fresh sierra what is a point of that ?

I think it is for http only bots.
You can have discord send interactions to your webserver instead of having a gateway connection

lapis dock Jan 18, 2025, 6:58 PM

#

@round heart moving here to not hijack

Discord gives you a temporary "interaction token" that is valid for 15 minutes. You can use that specific token for 15 minutes. If a user interacts with your view you get a new interaction with a new token.

round heart Jan 18, 2025, 6:59 PM

#

lapis dock <@780148215865409556> moving here to not hijack Discord gives you a temporary "...

🤔 Does user code have to care about that in any way? I feel like I've had views where interaction after 15 mins was just met with 'interaction failed'

lapis dock Jan 18, 2025, 6:59 PM

#

Everytime a user interacts discord sends a new token you can use for 15 minutes. But you cant have a button that when pressed waits an hour before editing the message without doing extra stuff

round heart Jan 18, 2025, 6:59 PM

#

extra stuff
ok

#

Is that documented anywhere so I don't ask redundant questions? I've never seen a mention of that (but also didn't go looking for it)

#

(Outside of a persistent view, which isn't necessarily what I'm looking for, either.)

lapis dock Jan 18, 2025, 7:02 PM

#

DDevs page: https://discord.com/developers/docs/interactions/receiving-and-responding#receiving-an-interaction

#

I feel like I've had views where interaction after 15 mins was just met with 'interaction failed'
Your bot still has to be listening for the interactions discord sends. I think the default timeout (before pycord stops listening) is 5 minutes. But you could make this as long as you want.

round heart Jan 18, 2025, 7:04 PM

#

They were with Views with timeout=None

#

I guess what I'm asking is that you shouldn't need to do anything in Pycord to account for this new token, and that interactions should seamlessly work after 15 mins because it's generating that new token?

stray cape Jan 18, 2025, 7:20 PM

#

hey guys, is there an implementation of the bot.wait_for function that exactly is like that but doesn't take in an event parameter?

#

I need to wait until a certain condition has reached

echo wraith Jan 18, 2025, 7:20 PM

#

stray cape I need to wait until a certain condition has reached

What condition?

stray cape Jan 18, 2025, 7:21 PM

#

when a certain list reaches a length

#

it has to "block" until a certain condition has passed

echo wraith Jan 18, 2025, 7:22 PM

#

stray cape when a certain list reaches a length

I suggest you could subclass list or create a list handler class that accepts a callback and a condition.

echo wraith Jan 18, 2025, 7:22 PM

#

stray cape it has to "block" until a certain condition has passed

Where does the list come from

#

Like how is it edited

stray cape Jan 18, 2025, 7:22 PM

#

I am using the list as a kind of "pointer" that is shared between multiple views (the views are all the same kind of views)

#

I share the list with every view so that they can modify it

#

and yeah every view has a timeout aswell, which will still append something to the list

#

Kind of structure:

class SomeView(View): 
   def __init__(self, ptr_list: list, *args, **kwargs):
       super().__init__(*args, **kwargs)
       self.ptr_list = ptr_list
   # Here are some buttons that'll append things to the list


confirmations: list[bool] = []
for user in members:
   channel: discord.TextChannel
   await channel.send(user.mention, view=SomeView(confirmations, timeout=...))

#

I could technically wait until the timeout has reached

#

but I just want to directly continue after the length of confirmations has been met

#

I know I am a littlebit vague

@lapis dock were you about to reply to me?

would be to make everything after the "wait_for" in another async function, and in the view, in every place where you .append, check for the list's lenght and call the function if applicable

there's __add__ i think or something like that

when you add it another way

round heart I guess what I'm asking is that you shouldn't need to do anything in Pycord to a...

You will always use the new token in the interaction object passed to your callback.

class MyView(discord.ui.View)
  def __init__(self, original_interaction):
    self.original_interaction = original_interaction // This is the interaction that is used to send the view
    super().__init__(timeout=60*3)

  @discord.ui.button(label="Hi")
  async def hi(self, button, interaction):
    // This will work as long as pycord is listening for interactions on this view
    await interaction.respond("Hi")

  async def on_timeout(self):
    // This will only work if the view was sent less then 15 minutes ago.
    await self.original_interaction.edit(view=self)
    // You could choose to update self.original_interaction everytime you get an interaction and this would allow this to work as long as it was with 15 minutes of the most recent interaction

I think this is a more clear explanation that I am pretty sure is accurate.
Also a note: Py-cord treats timeout as time since last interaction, not time since it was sent. So the timeout can keep being extended

echo wraith Jan 18, 2025, 7:35 PM

#

echo wraith It does

But you would need to asyncio.sleep()

stray cape Jan 18, 2025, 7:35 PM

#

echo wraith It does

Is that possible

echo wraith Jan 18, 2025, 7:35 PM

stray cape Jan 18, 2025, 7:36 PM

won't that be blocking?

echo wraith Jan 18, 2025, 7:36 PM

And be blocking

Now that you mention, I do recall that interactions extend the timeout. But what is the answer for when it's been around for, say, 20 minutes without any interaction in the meantime?

If you try to edit it (without an interaction) it will not work unless you have fetched/cached the message is some other way. At that point it would also require you to have the view channel permission.

I guess it might be possible to have py-cord keep track of the most recent interaction (if it does not already, I did not look like it did) and try to use that when possible. My brain kinda hurts from thinking about this though, so I dont exactly know how it would be implemented

round heart Jan 18, 2025, 7:44 PM

#

3 more minutes and I can test something. I have a simple View with a button that just ephemerally replies. I need to know for certain wether it still works after 15 mins. (or if my issue is just with editing the message, which I'm not currently testing)

#

Interesting. So it's not that; clicking the button yielded the expected reply. Must just be message editing. Time to test that.

lapis dock Jan 18, 2025, 7:53 PM

#

ephemerally messages are only accessible through the original interaction I believe.

round heart Jan 18, 2025, 7:54 PM

#

I believe you're right. But right now the original message is public

#

so this is my example View

class TestView(discord.ui.View):
    def __init__(self):
        self.number = 0
        super().__init__(timeout=3600, disable_on_timeout=True)

    @discord.ui.button(label='Test', style=discord.ButtonStyle.green)
    async def test(self, button: discord.ui.Button, interaction: discord.Interaction):
        self.number += 1
        await interaction.edit(content=f'Clicked {self.number} times', view=self)

.. interaction.edit_original_response is not the right method, apparently. Update: It's interaction.edit()

#

This is why we need a visual guide on which methods to use for which situation 😅

See you in 16 minutes

lapis dock Jan 18, 2025, 7:59 PM

#

I am going to make a comprehensive visual guide rn. I have wanted to for so long and after explaining everything I have somewhat confused myself as well

From my subjective point of view, claude is much better

even compared to openai's o1

like o1 can sometimes solve better complex algorithmical problems

but claude is way better at acutally not wanting to rewrite your entire codebase

hello - is it easy to use a rate limit warning message to work out exactly what call is being rate limited?

thanks, is there a quick reference that gets you that answer?

dont use fetch message, rely on cache as much as possible

minor basin Jan 18, 2025, 10:50 PM

#

I'm using get most of the time - in this case I'm trying to establish whether a user has deleted the message sent through a webhook? if there's a better way would be very happy

sage tendon Jan 18, 2025, 10:50 PM

#

https://docs.pycord.dev/en/stable/api/clients.html#discord.Bot.get_message always use this first

minor basin Jan 18, 2025, 10:51 PM

#

and then to edit the message sent through the webhook? The partial doesn't allow much to be done

sage tendon Jan 18, 2025, 10:52 PM

#

bot.get_message(...).edit no?

#

or wdym webhook

minor basin Jan 18, 2025, 10:56 PM

#

the bot sends messages through webhooks, and then updates those messages periodically. To edit the message, as far as I can tell, I have to fetch the message?

sage tendon Jan 18, 2025, 10:57 PM

#

do you have to send messages with the webhook for your use case?

minor basin Jan 18, 2025, 10:57 PM

#

I think so, yes

#

the bot can't join the other servers

#

in my test case I'm only fetching four messages in ~2 seconds

#

a 19 minute limit seems a bit intense

sage tendon Jan 18, 2025, 11:00 PM

#

i mean.. if you fetch them once thats enough already, because then you could just manually save the message object

#

and how often do you fetch them anyway

minor basin Jan 18, 2025, 11:03 PM

#

once an hour

#

hadn't realised fetch was so frowned upon! I can work in saving the objects and only fetch them at startup

#

sloooowly

sage tendon Jan 18, 2025, 11:04 PM

#

yea i have no clue about webhooks
but yea fetching bad cause fetching is slow and counts towards ratelimits

    @commands.cooldown(1, 300, commands.BucketType.user)

I am trying to perform a command with a cooldawn, but the cooldawn is null in the case that a user has the role x. The problem is that the decorator works correctly, but does not apply the action. That is, it assigns cooldawn to all users, even if you have the bypass role. Has this happened to anyone else

sage tendon Jan 19, 2025, 11:57 AM

what's more optimized: saving data about cooldown in json fine directly in bot's directory, or use database for it? I'm between those stupid and shitty solutions because I don't know how to implement cooldown for discord users other way

JSON is a convenient and easy-to-read data storage protocol that's widely accepted by most programming languages. However, we caution against its use for storing and retrieving data in an asynchronous environment like a Discord bot. Don’t use json!

It's a file-based data storage, which makes it vulnerable to race conditions
You'll need to implement your own synchronization primitives to avoid corrupting data
If you're not careful, you could accidentally wipe your entire JSON file.

Solution? Use a database. Recommended schema are SQLite, PostgreSQL, and MongoDB.

Async libraries exist on pypi for each of these
sqlite -- aiosqlite (or Danny's wrapper: asqlite)
postgresql -- asyncpg
mongodb -- motor
Databases organize your data into tables, and are fast at inserting, retrieving, and removing records
You can impose uniqueness constraints to ensure against duplication
The Python libraries enforce synchronization for you
The query language is intuitive, you can get running with simple queries in just a few hours!

sage tendon Jan 19, 2025, 3:12 PM

#

you should really use the built in ones if it's about command cooldowns tho, as it's all kept in memory as well

ionic wasp Jan 19, 2025, 3:14 PM

you have to write an invite command, which is what i did. the admin of the channel would do /private invite @someone and it does overwrites for the @someone for that channel

lapis dock Jan 19, 2025, 8:43 PM

The callback is working, the issue is that your interaction token has expired which happens when

You dont respond in 3 seconds
15 minutes passes from the time that the interaction was created.

oh. hm, that's odd

lapis dock Jan 20, 2025, 1:39 AM

#

Note that this is per server, so if you need the command to only be accessible to people on ONE server with a specific role you should still use a backend check

modern trail Jan 20, 2025, 1:40 AM

so essentially at the application level, all commands are available to anyone, and then i would go into the integration settings on the server to limit access to certain commands?

lapis dock Jan 20, 2025, 1:43 AM

Technically it does not need to, you could implement something that changes the guild_IDs and syncs

round heart Jan 20, 2025, 2:28 AM

Oh, is it easy to sync a single command?

#

I thought that was one of the things other Pycord devs were struggling with implementing

lapis dock Jan 20, 2025, 2:34 AM

#

Wellll I dont know how well it works but you should just be able to sync and specify a command and a guild ID

round heart Jan 20, 2025, 2:37 AM

#

Ah, https://github.com/Pycord-Development/pycord/blob/master/discord/bot.py#L684

#

And this was the feature that seemingly doesn't have throttles or limits?

lapis dock Jan 20, 2025, 2:45 AM

#

You will have a ratelimit of 200 command CREATES per day per guild

round heart Jan 20, 2025, 2:47 AM

#

It was something about updating a command that apparently was not getting hit with limits.

#

though I guess I don't know how that works in practice since you have to restart the bot to change a command (although I wonder if you could make a versioned cog, unload it, load the new version with whatever changes, and then sync those.)

The Issue

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

How To Fix This

Set your view timeout to None

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

Pass a custom_id value to the view

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

Add the view to the bot

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

rugged lodgeBOT Jan 21, 2025, 12:44 AM

#

Here's the persistent example.

tiny fractal Jan 21, 2025, 12:47 AM

#

cheers

tiny fractal Jan 21, 2025, 2:18 AM

#

rugged lodge Here's the persistent example.

self.add_view(PersistentView())

#

where is add_view declared?

#

it doesn't exist anywhere except as teh self.add_view

#

oh this is outside of a cog

lapis dock Jan 21, 2025, 2:20 AM

#

tiny fractal it doesn't exist anywhere except as teh self.add_view

In that example they are subclassing commands.Bot so self is referring to a commands.Bot instance

tiny fractal Jan 21, 2025, 2:20 AM

#

yea lol. dawned on me late

lapis dock Jan 21, 2025, 2:23 AM

#

all good, subclassing bot is not all that common so its a bit weird to look at

tiny fractal Jan 21, 2025, 2:25 AM

#

 message = await channel.fetch_message(message_id)
                    ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
AttributeError: 'NoneType' object has no attribute 'fetch_message'

#

but i'm looking at it...

lapis dock Jan 21, 2025, 2:29 AM

#

How did you get the channel? This sounds like a get_x problem

sly karmaBOT Jan 21, 2025, 2:29 AM

#

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.

tiny fractal Jan 21, 2025, 2:29 AM

#

there is no get_message though

#

channel = self.bot.get_channel(VERIFY_CHANNEL)

#

its a task, thats why, tasks was firing before the cog was ready

#

unless i can do the same thing with get_partial_message. im using it to update a button view

lapis dock Jan 21, 2025, 2:33 AM

#

I mean the other way around.
If the bot does not have the channel in cache you need to fetch it

#

Do you need to update the message on startup?

tiny fractal Jan 21, 2025, 2:34 AM

#

well the button expires after a few minutes and noone can click it ever again

lapis dock Jan 21, 2025, 2:35 AM

#

Your understanding on that is a bit off.
The bot stops listening for people clicking on the button after a few minutes, but people can still click it

tiny fractal Jan 21, 2025, 2:35 AM

#

yea but it fails

lofty parcel Jan 21, 2025, 2:35 AM

#

Then you're setting some timeout

lapis dock Jan 21, 2025, 2:36 AM

#

When a user clicks a button discord will send you an interaction with a custom ID that you set when creating the button. If you did not set a custom ID pycord set one for you randomly

#

So you need to reverse your logic. Instead of saving the message/channel ID and updating the message with a new button. You should save the custom_id of the button and set up your view to start listening for button presses with that custom_id

tiny fractal Jan 21, 2025, 2:38 AM

#

yea thats what i did

#

my slash command that creates the message , saves the message_id with custom_id to a json file

#

then on boot i read those values in

lapis dock Jan 21, 2025, 2:39 AM

#

Then what dark said, you are not setting the views timeout to None

tiny fractal Jan 21, 2025, 2:39 AM

#

its set to None

lapis dock Jan 21, 2025, 2:39 AM

#

or you are stopping the view at some point

tiny fractal Jan 21, 2025, 2:39 AM

#

the only timeout i have is a waiting for a message reply

#

msg = await self.bot.wait_for('message', check=check, timeout=300) # 5 minutes timeout

lapis dock Jan 21, 2025, 2:39 AM

#

Can you show how you are loading the views on startup

tiny fractal Jan 21, 2025, 2:40 AM

#

class VerifyView(discord.ui.View):
    def __init__(self, bot, custom_id):
        super().__init__(timeout=None)
        self.add_item(VerifyButton(bot, custom_id))
        

class Verify(commands.Cog):
    def __init__(self, bot):
        self.bot: discord.Bot = bot
        #self.update_button_task.start()
        self.persistent_views_added = False

    @commands.Cog.listener()
    async def on_ready(self):
        if not self.persistent_views_added:
            self.bot.add_view(VerifyView(self.bot, "verify_button"))
            self.persistent_views_added = True

#

ok now it seems to be working on restart with this method

lapis dock Jan 21, 2025, 2:42 AM

#

and VerifyButton is using the custom_id you pass?

tiny fractal Jan 21, 2025, 2:42 AM

#

gonna wait for ten minutes till it "expires" again

lapis dock Jan 21, 2025, 2:42 AM

#

Yeah, this will not work with any "old" messages that dont have a custom ID

tiny fractal Jan 21, 2025, 2:42 AM

#

class VerifyButton(discord.ui.Button):
    def __init__(self, bot, custom_id):
        super().__init__(label="Verify", style=discord.ButtonStyle.green, custom_id=custom_id)
        self.bot = bot

#

does this just look for any button with "verify_button" and keep it alive?

lapis dock Jan 21, 2025, 2:47 AM

#

There is nothing to keep "alive"
When you send a message containing that button the custom_id is sent with it. Discord saves the custom_id for each component (on the message object itself). Whenever someone on discord uses a component discord looks at what bot sent it and then sends an interaction to that bot along with the custom_id that was original sent with the component. Then pycord matches the custom_id to a callback and runs that callback. If you dont add the view on startup pycord will not know what callback the custom_id matches, so it just ignores it.

tiny fractal Jan 21, 2025, 2:48 AM

#

aah ok

#

so then no need for a task loop to keep editing the message

#

lol thanks

lapis dock Jan 21, 2025, 2:49 AM

#

correct. discord does not want that because that would be a massive amount of api calls at scale doggokek

tiny fractal Jan 21, 2025, 2:49 AM

#

#

this is what i've been working on with that button

sage tendon Jan 21, 2025, 10:17 AM

#

I've tried a big bunch of verification systems throughout my time on Discord, and the one that worked for me best was to get a levelling bot, and limit server access to level 1. With only a welcome channel accessible otherwise. Allows you to manually weed out spammers and idiots, while letting genuine people chat for a bit until they reach level one. I also kick anyone who didn't reach level 1 within a week, and I've also made out a few sets of roles bots will always select from onboarding, so I automatically kick those as bots. Also, kicking everyone with a spammer flag is really helpful

lapis dock Jan 21, 2025, 12:38 PM

#

If they join back and select the same roles does it still kick them?

valid panther Jan 21, 2025, 1:40 PM

#

I am putting await ctx.defer() at the beginning of a command to wait for the response if I put ephemeral=True, it expects all results to be of type ephemeral. I can decide that x results for example if it gives KO the command shows individually to the user with ephemeral=True and if it gives OK it shows for all?

sage tendon Jan 21, 2025, 2:31 PM

#

lapis dock If they join back and select the same roles does it still kick them?

yep

#

I specifically DM them telling them to select different roles if they rejoin

#

So if it's a bot that rejoins they'll be kicked again and if it's a person who pays attention they won't be
But it's very unlikely to select either of those sets of roles randomly

You can't change visibility after a defer

valid panther Jan 21, 2025, 2:33 PM

#

Okay

sage tendon Jan 21, 2025, 2:33 PM

#

you could send a message into the channel or send another response after responding to the defer, that won't be forced to be ephemeral I think

deft hull Is there an example of `@after_invoke`?

for what ?

deft hull Jan 22, 2025, 1:39 PM

#

Err it's hard to explain

I want to have my bot to check the user's level and send level up messages after each command.
This would be the structure of a command:

@discord.slash_command()
async def random_command(ctx)
    ... # Command logic
    user = UserData(ctx.user.id)
    ctx.level_data = await user.add_exp(10)

class UserData:
    def __init__(user_id):
        ...
    async def add_exp(amount):
        ... # Some logic and database operations
        return {
            'hasLeveledUp': level_up,
            'level': self._level,
            'rewards': rewards
        }

#

I would like to do something like:

# After invoking the command
if not ctx.level_data['hasLeveledUp']:
    return

await ctx.followup.send(f"{ctx.user.mention}, you are now Level {ctx.level_data['level']}")

round heart Jan 22, 2025, 1:46 PM

#

deft hull Is there an example of `@after_invoke`?

@after_invoke() takes one parameters, a coroutine that accepts the Context argument. Where are you running into issues?

#

Your coro would have to separately look up the user in your level data as ctx.user, but at least keeps you from having to add it to every command

#

But if it’s after invoke, I don’t know if you could use followup. Would need some testing

deft hull Jan 22, 2025, 1:49 PM

#

I actually want to know how to set up the decorator. Is it just @after_invoke(ctx)?

round heart Jan 22, 2025, 1:50 PM

#

No, according to the docs it takes a coroutine (an awaitable method). That method is what accepts ctx

deft hull Jan 22, 2025, 1:51 PM

#

Ah, so like

@commands.after_invoke()
async def something(ctx):

#

because my commands are in a Cog

In a cog I would think it would be (self, ctx)

I am in a predicament where a slash command that is inside a cog and a slash command that is just in the main bot.py file have the same implementation. They also both have the same exact autocomplete function. The slash command inside the cog is noticably slower, and also does not filter the options properly. video attached. Any ideas?

I think you can have 5 more guild ones. But in general you cant. It is a discord limitation.

Is there a way to get the channels a member/user has access to in a guild without having to loop through each channel and check the permissions of it?

I’ve been doing this but in large servers it takes way too long

sage tendon Jan 24, 2025, 7:16 PM

not really i think, what do you need that for

errant trout Jan 24, 2025, 7:30 PM

maiden bloom I’ve been doing this but in large servers it takes way too long

are you fetching every channel or something?

maiden bloom Jan 24, 2025, 7:37 PM

#

sage tendon not really i think, what do you need that for

The “jailing” process for my bot. If a user can see channels they’re not supposed to, it’s pretty pointless

maiden bloom Jan 24, 2025, 7:38 PM

#

errant trout are you fetching every channel or something?

Not sure, I’d have to check. This has been on my improvement list for a while

cant you just remove all their roles lol

maiden bloom Jan 24, 2025, 7:49 PM

#

sage tendon cant you just remove all their roles lol

Yes, that’s also part of the process. It then assigns them an inmate role which has the view permissions set to deny on every single channel. That’s what takes so long is verifying that the inmate role is set properly on all the channels. Otherwise, they’d be able to see channels that @ everyone can see

errant trout Jan 24, 2025, 7:50 PM

#

what's the actual code

#

this really shouldn't take more than 5 seconds

sage tendon Jan 24, 2025, 7:51 PM

#

just update the overrides everytime a new channel is made or overrides are changed
or make a command like /jailrole sync or something that verifies the overrides

maiden bloom Jan 24, 2025, 7:54 PM

    @commands.slash_command(
        name="generate_password",
        description="Generate a random password.",
        contexts={
            discord.InteractionContextType.guild,
            discord.InteractionContextType.bot_dm,
            discord.InteractionContextType.private_channel
        }
    )
    async def generate_password(self, ctx: discord.ApplicationContext, length: discord.Option(
        name="password length",
        default=16,
        required=False,
        input_type=discord.SlashCommandOptionType.integer,
        max_value=1024,
        description="The length of the generated password.",)

            ephemeral=True,
            view = view
        )

This command raises AttributeError: Option does not take min_value or max_value if not of type SlashCommandOptionType.integer or SlashCommandOptionType.number even through it surely is set to input_type integer.
Also if I try doing it with the decorator it's not set at all, the option shows up but without parameters.

sage tendon Jan 25, 2025, 12:22 AM

#

and also, use ctx.respond(), you dont need .response.send_message

hexed herald Jan 25, 2025, 12:24 AM

sage tendon else you wont see the updated command

still no description no limit no default with the decorator, but the bot starts

    @commands.slash_command(
        name="generate_password",
        description="Generate a random password.",
        contexts={
            discord.InteractionContextType.guild,
            discord.InteractionContextType.bot_dm,
            discord.InteractionContextType.private_channel
        }
    )
    @discord.option(
        name="password length",
        default=16,
        required=False,
        type=discord.SlashCommandOptionType.integer,
        max_value=1024,
        description="The length of the generated password.",
    )
    async def generate_password(self, ctx: discord.ApplicationContext, length: int):
        view = PasswordView(length=length)
        await ctx.response.send_message(
            "Please select all elements you password should contain!",
            ephemeral=True,
            view = view
        )

This is the current code

Yes you can pass guild_ids=[list of ids] to your command decorator.
If you want all commands to only be on one server you can add debug_guilds=[list of ids] to your bot instance call

I’ve also had some weird inconsistencies with Views. Some expiring after 15 mins despite having a longer timeout. But then when I went to explicitly recreate it, I couldn’t

#

So it’s also entirely possible discord quietly fixed something within the last year and gaslighted us all

lapis dock Jan 27, 2025, 2:00 PM

#

To debug further you can give the view a timestamp when it is created and compare that timestamp in interactions and the on_timeout event

round heart Jan 27, 2025, 3:46 PM

#

I know I've seen them in here before.. (doesn't seem to be in #creations) but does anyone have open examples of recording voice per user (preferably with timestamps)?

#

Oh. The sinks already do have it per user.. but is it easy to differentiate between someone speaking for 5 mins at the start of a 1 hour call, and someone only speaking for 5 mins at the end of the call? (i.e. timestamps)

lapis dock Jan 27, 2025, 5:09 PM

Om made a PR for that a while ago I think. Iirc The silent time based on when we received the packet tho. So there can be slight shifts because of network lag

What exactly is this asking for? I gave it a list of SKU IDs and and a list of SKU objects and it throws an error both times
It's under member.entitlements()

lapis dock Jan 28, 2025, 2:19 AM

SKU objects should have worked, what errors are you getting?

lofty parcel Jan 28, 2025, 3:30 AM

You can't pass a list

#

It's a list of discord.Object(id=...)s

lapis dock Jan 28, 2025, 3:42 AM

I think all discord objects inherit from Snowflake tho

#

This is all it is doing on the backend anyways
[sku.id for sku in skus] if skus else None

is there any way to make a bridge between normal slash commands and user commands?

similar to how it is possible to make a bridge between prefixed and slash commands

sage tendon Jan 28, 2025, 6:41 AM

frosty trellis is there any way to make a bridge between normal slash commands and user command...

no

#

just make them both call the same function

alright, thanks 👍

#

Is it possible if I have the author_check enabled on a Paginator that I can then return a custom message when someone tries to use the Paginator so that I don't just get “Interaction Failed”?

#

If I read this correctly in the docs, then I can only implement it manually with interaction_check and on_check_failure and leave out the author_check, right?

deft hull Jan 28, 2025, 2:20 PM

#

Is there a way I can create a file for each command and register them to the same cog

tiny fractal Jan 28, 2025, 2:28 PM

??? Why would you do that.

deft hull Jan 28, 2025, 2:30 PM

uh my commands are getting a bit long

#

Should I still keep them all in a single file or cog

echo wraith Jan 28, 2025, 2:37 PM

I remember there was a discussion about this some time ago already

Are your commands in the same group ?

#

yup

#

wait not subcommand group

echo wraith Jan 28, 2025, 2:38 PM

Is that the reason why you want them in the same cog ?

deft hull Jan 28, 2025, 2:38 PM

they're in the same cog file

Okay thanks

sage tendon Jan 28, 2025, 3:10 PM

#

deft hull Should I still keep them all in a single file or cog

no, cogs are literally made to seperate commands into multiple files lol

#

that's the entire point

deft hull Jan 28, 2025, 3:11 PM

#

well, alright

lapis dock Jan 28, 2025, 3:15 PM

#

You could look in to not needing cogs at all. Most people do not use the features of cogs anyways. Extensions and cogs are not required to be linked

sage tendon Jan 28, 2025, 3:20 PM

#

how would you do that then

lapis dock Jan 28, 2025, 3:23 PM

#

https://docs.pycord.dev/en/stable/api/clients.html#discord.Bot.add_application_command
in the setup function I believe

sage tendon Jan 28, 2025, 3:25 PM

#

ah yea
kinda unnecessary tho, imo just doing it the regular cog way is simpler and less prone to errors

Hi, I have a view with some buttons, and whenever a button is clicked, it sends a confirmation message to the user in ephemeral (which is another view). After confirming, the confirmation message gets edited instead of the original one.

Something like this

main if if I run the module, init is if I import (from) the module

from src import yada, bleh # this will import from __init__.py

ebon swift Jan 28, 2025, 7:05 PM

#

hey all, I have a few questions , a while back, some helpers told me to not use the has_role() decorator, I need it for my bot because I'm building something that manages roles and build some games around those roles, for example a @knight can't use magic or your not the @king you can't ask @MyBot to do this. Even though I still check user roles, I agree it doesn't mean I have to use a deprecated decorator, so here are my questions:

Why shouldn't I use it , does it have to do with how slash commands handles contexts?
Is there a newer decorator to check roles of a user ? if no do you think I should make my own decorator ?

sage tendon Jan 28, 2025, 7:09 PM

#

id just make my own tbh

#

never knew its deprecated tho

ebon swift Jan 28, 2025, 7:15 PM

#

you're right I don't know why I remembered someone telling me it was deprecated. But in the past you told me I shouldn't use has_role cause it was an old relict

echo wraith Jan 28, 2025, 7:16 PM

#

ebon swift you're right I don't know why I remembered someone telling me it was deprecated....

Yeah but you should use slash commands with that

ebon swift Jan 28, 2025, 7:17 PM

#

I'm using slash commands with has_role actually, so if there is nothing bad with it then I don't need more help

echo wraith Jan 28, 2025, 7:18 PM

#

ebon swift I'm using slash commands with has_role actually, so if there is nothing bad with...

Is it in just one server

ebon swift Jan 28, 2025, 7:19 PM

#

no

echo wraith Jan 28, 2025, 7:19 PM

#

ebon swift no

Then yeah has_role is probably good

#

But how do you use has_role if it's in multipe servers

#

the roles are different between servers

ebon swift Jan 28, 2025, 7:21 PM

#

it checks for specific roles and will create the one needed for the games

echo wraith Jan 28, 2025, 7:22 PM

#

I'm not sure I understand

#

In any case

#

what Toothy meant was that you should edit the server's integration settings

#

and change there what role can use what command

round heart Jan 28, 2025, 7:23 PM

#

echo wraith I'm not sure I understand

His intention is that the bot manages the needed roles for his application - using his examples earlier, roles named "King", "Knight", etc.

He wants to be sure that application commands, when run, are checked against the named roles.

echo wraith Jan 28, 2025, 7:24 PM

#

Yeah so has_role is good for that

ebon swift Jan 28, 2025, 7:25 PM

it's not the same issue

would u recommend any other solutions

#

is there a workaround

echo wraith Jan 29, 2025, 12:46 PM

Basically, once you recieve an interaction from discord, you have 3 seconds to respond

#

and if your internet is too slow, you can't respond in 3 seconds

high spire Jan 29, 2025, 12:47 PM

the user has 3 seconds to respond?

high spire Jan 29, 2025, 12:47 PM

#

Ohhh

echo wraith Jan 29, 2025, 12:47 PM

once the user clicks on the button

#

or runs the command

#

or anything

#

you have 3 sec to respond with something

high spire Jan 29, 2025, 12:47 PM

#

why is it that when running commands there is no issue tho?

wouldn't they realistically have similar requirements to run it?

It has something to do with how you are respondingto or preforming actions on interactions. I believe specifically when you are dealing with ephemeral messages.
We would need more code to diagnose.

frail basin Jan 31, 2025, 6:04 AM

high spire why is that?

Thats because of how python works at a lower level.

If you have multiple functions with the same name, in the same scope, then it will always prioritize the "bottom" one.

I suspect its because discord.Client.get_guild isn't supported? so I just have to use the instance of the discord.Bot setup in my main file, which isn't connected to my cog?

So how would I be able to use bot.get_guild() when my cog doesn't inherent the bot

sage tendon Jan 31, 2025, 1:21 PM

#

high spire actually yes, the cog inherits from discord.ui.Modal

that makes no sense

#

for a class to be a cog it needs to subclass discord.Cog

#

if it doesnt its not a cog

#

@high spire @ionic wasp just to get you two straight on vocabulary

inherit means when you take over things from a superclass when you subclass a class
import (which you probably meant) is importing a value from another file, or a module etc

#

just so it doesnt cause confusion later on

wise harness Jan 31, 2025, 5:25 PM

Do grouped slash commands not work with user apps? For example I have this: (which doesn't register)

        discord.IntegrationType.guild_install,
        discord.IntegrationType.user_install,
    }, description="Get general stats of a player.")```

#

but this does:

@commands.slash_command(integration_types={
        discord.IntegrationType.guild_install,
        discord.IntegrationType.user_install,
    }, description="List of commands.")

lofty parcel Jan 31, 2025, 5:26 PM

You probably need to register the whole group as user installable.

#

Subcommands are not treated as separate commands by Discord.
