how to fix this?

what is "deal"

and ...

.get_x

[arctic slate]

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.

it's for fetching tickets

if you mean that

chatgpt told me that channel variable doesnt have value but it does

[long nest]

it obviously doesnt

and the error literally tells you that

[astral summit]

yeah but it should

[long nest]

But it doesnt

i didnt put whole code there

wait

[long nest]

great, but the issue doesnt change

[astral summit]

it works with the 2nd button tho

so it cant find the channel id?

it gets stuck on the 2nd message

[long nest]

whatever channel ID you put there, that channel isnt in your bot's cache

[astral summit]

and the id is clearly there

[astral summit]

that's weird

do yk how to fix it?

[long nest]

reading helps

[astral summit]

i'm stuck on this for 30 mins

channel = bot.fetch_channel(completed)

so jst change it to that?

i didnt cache stuff yet so thats why im askin

[long nest]

thats not something you do manually

[astral summit]

yeah but i never used caching

or idk lmao

[long nest]

that is not something you do manually.

its a default built in library feature

[astral summit]

oh

so what should i change in the code

if u could help

[steel current]

so simple, you first do a get_x if its None you gonna do a fetch_x

[astral summit]

did it with fetch now

got the same error

[steel current]

which error?

[steel current]

I really like it that my Internet is so bad that I cannot load images... its so annoying

[long nest]

show your code

[steel current]

you still use fetch and get

you have to use both in one and you overwrite channel again at the end

[astral summit]

wait

so

[steel current]

also if you use time.sleep

you gonna block your whole bot

[astral summit]

should i use fetch everywhere instead of get?

[astral summit]

its just for 5 seconds

[steel current]

doesnt matter how many seconds

[long nest]

no

[astral summit]

wait im confused af now

i used get all the time

[astral summit]

what should i use then?

[steel current]

That is not gonna be to rude or anything but do you know basic Python?

[astral summit]

yeah basics

[long nest]

you still use get...

[astral summit]

this is my frist bigger project

[astral summit]

no but i'm getting error in different line

[steel current]

and you never used asyncio?

[astral summit]

the 2nd one from bottom is alr

[astral summit]

well i did

[long nest]

are you sure your bot can actually see that channel?
and that the channel ID is correct?

[astral summit]

definetly

[long nest]

because if fetch fails, at least one of those is wrong

[astral summit]

that's where it bugs out

[astral summit]

it doesnt

or wait

lemme jst test it with print

[long nest]

also i may be blind but where do you even set completed

[astral summit]

in line 7 or so

8

[long nest]

i cant see it in your code

[astral summit]

yeah it has like 600 lines

[steel current]

that is a str

[long nest]

wtf, use cogs

[steel current]

not at int

[astral summit]

fck

im dumb

💀

[long nest]

then you can also change back to get

[astral summit]

used wrong thingys

[steel current]

you did ""

[astral summit]

yeah saw that now

thanks guys

i didnt think of that at all

[astral summit]

what are cogs 😭

[long nest]

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

[astral summit]

oh

smt like libraries right

diff file but same class

[long nest]

No, its just classes

nothing to do with library

[astral summit]

yeah i meant library like a different file

[long nest]

then call it different file :>

[astral summit]

okok

[empty yoke]

Channel = bot.get_channel() or await bot.fetch_channel()

[astral summit]

fixed

thanks

[empty yoke]

You need to await the fetcj

Ok mb

[astral summit]

no need to fetch

i jst accidentally made channel id a string

[empty yoke]

fetch can be still useful

In case the bot doesn’t find the cache

[astral summit]

huhh

it didnt get fixed

wth

@long nest

gettin this now

[steel current]

still same error

so what do you have to do?

[astral summit]

fetch?

[steel current]

.

[astral summit]

ok

[long nest]

make sure the ID is right and that the bot can see the channel first of all

[steel current]

channel: discord.TextChannel = bot.get_channel(ID) or await bot.fetch_channel(ID)

[astral summit]

and then try it again i assume

[astral summit]

yeh its right

ok fixed it now

but

sleep was never awaited

[long nest]

then await it

[astral summit]

oop

yeah

forgot to do that

mb

@long nest

idk if im dumb

but the bot doesnt send the deal completed msg

no error nothing

and it closes the ticket right away

 embed4= discord.Embed(title="✅ Middleman deal has been completed",
                      description=f"This ticket will be automatically closed in 30 seconds",

                await channel.send(embed = embed4)
                await asyncio.sleep(1)

                discord.TextChannel = bot.get_channel(completed)

                embed5.set_author(name="Lynx auto",

                await channel.send(embed = embed5)
                await asyncio.sleep(30)

                channel = bot.get_channel(deal['channel'].id)
                await channel.delete()

[long nest]

what in the fuck are you doing

channel = ...

[astral summit]

?

[astral summit]

it fixed that before

now it wont work again

[long nest]

there is a very, very big difference between what you did and between zervy's snippet

just do channel =

[astral summit]

okay lemme try now

[astral summit]

error came back

cant just do channel =

[long nest]

then fix your code

[long nest]

this makes zero sense and if you knew basic python you should realise that

[astral summit]

well i jst tried whatever he sent me

and it worked

im trying to fetch it now

ok yeah fetching worked

but

it sends the msg into ticket but not to the channel i want it to

[steel current]

Sry about that, Im so used to do all the : discord.Attachment and other stuff so I get more autocomplete at the IDE

[long nest]

no, you didnt do anything wrong

[astral summit]

so what should i do

to make it send the msg into the copleted channel

[long nest]

read the code and check where the issue iis

youre not setting the channel correctly then

we cant do everything for you

[astral summit]

yeah i'm lookin into it

but if i fetch the channel

it will send it there wont it?

or it wont change the chanel variable

[long nest]

all im saying is is that if it sends into the wrong channel, you set the channel variable to the wrong channel

[astral summit]

okay no

im dumb

i didnt even add the variable there

await bot.fetch_channel(completed)
channel = completed

would this switch it?

[long nest]

please read that and think real hard

that is most basic python

[astral summit]

i'm half asleep rn

my brain doesnt think as it should sorry lmao

...

yeh ik what to do now i think

got it
