I'm aiming, the /help command list the commands of each cog so I just skip the cog if its not an owner. My admin commands are hidden to people, I just dont want them to be able to list them.

Its just that I was using the cog_check method to avoid having to write @discord.default_permissions() everytime

#

And I'm wondering why the same code snippet await self.bot.is_owner() or ctx.author.guild_permissions.administrator does not work in different cases

sage tendon
#

ah

lapis dock
#

So it works properly in the cog check but it lists it for everyone in the help command?

Are you sure your logic is correct? What is josix_cog.isOwner?

dawn prism
dawn prism
#

That's why my first thought is that it might come from ctx.author.guild_permissions.administrator but it's weird. The only thing that comes to my mind is that the user it also the server owner but it still admin perms

sage tendon
#

guild owners have admin

lapis dock
#

For debugging purposes can you print both of the tests in the check

dawn prism
#

I'll do that tomorrow, in my cases (bot owner) both are true which is the epxected behaviour

How can you make your app work like this?

those are message commands

You can link slash commands, but can you link them with arguments pre-filled?

This isn't really Py-cord, but I shall ask anyways because it is Python and Discord related:

I would like to make a script to send a message to a specific channel every x duration. I have accomplished this, working fine and as-intended after testing, but my main concern is the Discord ToS... is there any limitations to using scripts like these?

TIA :)

little cobalt
#

and do you use the discord API for it?

nova epoch
#

It's my personal account (though I used an alt for testing in case of ToS), using [{BASE_URL}](https://discord.com/api/v10)/channels/{chID}/messages.

Even with an alt lmao

That is something a normal bot can do just fine, there is no reason to use a user token unless it is for malicious purposes

Why is it not possible to update the Paginator in a Paginator class class CustomPaginator(Paginator): if it has been sent ephemeral?
That must work somehow? When I click on the Next button, it is also edited 🤔

async def update_pages(self):
   self.filtered_cards = self.filter_cards_by_generation()
   pages = self.create_pages()
   await self.update(
       pages=pages,
       use_default_buttons=False,
       custom_buttons=[self.prev_button, self.page_indicator, self.next_button],
       show_disabled=True,
       show_indicator=True,
       loop_pages=False,
       custom_view=self.custom_view,
   )

I then always get Message not Found

hazy turret
#

When I try it this way, it works:

paginator = CustomPaginator(self.bot)
await paginator.respond(ctx.interaction, ephemeral=True)
await asyncio.sleep(3)
await paginator.update(show_disabled=True, show_indicator=False, use_default_buttons=True)

When I try to use the update_pages function in the Paginator class I always get:
discord.errors.NotFound: 404 Not Found (error code: 10008): Unknown Message

class CustomPaginator(Paginator):
    def __init__(self, bot: discord.Bot):
        self.bot = bot
        self.custom_view = CustomSortView(self)

        super().__init__(
            pages=self.create_pages(),
            use_default_buttons=True,
            show_disabled=True,
            show_indicator=True,
            loop_pages=False,
            custom_view=self.custom_view,
        )

    async def update_pages(self):
        pages = self.create_pages()
        await self.update(
            pages=pages,
            use_default_buttons=True,
            show_disabled=True,
            show_indicator=True,
            loop_pages=False,
            custom_view=self.custom_view,
        )
lapis dock
#

try passing interaction into self.update

hazy turret
# lapis dock try passing `interaction` into `self.update`

What should I do with it then?
Because that's not the only way it works

    async def update_pages(self, interaction):
        pages = self.create_pages()
        await self.update(
            pages=pages,
            use_default_buttons=True,
            show_disabled=True,
            show_indicator=True,
            loop_pages=False,
            custom_view=self.custom_view,
        )```
lapis dock
#

Pass it into self.update as well. You could also have it default to None when you are not using it in the context of a deferred message

hazy turret
lapis dock
#

Hmm, I think this might be a limitation of ext.pages. It does not handle ephemeral messages very well.
I have to go for now though sorry

hazy turret
lapis dock
#

you can pass current_page to the update method

hazy turret
lapis dock
#

You should be able to

hazy turret
# lapis dock You should be able to

Okay, very good. It worked.
If I want to change the content of the embeds then this only works via the update() function or?
I have the problem that I change the order of the embeds from the Paginator and move them one forward or backward using the button. Then of course I have to recreate the embed and update the Paginator so that the new order is displayed. That works so far.
But I would like to have it so that I am then directly back on the page that I have moved and I currently do that via goto_page() but that then solves
This interaction has already been responded to before
is triggered.
If I set current_page in the update function, then I don't end up on the page that I moved but on the page that is then at the position. So if I move from 3 to 2 I want to end up at 2 after the update but with current_page I end up at 3 again.

    @discord.ui.button(label="Annuler", style=discord.ButtonStyle.danger)
    async def cancel(self, button, interaction: discord.Interaction):
        self.disable_all_items()  
        await interaction.response.edit_message(view=self)

According to the guide, this is supposed to disable all buttons. But it gives this error :
discord.errors.NotFound: 404 Not Found (error code: 10062): Unknown interaction

Can anyone help ?

is it an ephemeral message?

You need to install audioop-lts

#

As the audioop module was removed from the stdlib

ebon swift
#

hooo I didn't knew that, is it written somewhere in the doc ? (just curious if I missed it)

sage tendon
#

no

ebon swift
#

will audioop-lts at some point be a dependency of py-cord ?

sage tendon
#

no

#

itll be fixed in 2.7

ebon swift
#

okay thank you very much for those answers, as always you give short straight to the points answers 👌

It doesn't fix the underlying issue that python uses a now-removed and previously-deprecated feature of the standard library

ebon swift
sage tendon

i'm pretty sure the fixed implementation is already on master anyway

obsidian blaze
ebon swift
#

quick questions : is it normal that even if there is no place my bot is up (I shutted it down a few mins ago) , the bot shows it's up and commands are still available and running ?

little cobalt
#

after that if the bot is still running, do a token reset

echo wraith
ebon swift
#

I swear I'm reading my code line by line to check if my token has leaked

little cobalt
#

You can do a force shutdown with a Token reset

shell radish
ebon swift
sage tendon
#

yknow, you can just search for the token in your project files?

#

or as zervy said, just reset the token

ebon swift
ebon swift
sage tendon
#

why would someone who has your bot token clone your bot repo and run your bot

ebon swift
#

I work in cybersecurity and make some CTFs challenges, some participant who know my github often browse my code in hope to find challenges solves before competition starts

sage tendon
#

not even comparable at all

ebon swift
#

still it already happened

#

and I was jsut wondering if it was mostly possible that it was an error on my side or that discord somehow when bot is able to run the most simple commands that don't require any outside discord interactions

sage tendon
#

you just have a rogue terminal still running on your pc, its nothing

ebon swift
#

okay I'll check that weird that it still shows up after rebooting my computer tho, I'll have a look thank u

sage tendon
#

VPS?

ebon swift
#

self hosted on mini pc

#

rn I'm less freaking out cause yes I can just token reset but I'm getting really curious if no one is running it where is it running x)

sage tendon
#

just reset the token, then the problem is solved

ebon swift
#

found it

#

really dum situation , forget about me burries himself

sage tendon
#

what was it

nova epoch
#

Looking for a solution to read the config.yml file ONCE, but being able to use it in the main.py along with all other cogs (there is only one at the moment, but there will be 8+). Directory structure is in the screenshot attached. TIA!

image.png
ebon swift
#

thank you for talking about VPS, I add an old VPS which I used for testing purposes, I tested the bot on it once to debug some firewall issues on my network , I gave ownership of the VPS to a friend when he booted it up the docker service booted up too....

little cobalt
ebon swift
#

I asked him to compose down the bot

nova epoch
sage tendon
#

load it and save it as a bot attribute in main.py

ebon swift
nova epoch
#

Using bot['attribute blah blah'] = value?

sage tendon
#

bot.attr should work

nova epoch
#

oooh okay, one sec lemme try it rq

#

Works (kinda) as intended so I shall do some playing around and see what I can do, thank you :D

errant trout
ebon swift
#

Really?

errant trout
#

yes

ebon swift
#

That's op ! Are you notified ?

errant trout
#

pretty sure? haven't tried it myself

#

iirc the admins here also have a command that posts tokens people post in help threads to a github gist to forcefully reset it

Cog.listener() is the right way for me.
For example

can bots fetch this somehow?

Are there any alternative ways to join other than invites and server discovery?

theres a lot of stuff bots cant get, even indirectly

sage tendon
frail basin

these are the official ones

clan servers, yknow, with the dumb tags next to ones name

Fucking discord

sage tendon
echo wraith
#

😭

sage tendon
#

nice embed dipshit

round heart
#

Yes let’s rename the entire base concept of our platform

sage tendon
#

i think they wanted to avoid the name "Clan" because Clan is seen quite negatively outside of the narrow scope of gaming

#

e.g. KKK....

#

etc

round heart
#

lol that’s fair

#

“Groups”

sage tendon
#

No, guild is a fair name

#

The real stupidity is discord calling servers guilds internally

#

i never understood that

#

guild is a common name for clans in RPGs

round heart
#

Yeah and the servers were originally used for those likeminded groups of people.

sage tendon
#

I mean to be really honest
I dont see the need to call it guilds, or clans, or anything
these features should just be available, period

#

I've been on the waitlist ever since i heard of guilds
Guess whether i'm in yet
(no)

#

yet another abandoned feature by discord
abandoned before even releasing it, new best

#

i do wonder what discord is working on
its been a bit since the last "woah nice" release imo

no

hazy turret
# shell radish no

How can I then use the bot emojis across servers without having to have the emojis on a server and always having to retrieve the emojis there?

if you know the ids, you can just use them in markdown form

sage tendon
#

Yes

fresh sierra
#

Like custom decorator etc

#

But multicog is the easiest way

sage tendon
#

yea but that's unnecessary lol

fresh sierra
hazy turret
#

Okay, I'll have a look at it

#

Thanks

undone merlin
#

Is there something that can forcefully move the user out of a channel when their permissions have been revoked

#

Like lets say I'm the user and my ticket has been closed. I can't type anything in the ticket/channel nor can I see it in the channel list. However I can still ''see'' it as a ghost page

sage tendon
#

afaik that only happens for public threads

#

for channels and private chats you should be completely taken out unless you are a moderator or admin

undone merlin
#

Not happening for me. I can invite you to the testing server to see it

fresh sierra
#

i dont think we can do anythng

sage tendon
#

you are the owner there, right?

fresh sierra
#

except report that to discord

undone merlin
sage tendon
#

yea then you cant test it yourself lol

#

unless you have an alt

undone merlin
#

I tested it on my alt

#

from my alt*

fresh sierra
#

because its mostly a bug

sage tendon
#

ah

#

so what is it, a private thread?

undone merlin
#

A channel

#

It's basicall a ticket system. There's a "Close" button when a user makes a ticket. When a user clicks on it their permissions from the channel gets revoked and only moderators can see the channel

sage tendon
#

well, either way you wont receive any new messages, so its not a privacy / safety issue in that regard

fresh sierra
#

here a demo

sage tendon
#

at most you could give them like a "back to <main channel>" message i suppose

fresh sierra
#

so just report it to discord thats the only way

sage tendon
#

can you test the same with a private thread? threads do work differently

fresh sierra
undone merlin
sage tendon
#

yea something like that doesnt exist

undone merlin
sage tendon
#

that would be basically a hostile takeover of the UI lol

fresh sierra
sage tendon
#

if anything they'd get a blank middle pane

errant trout
#

yeah that's been a thing forever

#

the only way to actually redirect would be to delete the channel/thread entirely

sage tendon
#

oh, that blanks out the middle pane too?

errant trout
#

strictly speaking they could apply the same logic on permission changes, but they don't for whatever reason GuraShrug

#

(i don't really think it's too important because ultimately you're only seeing messages you already had access to, but i can see why the behaviour is annoying)

hazy turret
#

Can I delete an ephemeral Paginator message if I have defined the Paginator as a class?
class CustomPaginator(Paginator):
Somehow via self.message.delete() or another option?

tawdry prism
#

I don’t know if this is more suitable in #general or not. Is the paginator a discord api thing or just a pycord thing built using interactions?

sage tendon
#

its pycord

hazy turret
#

Okay, that's how it works. I don't know if it's the cleanest way, but the message can be deleted in any case.

interaction = await paginator.respond(ctx.interaction, ephemeral=True)
paginator.response_message = interaction


await self.response_message.delete()
lapis dock
# obsidian blaze So sorry to keep bothering you. But I was able to get the right repo installed. ...

When creating the file you should wrap it in a discord.File object with waveform and duration_secs set

tts = await TTS().generate_tts(script)
channel = self.bot.get_channel(987475882732036098)
await channel.send(file=discord.File(tts, filename="motivation.mp3", waveform="AA==", duration_secs=5.0), voice_message=True)

These values do not need to be accurate for this to work. Waveform can be any base64 encoding string. I think AA== just means blank. And duration seconds will be regenerated to be accurate when a user hovers over the voice message "card".

obsidian blaze
#

Got it thanks

obsidian blaze
round heart
#

Am I able to have the potential for both ephemeral and public responses for a command? I want to give errors privately but results publicly.

#

mm, I see @sage tendon and @daring valve discussed this in #general a couple of weeks ago. Guess not.

#

...although public calls will get my exception handler privately. 🤔🤔

lapis dock
#

You can (almost) always use .send

errant trout
round heart
errant trout
#

well it's a pain to explain

#

if you defer, your next response is locked to either ephemeral or not

#

anything after that, you can freely switch between ephemeral=True and ephemeral=False

round heart
#

your next response is locked to either ephemeral or not

... vs what other type of response?

errant trout
#

well like

#

when you defer, ephemeral is attached to the defer itself

#

so let's say you defer(ephemeral=False) at the very start of the command but then you error, your error message can't be ephemeral

#

though you could do some hacky delete/response before erroring

round heart
#

Oh, so when deferring, you can only respond based on the ephemeral state of the defer?

errant trout
#

yes

#

that only applies to the immediate next response

#

after that response, switching is allowed

#

(rules are also different for components)

round heart
#

But if you are responding, that's the end of the interaction, is it not? At least when talking specifically about message responses

And even if it wasn't, is there some other type of 'non-message response' one could use to hack around it, so that I can do that operation and then actually reply to the interaction with the ephemeral message?

errant trout
#

the easiest hack is ctx.defer -> ctx.delete, but that will show to the user

undone merlin

crimson lily
#

How to preserve the image while editing the embed?

#

Any other way rather than setting it to the image_url again

sage tendon
#

by editing you mean replacing it with a new embed while editing the message right
because then no, there's no way around that

crimson lily
#

Alright

#

And is there any way to refresh slash_commands?

# 
async def add_post(ctx, campaign: Option(str, "Select Campaign", choices=get_active_campaigns())

This is how they get their options, and once a campaign gets added they dont change because I'm guessing slashcommands are registered right on startup

#

so wondering if there's a function that re-registers them per se

#

I'm guessing i can do

await self.bot.remove_command(command.name)
self.bot.add_slash_command(self.add_post)

but doing that for each command doesnt seem to be the best method

sage tendon
#

you can use autocomplete instead

#

but autocomplete does not force the user to select a given option, its just suggestions, so you still have to check it yourself

#

the other option is to sync your commands but that will run you into issues sooner or later if you change the options often

crimson lily
#

hmm ill check it out, thanks

#

yep await client.sync_commands() works
dont change them often, maybe twice a week
wont be an issue right?

sage tendon
#

no

jaunty blaze
#

I want my bot to do certain things when a cog is loaded and the bot is ready. Is it safe to put one listener into each cog? Given that they all do only their stuff and don't interfere with each other.

@Cog.listener(once=True)
async def on_ready(self):
  do_stuff()

E.g. I'd like to have each cog to retrieve and register any persistent views that were created with its respective commands.

lofty parcel
#

Yes

sage tendon
#

doesnt the on_ready event mean the bot's on ready?

jaunty blaze
#

yeah

sage tendon
#

then you cant use that (?), just do it in the cog's init
on_ready is (usually) only called a single time

jaunty blaze
#

I can't do it in the init, since the initialization is happening async, though.

sage tendon
#

asyncio.run()

lofty parcel
#

I have an on_ready listener for my cogs that have persistent views

#

¯_(ツ)_/¯

sage tendon
#

oh nvm im dumb, forget what i said

jaunty blaze
#

okay obamaxd

#

Until now I had a separate EventCog with the listeners, but I figured it would be better for maintenance to have all functionality for a certain feature bundled in a package, including setup like persisting views.

#

Thanks for the response!

py-cord compatible with 3.13 yet? Having a lot of issues related to libraries/packages/etc not being found even after uninstalling & reinstalling py-cord.

fallen torrent

are thhere any public user applications i can look at to get an idea of how to make one? dont know what changes there are between a user app and a bot

rugged lodgeBOT
#

Here's the slash users example.

errant trout
#

e.g. assuming the bot doesn't share the guild with the user, it wouldn't be able to access anything useful in ctx.guild

fallen torrent
errant trout
#

no

#

wait

#

sorry, misread

#

it'll work as normal for guilds the bot is actually in

fallen torrent
#

okay sweet

errant trout
#

you can check if it was run in user install by getting ctx.interaction.authorizing_integration_owners and seeing if user_id is set; you should thoroughly debug what resources are available in either context

I wonder if flags got even updated in the past (I dont even know how to use them xd)

well the last update was a year ago to "fix flags again..."

I can't see why they're broken tbh, the code looks fine

Well, I've gotten around it by making my own Flag class, using a pydantic model and just inheriting from commands.Flag

It doesn't error now but it also doesn't work 😛

It's fine, I'll just use something else

tho, what did you change since it last worked

shadow sigil
#

is it possible to have slash commands on a bot added to a user?

sage tendon
#

yes lol

#

you can't have prefix commands for a matter of fact so slash commands are your only choice (+ message and user commands)

shadow sigil
#

are you able to use those commands in servers or is it limited to like messaging the bot or something

sage tendon
#

everywhere

#

thats the whole point of user apps

shadow sigil
#

do you need to do something different from when it's on a server then?

sage tendon
#

in what way

shadow sigil
#

cause the commands are not showing up everywhere for me

sage tendon
#

It's a discord bug

#

On desktop, they dont show if you dont have either of the "use application commands" permissions
But you can still find them in the list if you only type / and then navigate there by mouse

#

On mobile it works like normal

#

but you can use user app slash commands everywhere you can type

shadow sigil
#

i can't say i could find them anywhere

sage tendon
#

are you sure you installed the bot on your account

shadow sigil
#

not when using the menu or when typing a slash or on mobile

#

yes

sage tendon
#

and did you set proper integration types in the commands?

shadow sigil
#

like
it shows up in the apps thing

#

but there's nothing there

shadow sigil
sage tendon
#

just do this if its only a user bot and not meant to be installed on servers

image.png
shadow sigil
#

it's meant to work for both

shadow sigil
sage tendon
#

then add guild_install as well into that list

shadow sigil
#

okay

sage tendon
#

thatll make every command work for a user install and server install

#

you can also do it per command but i suppose you want all commands

Are there any good examples on how to modify a view based on a component callback? Adding/removing/disabling other components and such?

sage tendon

view.add_item is one i know

That was my guess, I just need to figure out if I'm finding the right edit.

does it work?

Nope, threw a 404 exception (let me know if I should just create a separate post).

I think I did so but let me try again. Like this: await interaction.response.edit_message(view=self)

sage tendon
#

also consider upgrading your python version lol, 3.9 is really old

#

I know, working on a vhost I'm running another bot on. Not keen to write another d++ bot though.

"Lightweight and simple" kekw

So edit_message is not throwing any error, it just doesnt disable the other button.

#

(also for convenience, interaction.edit exists)

tawdry prism
#

Ouch, thanks. I did confirm the oops was on me by editing buttonstyle.

#

Thank you Toothy and Nelo.

errant trout
#

allgood

tawdry prism
#

Is there a smart built in way to persist selections when you edit the interaction?

errant trout
#

but i'd only recommend this in ephemeral messages, or if your menu is disabled

tawdry prism
#

Will be ephemeral, yes. Several selects where the choice will populate the next.

errant trout
#

then yeah that's fine

#

just wouldn't bother in a public-facing menu since everyone will see the defaults that some other user just applied and it gets messy

tawdry prism
#

Oh, values is just List[str]. Have to next .options and .values then.

errant trout
#

oh yeah mb, i guess just map values back to options

tawdry prism
#

This worked fine, need to reset in case you remove one of the options that were previously selected:

    def _select_default(self, select: discord.ui.Select) -> None:
        for option in select.options:
            option.default = False
            for value in select.values:
                if option.value == value:
                    option.default = True
errant trout
#

you could probably flip it and do for o in options: if o.value in select.values: ... else: ...

tawdry prism
#

That’s true. My usual style is brute forcing while doing poc and cleaning up after. 🙂

errant trout
#

fair ww

round heart
tawdry prism
tawdry prism
round heart
#

I don't, no. But I always put my Selects as a separate class and add using add_item() in the View because I tend to have additional logic (whereas buttons are just a single callback)

errant trout
#

mmmm shouldn't be? always worked fine on my end

#

your decorated functions are typically treated as the object itself

#

works with commands too

tawdry prism
# 
    @discord.ui.select(placeholder='Select day to schedule for...',
                       options=[discord.SelectOption(label='Select day')],
                       custom_id='day_select',
                       disabled=True)
#

Should I be able to refer to this as self.day_select in another handler?

errant trout
#

no by the function name

round heart
#

Not unless the function you're wrapping is also called day_select

errant trout
#

well idk what it is in that snippet

tawdry prism
#

Oh. Doh.

#

Again, thank you very much.

tawdry prism
#

Is it possible to remove an ephemeral response completely or is it up to the user to dismiss?

errant trout
#

(forgot to implement interaction.delete)

tawdry prism
#

await interaction.delete_original_response() throws a 404 for me.

errant trout
#

did you actually respond

#

defer also counts

tawdry prism
#

Do I need to respond or defer before I delete? It's in a button callback.

errant trout
#

yes

lofty parcel
#

What would you delete if you didnt respond ?

errant trout
#

if it's a button, defer is ideal because by default it's "invisible"

#

so it doesn't create a new message

#

(whereas defer in command always creates a new message)

tawdry prism
errant trout
#

if it was the original command response, you want ctx.delete

tawdry prism
#

The slash command handler posts a message with a view, the view has a cancel button. Should I save the context my slash command handler gets?

errant trout
#

there's a few approaches

tawdry prism
# 
        await interaction.response.defer(ephemeral=True)
        await interaction.delete_original_response()
errant trout
#

either pass the ctx to your view class, or you can use view.wait to pause the current code until you run view.stop and get some value to run back in the slash command

tawdry prism
#

This worked just fine. The slash command is just to post the ephemeral message with my view. From there the component callbacks do the work.

errant trout
#

The idea is to have the schedule button post a non ephemeral view where users can sign up to any scheduled times.

#

One step at a time though.

shell radish
tawdry prism
#

People won’t. We’re having a hell of a time scheduling things and I end up having to post each hour separately and add yes and no emoji on each. So I’m automating it for me.

# loud kayak 2.3k guilds

my best guess is you don't have enough shards / one of your shard processes is being overloaded with events

#

in which case maybe try manually increasing the shard count

loud kayak
errant trout
#

you can manually pass shard_count into your bot init/constructor

#

though do verify how many it's currently on and choose accordingly

loud kayak
#

oh ok, it says it has 2 rn so ill increase it to 3

#

is it bad if i increase it to 4? my vps has enough resources and im only using ~3-4% of the CPU allotted.

errant trout
#

yeah just go for it

#

worst case scenario you go back down

#

While we're all gathered, anyone know why view.add_item() doesn't inject _view like the code says it does?

#

although I just realized that self.view works. I don't know why, but ok.

loud kayak
errant trout
#

Sorry I don't have much of a clue beyond it possibly being excessive events or manual reconnection logic

loud kayak
errant trout
#

That's kinda low if anything

#

So I guess the issue is elsewhere

round heart
edgy nest
#

because they're a dpy relic and nobody really knows how they work

round heart
#

Fair enough.

#

Despite the code injecting ._view in view.add_item(), as noted above, there is also a regular .view that gets populated.
...but only if you explicitly pass the _view into the Select's init method and set it to self._view

I thought maybe it was because I tried to access my view before super() (to build options), but .view continues to be None even if I super() it early.

So it's either both or nothing. Fun stuff.

shadow sigil
silk spire
# round heart Despite the code injecting `._view` in `view.add_item()`, as noted above, there ...

No, this makes sense lol

You're supposed to pass an instance of an Item to add_item, which then sets the _view attribute.

The "problem" here is that you need the view in the __init__ method, but that's already called when you instantiate it. Calling super() in early or later isn't going to fix that, it simply doesn't know about any views since it's just a stateless class.

You can consider a separate construction method where you pass the view or do your things after add_item / \_\_init\_\_\

Also, .view is a literal property that returns self._view.

is there a way to check if the bot can send a message in the context channel

sage tendon
#

generally its easiest to just send, then catch an exception

#

there are way too many reasons why you cant send in a channel, it'd be a sissyphus task to try check them all every time

#

but remember, .respond always works

shadow sigil

i know, just don't like how it looks in certain situations

such as when chaining messages

Oh right, you were the user app guy

yea, you cannot use .send with a user app

at all

you have to use respond

shadow sigil

gets pissed off when i give it the wrong thing

shadow sigil
sage tendon
#

yea, but just as a reminder

#

also, can_send doesn't work great and doesn't catch all cases

#

as i said, trying to send and catching the exception is the only way to be 100% certain on whether you can or can't send a message

shadow sigil
sage tendon
#

the fix is to use .respond lolw

shadow sigil
#

my problem isn't that i'm not using respond, it's figuring out when i have to use it xd

sage tendon
#

that exists, cant find it right now, give me a minute

#

if guild_id is 0, it's a user app (or someone DMing the bot)

e.g.

if ctx.interaction.authorizing_integration_owners.guild_id == 0:
    //respond
else:
    //send

webhooks dont take silent= for some reason

sage tendon
#

can you show your code

shadow sigil
#

(the previous time was with commands/options and i misspelled description and wondered why it wasn't showing)

#

ok i think i got it to work

#

by just having a try except

sage tendon
#

Shrug_3 always the most reliable way as i said

shadow sigil
sage tendon
#

i mean .send will work in that case, so

shadow sigil
#

i mean
yeah

#

i guess i'll keep the try except

#

tbh, probably about time i turned my if not ctx.response.is_done(): ... else: ... into a dedicated function cause god damn i use that just about any time i send some kind of message

sage tendon
#

what does that do

shadow sigil
#

basically, makes it use .respond for the first message and .send for messages after that

errant trout
#

you could just make a custom context

#

Tf is introspection? Are we meditating in 3.0

round heart
#

Identifying the typehints in the callback and knowing which one to utilize. It's something I've seen in another module called meatie that Paillat and I have been looking at

#

Unrelated, is there a way to fix the 'bouncing' for View items? When pressing a button or using a dropdown that changes which buttons are available, the button press obviously disables the inputs, but then it returns, making buttons 'active' for a moment until the interaction.edit() goes through

Is it because I'm doing a defer?

errant trout
#

I don't think you can prevent that

#

The lag between the button "re-enabling" and the edit applying should be minimal

round heart
#

It is, but looks 'hacky' (to use the word of the day). Discord clearly knows the state of the buttons before the submit, wasn't sure if you could update that before it returns

errant trout
#

Idk if you're editing as fast as possible then not much else you can do

tawdry prism
#

Could you disable instead of deferring and then editing the response afterwards?

round heart
#

I tried that already, but unfortunately it doesn't seem the Discord client actually cares about state when completing the interaction. It's just locking/unlocking the View as-is.

Kinda shortsighted as it would actually save round-trips to get new state info before unlocking the View, but as Nelo says, whatcha gonna do

Hello. Switching from a different library, does Pycord have a setup_hook function being autocalled prior to bot.run?

# edgy nest took a gander already

it keeps happening and idk why. seems like its gotten worse since ive manually increased the shard count from 2 to 15. definitely overkill for the shard count but my hosting can definitely handle it, only using 7% of its allocated cpu and memory usage is low.

Yes, I could do that and pass it to the view awkwardly after its created.

#

Do people use views? They sometimes feel a bit forced.

how else would you do that lol

#

oh, then its just self.message

if you only need it in the bottom view

Yeah the callback from the select will update the embed in the top message.

sage tendon
#

oh

#

then just pass the above message to the second view upon creating it

The reason I asked initially is that the response below is created by clicking the button so I figured there would be a trail leading back to it from the interaction object in the select callback.

I've managed to get this to work, but some ctx.respond() arguments don't work. For example:

  • the ephemeral keyword argument has no effect on the response to the interaction;
  • instead of sending a whole embed, it only sends that embed's description;
  • some messages are sent twice.

loud kayak
#

Can the bug be investigated?

torn barn
#

The error also said that the event loop was closed

#

(And the task was destroyed with that pending exception that could not be raised)

loud kayak
#

It’s only been happening since I made the bot auto sharded, so it’s the shards. Maybe it’s because I’m overriding the shard count from 2 to 3?

torn barn
#

It should not be that tho.

#

Every shard has its gateway connection.

glad garnet
#

I think that's missing the point, the lib should have some sort of internal error handling that doesn't crash the bot completely in this situation ideally

torn barn
#

Yes, but the library also depends on the loop, so if it dies, everything else does

glad garnet
#

and I think it does? or at least I'm not sure how this error would propagate from aiohttp to closing the event loop

torn barn
#

This is more likely due to asyncio

glad garnet
# torn barn This is more likely due to asyncio

if the shard has to reconnect somehow and asyncio fails to cancel the previous task which under certain circumstances I believe still be connected, then the aiohttp error emitted would occur, but that would be a huge regression which I think would happen more widely if that was the case

Is there some logging I can setup to see why either bot isn't getting anything from discord or ignoring it? No exceptions are thrown. The callback for the button just defers and then responds. This worked yesterday so I'm guessing it might be some kind of timeout.

#

Did you set your timeout to None, and made the view persistent?

tawdry prism
#

Nope. I thought that was for things you want permanently posted but then again the difference between a few days and permanent might not be any. 😄

#

Thanks for the hint.

torn barn
#

If you reset your bot process without making the view optional then you'll lose the ability to respond to it

tawdry prism
#

I haven't.

#

It's been running since it posted the above.

echo wraith
tawdry prism
#

I just noticed. And when testing you usually don’t hit that. The 180 is in seconds I’m guessing?

#

I’m going to have to go persistent anyway since I want those posts to survive a restart. Might be scheduling almost 2 weeks in advance.

echo wraith
tawdry prism
#

Any special trick to newlines in embed fields? I'm doing field.value += f"{user.mention}\n" to just append people reporting in my list but the newline seems to get lost on the way.

sage tendon
#

p sure you cant

tawdry prism
#

This is my other bot in dpp.

image.png
#

Only difference is the dot, code is similar from a conceptual level.

# 
        std::string EmbedList;

        for (dpp::snowflake User : m_Entries)
        {
                EmbedList += "• <@" + std::to_string(User) + ">\n";
        }
#

Sorry for polluting with other language.

#

Even pasted the wrong thing... sigh

#

Nvm I saw the issue, depending on the trailing newline.

round heart
#

I tend to put lines in a list and then '\n'.join(mylines)

tawdry prism
#

I could do that, just being lazy since the embed field is my actual datastore.

tawdry prism
#

So that broke spectacularly when lots of people wanted to update at the same time. Need to db after all.

#

All discord ID's are 64bit right? Which means bigint in most databases.

For now, I could try making a branch for you that has a lock on poll event which should fix it, but it's more of a temporary fix, however it should be fine for the moment

uh

edgy nest
#

update to master branch if you want fix

humble turtle
#

i can't install git is it possible without git

edgy nest
edgy nest
#

you could probably monkeypatch

#

if you want to try

sage tendon
#

why can you not install git, but python and everything else needed for programming lol

edgy nest
#

not that bad of a fix

sage tendon
#

you program without git?

humble turtle
#

i can install python but when i install git there is a git icon in the taskbar but when i press it nothing happens

sage tendon
#

use the cli

#

you dont use git as GUI, ever

humble turtle
#

what do you mean

sage tendon
#

i mean that you use git in the command line, and never as GUI

echo wraith
sage tendon
#

everything git does is on the command line

#

the GUI is just a fancy wrapper

humble turtle
echo wraith
sage tendon
#

type git -v in a command line

humble turtle
sage tendon
#

..

#

cli means command line interface

echo wraith
#

type git --help

#

If it doesn't seem to work, please send the output here

humble turtle

when I enter this I get

are you on windows 7

lol

sage tendon
#

what did you do to your windows

#

oh

#

type cmd

#

and try running git again

humble turtle
#

yes

sage tendon
#

you opened powershell

#

powershell is fucking useless

#

it acts like its a terminal but its not

humble turtle
#

thx

echo wraith
sage tendon
#

it cant take basic CLI commands, which makes it useless

#

exhibit A seen above

echo wraith
#

But they are both shit compared to bash

echo wraith
sage tendon
#

like git

#

or winget

echo wraith
echo wraith
sage tendon
#

no, powershell gives me errors when i try running anything, its a broken shit program and should be removed

#

anyway back to pycord

If you insist on developing with non-Microsoft languages on Windows, you owe it to yourself to install WSL

What would cause a message not to be ephemeral even when you tell it to be? 🤔

await ctx.respond(embeds=embeds, view=view, ephemeral=True)

Is there something in my view that could be overriding it somehow?

Guys, quick question, I'm working on a role system

For example, if I save the Member object to later check the roles it has on the server. If the Member's roles change, is the Member object updated automatically? Or do I have to get the updated information myself?

sage tendon
#

it's updated

tidal vessel
lofty parcel
#

It is?

sage tendon
#

yes

#

because it points to the member object in memory, and since the member won't just randomly be uncached (thus creating a new object) itll still be the same object for the bot's entire runtiume

#

really gotta remind myself every so often that python is pass by reference

lofty parcel
#

Any ideas? Bot doesn't use Voice at all??

omg sometimes I hate coding

#

that is literally so dumb like

sage tendon
#

why dumb?

nova epoch
#

if it's needed regardless of if you use voice or now, why doesn't it just come with the py-cord installation?

sage tendon
#

It was a built in, deprecated since 3.11, now it was removed

#

pycord just didnt update the implementation in time

lapis dock
#

it is because py-cord 2.6.1 does not officially support python 3.13

Sometimes I regret starting to code, things like this make me lose it

sage tendon
#

why? it's a really straightforward issue

lofty parcel
#

Gawd it's installing a library

#

Not the end of the world

floral ice
#

how can i delete view message after button is clicked?

#

when i try await self.message.delete() i cant because of 403

sage tendon
#

is it an ephemeral message

floral ice
#

yea

sage tendon
#

good luck

floral ice
#

??

#

can i at least disable the buttons?

sage tendon
#

its super weird to delete ephemeral messages and i dont remember how

lofty parcel
#

.rtfm delete_original_

sly karmaBOT
lofty parcel
#

Second one.

sage tendon
#

ah yea that
why is that needed tho?

floral ice
#

can i update ephemeral view?

#

like .edit() ?

lofty parcel
#

On button click?

sage tendon
#

edit_original_response

floral ice
#

yea

sage tendon
#

i think

floral ice
#

oh ok i will try

lofty parcel
#

interaction.response.edit_message if youre responding

rugged lodgeBOT
lofty parcel
#

Otherwise what toothy said

floral ice
#

thx

sage tendon
#

i always remember deleting ephemeral messages to be much harder than it is but by next time i forgot already

floral ice
#

wait

#

it just edits the button response

#

not the view

#

i need to edit the view it self, not the button response

echo wraith
sage tendon
#

what view

floral ice
sage tendon
#

show a screenshot and tell us what exactly you want to edit

echo wraith
#

then you have to pass in interaction with your view pobably idk

echo wraith
floral ice
floral ice
sage tendon
#

so there is only one message?

floral ice
#

yes

#

the one created with the slash command

lofty parcel
#

interaction.response.edit_message should work

floral ice
lofty parcel
#

Yes

#

Should be your first response

#

You don't need to send any other message

floral ice
round heart
#

btw, if you ever do want to outright delete an ephemeral message in your button callback, you can either

await interaction.response.defer()
await interaction.delete_original_response()

or (and I'm not entirely sure why this works, just found it in another View I built)

await self.parent.delete_original_response()
sage tendon
#

Do on_message events also work for threads the bot isn't actively part of? Be it private or public?
