Basic Pycord Help (Quick Questions Only)

[normal tusk]

but if it was followed up so i not sure about that because i also have some issues here

[full basin]

What is that supposed to mean?

Literally providing two lines of your code is not helpful

[normal tusk]

i'm trying to explain but ehh

[full basin]

You didn't explain anything

[normal tusk]

😭

[normal tusk]

so that's why you are available to explain :-)

[full basin]

What

You make no sense

I have no idea what your issue is because you didn't explain and you just provided two lines of code.

[fervent cradle]

message = await ctx.respond(embed=leaderboard_embed)
message = message.original_response()

AttributeError: 'Interaction' object has no attribute 'original_response'

the docs say otherwise?

[full basin]

We're humans, not mind readers.

[full basin]

ctx.interaction.original_response()

[fervent cradle]

oh

awesome, thanks

[normal tusk]

ahm, i thought you talking about other thing.. however i was thinking why the IDE have some issues with displaying syntax

the interaction.followup.send() should to return an WebhookMessage but i have no idea how to delete that message (also wondering about adding delete_after to the parameters of followup.send) (edited... nvm)

[fervent cradle]

message = await ctx.respond(embed=leaderboard_embed)
message = ctx.interaction.original_response()

AttributeError: 'Interaction' object has no attribute 'original_response'```

bruh what

[full basin]

What's your pycord version

[fervent cradle]

lemme check

2.4.1

[young bone]

can you show the pip list?
use this command to get the file with the list
pip list > pip.txt

[fervent cradle]

it uh, literally just leaves a blank line LOL

[young bone]

oof

[normal tusk]

cd the desktop then do the command you'll see a new txt file called pip upload it here

[fervent cradle]

yep, darsh was right that is what i needed to do

[young bone]

Do you use an venv?

[normal tusk]

can you try master branch

[fervent cradle]

how do i check?

[normal tusk]

if there is a dir on the root called venv

[young bone]

env or venv

[normal tusk]

i think venv (see for one of them)

[young bone]

Doesnt really matter the name because you can give it a random name but many usw env or venv

[fervent cradle]

yeah but wheres like the dir actually located so i can look for it?

[young bone]

Which IDE do you use?

[fervent cradle]

pycharm

[normal tusk]

delete the venv and work without it with the master branch

[young bone]

Open a Terminal at pycharm and try it there

[normal tusk]

did you used the pkg manger that's on pycharm... right

[fervent cradle]

try what?

[fervent cradle]

yeah i should have been, i dont recall switching ever

[young bone]

I would always use an env

[normal tusk]

nope use pip because it's updated with site pkg's

however to upgrade the venv run the command pip install -U py-cord (make sure you in root folder of the project)

[fervent cradle]

C:\Users\Acer\Desktop\Discord Bot\Casitas Gambling> i guess thatd be my root folder yeah>

[normal tusk]

great cd there (or use pycharm project terminal) and run the command

[fervent cradle]

done!

anythin else i should do?

[normal tusk]

huh.. pycord are up-to-date like this

can you try and see ?

[young bone]

Github link

[normal tusk]

master?

kindly unstable

[long torrent]

hey does anyone know why when i try and get a members status is reports offline instead of online, it reports me as being offline when im really not

im doing if member.status == discord.Status.online or member.is_on_mobile():
to check if im online btw, the bot has all

[silver moat]

how are you getting the member object?

[long torrent]

for member in ctx.guild.members:
its able to print the names just fine so im not sure if im doing something wrong

[proud mason]

Do you have presences Intent enabled in code as well as the dev portal?

[long torrent]

Yes

[proud mason]

Hmm

Could you show the intents and how you pass then to the bot

[long torrent]

https://void.lunascape.gay/t2Dk1w
https://void.lunascape.gay/npfnj9

disabling and re-enabling the intent worked for some reason lmao

¯_(ツ)_/¯

[proud mason]

Huh lmao

[fervent cradle]

hii

is it possible to put a number selector in a modal?

it seems like its not but i wanna double check

[proud mason]

nope. cant

modals can only accept input as strings

[cerulean stump]

has anyone had a similar problem? on linux the git package installs as UNKNOWN, i updated pip/setuptools and cleaned pip cache but i still have this while trying to install master

[cyan quail]

try upgrading setuptools pip install setuptools -U

[cerulean stump]

i done this but still the same

thats why i asked

[cyan quail]

hm

[cerulean stump]

lemme check versions

[cyan quail]

does it actually install to a folder called UNKNOWN

could also try complete uninstall, idk upgrading setuptools is meant to be the only fix

[cerulean stump]

yep

Python 3.10.6
pip 22.0.2
setuptools 67.8.0
UNKNOWN                2.4.1.dev106+g8950c2ee

so idk

ill clear all the cache and see if it does anything

still

[cyan quail]

maybe just rename the folder to discord? or did it not actually install the lib files

the issue is beyond me so if it isn't working you may be better off manually downloading and extracting it

[cerulean stump]

modules would have been unrecognized then anyway

ill take a look in my spare time

[celest grove]

Every time I want to change values inside the view via

interaction.response.edit_message(view=self)

the values set by the user gets reset. Is it possible to only edit separate slots in the view and retain the values from other slots?

[candid coral]

What do you mean?

[celest grove]

Every time I update the message using the command above, all the Select dropdowns reset in a way that the user's selection is discarded

I'd like to avoid that, if even possible

[proud mason]

i think that would still reset the selected choices. not sure tho

[celest grove]

So, there is no way to retain the values after resetting the view?

[candid coral]

Give a simple example

[celest grove]

I think it would be more appropriate to move this to a separate thread

Give me a sec

https://discord.com/channels/881207955029110855/1110652332632461342

[worldly schooner]

sometimes when I spam a slash command there is a little processing but the interaction fails and in the console its prompted this:

is there a way to avoid this error while spamming a slash command?

[young bone]

do you defer the slash command?

[worldly schooner]

at the start of the command yes

do I have to defer it before the ctx.respond?

[young bone]

you could already send a respond and then do the other stuff

[worldly schooner]

hmm, like respond with a embed: "loading..." and after that I edit the embed to the new embed?

cuz its a gambling command

so I calculate stuff before sending the original response

[cyan quail]

only if your code will take longer than 3 seconds to run

[fervent cradle]

What causes interaction failed?

The trace backs always says unknown interaction

I’ve noticed this happening with my bots and large bots like dyno

Seems like some weird discord bug with interactions , anyone else experience?

[normal tusk]

that's mean your code attempted to respond to an interaction that has been timeouted

[fervent cradle]

Can you increase the timeout?

[normal tusk]

you can do that but also you need to check you net ping

then set up a debugger if your interaction function needs that

or see wut you can optimize to get rid of that 3 seconds

[fervent cradle]

I can’t really optimize it

The api calls that are made are slow

[normal tusk]

so you defer the interaction

this should add about the 12 hours time to respond to that interaction

[normal tusk]

see discord api status on your country if there is any issues

[full basin]

Defer the interaction

[normal tusk]

my avg ping is 200 and in my mind it's normal to see something like this on the terminal (our servers kindly died)

[full basin]

If your code takes longer than 3 seconds to process, you have to defer

[normal tusk]

^

[fervent cradle]

How does deferring work?

[normal tusk]

defer is some sort of a message that you just use to respond the the incoming interaction, then you can use a follow-up to get rid of the defer and replace it with the follow-up message

[fervent cradle]

Oh that’s smart

What if I need an ephemeral response

[normal tusk]

then you need to pass the parameter ephemeral on the defer method to be true

default are false

[fervent cradle]

Oh defer is an actual method

I thought you meant just use a Ctx send

.rtfm defer

Thank you

[normal tusk]

that second one which's you use

however, you must put in mind that if the defer is ephemeral you will need to make the respond message also ephemeral

why?, idk all of my attempts and test's leads to that point

[fervent cradle]

I currently have the bot running in Germany

Do you think performance would be better on an American server

[silver moat]

depends, the discord api servers are in virginia. If you use a server on the us west coast, the ping is about the same.

[fervent cradle]

i get 110 ms

so the issue is probably my code not the latency

[normal tusk]

how that when you defer the interaction?

is the interaction begin deferred?

[silver moat]

are you using replit and/or their database

[normal tusk]

maybe that

if it try kill 1

[silver moat]

no replit is just inconsitent in general

and it is sync

[fervent cradle]

no

hetzner

[fervent cradle]

nah i havent tried deferring it yet, i meant without it

[normal tusk]

defer the interaction Please

[mossy holly]

Hey guys I have a quick question (more about Python actually but I'm confused af lmao)

I have something like this in my code:

# Let's say this is a dict that contains lists of int
my_dict = dict()

# Adding values to the dict
my_dict["Foo"] = [1, 2, 3]
my_dict["Bar"] = [4, 5, 6]
my_dict["Baz"] = [-1, -2, -3]

# self.foo, self.bar and self.baz are empty lists
all_infos = [self.foo, self.bar, self.baz]
str_corresp = ["Foo", "Bar", "Baz"]

for info, str_c in zip(all_infos, str_corresp):
  for el in my_dict[str_c]:
    info.append(el)

print(self.foo)    # Prints [] (foo is empty)

What am I doing wrong here ? Maybe I'm seeing stuff to much like C, but by doing info.append(el) in the first iteration for example, it's supposed to modify self.foo as it's the same thing or am I wrong ?
Thanks if someone can help 😄

[young bone]

Is that for school?

[mossy holly]

Nope for a discord bot

But i just realized that this example I just made up is working lmao

I'll test another thing and send the real code if it doesn't work

Ok nvm I'm just so stupid

I used the wrong sql requests from my constants so obviously no results and so lists are empty ...

[fervent cradle]

@bot.slash_command(guild_ids=[GUILD_ID])
async def upload_subtitles(
    ctx,
    media_url: discord.Option(discord.SlashCommandOptionType.string),
    subtitle_file: discord.Option(discord.SlashCommandOptionType.attachment),
):
    pattern = r"metadata%2F(\d+)&context"
    match = re.search(pattern, media_url)
    if not match:
        await ctx.respond(
            "Invalid media URL, please copy the url on the media page.",
            ephemeral=True,
        )
        return
    media_id = match.group(1)
    media = plex.fetchItem(int(media_id))
    print(media)
    await subtitle_file.save(f"subtitles/{subtitle_file.filename}")
    subtitle_path = f"subtitles/{subtitle_file.filename}"
    subtitle = media.uploadSubtitles(subtitle_path)
    return await ctx.respond(f"Uploaded subtitle {subtitle_file}.")```

is this incorrect attachment handling? the file isnt saved

[young bone]

discord.Attachment

[normal tusk]

the error was saying that is the file is not found so you can check if you are in correct folder that has the file that you trying to open with open module

[fervent cradle]

but thats the save() function

await subtitle_file.save(f"./subtitles/{subtitle_file.filename}")

this isnt working

[normal tusk]

i seen a error you was sent before idk if it's related or not

so save isnt working

[cyan quail]

that isn't a lib issue, chances are you can't save to that location or the filename isn't allowed

(open is a default python function)

[cerulean stump]

fyi i had specific configurations defined under python and just in them a forced pip update helped

i didnt look directly from pip install git+... but installed cloned repo already as pip install -e .

i just checked and git+... also fixed

[candid coral]

I need to delete a bot message that was sent on past runs and get_message(id) doesn't work. How can I use fetch_message?

[young bone]

[coarse cargo]

fetch_message is under channel

[cerulean stump]

get_message works if message is in cache, if by past runs you mean running a command/function without message in Bot cache you can store it in a Class/global variable and then delete it

When it comes to running a bot you can use disk storage to save channel/message id and then use it like:

channel = client.get_channel(channel_id)
# then without doing an unnecessary API call
await channel.get_partial_message(message_id).delete()

Hi does anyone here know if it is possible to recreate the /giphy or /tenor command for an own gif selector? I would be most interested in how they managed to put the gif preview as options.

[silver moat]

discord limitation. The standard commands are only availible for Discord themselves to use.

[candid coral]

Is there any way to check if there is a particular message that is not in the bot's cache? .get_partial_message(id) send an error if there is no message. Should I use try-expect-finally?

[silver moat]

You should use https://docs.pycord.dev/en/stable/api/clients.html#discord.Bot.get_message and check if it is None

error handling is rather expensive speed and memory wise

[candid coral]

get_message(id) will return None if the message is not in the cache, no?

[silver moat]

yes

[candid coral]

But I need to get rid of the error... A message most often won't be in the bot's cache

[silver moat]

I misunderstood your question. Then you are free to use a try-except clause

[candid coral]

Does it waste a lot of memory?

[silver moat]

just shouldn't be too much.

like it isn't something you should be worry about unless it is failing very often

[candid coral]

Command will rarely be used. Thank you

[proud mason]

NGL, this is python

Those optimisations would be so minor, that i can actually compare it to adding a bucket of water to the ocean

[silver moat]

it's not an optimisation if it is a convention

[proud mason]

True

[livid wolf]

ctx.respond() image attribute?

[candid coral]

It has all attributes like ctx.send() and ephemeral if I'm not wrong

[livid wolf]

Wait, nvm

figured it out

What in the world is ephemeral

[candid coral]

The message will only be visible to the person who used a command

[livid wolf]

Ooh ok

[candid coral]

Like this

[livid wolf]

Ii get it, thanks.

Why does it print an error to the console when using try-expect?

[young bone]

you cannot use ctx.send with ephemeral

That only works with Interactions

[candid coral]

That's why I took it apart

"All attributes like ctx.send() and ephemeral"

[full basin]

Guide shows how to handle a subcommand not found. But it actually errors saying its missing the ctx argument? https://dark.needs-a-hug.co/i/uBmW9s.png

[cyan quail]

might be a side effect of invoke_without_command but not sure

[normal tusk]

wut is invoke without command either.. :>

[cyan quail]

using subcommands without the group

e.g. !group subcommand could also be done as just !subcommand

[normal tusk]

uh, thx :>

[gleaming falcon]

Sanity check just to make sure it's not something I'm doing wrong - once a scheduled event ends, are you ever able to retrieve the details?

I believe so to some extent

Idk too much about them though so maybe just prod around with them and see what works

What free hosting is currently the best option for a small bot (python ofc)?

I wouldn't recommend free hosting, none of them are good really

[spring hare]

How to catch this type of errors?
discord.errors.Forbidden: 403 Forbidden (error code: 50013): Missing Permissions
on_command_error doesn't work for some reason

[young bone]

For what?

[spring hare]

Send an error message in guild's logs channel

[young bone]

for a command?

[spring hare]

How else does the user know that the bot does not have Permissions?

[spring hare]

No, this occurs in on_member_join event
Bot bans people if they are in a list

[young bone]

you could use try and except

[spring hare]

This inherits from CheckFailure
```?

[young bone]

at the end you can still use on_error()

[spring hare]

Fair enough

Thank you

Okay, this still doesn't work

BotMissingPermissions and Forbidden don't work

[normal tusk]

try except

[spring hare]

Do I need to "try except" my entire code?

[normal tusk]

hm, sounds good, use discord.errors.Forbidden

jk but i have no idea about your code tbh

[spring hare]

@Cog.listener()
async def on_command_error(self, ctx, error):
  if isinstance(error, BotMissingPermissions):
    print(1)
  elif isinstance(error, Forbidden):
    print(2)

[normal tusk]

so this is should to work.. ||maybe not||

[young bone]

that is for prefix commands

[normal tusk]

wait is it on_command_error or on_application_command_error?

[spring hare]

on_command_error

[normal tusk]

:|

[spring hare]

@bot.event
async def on_error(self, event):
  print(event)```
don't work either

[young bone]

That one is for slash commands

[normal tusk]

what is your bot class did you use ?

[spring hare]

Are 403 errors raised differently?

[spring hare]

wdym?

discord.ext.commands.Bot?

[normal tusk]

ye

i mean that code block must work..

[spring hare]

I can't catch 403 errors in on_error so... They probably ignore it?

[normal tusk]

on_command_error event is not being triggered like that :/

[young bone]

try:
  123
except Exception as e:
  if e == "":
    123

at the end you could do something like this

I dont really know the event to get the other stuff

[normal tusk]

can you see if the event begin triggered or not by printing the error without checking

[spring hare]

I already tried that

[normal tusk]

what a result

[spring hare]

Oof Nasty

[spring hare]

Nothing
They just ignore everything

[cyan quail]

the solution you're attempting is rather odd

[normal tusk]

gruh the event didn't even triggered ;-;

[cyan quail]

either:

• check if you have permissions before sending the message
• try-except only the channel.send

[spring hare]

I get this error when I try to kick someone

or ban

[cyan quail]

then you don't have permissions to

verifying you do is easy enough

[normal tusk]

the issue that is the event ignore the exception

[cyan quail]

because events can't trigger the command handlers, and on_error isn't something you normally use

[spring hare]

I just wanted to be sure, that I couldn't catch this stupid error in on_error

[normal tusk]

just try except that, i do that on every single cog

[spring hare]

Why I can't catch them in on_error? Wtf?

[cyan quail]

on_error isn't a real event

it's an attribute for commands

well... overriding Client.on_error specifically would work, but you should make sure to process stuff properly as that recieves more than just listener errors

[spring hare]

Okay, thank you.
It's a shame it's so hard

[spring hare]

Overriding doesn't work either

    async def on_error(self, event_method: str, *args: Any, **kwargs: Any) -> None:
        print(event_method, args, kwargs)

discord.errors.Forbidden: 403 Forbidden (error code: 50013): Missing Permissions

How do you defer an interaction?

[worldly schooner]

is there a way to reset the cooldown of the command if something goes wrong with the command? (like a trade command that didnt work, so reset the cooldown and they can try to trade again immediately)

[spring hare]

command.reset_cooldown()?

[worldly schooner]

I will check how this works

thanks

[candid coral]

What are data leaks and how do they appear? I've been completely confused

[spring hare]

What type of data leaks?

Like https://haveibeenpwned.com ?

[candid coral]

Formed in code

[worldly schooner]

Is there a way to reset only for that user in question? Not for everyone

Imagining the scenario:
Cooldown for the command = 1 min
View timeout = 10 secs
1 - I make the trade command
2 - The other person dont answer the trade request and the view gets timeouted
3 - Reset the cooldown for this user so he can trade with another person

is this possible or not?

[spring hare]

reset_cooldown resets for all users?

[spring hare]

wdym? You can't have data leaks in your code

[worldly schooner]

Thats what I believe it does

They scare me that there may be data leaks from my databases, but that's not what they mean

[spring hare]

To not create data leaks in your discord bot, you need to validate that you don't expose your internal info (for example send your args on error), don't have SQLInjection, don't use eval or compile and don't do some crazy stuff with low levels of pycord

I can write you some examples if you really want to

[candid coral]

If it isn't difficult for you

[spring hare]

Okay, so
Don't expose your internal data:

IP of your host (where your bot is located)
It is advisable not to use the same host for your website and your bot
Don't write your Exception info to user like that (screenshot 1)
SQLInjections:
It is advisable to use orm (SQLAlchemy, peewee or stuff like that), they can really help you in the future
If you still use plain SQL, just don't use f-strings or any other formatting. Validate your input if you really need to "inject" it

+ execute("SELECT user FROM guild_config WHERE id = ?", [guild_id])
- execute(f"SELECT user FROM guild_config WHERE id = {guild_id}")

Eval or compile:

Just don't use eval or compile, especially code from untrusted sources (e.g user)
You can basically execute any code at a runtime (for example import sys;sys.exit(0)
Don't use low levels of your libraries if you don't understand what you are doing. Most likely there is a simple way

And yeah, don't be too afraid
It's really difficult to duck up something nowadays (you will most likely get warning from your ide or your library)
Just know what you are doing and you are good to go

[candid coral]

It doesn't sound as difficult as I thought. Thank you very much 😊

[spring hare]

Yeah, good luck
High-level programming is really easy, but you can achieve pretty much anything with it.
Stick with one technology/library/language, don't be afraid of mistakes (it's part of programming) and just go with your journey

[vapid pumice]

ohh okie that's helpful too. thx <3

[cyan quail]

since this is specifically happening in a View and not the command, it won't be caught by the error handlers

[spring hare]

on_member_join don't work either?

[cyan quail]

well yeah, listeners/events aren't commands

so either try/except kick or check permissions

maybe we could have listener and view error handlers but it'd require some effort

[spring hare]

[spring hare]

Is there handlers for any errors?

[cyan quail]

i mean if you really want you could just create your own event or functions to handle it

[spring hare]

Yeah, that's what I'm trying with

def printer(func):

    @wraps(func)
    async def wrapped(*args, **kwargs):
        try:
            return await func(*args, **kwargs)
        except Forbidden as e:
            print(e.code)
            print(dir(args[1]))
            pprint(args[1].guild_id)

    return wrapped


HTTPClient.request = printer(HTTPClient.request)

[cyan quail]

on_command_error (and its app counterpart) exist so yeah

[spring hare]

But... on_command_error can't catch Forbidden from the View

[cyan quail]

because the view isn't a command

maybe you made it in the command, but the view callback is a separate instance entirely

[spring hare]

Is there handlers for any type of errors and even Views?

[cyan quail]

no

[spring hare]

sad

[cyan quail]

idk why you're so against try-except

or literally just checking if the bot has proper perms

[versed fern]

Unnecessary nesting...

[cyan quail]

unnecessary how? do we need to make a lib function for every single edge case?

try-except is perfectly normal

[versed fern]

Imo listening for error is cleaner

[cyan quail]

shorter code doesn't make it better

[spring hare]

Consistency
I don't need to think about permissions and errors when I'm writing code
If errors occurs, the bot will just respond with appropriate message

[cyan quail]

of course you need to think about permissions when you're using the discord api

they're integral to the platform

[mossy holly]

Hey guys, quick question:

I have this piece of code in buttons of one of my menus

await interaction.response.edit_message(file=my_file)

And somewhere else I want to modify the message again (I want to display an Embed and to remove the file)
I tried to do this

await interaction.response.edit_message(file=None, embed=my_emb)
# Doesn't work as file can't be None so I tried this as it's the default parameter
await interaction.response.edit_message(file=discord.MISSING)
# Still doesn't work, the file is still displayed when my embed appears

So does someone know how to delete a file from a message when editing it ?
Thanks 😄
(I also tried to set attachments to MISSING but doesn't work also)

[versed fern]

You're not gonna be able to do that, even using listeners

[spring hare]

I don't need to think about edge cases and what errors can occur if something stupid happens
"Oh, will it work if user deletes the message"
"Oh, where do I need to respond if bot doesn't have permissions"

[cyan quail]

you literally have to think about those

just pretending those issues don't exist won't help you

even in your other error handler you still have to isinstance the error to check for every type before responding

[versed fern]

You could create an event, catch the most common errors and send all the others to a webhook, allowing you to catch them once you found out the exist tho that's in no way gonna result in great user experience

[cyan quail]

attachments=[] should work

[mossy holly]

Oh yes it works, thanks a lot !

[spring hare]

I actually do that
I'm not complaining about library rn
I'm just trying to understand is there on_view_error in the first place
I will just write my custom wrapper for HTTPClient.request and will just handle them like in on_command_error, I'm just asking is that good, or there is a better solution?

[cyan quail]

oh wait

views... listeners are different, oops

my bad, if you subclass a view you can define on_error https://docs.pycord.dev/en/master/api/ui_kit.html#discord.ui.View.on_error

(that being said they were sitting in the docs the entire time)

[spring hare]

💀

[spring hare]

Wait, can i do the same with listeners?

Why there are multiple on_errors?

[cyan quail]

because having an on_error for every single exception across the entire bot at once isn't viable

[spring hare]

fair enough

[cyan quail]

i don't think any library does this, they simply try/except in specific areas of interest

that being said, on_error is designed to run for listeners/events so idk why it isn't working for you

[spring hare]

I will probably still stick to this approach
It looks uhm... A little bit nasty, but will probably help me

[spring hare]

I will try it right now

I had problems only with Views

[vapid pumice]

Skill issue here:

If I want to say, learn what all of the options are for interaction.followup, how would I search for that info? I've checked the Docs ofc, but I'm struggling to find the answers I'm looking for.

Hey guys just wondering how you are stopping your bots ?

This might look stupid lmao but I have a managing script (to automatically launch nohup and handle logs, save pid etc) and I use the pid to kill it (I tried to just kill pid but the process still show up in ps even if the bot is offline)

So I tried to make a clean killing by using SIGUSR1 but same issue :/

On the screenshot you can see after 1 launch, 1 stop, 1 launch and 1 stop both process are still here (maybe zombies process ?)

Here's my launch script

#!/bin/bash

# Programme de gestion du bot (lancement, arrêt, etc.)

day=$(date +"%F")
timestamp=$(date +"%H_%M_%S")



if [ "$#" -lt "1" ]; then
    echo "Utilisation: $0 [start|stop|restart]"
    exit 1;
fi

if [ $1 = "start" ]; then
    # Création du dossier du jour s'il n'existe pas encore
    # (jour du lancement du bot)
    mkdir -p logs/$day

    echo Lancement du bot...
    nohup python3 -u argobot/main.py &> "logs/$day/nohup_$timestamp.out" &
    echo $! > pid

    # Pour accéder facilement au log courant
    rm logs/current.log > /tmp/trash
    ln -s $day/nohup_$timestamp.out logs/current.log
fi


if [ $1 = "stop" ]; then
    # Signal 10 is SIGUSR1
    kill -s 10 $(cat pid)
    echo "Bot hors ligne"
fi

And here's the "custom" stop I've implemented:

main.py

def quit_bot(sig, _):
    # No cleaning to do for now
    print("Arrêt du bot")
    exit(0)
    # Would like to use bot.close() here but it's a corountine so I'm looking into it


if __name__ == "__main__":
    # ...
    signal.signal(signal.SIGUSR1, quit_bot)

Maybe I'm missing something obvious, sorry if that's the case

(I also tried this for the signal handler)

def quit_bot(sig, _):
    print("Arrêt du bot")
    loop = asyncio.get_running_loop()
    loop.create_task(bot.close())
    exit(0)

[mossy holly]

I use this but I don't know if there's a better solution (this doesn't look like the right way lmao)

    # To trigger the bot.close()
    kill -s 10 $(cat pid)
    echo "Bot hors ligne"
    
    # To remove all remains of the process
    while ps | grep $(cat pid);
    do 
        kill $(cat pid)
    done

[cyan quail]

how about bot.http.logout()?

[mossy holly]

Nope doesn't work too, but I think it might come from nohup because the bot is getting deconnected properly so idk what's going on

I am sure I am missing something, but how can I lock a slash command to a specific role?

in my old discord.py implementation (pre slash commands) I had used

async def add_queue(self, ctx: commands.Context, *, args: str):

I dont see a has_any_role in pycord

listings = discord.SlashCommandGroup("listing", "Listing related commands")
@listings.command()
async def add(ctx, itemname: str, buyprice: int, itemamount: int):

If you use the desktop version try to reload the window with ctrl + r @agile minnow

Checklist for Application Commands Not Showing Up:
• Does your bot have the application.commands scope?
• Are you loading cogs before on_ready and on_connect?
• Is on_connect not overridden?
• Did you update to the newest version of py-cord (tag: install)?
• Is User Settings > Accessibility > Chat Input > Use legacy chat input turned off?
• Did you share your code and errors?
• Do you still have libraries that conflict with the discord namespace (e.g. discord.py)?

what is it then

And you can't raided by just showing your guild id lmao

[stiff crest]

yeah i am just curious

but what is it then

You use on_message and check the message type

how do you do that

By reading the documentation

[normal tusk]

how to restart a bot from the client side with a command or interaction (ext reload broken)

[proud mason]

.debug

[winter condor]

Please don't post code like this and ask "what's wrong?"

@bot.event
async def on_message(message):
    if x == y:
        ...
        if a == b:
            ...

It can be difficult for us to determine this by just looking at the code, especially as it gets more complex. Are you even getting into this code? What are those values? It's very helpful for you to do some debugging first. Add some print statements to narrow down the problem. Or use your code editor's debugger if it has one.

1. Are you even executing the code you think is the problem?
2. Are you getting all the way through it? Maybe you're hitting an error you don't see. See .tag noerror for reasons why you wouldn't see a thrown error.
3. Are the values you're comparing what you expect them to be? Maybe you're forking your code and not executing things because of if statements that don't behave like you assume they do.

Save us and yourself some time by doing some debugging ahead of time. It's much easier to have a discussion around a specific line of code not working as expected than trying to trace through logic (especially if it references variables passed in/out of scope).

[proud mason]

Not a direct way to do it

You could use a process manager like PM2 and use os.system to send a restart cmd

That would be simple and easy

[stiff crest]

i use it in a hosting service

[normal tusk]

i tried os.execv(sys.executable, ['python'] + sys.argv)

but the issue is the bot ye begin killed and restarted but the old websocket connection doesn't die with the process

[proud mason]

Yea that's right. You could just call await bot.close and then run that cmd

But i would recommend the pm2 solution

[normal tusk]

bot.close will kill the process as my known (will kill the process before the os line execute)

and if the os line executed the close will not run

[normal tusk]

i'll see that

i have no idea about wth is this but i think it will work lol

[young bone]

The only good way to restart your bot is to shut it down and have your process manager handle it. You can shutdown your bot by running Bot.close().

Do use:

• run your bot in a process manager such as:
  • systemd
  • openrc (gentoo, devuan)
  • runit (void linux)
  • supervisord
  • upstart (old ubuntu)
  • docker
• manually reboot it

Do not use:

• a bash loop (it can eat your C-c by rapidly spawning python and if your bot fails it won't stop it from constantly failing)
• subprocess.call (you will eat your memory up by not letting your old processes die)
• os.exec*

[normal tusk]

i have an idea

use a subprocess from the main file to run the bot.py then when i wanna control the restart will do it by the control functions on the main local server

lol

[violet silo]

How can I use icons like this in an embed message?

https://s6.uplod.ir/i/01094/bklf1u5gtdw3.jpg

[full basin]

They're just emotes

[violet silo]

emotes?

[silver moat]

yeah, emojis

[violet silo]

But where are those emojis uploaded? They dont seem to be normal discord emojis.
They're kinda customized

[full basin]

They're emotes from a server..

[cyan quail]

basically they upload their custom emojis in a personal server, bots have the nitro perk of being able to use external emojis (perms aside) so they can do this

[violet silo]

Ok I got it

Thanks guys

[weak violet]

Sup, im making simple log with on_application_command_completion, but i have commands that needs to mention a user like /add @user is there a way to get the mention user or the parameters used in the command?

@bot.event
async def on_application_command_completion(ctx):
    command = ctx.command.name
    log_message:str = f"[{datetime.datetime.now()}] Comando: {command} | Usuario: {ctx.author} ({ctx.author.id})"
    with open('command_logs.txt', 'a+') as log_file:
        log_file.write(log_message + '\n')
    print(log_message)```

[young bone]

Are you sure that is an event?

[silver moat]

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

[silver moat]

yes

[young bone]

Oh ok

[weak violet]

love you

been reading the doc with a friend and we didnt saw that

[smoky flax]

does typing.Optional work in bridge commands?
e.g.

@bridge_command()
@option("amount", int)
@option("user", discord.Member)
@option("contains", str)
async def clear(self, ctx, amount: int, user: typing.Optional[discord.Member], contains: str):
    ...

[spring hare]

.tias ?

[winter condor]

[spring hare]

Maybe a strange question, but why Interaction has guild and guild_id if you can just use guild.id?

[smoky flax]

eh, doesnt work

[spring hare]

sad

[smoky flax]

then ig i need to hardcode my command

[spring hare]

?

[smoky flax]

doesnt work with typing.Optional either

[spring hare]

sad

[young bone]

typing.Union

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

[smoky flax]

oh ok

[proud mason]

guild_id will always be there, even if you have the intents turned off

[spring hare]

oooh, okay, thank you

[tropic prairie]

how can i send a private message in pycord in channel, i mean the message that says "Only You can see the message"

[silver moat]

you can only send them as a response to interaction responses (e.g. button presses, slash command responses)

?tag ephemeral

[obtuse junco]

An 'ephemeral' message is one that's only visible to the person who invoked a command. If you ever got a command error with a blue background, this is an example of one.

To do this, set ephemeral=True when you first use an ApplicationContext. (This includes .defer()ing it; the choice of whether a message is ephemeral or not must be made up front. If you .respond() to a deferred message, setting the ephemeral flag at that time will have no effect.)

This is the equivalent of hidden=True if you're coming from interactions.py

[silver moat]

e.g. await ctx.respond("Hello, World!", ephemeral = True)

[tropic prairie]

Thank you ❤️

[tropic prairie]

btw if i install pycord in a new project now will i get v3?

$start

[silver moat]

no. v3 is currently not stable and still in development

[fervent cradle]

hi i was just wondering when adding a cog should i have the bot.add_cog async? or is bot.add_cog fine

[young bone]

just bot.add_cog

with async would be dpy

[proud mason]

Yeah cogs and extensions loading is not async in pycord

[tropic prairie]

how can i add dynamic fields to @discord.ui.select

[normal tusk]

how about making a function that will make a list of the options then load that options into the view

also i was faced with a similar issue with the dynamic Selects

[tropic prairie]

not a bad idea, the thing is that the decorator is loaded when the program starts, and i need to fetch the options from the context.

[silver moat]

@waxen whale please kick this bot

[tropic prairie]

btw another question if you may answer, i have member intents enables and i don't understand why ctx.guild.member gives me only 2 members

[tropic prairie]

yes

[normal tusk]

ye that one may halp, use external functions to load the options

[spring hare]

Change select.options and edit message view

[tropic prairie]

wdym?

[silver moat]

wait until on_ready is fired.

[tropic prairie]

doing it 😦

[spring hare]

if you use ui.select decorator:

select.options = ...
await interaction.response.edit_message(view=self)

[tropic prairie]

in the class?

[spring hare]

when you want to change your select options, yes

[tropic prairie]

waited for 2 mins and got only 2 members

[silver moat]

do you have the intents enabled both in your code and on the Discord Developer Portal?

[tropic prairie]

What i'm trying to make is a dropdown of all members in the server

yes

[spring hare]

uhm...
ComponentType.users_select

[silver moat]

you don't have enough options and that is already a thing natively

[tropic prairie]

what do you mean?

[silver moat]

you aren't passsing the intents argument into the bot

[spring hare]

ComponentType.users_select

[silver moat]

https://guide.pycord.dev/interactions/ui-components/dropdowns#select-types

[spring hare]

select_type = ComponentType.users_select in your select

you can do also something like that will the members and paging plugin

[silver moat]

@normal tusk @spring hare I get it, we all want to help, but we don't need all of us. Having more people only adds to the confusion.

[tropic prairie]

but it's super nice of you ❤️

[silver moat]

@tropic prairie

Basically, you are only seeing 2 members because you didn't pass the intents kwarg into the bot. (#998272089343668364 message)

If you want to make a select menu with members, the maximum number of options is 25 for a select menu. However, there is a user select menu. (https://guide.pycord.dev/interactions/ui-components/dropdowns#select-types)

[tropic prairie]

now it's working ❤️

[tropic prairie]

user-select menu has no limits? i can see all members there?

[silver moat]

yes, regardless of members intent

[tropic prairie]

and all server members can see it?

Wow it works great! 😄

thank you ❤️

[fervent cradle]

ahhh okay okay

[quiet bridge]

Can you get the user id of the user who interacted with a button? If so I can't seem to find out how

[silver moat]

interaction.user.id

[warm grotto]

Is there a way to convert a discord.Message object to json, similarly like how discord.Embed has the to_json method?

[silver moat]

you can try dict(message). If that doesn't work, you can always make your own function/method

[stiff crest]

@bot.event
async def on_member_presence_update(member, before, after):
    status_role_id = 1111711020923240469 # my role id
    status_text = 'voxelgames'

    has_desired_status = False



    if after.activities:
        for activity in after.activities:
            if isinstance(activity, discord.CustomActivity) and activity.name == status_text:
                has_desired_status = True
                break

    role = member.guild.get_role(status_role_id)

    if has_desired_status:
        await member.add_roles(role)
    else:
        await member.remove_roles(role)

I want to add a role if you have a specific status but it doesnt add the role and i am not getting an error code

[silver moat]

does the event fire?

[stiff crest]

i didn't check

i try run it agian

[quiet bridge]

Hmm I get the error that the Button object has no attribute user

[silver moat]

you switched the interaction and button parameters

[stiff crest]

no event didnt fire :(

ty

[tropic prairie]

if you'd try to build something like this?

Get the user list after I grant access to my channel,
the first one is the user_select

I believe that the second one just gets the users from the private channel's permissions how can i access the allowed users of a channel and make a dropdown like this 😮 ?

[novel yacht]

hello trying mack /ticket open

but i have error

[tropic prairie]

is there anyway to get the channel from interaction?

[young bone]

yes

[young bone]

why do you have two button callbacks?

[novel yacht]

idk

[tropic prairie]

maybe you can answer,
the input_field works but always stays on "somethign went wrong try again" is there any way to close it after pressing the button?

[young bone]

it should autoclose if you press submit but not if you have an error

Can you show the code from the modal?

[tropic prairie]

yes ofcourse one second

[tropic prairie]

 class EditName(Modal):
    def __init__(self) -> None:
        super().__init__(title="Edit Channel Name")
        self.add_item(InputText(label="Edit", placeholder="Edit Channel Name"))

    async def callback(self, interaction: discord.interactions):
        embed = discord.Embed(title=f"New channel name {self.children[0].value}")
        await interaction.channel.edit(name=self.children[0].value)
        await interaction.channel.send(embeds=[embed]) ```

[novel yacht]

what you recommend to change?

[young bone]

you dont respond to the interaction

[tropic prairie]

what should i do?

[young bone]

Respond to the interaction

[tropic prairie]

how 😦

[young bone]

Like a normal button?

Do you know basic python?

[full basin]

Instead of channel.send

[tropic prairie]

Yeah I know basic python, it's like you didn't really explain what you're meaning lmao

[full basin]

You must respond to interactions

response.send_message

[tropic prairie]

yeah i just understood it now, nothing to do with basic python @young bone lmao

it's a pycord thing, thanks @full basin

[full basin]

What's a pycord thing?

All interactions are required to be responded.

Not just in pycord

It's a Discord thing

[tropic prairie]

yeah, to be exact it's a discord thing

but not a python thing.

[young bone]

I know its not a python thing but I still ask people that because we have so many at this server who doesn't know the basics of python

https://guide.pycord.dev/interactions/ui-components/modal-dialogs

@tropic prairie take a look at this ^

[tropic prairie]

I see, thanks mate.

Another question if you may, first of all is there a way to delete ephemeral messages and post new ones instead?

[full basin]

Uh. Kinda

You'd have to send an ephemeral follow up

[tropic prairie]

I sent two in a row and it just made two ephemerals for some reason

[weak violet]

Whats the usage? been trying but just gettin erros

ctx.command.selected_options
ctx.selected_options

?

https://i.imgur.com/xH32Wpc.png

[grizzled sentinel]

It should be ctx.selected_options Because ctx is an instance of ApplicationContext

[novel yacht]

anybody

<_>

[weak violet]

Oh i see, so its like for example ctx.selected_options('user')?

[grizzled sentinel]

If you are subclassing the button you dont need the decorator.

[novel yacht]

?

[tropic prairie]

anyone 😦 how can i delete the ephs

[grizzled sentinel]

No,
ctx.selected_options is a list.
Each item in the list is the response to the argument. So the first argument of a command is the first item in the list. Im not sure how the dict that is in the list is formatted. You will have to experiment with that.

[grizzled sentinel]

You are subclassing button but you also have @discord.ui.button

[grizzled sentinel]

You can get the message with this: https://docs.pycord.dev/en/master/api/models.html#discord.Interaction.original_response

[tropic prairie]

and i can delete it after someone presses something else? 😮

[grizzled sentinel]

Actually there is a shortcut: https://docs.pycord.dev/en/master/api/models.html#discord.Interaction.delete_original_response

[grizzled sentinel]

You would just put that in the callback of the button I think

[normal tusk]

this is official?

[silver moat]

no

[grizzled sentinel]

iirc it was made by someone here but is not official

[weak violet]

Ohh, i see thanks again

[tropic prairie]

first of all thank you ❤️
second, it doesn't work cause it works only if it deletes the latest response and doesn't delete the previous one even if i place it before

if i place it before i get 404 not found cause it's another function

 
class UserSelection(discord.ui.View):
    @discord.ui.user_select()
    async def select_callback(self, select, interaction):
        **        await interaction.delete_original_response()
        await interaction.channel.set_permissions(select.values[0], view_channel=True,
                                                  connect=True, speak=True)
        await interaction.response.send_message("choose who to allowz", view=UserSelection(), ephemeral=True)


class ControlButtons(discord.ui.View):
    @discord.ui.button(label="Private", row=0, style=discord.ButtonStyle.primary)
    async def first_button_callback(self, button, interaction):
        await interaction.channel.set_permissions(interaction.guild.default_role, view_channel=False)
        await interaction.response.send_message("Choose who to allow", view=UserSelection(), ephemeral=True)
        **        await interaction.delete_original_response()

tried putting it in both of this places

[grizzled sentinel]

You could check interaction.response.is_done() to see if it has been responded to. Or you could keep track if you have a message sent by using an instance variable.

[tropic prairie]

where should i put it?

[grizzled sentinel]

interaction.response.is_done() returns a T/F for if the interaction has been responded to before. So an if statments before the delete would work

[tropic prairie]

one last question for today,
how could i make @dicord.ui_select select menu which returns let's say the channel members with speak permission i tried almost everything.

And thank you for your help ❤️

[grizzled sentinel]

What part do you need help with the permission part or the adding members to the select menu?

or both

[tropic prairie]

kindof both, i know how to retrieve the members with speak permissions i don't know how to add them to the select menu

[cyan quail]

user_select will always display every member

you can't limit it to certain members

[grizzled sentinel]

Otherwise it can only be strings.

[cyan quail]

what you could do is manually set it up with a regular select menu

[tropic prairie]

it's ok if it'll be strings i'll map them to user ids

[cyan quail]

just set the name to their username/tag and the value to their ID, then you can use the IDs to get their member objects

[grizzled sentinel]

You could get all the usernames. store them in a dict with the user objects and just add all the options

[tropic prairie]

I'm having trouble doign so.

I want to add it to this view:

class UserSelection(discord.ui.View):
    @discord.ui.user_select()
    async def select_callback(self, select, interaction):
        await interaction.channel.set_permissions(select.values[0], view_channel=True,
                                                  connect=True, speak=True)

        await interaction.response.send_message("choose who to allowz", view=UserSelection(), ephemeral=True)

to have a select menu of "choose who to remove" and show all the users with permissions to this channel

permissions to speak

[full basin]

channel.members returns a list of users able to see that channel

You can make your own select based on that

[grizzled sentinel]

It might be easiest to subclass the select. Than you can create the list of users in the __init__

[tropic prairie]

what's the limit?

[young bone]

25

[cyan quail]

regular selects have the 25 option limit

[tropic prairie]

how can i get more than 25?

[cyan quail]

u dont

[young bone]

Discord limit

[tropic prairie]

oh

but can i type usernames and it'll find them?

[young bone]

I would use the id and not the name

[silver moat]

send multiple of them

[cyan quail]

mmm nope, don't have an autocomplete select

[grizzled sentinel]

Im not sure the entire situation. But a command with autocomplete sounds like it would fit this specific situation well.

[cyan quail]

you can send 5 selects per message which would technically give you 125

but yeah command autocomplete seems easier

[tropic prairie]

Oh i see

can i make an auto complete that completes user names in input_text modal?

[grizzled sentinel]

sadly no. Only as a command argument

[tropic prairie]

sht i see :O, and how can i make a select menu to just show the users who have permissions to the channel

[grizzled sentinel]

Discords UI features are great until you hit a somewhat specific usecase than it feels like you have to get around things in weird ways.

[cyan quail]

again, you'd have to create it manually within the 25 option limit

[grizzled sentinel]

discord.ui.Select takes an options=list_of_options argument

[tropic prairie]

how can i iterate through the users? i mean how can i know it doesn't return the same users as previously?

in user_select

[young bone]

create a custom select

[grizzled sentinel]

how can i know it doesn't return the same users as previously?
what do you mean by this?

[tropic prairie]

i mean i thought about adding paging buttons

[grizzled sentinel]

Do you know how subclassing works?

[tropic prairie]

yeah ofc

[grizzled sentinel]

So you could create a big list and just slice it per page
IE
0:25 25:50 50:75

[tropic prairie]

can i get all members in one list? no limit to guild.members?

[grizzled sentinel]

Do you need to get all members with the permission or only members in a channel with the permission?

[tropic prairie]

i need two select menus, one for the members in a channel with the permission and a list of all server members

[grizzled sentinel]

So if you just need all members with no filter. Just a basic user_select will work.
But for the one with just the ones with permissions (filtered) you need your custom select described above.

[tropic prairie]

there's no limit on user_select? (the one for all server members)

[young bone]

all select have a limit of 25?

[grizzled sentinel]

No. That is the one that when you start typing it will show you different options. The only downside is that It can only show ALL guild members. It is a special case discord made

[cyan quail]

no

because user/channel/role is generated by discord, there's no limit

regular selects have options generated by you, so the 25 limit applies

[tropic prairie]

I see and can i add the custom select menu to the same message of the user_select?

[grizzled sentinel]

Yup!

[tropic prairie]

is there anyway to find the previous interaction i mean from another entity like a button or something and delete it? because it seems like it's done after "send_message"

[tropic prairie]

in the same view*

[grizzled sentinel]

In the callback you can save the original response object as a instance varible and access it in the rest of the callbacks.

instance varible of the view*

[tropic prairie]

if there are from different views?

[grizzled sentinel]

Technically still yes, you would have to store it outside of the view class. In a list or something.

[weak violet]

if i disable a button how i can use another interaction.response?

[grizzled sentinel]

.rtfm Interaction.followup

[weak violet]

thanks

this doesn't work, how can i use the custom list i made here

inside the UserSelection view

[weak violet]

Another question, is posible to enable another button that is disables for default?, like for enable the second button in a message you must click in the first button.

[full basin]

Yes

[weak violet]

how

[full basin]

Index the children from View.children and change the disabled value

Then edit the message with the view

[weak violet]

i see, but how i can start o where i can read about it? im kinda lost with buttons

class MyView(discord.ui.View):
    @discord.ui.button(label="☀️", style=discord.ButtonStyle.secondary, disabled=True)
    async def uno_button_callback(self, button, interaction):
            button.disabled = True
            button.label = str(interaction.user.name)

            #role = interaction.guild.get_role(1108904273498079324)
            await interaction.response.edit_message(view=self)
            await interaction.followup.send(interaction.user.mention + ' esta corrigiendo esta whitelist')

    @discord.ui.button(label="✅", style=discord.ButtonStyle.gray, disabled=True)
    async def dos_button_callback(self, button, interaction):
            button.disabled = True

            #role = interaction.guild.get_role(1108904273498079324)
            await interaction.response.edit_message(view=self)
            await interaction.followup.send(interaction.user.mention +' lo aprobo')

@bot.slash_command(description="test")
async def test(ctx):
    emb = discord.Embed(title="Test", description="Test")
    view = View()
    view.add_item(button1)
    view.add_item(button2)
    msg = await ctx.respond(embed=emb, view=MyView())```

[young bone]

why do you have two times View?

[weak violet]

oh this was for testing

    view.add_item(button1)
    view.add_item(button2)```

forgot to delete it

[full basin]

The view has a children attribute.

Ordered by how you defined them

Index whatever button you want to enable and change the attribute

[glacial galleon]

tryna save an image and send it but error

discord.errors.ApplicationCommandInvokeError: Application Command raised an exception: PermissionError: [Errno 13] Permission denied: '/home/runner/discord-bot/venv/lib/python3.8/site-packages/kaleido/executable/kaleido'```

[weak violet]

Like if my second button is dos_button_callback, how i can call it?

button_dos
button.dos?

[full basin]

What

[weak violet]

i mad lost lmao

[full basin]

Why would you call the callback from another button?

You said you want to change its disabled status

[weak violet]

ye

[full basin]

Then index the button

View.children

Returns a list with your buttons

Then you can change the attribute

[weak violet]

[full basin]

.rtfm View.children

Eh

.rtfm discord.ui.View.children

OK then

https://docs.pycord.dev/en/master/api/ui_kit.html#discord.ui.View.children

[silver moat]

well, that bot's gone

[weak violet]

like button = [x for x in self.children][0]

[full basin]

self.children is already a list

Why would you iterate over it to create a new list and then index it?

Plus it wouldn't reflect the changes to the view

[weak violet]

Ohh, sorry i dont speak english and the translator wasnt helping

you mean like self.childen[1] [2] [3]?

[full basin]

Yes

[weak violet]

tysm

[cyan quail]

the callback ref does work tho

e.g. if their other button's function was called dos_button_callback under the decorator then they could have set self.dos_button_callback.disabled

Don't use action rows too

Those are internal classes

Why is discord.Button, discord.ActionRow and other stuff public?

[waxen whale]

Good question.
Tho in DisCatSharp we have them public so users can Override it if needed or manually build rows with specific counts

[proud mason]

Hmm

I've been trying to make new commands, and I know that it takes about an hour to register, but it's been more than 4 hours now and nothing has changed. I'm not using cods, just using @bot.slash_command decoratior for each command and not doing anything complicated

I've checked your help command .slashnoshow and I've done everything well

And it's the most simple things ever

@bot.slash_command(name = "hello", description = "Say hello to the bot")
async def hello(ctx):
    await ctx.respond("Hey!")

@bot.slash_command(name = "ping", description = "Check if the bot is online")
async def ping(ctx):
    await ctx.respond(f"Pong! {round(bot.latency * 1000)}ms")

Hello has registered (made a while ago), but Ping hasn't (made "recently")

[unborn pebble]

hello. is it possible to use a new line in a slash command?

if I made a slash command like this /text <multiline text>, how do i create new lines? Because I can't make new lines in discord itself (shift+enter). I usually have to do that in code.

basically i wanna be able to enter something like this:
this
is
on
multiple
lines

but in discord and not in code

[proud mason]

I would suggest using modal to input multiline text

[unborn pebble]

ahh, that works too. I assume discord doesnt allow multiple lines in app for slash commands? but i suppose thats where the usefulness of modals come in. thx!

[somber pelican]

You spelled on_member_join wrong

[proud cargo]

What's the best way to repeat a task once a week

[astral mist]

how do i do this

or make the webhooks built in

[proud mason]

Lmao i just realised 😂

[proud mason]

Use ext.tasks

[wild cobalt]

hi, bit confused. Webhook.send() into a thread requires a thread object. How do I get that thread object if I just have the thread id?

(annoying because the error I'm getting is that it needs thread.id)

[full basin]

Use get_channel or get_thread

Any of those will return the thread obj

[cyan quail]

^ threads are just channels

[wild cobalt]

and if the thread/channel is in a guild where the bot isn't?

Webhook.fetch_message(), message.guild etc

[full basin]

Don't think it's possible

[wild cobalt]

after some experimentation: it seems Pycord only needs thread.id, and passing it a FakeThread with the thread_id as FakeThread.id seems to work... for how long? we will find out I don't think this will work 😄

[proud mason]

you could try passing discord.Object(id)

Although im not sure if this would work either

might need to dig through the source

high chance it will

[wild cobalt]

My FakeThread works for sending; fetching is next experiment

[proud cargo]

discord.errors.ApplicationCommandInvokeError: Application Command raised an exception: AttributeError: 'SlashCommand' object has no attribute 'sync'

[sly comet]

I'm trying to remake a game I like into my bot, and I want to have a function running to wait for a certain message, and another function sending ephemeral messages to the user who started the game via a slash command, as well as sending non-ephemeral messages to the channel. I've looked up stuff like threading, but I couldn't get it to work myself. Any idea on how I might do this correctly?

tbh I've been working at this for like at least 5 hours straight

(btw I'm not sure how to help other problems, or even if my question is more fit for a thread)

[full basin]

What is sync supposed to do.in a slash command object?

[proud cargo]

i have an option(optionchoice()...) type thing with dates. it syncs it to update the dates to have a rolling leaderboard

[full basin]

I'm sure that was never a thing

I could be wrong

[cold hamlet]

How can I edit a response straight after sending it? ctx.message doesn't seem to get populated after ctx.respond, and I need to edit the message (also, how come ctx.edit doesn't have the suppress= param?)

[cursive nova]

I am testing a simple bot with modal user input that i want to save to a database. I had the problem that some entries where publiced in sqlite3(same entry as the user that submitted in the same second). Is this a async problem ? If i want to save user submitted data to a database do i need to query the database async or can i just use synced queries? So basicly what is the best way to save userdata persistent.

[young bone]

message = ctx.interaction.original_response()
message.edit()

[proud mason]

Use ctx.interaction.edit_original_response(...)

[young bone]

There are just many ways to do it xd

[proud mason]

True, but message.edit just calls edit_original_response lol

[full basin]

Or just ctx.edit() xd

[cold hamlet]

Neither of those methods have the suppress kwarg

What I've had to do is fetch the original response, grab the message ID from it, then fetch the message from ctx.channel, and then edit the fetched message

[full basin]

Way too many methods just for one kwarg which could be irrelevant

[cold hamlet]

the entire reason for editing it is to suppress the embeds

because for some reason discord decided showing embeds for hyperlinks was a good idea

I don't think you can suppress them via the <angle bracket things> either

[proud mason]

this could be some pr worthy stuff

[cold hamlet]

Yeah I'm already looking into it

I lost my old fork

[proud mason]

i think this might be a discord limitation

editing a channel message (normal msg) has the flags field https://discord.com/developers/docs/resources/channel#edit-message-jsonform-params

interactions are webhooks under the hood. editing a webhook msg doesnt have flags field https://discord.com/developers/docs/resources/webhook#edit-webhook-message-jsonform-params

[cold hamlet]

Man if only discord's docs were clearer, I would've found this 2 minutes ago 🙄

I doubt I could implement my own hack into the library for this specific flag, since it wouldn't be clean and also I don't think its exactly high-demand

[proud mason]

i wonder if sending a response triggers an on_message event

you could use that ig

[cold hamlet]

        response = await ctx.respond(
            f"Paper A: [{discord.utils.format_dt(paper_1, 'R')}]({paper_1_url})\n"
            f"Paper B: [{discord.utils.format_dt(paper_2, 'R')}]({paper_2_url})"
        )
        message_id = (await ctx.interaction.original_response()).id
        message = await ctx.channel.fetch_message(message_id)
        await message.edit(suppress=True)

I mean this works fine

Its just a little more latent, but considering this is a bot for my college dc server, latency isn't exactly a concern lol

[young bone]

If it works, dont touch it xd

[proud mason]

2 extra api calls. could get you ratelimited quicker

you could also use partial messages

yeah that would save 1 call ig

[cold hamlet]

There's only 5 of us using it lol

If it does in fact trigger on_message I could just get it from bot.cached_messages

[proud mason]

yep

you could use bot.wait_for too

[cold hamlet]

Would be easier than filtering through cached_messages tbh

but this is fine, its not like its a high volume command anyway

[proud mason]

bot.get_message 👀

[cold hamlet]

wait that's a thing???

[proud mason]

yeah lol

[cold hamlet]

you mean this whole time I've been doing discord.utils.get(self.bot.cached_messages, id=<id>)

and I didn't need to

[proud mason]

yep 😂

[cold hamlet]

I feel dumb now

[proud mason]

it was only added in 2.0

[cold hamlet]

im still used to discord.py v1.1 i can't lie

[proud mason]

and few forks dont have it

[cold hamlet]

hell I've still got some 0.16.x in me

[proud mason]

i dont even remember stuff from before ~1.6 lol

[cold hamlet]

Actually, I could add a async source() that does this shorthand fetch for me, but I'm not sure what I'd actually call the function

[proud mason]

just tested. it actually does trigger the event

[cold hamlet]

oh awesome

thank you

saves me 5 minutes lol

give.title = ...

it is not a method

it is just an attribute which you can set

[stiff crest]

so what do i have to do

[proud mason]

- give.title(name = f':giveaway: NEUES GEWINNSPIEL!')
+ give.title = f':giveaway: NEUES GEWINNSPIEL!'

Can you disable a button based off of a custom id?

[proud mason]

From where are you trying to disable the button? From other button callbacks in the view?

Pretty sure if asked this before, what's the difference between disord.Bot, discord.Client and commands.Bot?

[obtuse junco]

No tag discordclients found.

[full basin]

?tag client

[obtuse junco]

discord.Client # just for events
discord.Bot # events + slash/user/msg commands
commands.Bot # above + prefixed commands
bridge.Bot # above + bridge commands (application commands and text commands in one)

[versed fern]

thx

[mossy holly]

Does this means we can't have prefixed commands (like here ?tag) when using discord.Bot ?
If yes, is the transition from discord.Bot to commands.Bot a big change or not ?

Ok I found the answer for the transition (it shouldn't be)
