Pycord's example slash command in cog didn't work

[paper spire]

Hello, i'm actually coding my bot but I wan't do slash command in cog. I used the slash in cog example in the github but it didn't work.

(ping me pls)

[indigo lance]

if i am not mistaked, you'll need to specify a name for the slash command as well, how else would you call it in discord

@commands.slash_command(
        name='ping',
        description='Pinging.')

or such

[paper spire]

oke thank I try

it doesn't work :/

[indigo lance]

any specific error that you get?

[paper spire]

nothing

[indigo lance]

try changing command.Bot(...) to discord.Bot()

[paper spire]

oke but how do I put the prefix ?

[indigo lance]

you don't need it if you use slash command

[viral pumice]

Both is fine

[indigo lance]

thus slash command

[viral pumice]

You load the cogs at the on_ready event, that is why it is not working

[indigo lance]

ah yeah yes

you need to load it seperatly or in a main

[viral pumice]

Just move it outside the event

if you are funny you could use something like this:

import os

def load_cogs():
    for foldername, subfolders, filenames in os.walk('commands'):
        for filename in filenames:
            if filename.endswith('.py') and filename not in ['list of', 'files you', 'wanna ignore.py']:
                print_timestamp(filename, 'Trying to load in ')
                extension = os.path.join(foldername, filename).replace('.py', '').replace('/', '.')
                try:
                    bot.load_extension(extension)
                    print(f'Successfully loaded extension: {extension}')
                except Exception as e:
                    print(f'Failed to load extension {extension}: {e}')

load_cogs()

You dont need that if you do requirsive=True

[final vortex]

You don't

[indigo lance]

thought that that prob. exists but wanted to implement it myself for the funnsies

and also do i have more control over it and easy access for my own error logging script

[manic haven]

By default it uses the function name
