Code:

@bot.event
async def on_guild_join(guild):
    server = await bot.fetch_guild(guild.id)
    print(server.channels)
    hi = await server.channels[0].create_invite()
    channel = bot.get_channel(988031087424983090)
    stuff = guild.owner
    jem = discord.Embed(color=0x2f3136)
    jem.set_author(f"{bot.user} has joined a new server:",icon_url=bot.avatar.url)
    jem.set_description(f"Server owner ID: {guild.owner_id}\
                        Server owner tag: {stuff.tag}\

                        Server invite: {hi}")
    await channel.send(embed=jem)

Hey, so as per before, I know you mentioned you print (server.channels), but are you getting a proper list? Obviously don't need or want you to post the output, but the verification would help.

Asking because the fact you're getting list index out of range when trying to access the first item in the list, the first thing that comes to mind is that it's an empty list.

Why fetch the guild when you have the guild object that you already use

umbral kestrel Why fetch the guild when you have the guild object that you already use

That's why they pay you the big bucks. lol

umbral kestrel Jul 1, 2022, 7:16 PM

#

what

bold zenith Jul 1, 2022, 7:17 PM

#

It was a compliment? You've never heard that expression before? Basically means "that's why you're higher up"
nevermind forget it. lol

umbral kestrel Jul 1, 2022, 7:18 PM

#

Oh well i haven't really heard that expression before, but thanks i guess :)

umbral kestrel Why fetch the guild when you have the guild object that you already use

it wasn’t working in the first place, so I thought fetching the server would help. either way, it doesn’t work aha

bold zenith Hey, so as per before, I know you mentioned you print (server.channels), but are...

yep, I get sent an empty list: []

#

meaning it was gonna send a list, but it’s empty.. although my server does actually have channels, so slightly confused? Thonk

#

just tried creating more channels, same error

#

somehow it’s having issues fetching the channel, so not sure what’s going on there?

bold zenith Jul 1, 2022, 7:32 PM

#

just throwing this out there, but what if you changed it to text_channels?

#

would only give channels that are not voice, announcement, or rules, but should work?

#

see if you still get an empty list.

#

Unless you're only getting an empty list for a single server?

radiant parcel Jul 1, 2022, 7:37 PM

#

bold zenith just throwing this out there, but what if you changed it to text_channels?

so would it be

await server.text_channels[0].create_invite()```

radiant parcel Jul 1, 2022, 7:38 PM

#

bold zenith Unless you're only getting an empty list for a single server?

nope, tried multiple servers

bold zenith Jul 1, 2022, 7:38 PM

#

try this

#

@bot.event
async def on_guild_join(guild):
  chan_list = []
  for channel in guild.text_channels:
    chan_list.append(channel)
  print(f'Testing Channel output: {chan_list}')
  await chan_list[0].create_invite()
  channel = bot.get_channel(988031087424983090)
  stuff = guild.owner
  jem = discord.Embed(color=0x2f3136)
  jem.set_author(f"{bot.user} has joined a new server:",icon_url=bot.avatar.url)
  jem.set_description(f"Server owner ID: {guild.owner_id}\
                      Server owner tag: {stuff.tag}\
                      Server name: {guild.name}\
                      Server ID: {guild.id}\
                      Server member count: {guild.member_count}\
                      Server invite: {hi}")
  await channel.send(embed=jem)

#

if it works, just kill the console print.

#

Basically you're creating a new list, populating it with your channels, then pulling the first one.

#

sorry only just saw this

radiant parcel Jul 1, 2022, 8:13 PM

#

bold zenith ``` @bot.event async def on_guild_join(guild): chan_list = [] for channel in...

what would I change the {hi} variable to for the actual server invite?

Odd that THAT line it flagged

#

Comment out the print statement

#

Did you copy as I did?

#

Share please

radiant parcel Jul 1, 2022, 8:38 PM

#

bold zenith Did you copy as I did?

yep

#

just fixed some indents

bold zenith Jul 1, 2022, 8:39 PM

#

The indents were fine

radiant parcel Jul 1, 2022, 8:39 PM

#

they were flagged as red for me

bold zenith Jul 1, 2022, 8:39 PM

#

Can you share your final draft?

radiant parcel Jul 1, 2022, 8:39 PM

#

and caused some errors

radiant parcel Jul 1, 2022, 8:39 PM

#

bold zenith Can you share your final draft?

the code I have right now?

bold zenith Jul 1, 2022, 8:39 PM

#

Yes sir

radiant parcel Jul 1, 2022, 8:40 PM

@bot.event
async def on_guild_join(guild):
    chan_list = []
    for channel in guild.text_channels:
        chan_list.append(channel)
        print(f'Testing Channel output: {chan_list}')

                      Server invite: {hi}")
    await channel.send(embed=jem)

bold zenith Jul 1, 2022, 8:41 PM

#

not correct

#

within the "for" statement, you're ONLY appending.

#

thats why I had the indent stop

#

You're not doing all that and creating embeds for every channel.

#

which is what your code is trying to do

#

print( should be at the same level as "for"

#

as well as everything below it.

#

make more sense?

#

You're not printing until the for loop has closed

radiant parcel Jul 1, 2022, 8:44 PM

#

ahhh I see

bold zenith Jul 1, 2022, 8:46 PM

#

For each channel, add the channel to the list, then when done and list completed, move along, is how its meant to run.

radiant parcel Jul 1, 2022, 8:47 PM

#

like that?

#

no nvm

radiant parcel Jul 1, 2022, 8:54 PM

#

bold zenith ``` @bot.event async def on_guild_join(guild): chan_list = [] for channel in...

alright so used this

#

exactly

#

didn’t edit a thing

#

and got the same error

#

bold zenith Jul 1, 2022, 9:02 PM

#

Comment out the print line

#

That’s where it’s failing. No idea why but it’s clear as day

#

Think I found the issue @radiant parcel

#

What pycord version are you running?

#

News attribute was committed about a month ago, I found. So if you are running anything less than RC1 you will get this problem

#

Someone closer to developers might have to troubleshoot this, if you are on RC1 already

radiant parcel Jul 1, 2022, 9:31 PM

#

bold zenith Someone closer to developers might have to troubleshoot this, if you are on RC1 ...

yep, I am

#

2.0.0rc1

radiant parcel Jul 1, 2022, 9:36 PM

#

bold zenith That’s where it’s failing. No idea why but it’s clear as day

think for some reason, that was what was causing issues

#

commented it out

bold zenith Jul 1, 2022, 9:36 PM

#

Yeah, very odd

radiant parcel Jul 1, 2022, 9:36 PM

#

fixed the error

bold zenith Jul 1, 2022, 9:36 PM

#

Nice!

radiant parcel Jul 1, 2022, 9:36 PM

#

now I have this one

#

unsure how I get the bot avatar url?

bold zenith Jul 1, 2022, 9:38 PM

#

That, I have no idea tbh. Never needed that. Want the guys email too? Lol. Kidding of course.

radiant parcel Jul 1, 2022, 9:38 PM

#

😂

bold zenith Jul 1, 2022, 9:39 PM

#

Maybe guild instead of bot?

radiant parcel Jul 1, 2022, 9:39 PM

#

thank you for fixing the other error though, hope I never have it again, will be sure to come back to you if I have an error… again, thank you a lot AHYES

radiant parcel Jul 1, 2022, 9:39 PM

#

bold zenith Maybe guild instead of bot?

i want my bots user avatar in the footer icon aha

bold zenith Jul 1, 2022, 9:45 PM

#

Oh. Lol

#

Yeah, I’ve stumped me on that one

radiant parcel Jul 1, 2022, 9:48 PM

#

haha, no worries, i appreciate all the help though :D

bold zenith Jul 1, 2022, 9:58 PM

#

I mean, you could just use the URL?

radiant parcel Jul 1, 2022, 10:00 PM

#

hold on

#

my bot doesn’t even have a pfp

#

that would make sense why I’m getting these errors

#

💀
