[undone falcon]

I had a typo in the message sorry, I never use debug_guilds

[cyan quail]

upgrade to 2.2.2

[undone falcon]

did not change anything, just tried it

[cyan quail]

(honestly not sure why you're on 2.2.1, 2.2.2 released 40 minutes after)

what if you change the position of the Option? like move it earlier

[undone falcon]

the commands wont even register back

it disappeared when I commented it

And when I decommented it, it does not come back

[cyan quail]

is this in all guilds?

[undone falcon]

no with guild_ids

with my test guild inside

[cyan quail]

could you try adding another guild?

[undone falcon]

I can yes, but that bot is in only that guild

it is a test bot

[undone falcon]

I reinvited the bot, andn ow there is no commands at all register

[cyan quail]

hmmm odd

can you show your main file?

[undone falcon]

I am gonna show the start only

because a bit big

bot.add_cog(TimezoneCog(bot, data))
bot.add_cog(ShowCog(bot, data))

bot.add_cog(AddCog(bot))

and of course in the end bot.run(TOKEN)

[cyan quail]

have you overridden any events?

[undone falcon]

yes multiple

[cyan quail]

can you show them

or if it's too long, just name the ones you've overridden

[undone falcon]

@bot.event
async def on_guild_join(guild: discord.Guild):
    loggerStart.log(logging.INFO, "Bot just joined {}. The bot is now in {} guilds. Guilds: {}".format(guild.name, len(bot.guilds), bot.guilds))

@bot.event
async def on_guild_remove(guild: discord.Guild):
    loggerStart.log(logging.INFO, "Bot just left {}. The bot is now in {} guilds. Guilds: {}".format(guild.name, len(bot.guilds), bot.guilds))
    server = data.getServer(guild.id)
    data.servers.remove(server)
    data.saveData()

@bot.event  
async def on_guild_role_delete(role: discord.Role):
    # No need to remove role from members, because the on_member_update event will be trigger for each member who lost the role
    data.delete_time_role(role.id, role.guild.id, remove_role_in_members=False)
    
@bot.event     
async def on_member_remove(member: discord.Member):
    data.remove_member(member.id, member.guild.id)

bot_start_time = None
@bot.event
async def on_connect():
    global bot_start_time
    bot_start_time = datetime.now(LOCAL_TIME_ZONE)

[cyan quail]

aaand there it is

[undone falcon]

there is also on_application_command_error, on_member_update, on_ready

[cyan quail]

if you override on_connect, you must include await bot.sync_commands()

[undone falcon]

thanks you !!! it worked !

[cyan quail]

allgood

[harsh dust]

is there a way to prevent random "The application did not respond" errors?

I use await ctx.defer() in every command

and sometimes it runs fine but then it throws an error when trying to do await ctx.respond()

[cyan quail]

if it's random then it's likely a network issue

or you have potentially blocking code that runs before the callback

[drifting sleet]

Is it possible to convert discord emoji into raw/unicode emoji? like :thumbsup: > 👍

[frozen salmon]

Yes, await ctx.send('\:thumbsup:')

[drifting sleet]

rn looking at https://docs.pycord.dev/en/master/api.html#partialemoji, is it good approach?

[drifting sleet]

not exactly what I mean I think

[frozen salmon]

Could you explain more?

[drifting sleet]

I need an actual 👍, not 👍 or \👍

[frozen salmon]

OH

[frozen salmon]

Im not sure how you are sending that, so i cant help you. Maybe an actual helper can

[drifting sleet]

well I'm asking because my bot generates flags, based on country code by adding it to :flag_xx:, but now I need that emoji to be added into discord.ui.Select option label, which doesn't resolve :emojis:

unicode emojis work there, but not sure if there's an easy conversion

[cyan quail]

partialemoji should work

[drifting sleet]

InvalidArgument: PartialEmoji is not a custom emoji

[pallid token]

Just wondering if there's a way to create a group of commands and sub-commands in which someone could execute the main command or a sub-command. E.g.:
</queue:1234>
</queue clear:1234>
</queue remove:1234>

I see a way in which you could have the sub-command groups, but not the actual main command.

[full basin]

You can't. Discord limitation

[pallid token]

Thought so... Thanks though 🙂
Pretty dumb tbh.
Any word on if they will implement it? As I recall there was some form of controversy around it when slash commands first launched.

[silver moat]

pretty sure they aren’t planning to

[pallid token]

One more question, if you don't mind... Is SlashCommandGroup#command() compatible with the same usage as commands.slash_command()? Like can you specify a name and description in the same manner?
E.g.:

@<SlashCommandGroupObj>.command(name="list", description="Get a list of songs in the queue.")

[cyan quail]

yeah

[pallid token]

Thanks 😄

[spice oyster]

I hate that limitation.

[silver moat]

there's also a skill limitation

[spice oyster]

I can deal with that.

[indigo badger]

Is there a way to add a column with aiosqlite without Useing the app and locking the db?

As I am trying to add one as part of a update to my warning system and I run the bot and nothing happens.

I would use the app but last time I used that it locked the db.

If anyone knows and could tell me that would be great:

Or even if there is not a way let me know.

[rugged lantern]

wym locking the database? why would it get locked over adding a new column

if that's the case then you should get your skills checked

[rugged lantern]

wym used the app

[indigo badger]

The SQLite app.

[rugged lantern]

then you probably didn't click the obvious 'write changes' button on top

i assume u mean in db browser

[indigo badger]

Yes.

[rugged lantern]

yeah so the issue is a skill issue- u need to actually commit whatever you're writing. i see no other reason why it'd lock up

[indigo badger]

The thing is when I go to click the thing that says write changes it’s greyed out.

[lost valley]

Bot wont send a variable as a message. For example x = "hey there", the bot just says x instead of the value,

await channel.send(kd)

[copper dew]

would this work?

async def cmd(self, ctx):
    x = "hey there"
    await ctx.send(x)

[rare ice]

Send your full code.

[lost valley]

yeah im just dumb figured it out 💀 nvm ty

[rare ice]

ok

[indigo badger]

For some reason, my code keeps erroring the line where it says
async def unwarn(ctx: commands.Context, *, ID)
And that worked in the past with getting context with a slash command.

But now it is erroring.

I would send the error, but my Discord on my computer is not working

Validation Error.

If anyone knows a solution to this that would be great.

And that worked in the past, so that’s why I’m confused.

If anyone knows ping me.

[silver moat]

send full traceback

[indigo badger]

What do you mean by self full trace back?

[silver moat]

[indigo badger]

Ok hold on computer is being a bit slow.

[indigo badger]

There you go.

Oh shoot forgot to turn off the ping sorry.

[silver moat]

what's your decorator(s)

[indigo badger]

@Client.slash_command()
@commands.has_permissions(manage_guild=True)
async def unwarn(ctx: commands.Context, *, Id ):
  async with Client.db.cursor() as cursor:
    await cursor.execute("SELECT reason FROM warns WHERE WarnID = ? AND guild_id = ?", (Id, ctx.guild.id,))
    stuff = await cursor.fetchone()
    if stuff:
      await cursor.execute("DELETE FROM warns WHERE WarnID = ? AND guild_id = ?", (Id, ctx.guild.id,))
      await ctx.send("This user has been unwarned")
    else:
      await ctx.send("This user has no warnings")
  await Client.db.commit()

There is the code if that helps.

[silver moat]

you are taking multi-word options in slash commands, which doesn't exist. remove the *,

[indigo badger]

So would Id just work the same?

[silver moat]

yes

also you may want to typehint correctly. ctx is a discord.ApplicationContext

[indigo badger]

Oh so the *, is probably what was setting it off, right?

[silver moat]

yes

full traceback?

[indigo badger]

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "C:\Users\\OneDrive\Documents\Bata-Bot\Bot.py", line 469, in <module>
    async def unwarn(ctx: commands.Context, Id ):

    raise ValidationError(
discord.errors.ValidationError

Now it is.

@Client.slash_command()
@commands.has_permissions(manage_guild=True)
async def unwarn(ctx: commands.Context, Id ):
  async with Client.db.cursor() as cursor:
    await cursor.execute("SELECT reason FROM warns WHERE WarnID = ? AND guild_id = ?", (Id, ctx.guild.id,))
    stuff = await cursor.fetchone()
    if stuff:
      await cursor.execute("DELETE FROM warns WHERE WarnID = ? AND guild_id = ?", (Id, ctx.guild.id,))
      await ctx.send("This user has been unwarned")
    else:
      await ctx.send("This user has no warnings")
  await Client.db.commit()

And that is the code after changes.

It should work shouldn’t it?

Let me know if you find anything that could be wrong as I do not see anything.

[indigo badger]

Full traceback is here now.

You still there?

[shell jetty]

Im trying to get a bot to fetch the contents of a reference message. Can i not use slash commands for this?

[lost valley]

How can I get the channel id of the channel in which a slash command is used in

[naive steppe]

ctx.channel i believe

[lost valley]

worked ty

[naive steppe]

you could try:

ctx: discord.ApplicationContext, id: Option(discord.User, "User to unwarn")

im just assuming you are using the wrong ctx since its a slash (ive never used anything outside of ApplicationContext so maybe others work)

id one is unessassery but more user friendly

[white wadi]

is it possible to somehow put inside the view an argument or varible that is defined in a function that calls the view

    def __init__(self, ctx, test):
        super().__init__(timeout=60)
        self.ctx = ctx
        self.test = test
        print(self.test)


    @discord.ui.button(style=discord.ButtonStyle.blurple, label=f"{test}", disabled=False)
    async def _1_button_callback(self, button, interaction):
        await interaction.response.edit_message(content=" ", delete_after=0.1)
        print(self.test)`

i can acces the "test" variable inside a function with self.test, but i cant do that for the label

[spice oyster]

Did you type "but I can" instead of "but I can't"? Anyways, I don't know how to do that, if even possible.

[white wadi]

yeah, missclick...

[spice oyster]

I have a similar problem when creating commands, as I need the result of a coroutine inside the decorator.
#1029292189399928863

One of my options is initializing the value, but then I cannot see it like it happens in your case.

[spice oyster]

Actually, there is a solid a workaround for it that I've used in my code, but it goes outside of the View.

view = self.MyView(self.bot)
view.children[0].label = test

Instead of passing it as parameter, you change the value for that field after creating the View.

[white wadi]

oh ok, that could work, thanks

[fringe socket]

Hey @spice oyster want to help me in #1028563234552283156 ?

[spice oyster]

I can try but I've never used bridges.

[fringe socket]

OK

[slim nebula]

I can't run two task loops at once, only the first one I say .start() to runs

[signal stratus]

Does anyone know how to disable this error?

Because this error is spamming my console

[cyan quail]

maybe update aiohttp?

[cobalt tangle]

How do I accept all channel types in discord.Option except voice

[cobalt tangle]

for slowmode command

[young bone]

discord.TextChannel

[cyan quail]

i'd say use discord.TextChannel as the main type, then use the channel_types arg to fill in the rest with discord.ChannelType, e.g. py from discord import ChannelType ... channel: Option(discord.TextChannel, "Select a channel", channel_types=[ChannelType.text, ChannelType.category, ChannelType.forum, ...])https://docs.pycord.dev/en/master/api.html#discord.ChannelType

[cobalt tangle]

ok ty

also how do i create a subgroup of a subgroup

[cyan quail]

uhh you can only have one subgroup

the max is group subgroup command

[cobalt tangle]

but some bots have three

[cobalt tangle]

i want that

[cyan quail]

then do group.create_subgroup

[cobalt tangle]

group is main slashcmd group

[cobalt tangle]

didnt work

[cyan quail]

https://docs.pycord.dev/en/master/api.html#discord.SlashCommandGroup.create_subgroup

wdym

[cobalt tangle]

it said a subgroup cant have a subgroup

[cyan quail]

can you show the code?

[cobalt tangle]

well i did it 1 week ago

[cyan quail]

make sure you're on 2.2.2

[cobalt tangle]

i did:

group = discord.SlashCommandGroup("group", "group desc")
sub = group.create_subgroup("sub", "sub group")
j = sub.create_subgroup("j", "j desc")

[cobalt tangle]

^

yes i am

[cyan quail]

...as i said, the max is group subgroup command

a subgroup can't have another subgroup

[cobalt tangle]

oh

well

how do i get the space between subgroup and command

[cyan quail]

? it does that for you...

you just make a command under the subgroup like @sub.command(...)

[cobalt tangle]

ok i think im dumb, im sorry

[merry briar]

how to make the slash command not displayed to ordinary users?

[young bone]

you mean only for the users with the permission?

[errant crane]

Here's the slash perms example.

[merry briar]

Yes. So that the rest of the team would not be visible

[merry briar]

these commands will not be seen by those who do not have access?

[cyan quail]

they won't be visible at all for the most part

[spice oyster]

Since when? Why for the most part?

[cyan quail]

if they have a particularly outdated version then maybe they could see the command, but otherwise users without the permissions can't see the command

[cyan quail]

like several months ago

[spice oyster]

Do you mean Discord version?

[errant crane]

Here's the basic voice example.

[spice oyster]

Can I make a Slash Command not visible/usable to users that aren't in a list? I can't use Roles.

[cyan quail]

can be done from guild settings > integrations

[spice oyster]

Is it impossible to do via the bot itself?

[cyan quail]

yes

created_at returns a UTC-aware timestamp. Reading datetime.today https://docs.python.org/3/library/datetime.html#datetime.datetime.today

This method is functionally equivalent to now(), but without a tz parameter.
being datetime.now(tz=None), but this is also not UTC-aware. Comparing aware and unaware timestamps results in an error, and as such you should instead use datetime.now(timezone.utc).
Luckily, this is built into the library as discord.utils.utcnow()

[cyan quail]

you didn't finish your try/except statement

yeah

[merry briar]

and how to disable it in certain channels?

[cyan quail]

can only be done in guild settings > integrations

[lost valley]

@bot.command(description="Look's up a player's KD.")
@commands.cooldown(1, 10, commands.BucketType.user)
async def kd(ctx, name: discord.Option(discord.SlashCommandOptionType.string)):
    try:
        print("USERNAME: ", name)
        await ctx.response.defer(ephemeral=False)
        find(name)
        
        from webscrapeTest import kd
        #channel = ctx.channel
    
        await ctx.followup.send(f"{name}'s KD is: {kd}")
        #channel = bot.get_channel(978423778944114690)
        #await channel.send(f"{kd} K/D")

    except (ImportError, NoSuchElementException):
        print("error")
        

Whenever there is an error it'll "think" forever. Is there a way to delete the message on error?

[cyan quail]

well you still need to respond with a message

[lost valley]

Thought that was what the followup was

[cyan quail]

yeah but if it errors you never respond

so you need to respond there

[lost valley]

Hm so can I just throw another followup in the except?

[cyan quail]

as i said, discord.utils.utcnow() is a shortcut for this

[simple canopy]

how do i get all functions of a class

preferably from self (if its possible)

[cyan quail]

you could combine dir(self) which returns all class attributes and methods with typing.callable which returns true if an object is callable

[simple canopy]

👍🏻

thanks

[young bone]

remove the return?

[fervent cradle]

i want this feature in my bot, i have everything figured out except i cant seem to understand how can make my bot detect whether a message sent is a token or not?

[spice oyster]

Delete the indentation near that line and write it again by using the same characters used for other lines.

[silver moat]

you don’t validate it, you just have to check the format

?tag tokens

https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/881309496385884180/927924165254737970/7WdehGn.png

[fervent cradle]

ok

[drifting sleet]

Just curious - when you send a time-consuming command for the first time (typically after bot started) it takes long to process, but second time you use that command and it's way shorter, why is that

[copper dew]

Not sure abt this, but I presume it's being cached or something

and the code for the command may also be caching the results and stuff

[fervent cradle]

How can I do that when executing the command the user and the serer where it was executed put the cooldown

[copper dew]

for caching that ? probably would have to cache the results on redis

[indigo badger]

Nope that did not work.

And I am not getting the user I am getting a ID the is 16 characters that is stored in a database.

Anyone else have any ideas?

Or anything?

And yes it is still popping up the same error.

[indigo badger]

This is the error.

Ping me if you have any ideas on that.

[young bone]

you have Id, change it to id

[indigo badger]

That works.

Your a life saver.

[ionic snow]

Is there a way to make the bot invoke a command? if so, how can I detect from the command if the program invoked it or a user did?

[indigo badger]

Is there a way to have three columns of data showing in one embed without it having a IndexError: tuple index out of range error?

Ping me if you know:

[spice oyster]

Code?

[indigo badger]

I know it is a pic but I am not at my pc right now so I can’t send the exact code.

I am trying to have all three data columns in one field.

[spice oyster]

Your query is returning only 2 columns but you are proceeding like if they are 3.

[indigo badger]

Yes I have three things that I I am trying to fetch.

Am I forgetting something?

[spice oyster]

SELECT reason, time and?

[indigo badger]

Oh that is what I am forgetting I will fix tonight.

I can’t believe I was that stupid to forget that.

[spice oyster]

Happens to the best too.

[spice oyster]

Can I use the same custom_id for Buttons that are in separate Views and have to do different things?

its is very difficult to help you if you don't understand python first.
As it stands, you do not or cannot show that you understand the basic fundamentals of Python. Please continue to learn Python first, as pycord is a Python framework and as such requires that you have a confident grasp on these fundamentals .

oh wow thats uhh yeah wow

this feels very logos + duplox

[copper dew]

u may want to look into this package: https://pypi.org/project/art/

[lost valley]

o.O

[woeful spindle]

extra comma after you define color :)

ur extra comma is in the circle

[loud holly]

is 2.2.2 the latest stable version or is it needed to upgrade to 2.2.0?

I'm currently on 2.1.3

[spice oyster]

Yes, it's stable.

[fringe socket]

Does anybody know what's wrong with this code?

@bot.bridge_command(description="Report an issue to developers.")
async def report(ctx, title_of_report: str, report_type: str, content_of_message: str, message_link: str):
    await ctx.defer()
    achan = bot.get_channel(1022786892925775892)
    auser = await bot.fetch_user(694104689066639372)
    embed = discord.Embed(
        title=f"{title_of_report}",
        description=f"{content_of_message}",
        color=discord.Colour.nitro_pink(),
    )
    embed.add_field(name=f'Report Type', value=f'{report_type}',inline=True)
    embed.add_field(name="Message Link", value=f'{message_link}',inline=True)
    embed.set_author(name=f"Reported by {ctx.author}")
    await auser.send(embed=embed)
    await achan.send(embed=embed)
    await context.message.delete()
    await ctx.respond(f"Successfully filed report.")

Whenever I use the command in bridge form, the message that started the command isn't deleted.

@spice oyster @silver moat ?

basically, it is saying that "context.message.delete()" is not an existent coroutine

[spice oyster]

You are using ctx above. Don't mix.

[merry briar]

How can I hide a team from the participants using the example of default_permission, but only with a role check? The usual has_role decorator does not hide the command, but only checks the resolution

[ionic snow]

Is there a way to invoke a command as the bot? like ctx.invoke but I want the author of the ctx to be the bot

[tiny wagon]

why not just call the function/method itself from the code?

[ionic snow]

Don't mind my stupidity 😄

[ionic snow]

Tnx

[spice oyster]

I guess you are passing a SlashCommand as parameter but then treating it as something else, probably due to a wrong number of parameters.

[full basin]

Then debug it

[cobalt tangle]

how do i make the bot leave a guild

await guild.leave() didnt work

discord.errors.ApplicationCommandInvokeError: Application Command raised an exception: AttributeError: 'coroutine' object has no attribute 'leave' thats the error

[rugged lantern]

5000 fucking lines in your main holy

[cobalt tangle]

lol fax

try cogs

[full basin]

Where's your guild defined

[cobalt tangle]

wait

        guild_id = int(guild_id)
        tolv = self.bot.fetch_guild(guild_id)

@full basin

[full basin]

Fetch guild is a coroutine

[cobalt tangle]

oh i forgor

also how do i get the count of text channels

[full basin]

Guild.channels

Read the docs

[fringe socket]

So ctx.message.delete()?

[vale coral]

is anyone else having problems with getting the slash commands refreshed? I am having this problem just since a few hrs, wasn't having it before. For some reason, new slash commands arent coming when typing / and old slash commands (meaning the ones I remove from the code) are still there, been having this problem for a few hours even after trying both, supplying guild IDs and not supplying them

[spice oyster]

Did you change anything recently? Make sure that you aren't overriding on_connect() and that you don't have debug_guilds for your bot.

[vale coral]

oh yeah i am overriding on_connect, should I not do that? And no I dont have debug_guilds

code for reference

[spice oyster]

You can, but have to add this inside it.

if bot.auto_sync_commands:
    await bot.sync_commands()

[vale coral]

ah thank you!

[loud holly]

Are adding tags to forums available? Or is the feature being worked on?

adding to this^^ as in the bot adding tags

I can't find anything related to adding tags in the discord.ForumChannel section

[proud pagoda]

Does deferring work for buttons?

[silver moat]

yes

[proud pagoda]

Ok thanks

[still helm]

are there any problems with connections of the bots. i become serveral times restarts of my bot

or is there a way to get informations why the bot restarts?

[fervent cradle]

is there any example or anything for dynamic cooldowns?

[rugged lantern]

google

[lost valley]

Error says that embed isn't a argument for your defer

pretty sure the parameters for defer are only ephemeral and invisible (this part could be totally wrong)

[still helm]

you are right https://docs.pycord.dev/en/stable/api.html?highlight=defer#discord.ApplicationContext.defer

[spice oyster]

I didn't know about invisible existing! I should try that for one of my commands.

You must pass embeds, as a list.

[obtuse patrol]

How could I put the commands in a seperate folder

[spice oyster]

Search for "cogs" in the guide.

[obtuse patrol]

okay thanks!

[spice oyster]

But it still shows that the bot is thinking. I'm confused.

[cyan quail]

https://docs.pycord.dev/en/master/api.html#discord.InteractionResponse.defer

This parameter does not apply to interactions of type InteractionType.application_command.

[indigo badger]

I know there is a way to do this and make it set to the time that the command is run but I am not sure what the format is for that.

<t:1664318247:t>
<t:1664318247:T>

See discord.utils.format_dt for the discord.py implementation.
https://docs.pycord.dev/en/stable/api.html#discord.utils.format_dt

Does anyone know?

I am trying to use it in my warnings command.

Where it will get that and put it into the embed with the time the command was ran.

[cyan quail]

use utils.snowflake_time to convert ctx.interaction.id to datetime
https://docs.pycord.dev/en/master/api.html#discord.utils.snowflake_time

maybe we should also have interaction.created_at? idk

[indigo badger]

This is what it looks like right now.

[cyan quail]

is format_dt not working...?

[spice oyster]

Are you using created_at? Show some code.

[indigo badger]

I think this may be why as this is what is storeing in to put there.

What would I put there to allow it to work though that is the problem.

Then this is the line the sends out the time part of the embed.

Any ideas/suggestions?

[simple canopy]

well you need to use unix time stamp in... timestamps

[indigo badger]

So how would I do that then as I have not worked with those yet?

[simple canopy]

you can use calendar.timegm() on datetime.timetuple()

https://docs.python.org/3/library/calendar.html#calendar.timegm

https://docs.python.org/3/library/datetime.html?highlight=timetuple#datetime.datetime.timetuple

[simple canopy]

this will give you unix timestamp

timetuple takes datetime object

[indigo badger]

So I would change the datetime.now() to datetime.timetuple?

[simple canopy]

you need to get timetuple from datetime object

[indigo badger]

And what would I change the part of the embed to?

I am confused.

What do I have to change and to what?

[cyan quail]

utils.format_dt exists so you don't have to do all this

if you have a datetime object, it'll convert it into the correct string format for you

[simple canopy]

this also (just sharing the way i do and it works for me)

[cyan quail]

yeah fair

[indigo badger]

So where would I put that?

[cyan quail]

you also don't need to use timetuple, you can do datetime.now().timestamp() for the unix int

[cyan quail]

see https://docs.pycord.dev/en/master/api.html#discord.utils.format_dt

[indigo badger]

And anything I need to change here?

[cyan quail]

well you'd remove the <t: > part since format_dt returns it already

actually, does your table store the time as a string or as a datetime object?

[indigo badger]

Then put the format_dt where the data that gets stored in the db when the command is ran?

async def addwarn(ctx, reason, user):
x = ''.join(random.choice(string.ascii_uppercase + string.ascii_lowercase + string.digits) for _ in range(16))
async with Client.db.cursor() as cursor:
await cursor.execute('''INSERT INTO warns(user_id, reason, time, guild_id, warnID) VALUES(?,?,?,?,?)''', (user.id, reason, datetime.now(), ctx.guild.id, x))
await Client.db.commit()

I am on mobile so I am not able to block it.

But that is how the info is stored in the db.

[cyan quail]

hmmm i guess giga's approach may be better in this case, storing the unix time and using that

in which case you wouldn't have to change your embed part

[spice oyster]

Exactly. I was going to say the same.

timestamp = int(datetime.datetime.now().timestamp())
await context.respond(content = f"<t:{timestamp}:f>")

[cyan quail]

pretty much

[cyan quail]

basically here, change it to int(datetime.now().timestamp()) and that'd be it i guess

unless you run into some clash with datatypes, in which case either change the column's type or store it as str(int(...))

[spice oyster]

What's the best way to auto-update old embeds sent via a given command in the past? My idea is to create a list of recent messages for that command alone and auto-update embeds every x hours.

[simple canopy]

i'd store message ids in db

and just task.loop once X minutes

and update

[spice oyster]

I was hoping for a better solution but I guess it's not possible to count on Discord API for that.

[white wadi]

Hi, can i trigger send_modal interaction on other modal submit?

so if user submits a modal he gets another?

i keeps getting me errors, so i wanna ask if its even possible or if i am just stupid and write it badly

[cyan quail]

no

[white wadi]

ok thx

[rotund current]

Ok. Quick opinion question. My bot uses fairly extensive integration with a postgresql database via sqlalchemy. I just realized that while all of the database calls are contained in async methods/functions, I am not using the sqlalchemy asyncio package. How bad is this in terms of my bot performance.

I am assuming that I need to go back through and convert everything into sqlalchemy asyncio. Right?

[silver moat]

if it lags, your entire bot will be waiting on that thing to finish

or if 3 people use it, it will take 3 times as long

it would be better to use sqlalc. asyncio

[rotund current]

Thats what I figured. I'll work on converting everything over

[ripe zodiac]

Is it feasibly possible to modify the commands.default_commands() decorator to accept a boolean rather than a discord permission? Or just a generic predicate to show or not show a user a command?
We run our own permissions system that ties in with our database and our permissions don't equal discords permission so I'm trying to hide our hella big number of commands from normal people who don't need to see that whole mess

[obtuse patrol]

how can i timeout somebody when a certain command is passed\

without slash commands

like .timeout @user 5s

or if someone says a banned word, they'd be timed out for 5min or smt

[silver moat]

https://docs.pycord.dev/en/master/api.html#discord.Member.timeout_for

[copper dew]

1. https://docs.pycord.dev/en/stable/api.html#discord.Member.timeout_for
2. probably automod but idk

[obtuse patrol]

ty

[copper dew]

np

[obtuse patrol]

so it'd look like

[silver moat]

it would be

await message.author.timeout_for(datetime.timedelta(minutes=5))

[obtuse patrol]

alright ty

would i have to import something, i'm getting an error

[silver moat]

import datetime ?

[obtuse patrol]

oh

worked, ty

[fervent cradle]

hey, i'm trying to use dynamic cooldown in slash commands but the cooldown doesn't work , can someone help me

[copper dew]

code ?

[copper dew]

something in the code is returning as none, which bypasses the whole system. this could be that the json file isn't there, or something else. or you can do it this way (not sure if this fixes it or not):

async def custom_cooldown(self, message: Message):
        returnValue = None
        with open('./utils/premium_members.json') as f:
            data = json.load(f)
        if message.author.id not in data['premium_members']:
            returnValue = commands.Cooldown(rate=1, per=86400)
        return returnValue

[fervent cradle]

k i'll remove the json file and try

[copper dew]

ideally you'll want to store the data in a db instead of a json file

[fervent cradle]

i was just testing it, because my friend also had same problem

he was telling that cooldown works without options in slash commands but not with it

[copper dew]

hm ok

[fervent cradle]

this doesn't work either

[copper dew]

then im not sure tbh

[tame rose]

How do you get the modal's contents after submission? Am I supposed to use interaction.data?

[tame rose]

Nvm, I got it. It's accessed through children.value

[signal stratus]

Does anyone know how to fix this?

[rugged lantern]

by reading

[fringe socket]

?tag codeblocks

[obtuse junco]

No tag codeblocks found.

[fringe socket]

?tag codeblock

[obtuse junco]

Please put your code in a code block:
```py
Here is your Code
```

That makes reading code in Discord a lot easier:

print("This is an example.")

[cobalt tangle]

How can I log every slash command when someone uses it in a specific discord server channel

without breaking anything

[cyan quail]

use the on_application_command event
https://docs.pycord.dev/en/master/api.html#discord.on_application_command

[cobalt tangle]

wont pycord have something default like:

run the application cmd or smth

[cyan quail]

no, it's an extra event

[cobalt tangle]

oki

[cyan quail]

you can use it safely

[cobalt tangle]

ok ty

[cobalt tangle]

how do i get who invoked the cmd

do i just input ctx

[cyan quail]

the event takes ctx as its argument, which is the standard ApplicationContext you see in commands

[cobalt tangle]

ok

and how do i get which cmd

[tiny wagon]

is edit_original_message changed to edit_original_response?

[cyan quail]

ctx.command

[cobalt tangle]

oki

[cyan quail]

yes, but edit_original_message will still stay as an aias

[tiny wagon]

also it is not working

[cyan quail]

until v3

elaborate?

[tiny wagon]

i want to edit the view

i want to edit the message in which the button is a component

unkown webhook error

[cyan quail]

you should do interaction.response.edit_message

[tiny wagon]

ohk

[cyan quail]

edit_original_message is for edits to the response, not the original message

[tiny wagon]

it always confuse me whenever i come across it, make this clear when?

[cyan quail]

hence why it was renamed to edit_original_response

[tiny wagon]

ok this works, but then shouldnt be the interaction.response name be also changed?

[cobalt tangle]

Can my bot fetch users who arent in any of its guilds? If so, how?

[cobalt tangle]

v3 is not near lmfao

[cyan quail]

Well yeah, I was just saying it will be removed in v3

[cyan quail]

bot.fetch_user

[cobalt tangle]

lol

[cobalt tangle]

ty

also imagine a bot with the prefix sudo

[cyan quail]

No, as interaction.response is the actual interface that deals with responding

I mean you can do that if you want

[cobalt tangle]

can i also use this for hackban

[cyan quail]

I guess?

[cobalt tangle]

alr

[tame rose]

modal = discord.ui.Modal(*fields, title = 'Form')
async def submit(itrc):
  await itrc.response.defer()
modal.callback = submit

await itrc.send_modal(modal)
await modal.wait()

Is this how it's supposed to be done?

The interaction is a slash command btw

[cobalt tangle]

returns: Unknown User

the id is 100% correct

    @utility.command(description="Get user info on someone")
    @commands.cooldown(1, 30, commands.BucketType.user)
    async def userinfo(self, ctx, member: Option(discord.Member, 'User to get info on', required=False), member_id: Option(str, 'User ID to get info on', required=False)):
        if member == None and member_id == None:
            member = ctx.author
        elif member_id == None:
            member = member
        elif member == None:
            member_id == int(member_id)
            member = await self.bot.fetch_user(member_id)

^ code ^

[cyan quail]

You have to convert to int

[spice oyster]

What's the difference between interaction.message and interaction.original_message()? I read the docs, I've tried them, but I'm still not sure.

[cobalt tangle]

i did

[cyan quail]

Doesn't look like it

[cobalt tangle]

member_id = int(member_id)

[cobalt tangle]

also why isnt bans = await ctx.guild.bans() not working

    bans = await ctx.guild.bans()
TypeError: object BanIterator can't be used in 'await' expression

[rare ice]

Use .flatten()

It will return a list

[cobalt tangle]

i cant even

get bans()

[cyan quail]

Idk then, must be wrong

[rare ice]

Exactly you need to flatten it

[cobalt tangle]

lemme try

[cyan quail]

What version are you on

[cobalt tangle]

await ctx.guild.bans().flatten?

[rare ice]

.tag tias

[winter condor]

https://i.imgur.com/VkRzeQJ.png

[cobalt tangle]

2.2.2

[rare ice]

You need to call flatten

[cobalt tangle]

ik just asking

[cobalt tangle]

the position

[rare ice]

await ctx.guild.bans().flatten()

[cobalt tangle]

how would i get all the user's name and ID

async for?

[rare ice]

No

[cobalt tangle]

then?

[rare ice]

Not async once it’s a list

[cobalt tangle]

oki

[cyan quail]

interaction.message gets the message the interaction was initiated from, while original_message gets the first response message from the bot, which is why it was renamed to original_response

[spice oyster]

So, if I click on a button and immediately call original_response() in the callback, do I get nothing?

[cyan quail]

It will error

[spice oyster]

What's the difference between interaction.response and interaction.original_response() then?

[cyan quail]

interaction.response is used for responding

[spice oyster]

Oh, right! Dumb question.

[spice oyster]

Now, if I do interaction.message.mentions[0] on a private message sent from my bot, why do I get an IndexError? I believe it was working a few days ago but I'm not sure if I've accidentally changed something. Solved.

I know why! I'll try using interaction.message.raw_mentions[0] because docs says it's the way to go in private messages.

[umbral island]

How to check the permission of a bot inside of a cog?

I attempted

if ctx.guild.me.permissions.view_channels == True: print('True')

but this just outputs object member has no attribute permissions

[spice oyster]

What's the difference between Bot.cogs and Bot.extensions attributes?

[spice oyster]

Write guild_permissions instead of permissions.

[umbral island]

I now get 'ApplicationContext' object has no attribute 'guild_permissions'

its not getting the bots permission. its now trying to get the permission of ctx, which isnt a thing

[spice oyster]

Try removing .guild and start with ctx.me instead.

[umbral island]

figured it out, it was if ctx.guild.me.guild_permissions that did the trick

[spice oyster]

Yes, that's what I meant the first time. Good, good.

[loud holly]

wait is edit_original_message fully removed from v2.2.0?

[cyan quail]

No

[loud holly]

I'm guessing it won't ever be removed right?

[cyan quail]

It will remain for the entirety of v2

[loud holly]

for v3 it'll be removed?

[cyan quail]

Yes

[loud holly]

alr thanks 👍

[cyan quail]

v3 will likely have larger breaking changes to worry about, but that's not for a while

[loud holly]

I see, thanks for the quick response!

[wary rover]

Hello!
I would like to add buttons on an embed.
The only problem is that I would like to define the buttons from an array.
My question is, how to add a view to a message while giving a list to this view.

Something like this

[simple canopy]

you can use an discord.ui.Button class

iterate through list to create buttons, and then add them to the view via view.add_item()

https://docs.pycord.dev/en/stable/api.html?highlight=discord ui button#discord.ui.Button

[wary rover]

I'll check it out
I'm really struggling with the UI so it might be complicated

[simple canopy]

see this example, it should help you https://github.com/Pycord-Development/pycord/blob/master/examples/views/button_roles.py

[cold hamlet]

How can I display start and end times and stuff in discord.Game?

I don't think its built into the lib is it

actually can you even do that with a bot account

[silver moat]

bots cannot have rich presence

[cold hamlet]

Wow that sucks

cheers

[silver moat]

if you want to change a user’s rich presence, see https://github.com/qwertyquerty/pypresence

[cold hamlet]

Nah I wanted to display a "current lesson" style thing with my college's bot, I guess I can just write the start & end times in the status

[cyan quail]

at least you can use the time formatting for them only in about me rip

[silver moat]

oh also, you cannot have start and end times. Either a start or an end.

[cold hamlet]

Oh really? An end time would make more sense but I could've sworn there were two fields for "start playing at" and "round finishes" etc

[cold hamlet]

I can just have a command or message trigger for that one 😅

[gleaming falcon]

Does the event on_scheduled_event_delete get fired after the ScheduledEvent end_time has passed?

[cyan quail]

i'd assume no unless the event deletes itself after the end_time has passed

which i don't think it does...?

[gleaming falcon]

I mean.. it no longer shows, so I would have expected it to be deleted. As a parallel, when a Forum Thread gets auto-archived, the edit event is fired. Was hoping something similar here.

[cyan quail]

well i'm not entirely sure myself since i don't work with them

but they have status.completed listed on the docs

so i'd assume they stick around

in which case just use on_scheduled_event_update and check after.status

[gleaming falcon]

Ah, maybe it'll auto-update. Thanks for the thought

[gleaming falcon]

Okay, the docs were a little terrible to follow, but you are correct

Guild Scheduled Event Status Update Automation (<-- They should word this better)

[...]
An active scheduled event for a voice channel where all users have left the voice channel will automatically end a few minutes after the last user leaves the channel
When an event with 'status': ACTIVE and 'entity_type': VOICE has no users connected to the voice channel for a certain period of time (on the order of minutes), the event status will be automatically set to COMPLETED.

An external event will automatically end at its scheduled end time
An event with 'entity_type': EXTERNAL at its scheduled_end_time will automatically have status set to COMPLETED.

[cyan quail]

nice

[west pebble]

Why do channel mentions show up as #deleted-channel on the mobile client

[wary rover]

Thank you so much for taking the time to help me! I have succeeded

[simple canopy]

you're welcome

[fervent cradle]

to_update = update_guild_commands[guild_id]
KeyError: '1'

So how can I fix this?
The bots in the server and its the right guild id im pulling it from a json file

[simple canopy]

try printing out things you pull from json

may be you are missing out on something

[fervent cradle]

yeah its printing the right guild

[simple canopy]

can you show traceback?

whole error

[simple canopy]

what pycord version are you using?

[young bone]

pip show py-cord

[simple canopy]

you should try updating

but it may break somethings for you

the latest version is 2.2.2 iirc

[fervent cradle]

alr

ill upgrade

the bot goes online but it doesn't register commands

[simple canopy]

?tag commandnoshow

[obtuse junco]

My slash/message/user commands aren't visible. Why?

1. Ensure that you've specified guild IDs in your decorator. If you don't, the command is "global" and could take an hour to show up. You should always be passing a list of guild IDs when developing new commands; you can trivially remove them later when you actually want global commands.

@bot.slash_command(name="hi", guild_ids=[...])  # create a slash command for the supplied guilds
@bot.slash_command(name="hi") # Not passing in guild_ids creates a global slash command (might take an hour to register)

2. If you've been restarting your bot a lot to test commands, you may have hit any number of Discord API rate limits. Wait a couple of minutes before trying again. If you want to confirm this, do a basic logging setup in the beginning of your program and carefully watch the output of your bot when it starts:

import logging
logging.basicConfig(level=logging.INFO)

3. If you defined an on_connect() function in a bot's class, you overrode the function that syncs commands to Discord. You'll need to call self.sync_commands() to ensure this is done.

4. Discord sometimes gets confused on the client side. If you've checked all of these, hit ctrl-R to force a reload.

[fervent cradle]

yeah I found out what I was doing wrong and i feel really dumb
nothing on your end thank you for your help
but pretty much I was passing in guild_ids with only 1 guild specified and didn't realize I hadn't changed it to guild_id

[cyan quail]

channel isn't cached by the client

[west pebble]

Oh really? That’s how that works? So if I killed my desktop client process and it posted a new embed with a channel mention. It would do the same?

[lost cypress]

can someone help me out with the following:
I am trying to delete a message that has been created using the ApplicationContext.respond() function

self.message = await self.ctx.respond(
            embed=embed,
            view=self
        )```
returns an interaction, the value of interaction.message is None
```python
  await self.message.delete()
``` does obviously not work

However, after editing the message using:
```python
        await interaction.response.edit_message(
            embed=embed,
            view=self
        )
``` where the interaction is created by a buttonpress

```python
  await self.message.delete()
``` works.
However, can i also delete the original response message without it being edited?

[silver moat]

why do you want to delete it? just send it ephemerally

[lost cypress]

i want to delete it because its a view menu

and if the command is used again i want it to close the old menu

and open a new one

[spice oyster]

Can you use delete_after?

[lost cypress]

no because then the amount of time the menu is open will be fixed

[spice oyster]

That's fair.

[lost cypress]

its strange in the first place how an interaction can apparantly be deleted after i edit its message

my brain fails to comprehend that, the interaction class does not even have a .delete() function

[silver moat]

https://docs.pycord.dev/en/stable/api.html#discord.ApplicationContext.delete

it literally does

[lost cypress]

thats applicationContext

[silver moat]

it’s just not called delete

[lost cypress]

isnt that different from delete?

[silver moat]

https://docs.pycord.dev/en/stable/api.html#discord.Interaction.delete_original_response

there’s a reason why is the most reacted reaction on this post

[lost cypress]

they changed it

well ill try this

maybe it works

[spice oyster]

What's the recommended way to implement a function that accepts two types for the same parameter in Python? Should I use overloading?

[silver moat]

just take both and figure it out within your code

[spice oyster]

Do you mean like this?

def send_log(
    context: discord.ApplicationContext or discord.Interaction,
    event: str
):

[silver moat]

it should be typing.Union[a,b]

iirc

[spice oyster]

Do I need to import Union? I've never used it.

[lost cypress]

also vscode was trolling me big time

[silver moat]

if you have any modern IDE it should give solutions.

[silver moat]

vscode has pretty bad autocomplete imo

[lost cypress]

i mean its fine when i type everything

static typing ftw

but in this case i did not and i got trolled by it

[spice oyster]

Found it: from typing import Union.

Is it weird to still call it context in that case?

[silver moat]

yeah

that’s normal

[spice oyster]

Thanks! Now it's more elegant compared to when I was using overloading.

[cyan quail]

typically the clients cache try to cache all possible channels on startup, but it can fail/miss some

[cyan quail]

if you're on python 3.10 you can just use vertical bar py context: ApplicationContext | Interaction

[gleaming falcon]

The best part about 3.10 (or was it 3.9?) is being able to ditch typing almost altogether and typehint using standard classes (e.g. dict, int)

Hey. I'm getting an error when trying to send my modal from an application command... Here is how I'm sending it:

modal = self.BirthdayForm(title="<title message>", timeout=None)
await ctx.response.send_modal(modal)

Here's a snippet of the error:

discord.errors.ApplicationCommandInvokeError: Application Command raised an exception: HTTPException: 400 Bad Request (error code: 50035): Invalid Form Body
In data.components: This field is required

I can give a full traceback if someone wants

Forgot to mention that I get an "Application did not respond" error on Discord and no modal appears.

[spice oyster]

I didn't switch yet because I'm not sure the server where I host my bot supports it. When I run the bot, it says "Python 3.7" in the command prompt.

Actually, they support 3.10 too! It took me a while to find it. The interface wasn't showing it because it's a new feature, so I have to edit a file for enabling it.

[copper dew]

hm interesting. i've based of all of my bot's docker images on python 3.10 (both alpine and bullseye-slim variants), so for me i've been running 3.10 for quite some time

[spice oyster]

I made my bot as a hobby project about a year ago, then took a long break and started coding again last month, so I didn't immediately realize Python 3.10 was a thing. You are pro.

[copper dew]

a friend of mine helped me optimize my dockerfiles, and i've slowly tweaked those over the following months. i've started making bots around 1 year ago and haven't stopped, which is probably the reason why i've been keeping track of the updates

python 3.11 is scheduled to come out 10/24/2022, so gotta prep my packages and bots to update later

[slender shuttle]

I am making a class that inherits from discord.Bot
What is the decorator for methods that need to be slash command?

[spice oyster]

Ok, that's without inheriting

Oh, I don't know. Either that way or like in Cogs.

more than likely u have a file named discord.py (the actual file name, not dpy), and that's causing namespace issues. Rename that file to something like bot.py and it should fix the error

[spice oyster]

This is fine. I see no conflicts.

I am trying to give a user a role if a number is between 50-100. Can someone please tell me if and how this is possible?

[fringe socket]

OFC it is possible!

First create a variable for the number.

Then do an if/elif (depends on the context) statement checking whether

if variable in ['50', '51', '52', '53', 'etc.']:
  ...

Put your code where the ... is

You should display your code in python next time, it's easier to understand

[full basin]

Are you really creating a list with numbers? Just do if variable > 50 and variable < 100

[fringe socket]

Meh

Wasn't thinking

[gleaming falcon]

Or even better,
if 50 <= variable <= 100:

Worthy mention, likely slower
if variable in range(50,100)

now im starting to wonder what all stuff will we get in v3

[proud mason]

bro fr

[spice oyster]

After updating to Python 3.10, my remote server gives me this error: ModuleNotFoundError: No module named 'discord' Why?

[proud mason]

how are you installing the requirements?

make sure to do it like python3.10 -m pip .....

[spice oyster]

Same as before, via a requirements.txt that's automatically being loaded by the hosting provider.

[proud mason]

i just broke my head over that 2 days ago cuz apparently my python3 --version was still 3.8 on my vm

[proud mason]

this forces it to use 3.10 while installing the requirements

[spice oyster]

I'll ask on their Discord server because it looks like the issue is on their end.

[proud mason]

👍

[proud mason]

try python3 --version and if thats not 3.10 then do this ^

[fervent cradle]

how can we gracefully exit a bot in pycord without the error: RuntimeError: Event loop is closed

[proud mason]

call await bot.close()

and the library should do everything about the event loop

[fervent cradle]

i wanna use it when someone keyboard interrupts

[fervent cradle]

also btw that also raises the event loop error

i just cant understand how i can close a bot gracefully without raising all these errors

[round rivet]

That's just a Windows thing

You can ignore it

[fervent cradle]

ok

[proud mason]

For some reason, when i run my bot from vsc and stop it using the red Stop button, bot.close doesnt get called and i got no idea why

[spice oyster]

They will look into that issue. I'll run it on the previous version for now.

[rare ice]

What are the parameters given in on_error? the docs say event_method, *args and **kwargs. Not sure if ctx is included.

[spice oyster]

I don't think it's included in that, but you can get it from on_application_command_error().

[wary rover]

Hey,
Do you know how to bypass the obligation to make a response when sending a modal?

If not, do you have a solution to make the response completely invisible

[gleaming falcon]

send a blank response (make sure to try/catch or contextlib.suppress the inevitable HTTPError). It's a hack, but it's currently the only way that I'm aware of.

class MyModal(Modal):
    async def callback(self, interaction: discord.Interaction):
        # ...
        with contextlib.suppress(discord.HTTPException):
            await interaction.response.send_message()

[spice oyster]

Did you try to make it hidden with ephemeral = True? I'm not sure if it fits your needs.

[wary rover]

Because if the person receives 13 ephemeral messages it's always so disgusting

[wary rover]

I'll give it a try, it doesn't promise to be perfect
thx 🙂

I create an embed editor, given the number of fields it is complicated

It is in French for the moment but here is the idea

[wary rover]

Not perfect, but functional for the moment

Discord is wasting so much screen space on mobile.

[wary rover]

[fervent cradle]

how can we use asynchronous functions for dynamic cooldowns? i tried using asyncio.run() too, but it gave me some event loop error

async def nuke_cooldown(ctx):
        premium_check = await db.check_premium(ctx.guild.id)
        if premium_check == True:
            return None
        else:
            return commands.Cooldown(1, 60)

i am using asyncpg so i must use await for running the check, but then this function is completely non asynchronous and doesnt support asyncio.run

So I tried that my bot writes, for example, every 5 hours: "How are you?" but nothing happens and there is no error could someone help me?

here is my try:

sätze = [" Was macht ihr so ^^ mir ist langweilig ",
                 " Habt ihr lust was mit jemanden zu zocken? fragt in #§⌨§_gamechat nach :) ", " Wie gehts euch :o? ",
                 " Komm schreibt mal was werdet nicht inaktiv pls^^ ", " Was habt ihr so gemacht ? o_o "]
@tasks.loop(hours=5)
async def server():
    channel = bot.get_channel(1030778721092780052)
    satz = random.choice(sätze)
    await channel.send(satz)
    server.start()

[bronze vector]

you need to get server.start() outside of function

[fervent cradle]

delete or what do you mean?

[bronze vector]

you're calling a function inside of function

@tasks.loop(hours=5)

[silver moat]

you can use loop_until_conplete

where and how?

[silver moat]

this article explains it better: https://pythonalgos.com/python-asyncio-run-vs-run-until-complete/?amp=1

[fervent cradle]

can someone help me

[fervent cradle]

wait no that wont work, to break it down the problem is i need to use a synchronous function , i.e., def and not async def and in that function i need to run another imported function which is asynchronous and needs to be awaited and i cant await it since the main function is synchronous

[errant crane]

Saying it doesn't work or asking what's wrong with this code? is not helpful for yourself or others.

@fervent cradle ^

[fervent cradle]

So I would like that my bot send a message every 5 hours. So I specify different sentences and a random sentence should be sent by the bot every 5 hours

[fervent cradle]

def nuke_cooldown(ctx):
        premium_check = asyncio.new_event_loop().run_until_complete(db.check_premium(ctx.guild.id))
        if premium_check == True:
            return None
        else:
            return commands.Cooldown(1, 60)

launches the runtime error: Cannot run event loop while another loop is running and the runtime warning: Enable tracemalloc to get the object allocation traceback

[fervent cradle]

my try look like this

@tasks.loop(seconds=1)
async def server():
    sätze = [" Was macht ihr so ^^ mir ist langweilig ",
             " Habt ihr lust was mit jemanden zu zocken? fragt in #§⌨§_gamechat nach :) ", " Wie gehts euch :o? ",
             " Komm schreibt mal was werdet nicht inaktiv pls^^ ", " Was habt ihr so gemacht ? o_o "]
    channel = bot.get_channel(1030778721092780052)
    satz = random.choice(sätze)
    await channel.send(satz)

[silver moat]

get nest_asyncio

[silver moat]

and what’s not working

[fervent cradle]

when i start it nothing happens

[silver moat]

did you run server.start()

[fervent cradle]

here

[silver moat]

you run the server.start() outside of the loop

e.g. in on _ready

[fervent cradle]

yeah it work but than dont work this

@bot.event
async def on_ready():
    activity = discord.Game(name="a/help für die commands etc.", type=3)
    await bot.change_presence(status=discord.Status.online, activity=activity)
    print("bin da ace")

[silver moat]

?

wdym

[fervent cradle]

the Discord activity script is in an on_ready and not working if i put the server.start() in a on_ready

[silver moat]

I don’t see the problem

[fervent cradle]

look

[silver moat]

you can put it after the presence change

[fervent cradle]

here if i put the @bot.event
async def on_ready():
server.start()
out of my code
there a activity

if i put it in

[silver moat]

you can put both in one on_ready

[fervent cradle]

okay

it works thanks

[silver moat]

you’re welcome

[west pebble]

Can you you have slashcommand choices pulled from a list?

[silver moat]

yes

static list = options. dynamic list = autocomplete

[west pebble]

i have a list named "role_names" that gets populated on_ready.
the part i cant figure out is how to show the content as selectable in the discord client

[wary rover]

Little question,

What is the maximum time a bot has to edit a message?

[fervent cradle]

thank you it works now, just one last problem that i see the error handling is not working a lot nowadays, like this is the code

@nuke.error
    async def nuke_error(error):
        if isinstance(error, commands.CommandOnCooldown):
            ne_embed = discord.Embed('This command has a cooldown of 1 minute. If you want to remove the delay, you can request for a premium license key from the developer.', colour=discord.Colour.red())
            await ctx.respond(embed=ne_embed)
        else:
            ne_embed = discord.Embed('Something went wrong from the backend, please try again later.', colour=discord.Colour.red())
            raise error

but the interpreter acts like it doesnt even exist and raises an on_interaction error with the cooldown error along with another exception stating Moderation.nuke_error() takes one positional argument but three were given

[silver moat]

self?

it should take 3 args: self, ctx, and error

[fervent cradle]

oh wait yea, forgot that thank you so much for the help

[wary rover]

Sorry to interrupt, could I have an answer to my question?

[spice oyster]

Interactions must be responded within 3 seconds without defer or within 15 minutes with defer.
Other than that, I'm pretty sure that editing a message doesn't have a time limit.

[still helm]

is there a Option in bridge_command ?

[hallow phoenix]

hello, i have a question.
does discord.ext.commands.Bot.get_message() always find a message if a bot is on the server with that message? whether is there something related to the cache and after some time i won't be able to get this message with discord.ext.commands.Bot.get_message() anymore ?

[indigo badger]

Is there a limit on how many tables should be in one file for aiosqlite DB’s?

[silver moat]

Ok good I am not at that amount yet.

But getting there.

[spice oyster]

I am making a loop, that runs multiple bots using 1 file

Not sure why but this sends two times.

And I can’t find anything that would make it do that.

[frozen salmon]

It looks like you ran it twice, ran the command twice

[indigo badger]

I didn’t trust me.

[frozen salmon]

Is this the only command that does this?

[rugged lantern]

u didnt trust u?

[indigo badger]

No it also does this for a bridge one too.

But the other commands it does not.

That is the bridge one.

So you can see why I am confused on why it is doing that.

If anyone knows why let me know why and how to fix it.

[rare ice]

Does the prefix command do that? If it does, you probably have 2 instances of the bot running.

[indigo badger]

It does but see I don’t have two instances running tho.

I only have that code running on one host.

Sooo.

And the bridge command is only on the bot is code no other bot.

So I don’t know.

Any other ideas?

[rugged lantern]

it 100% is two instances running, so the best you can do is cope

[indigo badger]

Cope?

So I changed it to reply and it worked with the prefix one but when I went to do the slash it would not run with that.

So not sure how to have it work both ways……

[rare ice]

You should know how to type hint as it’s a simple aspect of python.

[indigo badger]

Anything with my question.

?

[echo pagoda]

Hello, I'm trying to create a bot that reads exif metadata from an image URL and spits it back out at you. I know absolutely nothing about Python so a friend helped me out with the core of the bot (feed URL > get metadata as message) but he's pretty busy and I'd like to add some QoL stuff. Things like having it also spit out the output as a txt file attached to the message (or alternatively only as a text file which can be previewed from Discord itself), including the URL in said text file for future reference and more importantly having it format the metadata differently depending on what it detects in the "software" field of the exif tags. Would any of this be possible?

[copper dew]

yes it would be

you'll need to feed it through a metadata extracting lib, and do any processing needed. the way you do it is completely up to you and your friend, since i dont do image processing stuff in python

[echo pagoda]

I'll put the processing aside for now, can I have it spit out a text file instead of a message?

[copper dew]

yep

probably would want to use the file parameter when sending the results

[echo pagoda]

It's set up to return the data like this for now await ctx.respond(json.dumps(dict(img.text.items()), indent=4))

(also need it to include the original url)

[copper dew]

something like this (note that this has not been tested yet, may not work):

import discord
import io

# Assumes the rest of the setup code has been declared
file = discord.File(fp=io.BytesIO(bytes(json.dumps(dict(img.text.items()), indent=4))), filename="results.json")
await ctx.respond(file=file)

ideally the results should be sent as a embed

but the results are parsed and formatted so it isn't raw json

[echo pagoda]

Nope

Returns a bunch of errors, mainly file = discord.File(fp=io.BytesIO(bytes(json.dumps(dict(img.text.items()), indent=4))), filename="results.json") TypeError: string argument without an encoding

[copper dew]

oops probably should be this:

file = discord.File(fp=io.BytesIO(bytes(json.dumps(dict(img.text.items()), indent=4), encoding="utf-8")), filename="results.json")

[echo pagoda]

Yep that works, thanks. Any way to include the url both before the metadata in the file and/or as the filename?

[copper dew]

for the filename, just replace the filename arg with something like this: filename=f"{url}".json
for the metadata in the file, probably want to dump both the img.text.items() dict and a dict containing the metadata url as well

[echo pagoda]

So just add another dict with the url after the img.text.items?

[copper dew]

yeah

since json.dumps accepts only 1 object, you would have to add the metadata to the dict of items as well

[vapid pumice]

Anyone have experience hosting with Digital Ocean? I'm STRUGGLING to set this thing up because it isn't recognizing my Procfile

[echo pagoda]

Trying to figure it out

[copper dew]

so probably to do it, it would look like this:

import discord
import io

# Assumes the rest of the setup code has been declared
url = "https://example.com" # This is the metadata url
itemData = dict(img.text.items())
item.update({"url": url})

file = discord.File(fp=io.BytesIO(bytes(json.dumps(itemData, indent=4), encoding="utf-8")), filename=f"{url}.json")
await ctx.respond(file=file)

[copper dew]

digital ocean doesn't use procfiles

[vapid pumice]

Right - so what do I use instead? >.<

[copper dew]

2 ways: Dockerize your app and deploy as an app on digitalocean, or get a droplet and run it manually in the droplet

i have all of my bots completely dockerized (and public, so ppl can self host their own version as well), so all that needs to be done is to pass in the env vars and then running it

[vapid pumice]

Thanks for this info

Going to look up " how to dockerize " hehehehe

[copper dew]

np ! i deploy all of my bots using Docker for prod

[echo pagoda]

hmm

[copper dew]

probably forgot to add a ) at the end

[echo pagoda]

It's highlighted

[spark lantern]

ok this is going to sound like a supremely stupid question but why does this not work

@bot.slash_command(description='Ban a Member')
@commands.has_permissions(ban_members=True)
async def ban(ctx):
    await ctx.respond(f"Hello, {ctx.author}!")

    @bot.commands.has_permissions(ban_members=True)
NameError: name 'commands' is not defined```

[copper dew]

yeah i fixed it. here's the fixed version

file = discord.File(fp=io.BytesIO(bytes(json.dumps(itemData, indent=4), encoding="utf-8")), filename=f"{url}.json")

[copper dew]

have you imported discord.ext.commands ?

[spark lantern]

yep i have

[echo pagoda]

Runs but returns this when feeding it a url discord.errors.ApplicationCommandInvokeError: Application Command raised an exception: NameError: name 'item' is not defined

[copper dew]

might want to add this. the only way to append a dict is to use the update() method:

url = "https://example.com" # This is the metadata url
itemData = dict(img.text.items())
item.update({"url": url})

[echo pagoda]

Uh

It's already there though?

bot = discord.Bot()
@bot.slash_command()
async def proompt (ctx, url: str):
    try:
        async with httpx.AsyncClient() as client:
            r = await client.get(url)
            data = r.content
            img = Image.open(io.BytesIO(data))
    except Exception as e:
        return await ctx.respond(f"Failed loading image {e}")
        itemData = dict(img.text.items())
    item.update({"url": url})
    file = discord.File(fp=io.BytesIO(bytes(json.dumps(itemData, indent=4), encoding="utf-8")), filename=f"{url}.json")
    await ctx.respond(file=file)```

[copper dew]

might want to swap the order of both decorators

[echo pagoda]

Nvm I left something out

wait nope

[copper dew]

bot = discord.Bot()
@bot.slash_command()
async def proompt (ctx, url: str):
    try:
        async with httpx.AsyncClient() as client:
            r = await client.get(url)
            data = r.content
            img = Image.open(io.BytesIO(data))
            itemData = dict(img.text.items())
            itemData.update({"url": url})
            file = discord.File(fp=io.BytesIO(bytes(json.dumps(itemData, indent=4), encoding="utf-8")), filename=f"{url}.json")
            await ctx.respond(file=file)
    except Exception as e:
        return await ctx.respond(f"Failed loading image {e}")

[echo pagoda]

Yep that works, thanks a bunch

[copper dew]

np

[echo pagoda]

Oh yeah, where do I have to define the command's description?

The one that pops up when typing it out

[copper dew]

you can define it as a doc string or within the description parameter of the slash command

declaring it using the description parameter:

bot = discord.Bot()

@bot.slash_command(description="Description for the command")
async def proompt(ctx, url: str):
    ... 

declaring it with docstrings:

bot = discord.Bot()

@bot.slash_command()
async def proompt(ctx, url: str):
    """Description for the command"""

and to add an description to the options, here's an example:

from discord.commands import Option

bot = discord.Bot()

@bot.slash_command()
async def proompt(ctx, url: Option(str, "The url to feed")):
    """Description for the command"""

[echo pagoda]

Yeah I did it with the description, was the simplest

[copper dew]

ok !

[echo pagoda]

"This command is outdated, please try again in a few minutes" huh

[copper dew]

generally when that happens wait a couple of minutes. this happens when you are loading the command globally, and it needs some time to update. if you are just testing it, you can pass in guild_ids=[] (in @bot.slash_command()) to load it only in your guild

[echo pagoda]

Aah, got it

[copper dew]

and in the list, just add your guild id in there

intents = discord.Intents.default()
intents.message_content = True
bot = commands.Bot(command_prefix=".", intents=intents)

[echo pagoda]

One last question, how come there are tons of backslashes in the .json?

[copper dew]

probably has not been escaped yet. not sure how to escape the data tho

[echo pagoda]

Got it

[copper dew]

nothing wrong from what i can see. heroku is known to mess some stuff up w/ discord bots

np

i'll say dont use replit or heroku

digitalocean, oracle free tier, gcp free tier, aws, azure, etc

if your in a bind then oracle free tier would work

yes

i would avoid staying away from replit and heroku

[echo pagoda]

Let me know if you find out

[copper dew]

here are some options:

• AWS
• Azure
• GCP
• Oracle
• DigitalOcean

[copper dew]

ok

[echo pagoda]

Would using another file format work?

[copper dew]

it might but im not sure

[echo pagoda]

Tried to change the extension to .txt earlier (after the filename) and it worked but still had the backslashes

[copper dew]

probably the reason why is that it's not escaping the data since it's directly being piped in as bytes

[echo pagoda]

So there's no workaround

Oh well

Someone @ me if there's a workaround

[echo pagoda]

figured it out

Friend helped
file = discord.File(fp=io.BytesIO(bytes(json.dumps(itemData, indent=4).replace("\\", ""), encoding="utf-8")), filename=f"{url}.json")

[copper dew]

ok !

[proud mason]

Railway and heroku are almost the same

Railway probably shares ip too

[copper dew]

ok got it

[fervent cradle]

this is my code and i keep getting missing permission error though i already error handled it

@kick.error
    async def kick_error(self, ctx, error):
        if isinstance(error, discord.Forbidden):
            k_resp = discord.Embed(description=f'Error kicking user. Please check if the user is still on this server and my highest role is above their highest one.', colour=discord.Colour.red())
            await ctx.respond(embed=ke_resp)
        elif isinstance(error, commands.MissingPermissions):
            k_resp = discord.Embed(description=f'Error kicking user. Please check if the user is still on this server and my highest role is above their highest one.', colour=discord.Colour.red())
        else:
            k_resp = discord.Embed(description='Something went wrong from the backend', colour=discord.Colour.red())
            await ctx.respond(embed=k_resp)
            raise error

[clever nova]

is it possible to use slashcommand parameters in a dynamic cooldown?

`def my_cooldown(slash_command_parameter):
if slash_command_parameter == "pasword":
return None
else:
return commands.Cooldown(1, 30)

@bot.slash_command(name="cooldown_test", description="Test")
@commands.dynamic_cooldown(my_cooldown(slash_command_parameter), commands.BucketType.user)
async def cooldown_test(ctx: discord.ApplicationContext, slash_command_parameter: str):
print(dir(ctx))
await ctx.respond("message")`

[clever nova]

On a little bit more context: my users can send some parameter and if the paremeter is correct, the i want to give it a cooldown, and if not, they should be able to try again immediately

[pseudo glen]

after.channel.guild.id

[cyan quail]

https://docs.pycord.dev/en/master/api.html#discord.ApplicationContext.selected_options

and you don't call the function inside dynamic_cooldown, it should just be my_cooldown

[fervent cradle]

hello i need some help ^^
I have a rank system in a library not in the main.py file and I get the error when I want to run the "rank" command
discord.ext.commands.errors.CommandNotFound: Command "rank" is not found

here is the code

[cyan quail]

are you sure the cog is loading?

[fervent cradle]

so?

for filename in os.listdir('./cogs'):
    if filename.endswith('.py'):
        bot.load_extension(f'cogs.{filename[:-3]}')

[cyan quail]

what pycord version

[fervent cradle]

py-cord==2.0.0b7

[cyan quail]

upgrade to 2.2.2

[fervent cradle]

how?

[pseudo glen]

pip install -U py-cord==2.2.2

[fervent cradle]

okay

[fervent cradle]

hello i need help when i want to send the level up message to a specific channel i get the following error

channel = bot.get_channel(1030800368197718036)
NameError: name 'bot' is not defined

[pseudo glen]

self.bot_get_channel(...)

[fervent cradle]

okay

the code is from a friend from me

[tame rose]

Is it possible to have the slash command options to change depending on the first option?

[spice oyster]

Do you mean the values or the names?

[tame rose]

The number of options actually

[spice oyster]

I'm pretty sure that's static.

You can make all of them optional and check on execution.

[tame rose]

[spice oyster]

If you want a given option to only show when another one is being selected, it's probably better to register another command.

[rugged lantern]

how u gonna judge others when every single time you try to do something you need someone to hold your hand?

[sinful pivot]

How can I check if a user has a role(and I'm not asking about .has_role(), I need to check it inside of the command callback

[proud mason]

User.roles

returns a list of roles

[wary rover]

Hi there!
Do you know how to open a modal by setting the values when opening from a variable?

Something like this:

EditModal = Modal(title="Title", arg1, arg2, arg3)

[proud mason]

you can then make a list of role ids the user has using list comprehension user_role_ids = [role.id for role in User.roles]

and then if you have the id of the role you want to check, if test_role_id in user_role_ids:

[proud mason]

whats arg1, arg2 and arg3

[wary rover]

strings

[proud mason]

and how do you want them? as the name of the input texts?

[wary rover]

yep

[proud mason]

ah simplee

so what you do is

EditModal = Modal(title="Title", InputText(label=arg1), InputText(label=arg2, ...)

[wary rover]

async def editField(editInteraction, originalInteraction, fieldEditID):
    EditModal = Modal(title="Modal Title")


class Modal(discord.ui.Modal):
    def __init__(self, *args, **kwargs) -> None:
        super().__init__(*args, **kwargs)
        
        self.name = None
        self.value = None
        self.inline = None
        
        self.add_item(discord.ui.InputText(
            label="Title", 
            style=discord.InputTextStyle.short, 
            max_length=2048, required=True, 
            value=None))
        
        self.add_item(discord.ui.InputText(
            label="Value", 
            style=discord.InputTextStyle.long, 
            max_length=2048, 
            required=True, 
            value=None))
        
        self.add_item(discord.ui.InputText(
            label="Inline", 
            style=discord.InputTextStyle.long, 
            max_length=5, 
            required=False, 
            value=None)) 
        
        
    async def callback(self, interaction: discord.Interaction):
        ...

I got that for the moment

What should I change to define the values of the inputsText?

[wary rover]

I should do that

class Modal(discord.ui.Modal):
    def __init__(self, name, value, inline, **kwargs):
        super().__init__(**kwargs)

[spice oyster]

It seems like what you called channel is not a channel.

[proud mason]

Yep that should work

Tias

[wary rover]

If I delete a message after 10 minutes, is there a way to send a message after the automatic deletion?
Or to execute a function?

[cyan quail]

on_message_delete? or wait_for("message_delete")

raw_message_delete may be better for caching reasons

[thorny breach]

How can i get a list of all application commands, Tried using client.application_commands but i want it to include commands from groups too. I looked in the documentation and couldn't find anything else.

[cyan quail]

https://docs.pycord.dev/en/master/api.html#discord.Bot.walk_application_commands

[thorny breach]

Oh thanks!

[wary rover]

I can't find the attribute that tells me who deleted the message. Any clue?

[simple canopy]

wdym

[wary rover]

How do I know who deleted a message?

It's ridiculous but I don't know and I don't find

[simple canopy]

i don't think it's possible, at least with on_message_delete

yeah, it's not possible

you can try looking up audit log to check for last record of someone deleting a message

that way, theoretically, you can do that

https://docs.pycord.dev/en/stable/api.html?highlight=audit#discord.AuditLogEntry

discord.Guild.audit_logs()

[wary rover]

The "delete_after" is not displayed in the logs....

[simple canopy]

if you are using delete_after, then the user who deleted the message is obviously the bot

[wary rover]

I want to start a function when my message is deleted, how do I do that with a "delete_after"?

https://tenor.com/view/mental-health-matters-thinking-stare-gif-16078202

[simple canopy]

well... i'm pretty sure you can use wait_for

as Nelo said

https://github.com/Pycord-Development/pycord/blob/master/examples/wait_for_event.py

just use message_delete instead of message

[wild socket]

i am oddly getting this error

[wary rover]

i will try

[wild socket]

everytime i start the bot

[simple canopy]

you can't place unrequired options before required ones

[wild socket]

i think i understood the error, but apparently its not pointing me to anywere where i might have made the mistake.

class WitchlyBot(commands.Bot):
    def __init__(self):
        super().__init__(command_prefix = "!", intents = discord.Intents.all(), help_command = None)
``` i thought this to be problematic

but apparently its not

[simple canopy]

check your commands

[wild socket]

commands are not slash, they are normal, and commands does not raise any error upon startup of the bot. they raise errors when used

[simple canopy]

but the error triggers on sync_commands

may be you have some that you forgot about

[wary rover]

The "wait_for" will have been the solution

@cyan quail @simple canopy
Thank you for the time you gave me! 🙂

[vapid pumice]

Does anyone have a Dockerfile on hand that I can review? I'm struggling to build my first image.

currently:

FROM python:3.10-alpine

ADD main.py .

COPY requirements.txt requirements.txt
RUN pip3 install -r requirements.txt

COPY . .

CMD [“python3”, “./main.py”] 

[simple canopy]

https://github.com/TheGiga/T84/blob/master/Dockerfile

i have something like this, it worked last time

[vapid pumice]

I'm just so confused because it will not let me build the image with
docker build -t my-bot .

[round rivet]

is there an error

[vapid pumice]

failed to solve with frontend dockerfile.v0: failed to read dockerfile: open /var/lib/docker/tmp/buildkit-mount1079146588/Dockerfile: no such file or directory

I just am really lost in what I'm doing here tbh. This is very different than the sort of hosting I'm accustomed to :/

[round rivet]

You need to set a WORKDIR

I believe

[vapid pumice]

Would that be the relative location of my main.py?

so like KOTA\kidsoftheapocalypse\main.py

[round rivet]

it's the directory you want everything to run in
