Basic Pycord Help

[fresh sierra]

they need to save them to display them on the website or for user to join those discovery server and fish for limited time rare fish

[sage tendon]

hm

[fresh sierra]

@ivory beacon what is ur message for the rate limit ?

is it a global rate limit or a rate limit under the bucket ...

[ivory beacon]

under a bucket ig

cz everything is working fine, without the fetch invite thing

[fresh sierra]

do you have the message ? to see under which one

[sage tendon]

cant you just occasionally refetch the data, and trust all invites in there to be active, at least at the time of getting new data from the API

[ivory beacon]

so, user can filter expired invite links

[fresh sierra]

gonna rate limit myself to find the limit

[ivory beacon]

idk how

[fresh sierra]

when you get rate limit usually pycord let you know it with a warning

[ivory beacon]

ig it's under a bucket

[sage tendon]

or does dank memer not clean out invalid invites

[fresh sierra]

so you dont have the message ?

do you have logging enabled ?

[ivory beacon]

they don't

[ivory beacon]

sadly, no

[fresh sierra]

also a 0.5 limit between each request might just be a global one

because you can only do 50 request in 10s

i'll check

[ivory beacon]

got unbanned

[fresh sierra]

.tag logging

[sly karma]

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

[fresh sierra]

in case this can help

[ivory beacon]

sure, I will explore it

[fresh sierra]

its just enable pycord logging so it tells you when ur rat elimit etc

[ivory beacon]

oke, let me explore

@fresh sierra which logging level should i use btw ?

[fresh sierra]

warning is the one needed if you want to see the rate limit

[ivory beacon]

oke

[fresh sierra]

just did a 1000 requests to the endpoint without no rate limit thats strange

[sage tendon]

💀

[fresh sierra]

seems that maybe if i use the same url it get cached or smth like that

[sage tendon]

just random gen it

like randomly generate the invite code and try

[fresh sierra]

@bot.event
async def on_ready():
    for i in range(10000):
        await bot.fetch_invite("pycord")

because no rate limit wiht that

[sage tendon]

10000 bro what

dude wants to be forever banned from the discord api

[fresh sierra]

well i didnt get any rate limit yet

it used to be faster

[ivory beacon]

ahh ? sure ?

let me use my spamming tool on replit

[fresh sierra]

well im testing again with random url now

def random_invite_code(length=6):
    return "".join(random.choices(string.ascii_letters + string.digits, k=length))


@bot.event
async def on_ready():
    print(f"Logged in as {bot.user}")
    for i in range(10000):
        try:
            await bot.fetch_invite(random_invite_code())
        except discord.NotFound:
            pass
        print(f"[{i+1}] ✅ Success")

but still not rate limit

well

now im banned

[sage tendon]

pff

[fresh sierra]

so yeah its a global one

<title>Access denied | discord.com used Cloudflare to restrict access</title>

[sage tendon]

damn you were cloudflare blocked

thats not even a discord ratelimit

[fresh sierra]

you should just make sure that you dont do more than 50requests per second

[fresh sierra]

always the case when global

[sage tendon]

they said they had like a 1.5s delay between each

[fresh sierra]

he said 0.5

but the thing is 0.5 between each for this might be ok, but since he got other thing on that ip that also do requests it leads to issue

so make sure ur ip doesnt do more than 50 requests per second else cloudfare ban

[ivory beacon]

btw the bot running on a Pterodactyl panel

[fresh sierra]

what you could do then is just use more ip

[ivory beacon]

" Because of this, I won’t be able to process all invite links at once. Instead, invite link data will be updated gradually during each discovery refresh "

i made this announcement 🙂

and I'm chilling

[fresh sierra]

IP addresses that make too many invalid HTTP requests are automatically and temporarily restricted from accessing the Discord API. Currently, this limit is 10,000 per 10 minutes. An invalid request is one that results in 401, 403, or 429 statuses.

[errant trout]

no one's hitting 50 per second unless their bot is exceedingly active, i wouldn't worry

[fresh sierra]

well he got rate limit under fetch_invite, so strange

how many bot do you have under the same ip d1p

[ivory beacon]

i am using bot hosting

so idk about that

[errant trout]

is it paid at least

[fresh sierra]

so you are using a shared thing ?

[ivory beacon]

yes

premium node

[fresh sierra]

its not only for u ?

[ivory beacon]

no

[fresh sierra]

well that can be the issue

if 1 person get rate limit then everyone will be

[ivory beacon]

but the thing is i got rate limited only for invites endpoint

[fresh sierra]

Except if you have ur own ip

[ivory beacon]

i am going to load test ngl

[ivory beacon]

yes, ik about that

[fresh sierra]

im pretty sure its global

cos i just did the test

and i didnt get any rate limit from discord

maybe you can just buy an ip, this should solve the issue of rate limit

[errant trout]

it's irrelevant if the rest of their bot wasn't affected

[fresh sierra]

it was from what i understood

[ivory beacon]

that's not a major issue

[fresh sierra]

was ur bot completly blocked ?

[ivory beacon]

no

[fresh sierra]

thats mb then, i misunderstood

[ivory beacon]

0.5 delay

[errant trout]

as long as you've set up logging you'll get proper warnings on the ratelimit

[ivory beacon]

I'd, let's see 🥳

[ivory beacon]

@fresh sierra
with 1 sec delay

ig 45 requests per minute

[fresh sierra]

maybe

[fresh sierra]

how does ur script works ?

is it also new invite code ?

[ivory beacon]

no,
https://discord.com/api/v10/invites/pycord

[ivory beacon]

checkout my github profile (not promoting)

[ivory beacon]

let me try

[fresh sierra]

and which one ?

[ivory beacon]

Blaze Hammer

[fresh sierra]

because i think it will not make again the request for the same invite code

[errant trout]

there's a decent chance the ratelimit is different authenticated vs unauthenticated

or did you pass the token and such in

[ivory beacon]

I'd request with unauth

[errant trout]

try your test with the Authorization header set to f"Bot {token}"

[ivory beacon]

is that possible to POST request ?

[ivory beacon]

oke

[fresh sierra]

and also generate new invite code each time, when its with the same it does not change

[ivory beacon]

sadly my script can't do with url :(

[errant trout]

you can't post to that endpoint, creating invite is under channels

[ivory beacon]

@fresh sierra

oke

[fresh sierra]

no idea, i tried from the bot because that's what is important in that case

[ivory beacon]

got no rate limit using 1 sec delay and bot token

[errant trout]

ic

well as long as the delay is sensible

[ivory beacon]

same as for 0.5

[fresh sierra]

yeah i think there is just no bucket and its global

[ivory beacon]

i think we should move on, that's a major issue 🥳

[fresh sierra]

let me just get rate limit 1 more time

so i can find the limit

[ivory beacon]

got rate limited 💔

[fresh sierra]

so using the same invite i dont get rate limit

[ivory beacon]

but i got rate limit 🥳

i was spamming the endpoint 🤣

[fresh sierra]

and when using different one i get rate limit at
[250] ✅ Success | Elapsed: 77.15s

so yeah after 250 requests in 77.15s the bot is not happy

[ivory beacon]

noted

pretty weird rate limit 🙂

[frail basin]

Are there plans for a View.from_dict() function for components V2? (Or something similar to Embed.from_dict())

I want to load components dynamically from a JSON file

[errant trout]

mayb

[silk spire]

Isn't there View.from_components

Nope

[errant trout]

added

[frail basin]

Thanks.

How do the callbacks work exactly? (If I supply a custom_id in the json)

[errant trout]

well it's not like you can assign a callback like that

hack around it

[valid panther]

Good afternoon, I'm making the version jump from 2.4.1 to 2.6.1. I've mainly seen changes in the groupSlash, but do you recommend that I check out something special?

[sage tendon]

only thing I know of is bridge changes

if you don't use bridge just update and see if everything works still

[dreamy hazel]

how can you specify the name and description of a command in a slashcommandgroup?

 foo = discord.SlashCommandGroup("bar", "baz")  # works
 @foo.command(...)
``` like this i mean

[echo wraith]

just add name =

and description =

[dreamy hazel]

oops yeah i forgot to put guild ids

so it worked but it didnt update instantly

my bad

thx

[dreamy hazel]

on another note, if i have guild_ids now specified in the 'foo', do i need to specify it in the command decorator too, or does it inherit?

[errant trout]

inherits

[dreamy hazel]

alright awesome thats all thanks

[lapis dock]

Note: that subcommands cannot have different guild_ids, defualt_member_permissions, etc. Discord limitation

[ebon swift]

Hello, I'm making my own discord.Bot class and I want my discord server to be an attribute of it how can I do it at init ? should I play with the discord.Client object ?

class MyBot(commands.Bot):
  def __init__(self, *args, **kwargs):
          log.debug("MyBot is starting up...")
          super().__init__(*args, **kwargs)
          self.main_guild: Guild = #??????????????
          self.database = Database(str(settings.postgres_url))
          log.info("Successfully connected to the database")
          log.info("Loading cogs...")
          self._load_cogs() # function to load my cogs

[little cobalt]

Why?

and why discord.Client if you already use discord.Bot?

[ebon swift]

That's an example of a cog using what I'm trying to achieve but on init I need my bot to have main_guild setup:

class Special(commands.Cog):
  def __init__(self, bot: MyBot):
          self.bot = bot
          self.role_special: Role = bot.main_guild.get_role(settings.special_role.id)

      @commands.Cog.listener()
      async def on_member_update(self, before: Member, after: Member):
          if self.role_special not in before.roles and self.role_special in after.roles:
              log.info(f"{after.display_name} was given the special role")
              await self._add(after.guild, after)
          elif self.role_special in before.roles and self.role_special not in after.roles:
              log.info(f"{after.display_name} was removed from the special role")
              await self._remove(after.guild, after)

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

[little cobalt]

Uhm, first what is "MyBot"?

[ebon swift]

This is #1132206148309749830 message

[little cobalt]

So you imported your bot from a another file?

[ebon swift]

I'll add details so you understand better

is it better now ?

It's a cog for my bot (at least an exmaple to not paste all the code ^^")

[errant trout]

my recommendation is using property py @property def guild(self): return self.get_guild(my_guild_id)

[ebon swift]

OOOOOOOOOOOOOH haven't thought about that ! I'll try it thank you

[errant trout]

allgood

[ebon swift]

sadly it doesn't work

it seems that when the cog is loaded the get_guild returns none 😦

[little cobalt]

well yea, because its using get_x

.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.

[little cobalt]

"When you restart your bot the cache will be empty"

[sage tendon]

just fetch it on startup and save it

[ebon swift]

HOOO ok thank you ! will try it !

[sage tendon]

or add the line to fetch it here if get is none

[ebon swift]

Thank you all

properties solved it cause I didn't go through inits to call those properties

and I didn't even have to use fetch so it's even better

[lapis dock]

Yeah, the init of the bot is run before the code connects to discord.

[valid panther]

I already used all commands with slash, the only_server() I have seen that it changed. But usually fine. You scared me when with changes haha

[sage tendon]

I just said bridge lol

[fiery fable]

Is there a way to get the guild_id to the autocomplete function of a slash_command?

[fresh sierra]

Ctx.interaction.guild.id

[fiery fable]

oh i didnt see the interaction attribute on ctx. thanks

[fiery fable]

somehow it doesnt get triggered 🤔

class Tags(commands.Cog):
    def __init__(self, bot):
        self.bot = bot
    
    async def autocomplete_tag_id(self, ctx: AutocompleteContext):
        tags: list[Tag] = await self.bot.db.get_all_tags(ctx.interaction.guild.id)
        return [tag.id for tag in tags]
    
    @slash_command(name="tag", guild_ids=[937023432929988638])
    async def tag(self, ctx: ApplicationContext, tag_id: Option(str, autocompete=basic_autocomplete(autocomplete_tag_id), description="The ID of the tag to show.")):
        ....

[sage tendon]

autocompete

you're missing an l

also this isnt necessary or anything but i just personally suggest you use the decorator to define options instead of the typehint, especially if you have many commands / many options
its a lot cleaner

[fiery fable]

oh yeah right looks better.
now i get an error about the self argument:

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "/home/mcbabo/tagger/.venv/lib/python3.12/site-packages/discord/bot.py", line 891, in callback

[sage tendon]

yea, you need that unless its a static method

oh wait

hm

[lapis dock]

It would need to be a staticmethod

[sage tendon]

yea but they need / want the bot var

[lapis dock]

ctx.bot exists tho so you should be fine

[fiery fable]

oh yeah u right, thanks!

[echo wraith]

.

[fiery fable]

In my log it says gateway-prd-us-east1-b-fcm4. Does that mean it connects to an us server? Are there no eu servers?

20.05.25 - 17:39:53 [INFO] [gateway.py] Shard ID 0 has connected to Gateway: ["gateway-prd-us-east1-b-fcm4", ....

[sage tendon]

where is your VPS running

[fiery fable]

should be frankfurt/de

[lapis dock]

The discord API servers are in the US east region

[sage tendon]

there are no EU ones???

no wonder the ping is always this shit

[lapis dock]

I think voice servers are distributed across the globe, but not API

[fiery fable]

thats some crazy shit

[shell radish]

east1 yeah

[round heart]

Hey, stupid sanity-check.

I have a slash command that normally I just invoke, .defer(), do some work in another class, and then ctx.respond()

If I want to provide some sort of progress message (e.g. "Step 1 complete", etc etc), will I have to change this setup in some way? Like my progress messages would 'respond' but then I'd have to then edit the message afterwards or something, yeah?

And if so, how can I tell if I need to edit vs straight respond - I thought there was an 'is_responded' flag, but can't find it on ApplicationContext

[lapis dock]

respond handles send vs edit for you.

[sage tendon]

followups as well!

[round heart]

So I could just ctx.respond() my progress, and then my ending ctx.respond() will simply handle it all?

[lapis dock]

wait i might be wrong

[sage tendon]

you are right wolfy

[lapis dock]

defer -> respond -> respond would result in 2 messages tho
For the second part of your question it is avalivle in the InteractionResponse object https://docs.pycord.dev/en/master/api/models.html#discord.InteractionResponse.is_done

[round heart]

Oh, yuck. What about for a single message. (Discord dropped the ball here; sharing what the progress is seems kind of basic, vs simply "bot is thinking")

[lapis dock]

You want
defer -> respond -> edit_original_response

[hazy turret]

Why do I always get None when I try to access bot emojis with emoji = bot.get_emoji(emoji_id) ?

[sage tendon]

application emojis aren't supported yet

you can still just use them via the markdown tho

[hazy turret]

Does that mean I have to implement Markdown in the code?

[sage tendon]

copy the markdown from the dev portal and paste it into your bot response

[hazy turret]

Okay thanks

Can I also set them as button emoji?

[sage tendon]

no idea

[echo wraith]

Yeah probably w/ PartialEmoji

[hazy turret]

Okay thanks

[sage tendon]

uhhhhh

emoji.read() failed, what

[hazy turret]

If I simply send the markdown on the server into the chat, the emoji is displayed briefly and then immediately afterwards only :invite:

[sage tendon]

thats not the emoji markdown tho

copy it from the dev portal

[hazy turret]

I do.
It works here on the server. Not on my test server 😄

:invite:

Oh, but not

[sage tendon]

show your code

[hazy turret]

:invite:

[sage tendon]

that is not the markdown the dev portal gives you

[hazy turret]

But I am in the Dev Portal and click on “Copy Markdown”

[sage tendon]

i just did too, and i get a properly formatted string

[hazy turret]

:invite:

It does not work

[sage tendon]

show the actual code

[hazy turret]

It does not work with any Markdown from the Dev Portal, not even with other emojis from bots

[sage tendon]

you cant use other bots' emojis..

[hazy turret]

It's my own bot

async def send_test_embed(channel):
    embed = discord.Embed(
        title="Test Embed",
        description="This is a test embed with a markdown emoji from the Dev Portal :invite:",
        color=0x3498db 
    )
    
    await channel.send(embed=embed)```

The Markdown is always reformatted directly

[fiery fable]

you need the full emoji

[sage tendon]

dude

i said to use the markdown you copy from the dev portal

not that shorthand form

[hazy turret]

This is what I send and then it is reformatted directly to when I send it.

[sage tendon]

yea that is correct tho

if thats actually how it is in your code

[hazy turret]

Yes, but it is reformatted directly

[sage tendon]

that is normal because the client does that

are you 100% sure you uploaded it to the right application

[hazy turret]

Yes

I have an idea.
I'll test it tomorrow.
Thank you

[fiery fable]

does somebody uses docker to host the bot? i like the container principle but then i cant reload cogs :/

[little cobalt]

Why?

[fiery fable]

what why

[little cobalt]

oh wait, container you mean the new discord stuff or what was again?

[fiery fable]

no a docker container. the bot as a docker image

[sage tendon]

that is not what they're asking lol

[frail basin]

Kinda defeats the purpose of docker as a whole but you could make a "dev image" which straight up attaches your src folder as a volume

Would also have the benefit of not having to build it again and again

[echo wraith]

Right

[faint sky]

pycord can handle slash commands right? but why arent my commands poping up on discord when i run it?

[echo wraith]

https://docs.docker.com/compose/how-tos/file-watch/

This, or mounting the src folder in the container

[echo wraith]

.tag slashnoshow

[sly karma]

Application Commands Not Showing Up?

• Refresh Discord by restarting or pressing Ctrl+R (or Command ⌘ + R)
• Uninstall libraries that conflict with the discord namespace (e.g. discord.py).
• Invite your bot with the application.commands scope.
• Load cogs before bot.run() (e.g. not in on_ready).
• Do not override on_connect.
• Update to the newest version of py-cord (see ?tag install).
• Turn off User Settings > Accessibility > Chat Input > Use legacy chat input.
• Share your code and errors.

[frail basin]

Is this a known issue?

Discord doesnt display the possible values like for discord.TextChannel

[frail basin]

I am sure that the command is up to date and I am running this exact code.
I am not running multiple instances of the bot.

[fresh sierra]

It’s not an issue

Threads are just considered «subchannel » and so cannot be just shown like this

To see all of the thing you can use you should check this

[rugged lodge]

Searched in pycord

discord.SlashCommandOptionType
discord.SlashCommandOptionType.attachment
discord.SlashCommandOptionType.boolean
discord.SlashCommandOptionType.channel
discord.SlashCommandOptionType.integer
discord.SlashCommandOptionType.mentionable
discord.SlashCommandOptionType.number
discord.SlashCommandOptionType.role
discord.SlashCommandOptionType.string
discord.SlashCommandOptionType.sub_command
discord.SlashCommandOptionType.sub_command_group
discord.SlashCommandOptionType.user
discord.SlashCommandGroup.integration_types

Searched in pycord

discord.ChannelType.public_thread

[frail basin]

^

Thats a valid option for SlashCommandOptionType.channel

[fresh sierra]

That’s a channel type, not a slashcommandoptiontype

Then that’s mb

For as far as I know thread cannot be used as option

Let me check

[frail basin]

channel_types: list[:class:discord.ChannelType] | None
A list of channel types that can be selected in this option.
Only applies to Options with an :attr:input_type of :class:discord.SlashCommandOptionType.channel.
If this argument is used, :attr:input_type will be ignored.

^^^^^
from the docstring

[fresh sierra]

yeah ur corrrect

@frail basin do you mean those one ?

[frail basin]

yes

Specifically type 11

[fresh sierra]

public thread seems to work for me so its a bit strange

maybe i do confuse the public thread and the private one tho

[frail basin]

Could you please try that exact line of code? (@discord.option(...))

[frail basin]

well neither work

for me

[fresh sierra]

this is my current implementation

[frail basin]

Yeah no clue then

[fresh sierra]

are you sure you dont have another process active ?

and are you on master or 2.6?.1 ?

[frail basin]

master

[frail basin]

.

[fresh sierra]

do you restart ur client between the change ?

[frail basin]

yes

ofc

[echo wraith]

Ping me later if this is confirmed to be an issue with the lib, I'll take a look

[frail basin]

"I am sure that the command is up to date"

[fresh sierra]

yeah no idea, we have the same code

[fresh sierra]

i dont think it is, its working great on my side

[frail basin]

might be the lib, also happens for someone else on a different device / client

same command

[frail basin]

Could you try with a non modified library version?

[fresh sierra]

just did

and working great

import discord

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


@bot.command()
@discord.option("test", channel_types=[discord.ChannelType.public_thread])
async def test(ctx: discord.ApplicationContext, test: discord.Thread): ...

[frail basin]

could you try putting it behind a slash command group?

/group˙test <thread>

[fresh sierra]

working great too

[echo wraith]

Hmm

[undone merlin]

I'll try it too

[echo wraith]

You can't set command_prefix on discord.Bot

[undone merlin]

works for me

[fresh sierra]

ik, i just edit the thing quickly to test his thing

[echo wraith]

@manager.command(name="regenerate-commission-type-post", description="Remakes the post for a commission type.")
@discord.option(name="thread", description="The post to regenerate.", channel_types=[discord.ChannelType.public_thread], required=True) async def regenerate_ticket_category_post(self, ctx: CustomApplicationContext, thread: discord.Thread):

[frail basin]

This MRC reproduces my issue

import discord
import os
__import__("dotenv").load_dotenv()

bot = discord.Bot(intents=discord.Intents.all())

@bot.slash_command(name="test", description="Test command")
@discord.option(name="option", description="Test option", channel_types=[discord.ChannelType.public_thread])
async def test(ctx: discord.ApplicationContext, option: discord.Thread):
    await ctx.respond(f"Test command with thread: {option.name}")

@bot.listen("on_ready")
async def on_ready():
    print(f"Logged in as {bot.user.name} - {bot.user.id}")
    print("Bot is ready.")

bot.run(os.getenv("TOKEN"))

doesnt even need the group

[fresh sierra]

let me try this

[frail basin]

Actually I am not on master but the cv2 pr

ill try master

[echo wraith]

Oh f

[fresh sierra]

wait i was in the wrong guild

[frail basin]

same issue on master

[fresh sierra]

no its working on my end

are you sure that the thread is in fact public ?

[frail basin]

forum channels only have public threads

and the forum channel is public too, just to make sure

[fresh sierra]

can youinvite me

in the guild where the bot is ?

to test if it can be a client issue

[frail basin]

oh what the fuck

it works for normal threads

but not for post threads

probably a discord issue then?

[fresh sierra]

maybe

[frail basin]

Could you please test and confirm?

[echo wraith]

.tag ddevs

[sly karma]

https://discord.gg/discord-developers

[frail basin]

The only response I'll get there is "use d.js"

Or kids spamming . in the thread

[echo wraith]

Well do they have the issue or not w/ djs

[fresh sierra]

To test i need you to invite me

So I can try using the same thing as you

[frail basin]

With your bot I mean

[fresh sierra]

With my bot it’s working

[frail basin]

Forum posts too?

TextChannel threads work for me too it turns out

[fresh sierra]

I only tried this one

[frail basin]

dm-d then

[echo wraith]

@frail basin The issue is it can't show forum posts ? If that is the issue I can't reproduce.

Note that it only shows posts that are open for you

My test code:

import logging
import os
from dotenv import load_dotenv

import discord

load_dotenv()

logging.basicConfig(level=logging.DEBUG)

TOKEN = os.getenv("TOKEN_3")

bot = discord.Bot(intents=discord.Intents.all())


class MyCog(discord.Cog):
    manager = discord.SlashCommandGroup("manager", "Commands for managing the bot.")
    @manager.command(name="regenerate-commission-type-post", description="Remakes the post for a commission type.")
    @discord.option(name="thread", description="The post to regenerate.", channel_types=[discord.ChannelType.public_thread], required=True) 
    async def regenerate_ticket_category_post(self, ctx: discord.ApplicationContext, thread: discord.Thread):
        await ctx.respond(f"{thread.mention}")

bot.add_cog(MyCog(bot))

bot.run(TOKEN)

[frail basin]

we tried with luma

seems to be a client issue

[echo wraith]

What's your client ? Maybe try with canary

[frail basin]

trying to narrow down to specific versions right now

[frail basin]

up to date firefox, browser client

[echo wraith]

try https://canary.discord.com/channels/@me

[frail basin]

works there

I guess they are testing in prod again

[echo wraith]

[sage tendon]

what

[echo wraith]

Whatever

[fiery fable]

thanks ill look into it

[sage tendon]

reloading cogs for code changes literally defeats the entire purpose of docker

[echo wraith]

It's fine if it's only while developing

[fresh sierra]

Why is that an issue to reload cog when using docker ?

[sage tendon]

because the entire purpose of docker is to ship an immutable and static environment that you can 10000% rely on once you tested it, because nothing changes

if you just change stuff in the same container regularly just dont use docker

[fresh sierra]

How would you do then if there is a code change ? Restart the whole container ?

Im not familiar with docker even tho i think ptero uses it

[sage tendon]

build a new image and put it in the container

or whatever the exact terminology is

it's like versioning
you dont change the files of an existing version, EVER

[fresh sierra]

So like docker is not really somewhere where you put ur code

Is more like a image I see

[sage tendon]

luma please just look up docker

[fresh sierra]

Don’t really need to, this explanation is enough for me

[sage tendon]

im 98% sure you misunderstood

[fresh sierra]

And I do like the human contact when it comes to learning things

[fresh sierra]

Docker should be static like an image

[sage tendon]

https://docs.docker.com/get-started/docker-concepts/the-basics/what-is-an-image/

[fresh sierra]

Since I’m not using it that’s ok, if one day I need to use it ofc I’ll documente myself more

[fresh sierra]

I do know what it’s an image dw, but thanks still

[sage tendon]

the point is just, if you want / need to change stuff in a docker container, you dont need docker

[round heart]

Docker is very overused (and overhyped, and overvalued)

[sage tendon]

the world runs on it for a large part tho

[round heart]

That's a stretch. Is it often used? Yes... but "the world runs on it" is a bit exaggerated.

[faint sky]

?tag install

[limber wagon]

1. Uninstall discord.py or any other forks of discord.py you might have with the namespace discord.
python -m pip uninstall discord.py discord -y

2a. Install py-cord
python -m pip install py-cord

2b. Update py-cord
python pip install -U py-cord

Installing other builds:
Note: You need to have git installed. Use ?tag git to find out how to install git.

Updating the module to master branch (unstable):
pip install -U git+https://github.com/Pycord-Development/pycord

[hazy turret]

Is it possible to integrate a custom listener in the bot and trigger it at a certain event?

[sage tendon]

of course

[hazy turret]

How can I do this?

[sage tendon]

@discord.Cog.listener()
async def eventname(...):

[hazy turret]

And how can I trigger the event so that the bot listens to it?

[sage tendon]

oh you mean a non discord event?

[hazy turret]

Yes

[sage tendon]

do you have two seperate things running on your server or

where does the second event come from

[hazy turret]

e.g. when I receive a webhook on an integrated web server. Can I then trigger an event "receive webhook" and the bot listens to it?

[sage tendon]

so its two different processes on your vps?

[hazy turret]

No, I have a very simple aiohttp web server integrated in a cog. So theoretically I have the possibility to access the bot.

Ah okay, I got the idea myself.
I can access the bot directly then I don't need a custom event 😄

[sage tendon]

so then just call the function lol

[hazy turret]

nvm

[fresh sierra]

Using dispatch

bot.dispatch(ur_event), and then just do async def on_ur_event()

[sage tendon]

why would you ever do that instead of just calling the function tho

[echo wraith]

it doesn't wait

[sage tendon]

its threaded?

[echo wraith]

no

async

but uses create task

[sage tendon]

hm

[frail basin]

The same reason the lib uses the event system lol

[terse arrow]

Hey all - For some reason my slash command is not appearing, I've waited for around an hour but still not appearing. I cant see anything wrong with it any advice would be great -

@bot.slash_command(description="Show recent entries in the command log (admin only).")
async def logo_tool_show_log(ctx: discord.ApplicationContext, lines: int = 10):
    if get_user_privilege(str(ctx.author.id)) != "admin":
        await ctx.send("🚫 Only admins can use this command.")
        return
    try:
        with open("command_log.txt", "r") as log_file:
            entries = log_file.readlines()[-lines:]
            await ctx.send(f"📄 Recent Log Entries:")
    except FileNotFoundError:
        await ctx.send("⚠️ Log file not found.")

[sly karma]

Application Commands Not Showing Up?

• Refresh Discord by restarting or pressing Ctrl+R (or Command ⌘ + R)
• Uninstall libraries that conflict with the discord namespace (e.g. discord.py).
• Invite your bot with the application.commands scope.
• Load cogs before bot.run() (e.g. not in on_ready).
• Do not override on_connect.
• Update to the newest version of py-cord (see ?tag install).
• Turn off User Settings > Accessibility > Chat Input > Use legacy chat input.
• Share your code and errors.

[little cobalt]

also slash commandsare using ctx.respond and not ctx.send

[terse arrow]

Thanks - I'll take a look now

[sage tendon]

you should use @discord.default_permissions to check for the invoking user's permissions instead of the way you do

especially because it hides the command from everyone else

and if you log every command invokation you should definitely use an async file handler and also put it into a util function so you don't duplicate it everywhere

[lapis dock]

FYI the 1 hour thing is outdate information. Both global and guild commands register almost instantly. You just need to refresh your discord client cache with ctrl+r

[terse arrow]

Thanks for the update, turns out I didn't define my bot properly and all good now thanks all

[fresh sierra]

you should use aiofile instead of file since file is blocking

[lapis dock]

or use the logging module

[sage tendon]

thanks for repeating what I said

[fresh sierra]

im sorry but could you show me in which message you talk about aiofile ?

[sage tendon]

.

just couldn't remember the name

[fresh sierra]

so you did not say the name

so i did not repeat you

[sage tendon]

sigh

[fresh sierra]

so thanks you for the unnecessary yapping ;)

[eternal kite]

I think something is wrong with the view timeout

I set it to 10 minutes, but when someone respond to the view, the timeout extends

so I have a view and about 30 different people clicked on the view, have been 20 minutes since and it still did not timeout

[sage tendon]

thats expected and by design

[eternal kite]

wdym

[sage tendon]

i mean just what i said

it's not wrong

[eternal kite]

huh

[sage tendon]

it's just how its supposed to work

[eternal kite]

it's been more than 10 minutes since the last player who clicked the button

so how long are we talking if 30 people clicked the button?

[sage tendon]

the timeout is reset when a person clicks the button

that simple

[eternal kite]

yeah i know but it's been more than 10 minutes

[sage tendon]

and if you click the button?

[eternal kite]

nevermind it just timeout now

but

i got an error saying invalid webhook

token

[round heart]

Is the only way to have a callback on a button to subclass it?
Like you can't self.add_item(discord.ui.Button(...)) in the view and have a callback function?

[lofty parcel]

I mean you could assign the function manually

Button.callback = my_function

I used to do that in an old project where the callback behaved almost the same in every button so they shared the same func

[round heart]

That makes sense. Thank you.

[errant trout]

just note that when you aren't using the decorator, the only argument callback takes is interaction

[round heart]

Hm. Why is my View not getting the message (where many of my other VIews reference self.message just fine)?

Ah, okay. It must populate it afterwards. I can't reference it in the constructor (to to my Button)
(This must also explain why I've had inconsistent referencing of self.view; just depends on where)

[sonic onyx]

How do I actually invite my bot to a server?

[lofty parcel]

You generate an oauth url on the dev portal

[sonic onyx]

It requires a redirect link, but it seems I have to have my own redirect because my bot isn't public?

Do I have to host my own website to have a private bot?

[shell radish]

what are the oauth scopes?

[errant trout]

You've overcomplicated it, disable the url options on dev portal

[sonic onyx]

Oh weird. I didn't realize the URl disappears if you want any scopes other than bot & application commands

[fiery fable]

which git repo should i pull to get the container components working?

[echo wraith]

.tag cv2

[sly karma]

Components V2 are under development in pycord and aren't yet included in the official releases on PyPI or the master GitHub branch. However, you can access the features now by installing directly from the pull request #2707. To do this, use the following command: pip install git+https://github.com/Pycord-Development/pycord.git@refs/pull/2707/head Please be aware that this is a development version and may contain bugs, feel free to report them by adding a comment to the pull request.

[fiery fable]

oh okay so not git+https://github.com/NeloBlivion/pycord@components-v2?

[echo wraith]

I think that should also work ? They're equivalent afaik

[stable coyote]

hi friends, why do i get an ModuleNotFoundError: No module named 'audioop' error when trying to import discord? maybe lacking dependencies?

[echo wraith]

.tag audioop

[sly karma]

Pycord 2.6.1 may work with Python 3.13, but it is not officially supported and can cause various issues. Until Pycord 2.7 includes official support for Python 3.13, it is recommended to use a previous version.

For voice features in Pycord versions before 2.7, you might need to run pip install audioop-lts. Some users have reported issues with voice features when using Python 3.13, so ensure that you clear the __pycache__ and .pyc files before running your bot.

[stable coyote]

sure, what version do you use?

[echo wraith]

either pip install audioop-lts or use python 3.9-3.12

[stable coyote]

makes sense, one last thing: can you guide me to somewhere i can learn about taking input in slash commands?

[rugged lodge]

Here's the slash basic example.

[echo wraith]

@stable coyote take a look at the examples

[fiery fable]

@errant trout what do you say? (sry for ping)

[echo wraith]

You can use that one if you want it shouldn't change anything, it references the same code since the pr is from that branch

[errant trout]

Yeah it works

[stable coyote]

is ctx.member not a thing anymore?

[errant trout]

Don't think it was ever a thing, it's ctx.author

Or do you mean the bot member? That's ctx.me

[stable coyote]

oh god, i've really forgotten everything. thanks bud

[errant trout]

Allgood

[frail basin]

Apparently the issue was that I am not "subscribed" to the forum post

[fresh sierra]

That’s strange

[echo wraith]

Note that it only shows posts that are open for you

:)

[frail basin]

oh

Completely missed that part

[fresh sierra]

Thats a strange decision from discord

(In my opinion

[echo wraith]

nw at least now you found out why

[frail basin]

Any workarounds other than @everyone?

[fresh sierra]

Autocomplete

[echo wraith]

wdym to make everyone be in the post or to make it show up for everyone ?

[frail basin]

2nd

[echo wraith]

yeah autocomplete

[rugged lodge]

Here's the slash autocomplete example.

[frail basin]

I wanted to avoid that since discord doesnt enforce that

I guess I'll have to then.

[sage tendon]

the people can always put in the thread ID

[frail basin]

UX nightmare

[fresh sierra]

Wdym by enforce that ?

[frail basin]

like they do with choices

you can enter any value, not just the ones I return with the autocomplete

[echo wraith]

Yerah unfortunately there isn't really any other solution :/

[frail basin]

Is this documented anywhere btw?

[echo wraith]

dont think so
https://discord.com/developers/docs/interactions/application-commands#application-command-object-application-command-option-type

[fresh sierra]

Ooo I see

That’s annoying I agree with you

[tidal pecan]

You can still take whatever input the user gives and double-check it in your code, and return errors or warnings indicating that a bad value was presented. I think the real issue isn't in the autocomplete itself, but in the way that the Discord App displays those textbox inputs. It's strictly one kind of input box, say a standard Textbox as opposed to a Combobox with limited dropdown options.

[stable coyote]

how was it that we do the response only visible to the author again?

[echo wraith]

ephemeral=True

[stable coyote]

yay!

[lethal loom]

[nocturne jewel]

is it possible to set different Rich Presence(s) texts for different Discord servers? For example, having one text on 50 servers and another on the other 50?"

[cursive swallow]

Nope

[shell radish]

you can set it by shard

[eternal kite]

so i've done some analysis about the high ram usage by sorting out gc.collect(), and this is the result i get, is this normal?

there are about 326k objects during the time i start my bot, and rises to 500k+ in 24 hours

[echo wraith]

How many guilds is the bot in

[eternal kite]

700+?

maybe im not sure

it doesn't exceed 1k

[echo wraith]

How much ram is actually being used?

[eternal kite]

3gb

overtime i mean

1gb when it's low

i just threw a bunch of data into chatgpt and they said it's a clear memory leak but they did not provide a solution

[echo wraith]

I'm not sure it's a clear memory leak

[eternal kite]

i didn't know my bot was this complicated?

yea dict objects increased by 15.7k in garbage collector in mere 10 minutes

i think there are like 100+ active users rn

it's an economy bot though i understand the frequency of commands used causes more ram usage but that's just too much

[echo wraith]

That's weird... It's possible that something is wrong in pycord internals but tbh I wouldn't know where to start looking. Would you mind sharing what some of those dict objects look like ?

[eternal kite]

one sec i really need to find a way to look through 360k objects

[echo wraith]

Just print 10 random ones

Should be enough to see if there's a pattern

[eternal kite]

alr im restarting my bot now, one moment

im assuming it's the user data from my database tho

because that's the only place i can think of that contains a large amount of dict and lists

but aren't variables getting deleted after the function finishes running?

[eternal kite]

uh most of them are just discord's stuff

one sec, i'll print the variable that gets accumulated over time instead of random picked variables

[sour widget]

got this in one file:

random_commands_group = discord.SlashCommandGroup("random")

and this inside cog in different file:

@random_commands_group.command(
        name="advancements",
        description="Returns random advancement that matches the parameters"
    )
async def random_command(self, ctx: discord.ApplicationContext, title: str)
  ...

but I don't see the command, found this issue https://github.com/pycord-development/pycord/issues/2429, but got this error

you cant do that by default, spreading a commandgroup across different files

there is an extension for that but I'd honestly just recommend doing it in one file

[sour widget]

uh

just need it for different cogs

ok, thanks.

[fresh sierra]

use pycord multicog then

https://github.com/Dorukyum/pycord-multicog

[valid panther]

I have a question, would putting the “context” and the decorator “@guild_only” be repetitive?

[shell radish]

yes

[valid panther]

I understand that it is a discord problem, because without the tag “guild_only” I can see the command in private bot_dm

[sage tendon]

no, you are just passing the kwarg wrong

it's contexts

[valid panther]

fuck

[round heart]

You may have misspelled 'oops, thank you'

[valid panther]

thxx

[lapis dock]

I do sometimes find py-cord use of **kwargs annoying. Especially because I can not spell ephermerial any time I try.

[errant trout]

ephemeral*

Idk if you use it so much you'll end up remembering how to spell it

[shell radish]

ephemeral

learning how to pronounce words helps

[lapis dock]

Pretty sure it is ephermeral /j

[shell radish]

eh-phe-mer-al

[sage tendon]

ephemereal

[lapis dock]

This is actually true, no idea how it is said aloud.

[hexed herald]

and then I sit there and just let copilot write it for me xD
I change everything except ephermeral

[fresh sierra]

had trouble with this one for a longggggg time, ephemeral or emepheral (my brain was just not connecting it to éphémère (french ))

[edgy nest]

ephemeral

[limber cedar]

How exactly can I ignore this warning?

DeprecationWarning: interaction is deprecated since version 2.6, consider using interaction_metadata instead. See https://discord.com/developers/docs/change-log#userinstallable-apps-preview for more information.
  if message.interaction.type == 2:
DeprecationWarning: interaction is deprecated since version 2.6, consider using interaction_metadata instead. See https://discord.com/developers/docs/change-log#userinstallable-apps-preview for more information.
  if message.interaction.name == command:

I understand the nature of this warning; I already added some lines to attempt to filter those warnings out but they still print to the console

def is_dank_slash_command(message: discord.Message, command: str):
    if message.author.id == dank_memer_id:
        with warnings.catch_warnings():
            warnings.filterwarnings("ignore", category=DeprecationWarning)
            if message.interaction is not None:
                if message.interaction.type == 2:
                    if message.interaction.name == command:
                        return True
    return False

[echo wraith]

Monkey patching my beloved

[fresh sierra]

but why not use interaction_metadata ? does it lack information that you need ? (it does lack name)

[fresh sierra]

Can you try something like that ?

class IgnoreDeprecatedInteractionFilter(logging.Filter):
    def filter(self, record):
        if "interaction is deprecated" in record.getMessage():
            return False
        return True

logger.addFilter(IgnoreDeprecatedInteractionFilter())

[limber cedar]

Yep I need .name to figure out the command a user is running on another bot

[limber cedar]

Trying this out but I doubt it works for me since I don't use the logging module

Actually

maybe it wil;

[fresh sierra]

the warning you getting is not the one from pycord ?

[limber cedar]

It is

I forgot discord.py/pycord uses the logging module

never mind, didn't work

[fresh sierra]

but py-cord needs you to activate logging for it to work

so that mean its a real error

[limber cedar]

Like this, right?

import logging

logger = logging.getLogger('discord')


class IgnoreDeprecatedInteractionFilter(logging.Filter):
    def filter(self, record):
        if "interaction is deprecated" in record.getMessage():
            return False
        return True

logger.addFilter(IgnoreDeprecatedInteractionFilter())

[fresh sierra]

yep, but it just mean the warning is python warning and not logging.warn, that's mb

[limber cedar]

nw

But yeah the warnings are still showing

[fresh sierra]

it might be beause pycord use stderr and not warning module

well it does use warnings for this part

[little cobalt]

For what do you even need that?

[fresh sierra]

@little cobalt

[little cobalt]

I saw that

[fresh sierra]

idk how accurate this is but this would explain why the with warnings.catch_warnings(): does not work

[fresh sierra]

then i dont understand what you dont get

[little cobalt]

I mean the "message.Interaction"

[fresh sierra]

"Yep I need .name to figure out the command a user is running on another bot"

because interaction metadata does not have this info

[sage tendon]

the best solution is to not ignore deprecation warnings at all kekw

[silk spire]

^^ the field is deprecated for a reason

And discord doesn't want to expose the name for interaction_metadata

Find other ways to detect the command or just don't lmao

[fresh sierra]

why do py-cord is blocking the warning message ignore ?

[lapis dock]

Probably just how deprecation warning is set up.

[silk spire]

Because deprecation warnings shouldn't be ignored?

[fresh sierra]

yeah but if the user ignore it that on him and means he knows that

[silk spire]

It's warning you to stop using it over removing it directly and potentially breaking thousands of bots

[echo wraith]

No it doesn't, it means you're using a feature that might stop working at sime point

Who in their right mind would to that ?

[fresh sierra]

if you cannot change it at the moment, having ur console flod might be inconvenient

[silk spire]

That's on you for not reading the changelog of a major update or docs for the attr/meth and just blindly updating

[fresh sierra]

Im not saying that, lets say he needs right now to use the name and he doesn’t have any other solution

Having his console full of warning when he already knows that it’s gonna be depreciated can be annoying

[silk spire]

He can just not use it?

It's not supported (anymore)

No one needs to rely on checking another bot's command

[fresh sierra]

I do get the initial warning but forcing the user to not be able to easily ignore it I don’t really get that

[silk spire]

[sage tendon]

and breaking semver

[sage tendon]

there are use cases for that

imo discord is at fault here for just removing info from the API

I use the field too for something completely different

[silk spire]

Other than sending "omg! Thank you for doing that!!"?

[silk spire]

Oh definitely

[sage tendon]

it has nothing to do with another bots command or anything

[silk spire]

And their reason to not document is stupid

[echo wraith]

Now, I don't agree on that, I have heard of some use cases that seem legitimate to me, however, I agree that there is no justification for using a deprecated feature

[silk spire]

What are these cases 👀

[echo wraith]

If the feature is deprecated you should just not use it.

[lapis dock]

IE if you want only one command to be able to be used in a channel nevermind you can do that with integration settings

[echo wraith]

eg #1315663969595166720 message

There's some others but I can't find them rn

[silk spire]

That doesn't include the reason lol

But ig command usage tracking for the server is a good one

[sage tendon]

ctx.channel moment

[echo wraith]

Yeah, in any case the feature should just not be used

whatever going to go back to doing integrals

[sage tendon]

yikes

[silk spire]

I just looked up what that is.. goodluck 💀

[echo wraith]

thanks 😭

My bot uses message.interaction in on_message, resulting in many logged DeprecationWarnings. I understand the implications of continuing to use .interaction, my intent in suppressing them wasn’t to ignore best practices but to reduce noise while retaining this feature temporarily

It allows my bot to perform actions based on specific user interactions with another bot, this would be degraded if I removed message.interaction prematurely.

That’s on you for not reading the changelog of a major update or docs for the attr/meth and just blindly updating

I did look out for problems when updating and read the relevant documentation when I discovered this, including the linked API reference in the DeprecationWarning. I also asked about it previously here. I made a deliberate decision to upgrade for the improvements in 2.6 and accept the warnings as a tradeoff.

I find it unfair and patronising to assume I updated “blindly” based on a few messages without the full context. I already looked into everything I could find regarding this change before deciding to proceed.

He can just not use it?
It’s not supported (anymore)

I fully understand what deprecation means. I left the usage of .interaction in my bot with full awareness, not ignorance. Until discord removes it entirely or provides an alternative I need it to maintain accuracy for a live feature.

[errant trout]

uhhh idk what issues you're having with suppressing the warnings, but if you really want you can fully override the function

def some_func(*args, **kwargs):
 return None
discord.utils.warn_deprecated = some_func
```run it after your imports in your main bot file

(this is pretty silly, but eh if you're that desperate then it's not the worst thing i've ever seen)

alternatively, instead of accessing message.interaction you can fetch the raw data -> access the ["interaction"] key

(on master/next release, this would be message._raw_data["interaction"])

[limber cedar]

@errant trout this didn’t work basically

Like it had no effect

[errant trout]

yeah i backread

[limber cedar]

I’ll try this

Thank youu

[errant trout]

idk much about filter but this silly override method should work if you want to break the deprecation warnings entirely

[limber cedar]

It’s fine, I’d rather go for accessing the raw data directly, gives me more flexibility especially if it’s removed without warning

[errant trout]

fair

[limber cedar]

Wouldn’t want to accidentally erase any other future deprecation warnings either

[errant trout]

but yeah staff was pretty adamant on not documenting interaction_metadata.name https://github.com/discord/discord-api-docs/pull/6734

so we can't either

[limber cedar]

Yep I fully understand that, I recall seeing that gh thread before

[undone merlin]

Hello everyone, I'm currently getting this error in my terminal even tho the ID's are all correct. I have the same logic for 2 other ticket systems that take place in a different server but I dont get this issue whereas in an another server with 2 ticket systems I'm getting this issue:

Ignoring exception in modal <discord.ui.modal.Modal object at 0x00000242B22B6F90>:

AttributeError: 'NoneType' object has no attribute 'id'

[tidal pecan]

I think it's saying that your variable target is None at the point where you attempt to retrieve the value of target.id

To clarify: "Your" variable target is actually in py-cord by the time the NoneType exception is raised. You would want to examine your own code in (it looks like) deep.py starting on line 218. One of those 4 lines of code is passing on a value which is ultimately turning into the target var a couple of calls later.

[errant trout]

Check all your overwrites are valid users/roles

[tidal pecan]

I was poking into those functions in guild.py and the overwrites is the only possible place for that issue to arise, I think.

[errant trout]

pretty much

[undone merlin]

It's a category ID under which a new channel opens up after a user fills out a modal

[errant trout]

i mean just check that you didn't pass None as a key

[undone merlin]

I honestly can't figure out the problem as 2 of my other systems follow the same suit and work perfectly fine

[undone merlin]

Nope

[errant trout]

show your overwrites dict

[undone merlin]

Is it better if I store ID's like

example = [1234567889010, 09876543231241]

or in a dictionary

[errant trout]

i mean

why a dictionary

[undone merlin]

I didn't think this would be a problem because other ticket systems work

[little cobalt]

For what?

[errant trout]

did you actually check your overwrites dict

[undone merlin]

I did

[errant trout]

one of the keys is resolving to None

print all of them

[tidal pecan]

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

I think this shows that the overwrites parameter to Guild.create_text_channel is expected to be a dict, by Py-Cord itself.

[errant trout]

They're talking about something else

[tidal pecan]

So I posted this code: #1377282622647963689 message

You can just import this code-file and then instance the Log class and call iter_full, passing your overwrites as 'iterable_thingy.' It will explode the whole iterable and drill into additional iterable-elements found inside, listing off the data type and content of each element in each iterable.

[undone merlin]

I'm using a list and all all variables are given a value

[errant trout]

pls just

show your code

[tidal pecan]

Your initial call to Guild.create_text_channel is passing 'overwrites' unmodified and untested to Guild._create_channel. At that point, Guild._create_channel is running tests against each 'Permission' member of your 'overwrites' iterable. The permission itself is passing all the tests, verifying that each element is in fact an instance of PermissionOverwrite. This occurs in a for target,perm in overwrites.items() loop. Shortly after, the 'target' parameter (which is totally untested in both calls) is called for its id attribute, and at that point the 'target' is None.

So there's something hinky with your overwrites. It doesn't matter if everything looks right to your eyes. Something isn't right and it's in your KEYS, not in your VALUES.

[undone merlin]

I cannot believe how stupid the mistake was

Thank you @tidal pecan and @errant trout

[errant trout]

allgood

[tidal pecan]

My best suggestion for avoiding issues like this is to teach yourself how to Rubber Ducky. Also, I'm a big fan of "The Mentor's Manifesto" which states: I made a discovery today. I found a computer. Wait a second, this is cool. It does what I want it to. If it makes a mistake, it's because I screwed it up. Not because it doesn't like me... Or feels threatened by me... Or thinks I'm a smart ass... Or doesn't like teaching and shouldn't be here... Damn kid. All he does is play games. They're all alike.

How can I edit the message so that it's no longer MessageFlags.IS_COMPONENTS_V2? I just want to have a message at the end.

[sage tendon]

what if you only edit the view away

[torn barn]

Once you send cv2 you cannot remove them

[sage tendon]

I didn't work with CV2 yet but can't you just edit it to be a completely unstyled text area

[errant trout]

You can't use content, the best you can do is a View with a single TextDisplay

[warm monolith]

But I don't want to have a container in the message anymore, it should just be a small text message

[errant trout]

You don't need a container

All new components work without container

[wheat tiger]

How do we add permissions to slash command groups?

like if I add perms to individual command using @discord.default_permissions it won't work, users can still use the command

[fresh sierra]

in the group definition

[wheat tiger]

what's the param?

[fresh sierra]

group = discord.SlashCommandGroup(default_member_permissions=)

[fresh sierra]

.

[wheat tiger]

can we add individual command perms in groups?

[wheat tiger]

This doesn't work

[fresh sierra]

by using check yes

[fresh sierra]

its default_member_permissions not default_permissions

[wheat tiger]

works tysm

[fresh sierra]

your welcome

[echo wraith]

This could benefit a pr changing it's name

One or the other

[errant trout]

default_member_permissions is the API name, default_permissions is the decorator name (and decorators generally don't have to follow the API, they're for convenience)

[echo wraith]

the decorator should be renamed then imo

[errant trout]

v3

[wheat tiger]

Is it preferred to enable standard type checking in project?

[echo wraith]

I personnaly have strict type checking setup with basedpyright, although I have to ignore some stuff often because the project isn't fully typed

[wheat tiger]

ye I use strict in my own cli app

but here in pycord showing many issues on enabling

[wheat tiger]

Should I do for pycord?

[echo wraith]

You could and it would give you some benefits, you can still ignore project wide some issues (e.g. untyped decorator, missing generics, whatnot) and keep the rest. If you want here is my config for basedpyright project wide:

[tool.pyright]
venvPath = "."
venv = ".venv"
reportAny = false
reportUnusedCallResult = false
reportUnknownMemberType = false
reportMissingTypeStubs = false
pythonVersion = "3.12"

then I ignore a bunch of stuff inline as needed when the errors don't matter

but idk what type checker you use

[wheat tiger]

pyright

and ruff as linter and formatter

[wheat tiger]

https://github.com/swayam25/Square-Bot/blob/main/pyproject.toml

[echo wraith]

then you can try this (btw basedpyright is imo way better than just pyright)

[wheat tiger]

I am planning to use ty after a stable release

[echo wraith]

me too, but I would also want it to have some more features I feel like will take more than a stable release to arrive, so I'm probably gonna stay w/ basedpyright for some time

[wheat tiger]

u saw fb's pyrefly?

[echo wraith]

oh no interesting

gonna take a look

[wheat tiger]

again a rust tool 😎

now-a-days new rust tools more than C lol 😂

[echo wraith]

Seems nice although I reall like the many rules basedpyright has and I feel like it has quite less (as in that one only and only type checks whereas basedpyright hast stuff e.g. to differentiate Any and explicitAny, reportInvalidCast and a bunch others), errors seem less specific too

[echo wraith]

rust isn't great for everything, but one thing it is always great for is cli apps/tools imo

[wheat tiger]

rust is great for apps even, just bad for game dev

[echo wraith]

idk I haven't done lots of desktop dev

maybe

[wheat tiger]

like there is tauri, electron replacement

better performance

[echo wraith]

tauri has its own issues tho, I wouldn't have taken that as an example

[wheat tiger]

lol yes but we can consider

[wheat tiger]

we can take example of discord, backend is using rust after 2020

they ditched go

bcz of grabage collector

[echo wraith]

makes sense

[lapis dock]

Discord does not allow you to have different permissions for subcommands.

[wheat tiger]

tq for this help too ❤️

[fresh sierra]

With pycord I don’t think

Because too much issue like ctx.guild.id raising an error even tho you set the command as guild only etc

[fresh sierra]

Are you jsing vsc ?

[echo wraith]

no

pycharm

[echo wraith]

That's not a pycord problem, that's a limitation of type cheking

we ain't gonna make command generic + overloads type checkers are either gonna give up or developers that would be mantaining ts

just check if it exists that's it it's one line

[wheat tiger]

Any fix for this?

[echo wraith]

Why are you passing a slash context to a converter

youre doing it wrong

[wheat tiger]

then?

[lapis dock]

What is your goal? and can you show surrounding code

[fresh sierra]

Is there a reason why role.edit is type hint as returning Role|None ? Because ho would this never return None

[wheat tiger]

https://github.com/swayam25/Square-Bot/blob/main/cogs/mass_moderation.py

[fresh sierra]

Have to do everytime if ctx.guild is not None when we know for sure it will never be None is useless in my opinion

[wheat tiger]

wht is Unknown?

[echo wraith]

Then don't type check your code, but that's not a pycord issue

[echo wraith]

Means type checker can't well understand the type

[fresh sierra]

Vincent told me that the decorator could fix this

[echo wraith]

If you don't know how type checking works you should probably not use a type checker, pycord or not

[fresh sierra]

So maybe it could be fix inside pycord

Even tho yeah there is limitation and I’m not blaming pycord for that

[wheat tiger]

ik used it in my own libs, but others idk 💀

[echo wraith]

yeah but it would complexify the code, it's just not the priority

It could be possible with generics

and overloads

[wheat tiger]

ye this too

[fresh sierra]

Also is there a reason to use Optinal instead of | None ?

[wheat tiger]

depreciated

[fresh sierra]

And also this, so I know if I need to pr that

[fresh sierra]

Wdym

[wheat tiger]

I thought u meant Union lol

[echo wraith]

Optional and union are deprecated after 3.10

[wheat tiger]

but now-a-days I prefer doing | None and more usage of | instead of typing classes

old codebases use typing classes much

like for tuples

Tuple instead of default tuple

etc...

[echo wraith]

For all builtins

[fresh sierra]

So I should not use it

[wheat tiger]

not sure abt any

[echo wraith]

wdym

any is just not the same at all as Any

that's different

[fresh sierra]

?

[wheat tiger]

idk man, not much familiar with types in python

[echo wraith]

any is a function

that returns true if any of the values passed in are truthy

[wheat tiger]

I learnt py, then learnt js/ts, liked types, switch back to pythoon and used there

[echo wraith]

Any is a type

Whereas e.g. Tuple tuple, one is a type the other a builtin but both represent the same thing

[wheat tiger]

btw any fix for this?

[echo wraith]

It is because commands can also be ran in dms

add this

if isinstance(ctx.author, discord.User): return

at the top of your command

it will fix it

[fresh sierra]

https://github.com/microsoft/pyright/issues/9793

[wheat tiger]

there is also issue for this in my cog listeners also in purge, do I need to do this everywhere? 💀

[echo wraith]

wdym in purge

show the code please

[wheat tiger]

ok, tmr morning, gonna sleep 🥱

tysm guys for helping me out for today!!

❤️

[fresh sierra]

in what condition can interaction.user be None ?

[fresh sierra]

i think None, that might be an issue on pycord

** member is sent when the interaction is invoked in a guild, and user is sent when invoked in a DM

[wheat tiger]

Guys what orm du perfer in python?

Never rlly used any ORM in python so confuse, in node there're many like drizzle, kysely etc...

I want something like that

[fresh sierra]

paillat advise me to use tortoise orm

and it seems nicz

[wheat tiger]

ye

[errant trout]

ping

[wheat tiger]

but there's also ponyorm

See the benchmarks

[fresh sierra]

but this doesnt return an interaction no ?

[errant trout]

ping interactions from discord exist, which have no user attached

regardless, if discord's spec says it's nullable then we will also type it with None

[fresh sierra]

i thought about interaction.response.ping, that's on me

[fresh sierra]

that's the thing by checking on the doc i didnt find it nullable (or i didnt understand that)

** member is sent when the interaction is invoked in a guild, and user is sent when invoked in a DM

so for me it meant it will either be member or user

[wheat tiger]

@errant trout Any thoughts about Tortoise ORM?

[errant trout]

never used it

[fresh sierra]

dont know that

but idk if the benchlark is really important

[wheat tiger]

Hmm these all things are not much popular and not well supported in python lol

[fresh sierra]

for our usage

[wheat tiger]

Ru interested in open-source contrib?

[fresh sierra]

i used to just do raw sql query, i never used any orm in prod

[fresh sierra]

if i can help why not but i doubt that i'll be able

[fresh sierra]

also, inside a interaction check, can i have a ping interaction ? or its only in a particular context

[wheat tiger]

See this is my project

https://github.com/swayam25/Square-Bot
Also my first proj, likr 4yo code in some places, I update it but just like stack on old code, didn't update much core stuffs, like the music player and the db

[errant trout]

uh generally you don't need to worry about it, the library handles them at the base level

[wheat tiger]

that time I was unknown abt these dbs, so just used json files

and ik how bad it is

now trying to shift that to proper db

if ur able to, can u help?

[errant trout]

i mean migrating from json to db isn't too hard?

[wheat tiger]

Less exp in db

I am comfortable in using drizzle orms

basically node

then I am planning to fix type errors, I am scared to enable standars/strict type checking in pyright it throws huge no of errors

so planning to first migrate then solve these

[fresh sierra]

i sadly already have a bot i need to maintain and i dont have time

so i dont think i willhave time

but if you have question about specifc thing tell me

[echo wraith]

Take a look at tortoise, it's easy, async ready and typed correctly

[echo wraith]

Same here

Plus exams

[fresh sierra]

exams are in the head

i got my first pr merge, i think i will make the 30 of may a dya off

(just realize 30 of may is the birthday of my ex)

[echo wraith]

Bruh

[fresh sierra]

do you know by any chance if there is a way to correct typehint with tortoise when it can be nullable ?

[echo wraith]

Wait you aren't typing them

[echo wraith]

Reverse relation should be : not =

Just add | none

[fresh sierra]

though it was handle, gonna typehint them rn

sad tho that some functions are notreally type proof

[echo wraith]

Here you should use cast then

[fresh sierra]

it will always be fields.Field[...] for the typehint ?

[fresh sierra]

im gonna take a look at that

[fresh sierra]

or should i do like int | None

[echo wraith]

Yes except for enums I think

[echo wraith]

Reverse..[...] | None I think

Try putting the none inside

But I don't think that would work, it doesn't put it outside

[fresh sierra]

ok thanks

what do you think about this ?

[echo wraith]

List should not be left like that

Never

Nowhere

[wheat tiger]

@echo wraith What's ur age? How du manage ur coding + study?

[fresh sierra]

i'll put list[int]

[echo wraith]

18, I don't manage it and that's a problem.

More seriously, I have in general some ease in my studies which allows me to take some time to do other things. And I try to still block as many distractions as I can when I'm studying

[echo wraith]

That would work

[fresh sierra]

the usage of fields.Field isnot thebest in my side because then i cannot do int + 1, i'll justuse normal typehint : int instead of field.Fields[int]

[wheat tiger]

Problem here is coding is disctraction in my study 😔. Getting poor grades bcz of that only

[echo wraith]

Wdym

Yes you should be able to

[wheat tiger]

Any time I see new tech stuffs, or something to code, then code all day and at the end I fk

[echo wraith]

Try not to code as much, well remove your distractions etc. Rn I have exams, what I did is I literally unplugged my PC at home, and put a 0min screentime limit on ytb Instagram and a bunch of other things

[echo wraith]

I never had that wtf

Problem with pyroght

[fresh sierra]

using pylance

[echo wraith]

It uses pyright

[wheat tiger]

Insane

[echo wraith]

Oh yeah

I'm cheating a little

All of my study notes are backed up to GH every 10 min or so

[wheat tiger]

and that becomes more for me leading to get fked before exam night

[echo wraith]

So in reality more like 2/3 of these are actual contributions

[wheat tiger]

I have module test on 2nd June and I am still coding 💀

[echo wraith]

Then don't

[fresh sierra]

i used basedpyright and same issue

[echo wraith]

Im checking rn

[fresh sierra]

also detect cycle that doesnt exist since im using type checking

[echo wraith]

that's a known issue, https://github.com/DetachHead/basedpyright/issues/960

@fresh sierra ¯_(ツ)_/¯

[fresh sierra]

bizrre

[echo wraith]

show me where you import Field from

[fresh sierra]

Ok si it seems that it works when using an instance and not the class

[echo wraith]

yeah of course

when using the class it should not work you shouldn't use it that way

[fresh sierra]

It was just to check ofc I’m not using it

how should ths be type this i dont know the arg / kwargs ?

[echo wraith]

where is this

what class

[fresh sierra]

This is inside a database model

[echo wraith]

Check the types in super().delete and use these

also seems like it doesn't want *args at all

[fresh sierra]

so i should maybe just do async def delete(self, using_db: BaseDBAsyncClient | None = None) -> None:

well that's pretty logical after all

[echo wraith]

yes

Does anyone know if it's currently possible to do

@discord.option(input_type=discord.TextChannel | discord.VoiceChannel)

As in using | instead of Union ?

[fresh sierra]

Using channel_types

[echo wraith]

ok thanks much

[echo wraith]

wait wdym

[fresh sierra]

like here but instead of thread you put text and voice channel

[echo wraith]

ok

[grizzled loom]

Any

from typing Import Any

Sorry for not formatting, on mobile atm

tuple[Any, …]
In your case

[silk spire]

You only type the value, so just Any is correct there

[fresh sierra]

what is more correct, use the same thing as the original function or args and kwwargs typeed as any ?

[echo wraith]

Same thing as original is better but Any if ur lazy

[silk spire]

Original if feasible else Unpack[TypedDict] if you want else ^

[fresh sierra]

ok

strict typing everything is gonna be hard but im gonna try

[echo wraith]

gl

[echo wraith]

ignore it

[fresh sierra]

especially with all those particular case

[echo wraith]

that one you can ignore
