discord.Attachment not working on Slash Command

[rapid nymph]

async def upload_image(ctx: discord.ApplicationContext,
                       airframe: discord.Option(type=str, name="airframe", required=True),
                       livery: discord.Option(type=str, name="livery", required=True),
                       image: discord.Option(type=discord.Attachment, name="plane_image", required=True)
                       ):

Discord seems to just be treating the plane_image parameter as just text (str)?

[warped vortex]

?

[rapid nymph]

discord doesnt let me upload an image to the plane_image param

even though ive typed it as a discord.Attachment

whats goin on?

[dark pollen]

Its input_type

Not type

[rapid nymph]

aight fair enough

thanks

[rapid nymph]

image: discord.Option(input_type=discord.Attachment, name="image", required=True)

this still doesnt work though

[dark pollen]

Show the command def

[dark pollen]

I mean at this point just do
async def upload_image(ctx: discord.ApplicationContext, airframe: str, livery: str, image: discord.Attachement):

You don’t need discord.Option in this case

And I think there is an issue in pycord about it so with discord.Option you can’t do attachement (I guess I saw that on pycord GitHub)

[rapid nymph]

ah okay

[rapid nymph]

Yup it works now, gr8, tysm

[frigid pine]

The problem is that input_type is positional only.

- discord.Option(input_type=str, ...)
+ discord.Option(str, ...)

You cannot specify the argument name

[rapid nymph]

Ah okay, I ended up solving the problem using Luma's solution, seems like attachments are a bit bugged atm using discord.Option

[stark crescent]

not really, no

[dark pollen]

well after check it was an issue in 2023 so thats mb if its not still the case

[stark crescent]

i thought you could also address positional args by their name?

[frigid pine]

input_type is set as positional only. Normally you can but whoever made Options made a design choice to make it that way. Similar to keyword only just less common (I think it uses a slash (input_type, /, more_args)
