print converts it to a string?

#

like it uses the class's __str__ method

tiny token
#

Ok

#

So like Im kinda noob at python. Im wondering why as I just try to import main.py through my command class, guildapplicationchannelcommand, but every time I try to import main (regardles if Im using anything in it, I want to use the bot to add listeners for a button) I get circular improrts saying: "commands.guildapplicationchannelcommand' has no attribute 'run'" in my cog class. Ill send screenshots

image.png image.png image.png
#

You can look at the side for the hierarchy

#

and the top for what class your viewing. I Looked through the imports on main and other classes and I have no clue why its circular importing

What is the limit on amount of children for a modal? Or is there none and it will be scrollable?

Well yeah, like the inputFields

Ok, thanks

#

When I try to create a button with .link style, I'm asked for the url, but if I specify the url, I get an error. How do I make a link button?

proud mason
#

that wont work, since link buttons cant have callbacks

copper flicker
#

thats workink, thx

uff, i hate the new usernames. I want my display name to work but if I don't set one on a server it doesn't recognise my default display name and just uses my username instead.

user.display_name is meant to right? Its just giving me thejuanog instead of TheJuanOG🔥

young bone
long moat
#

user.name gives thejuanog

#

if i have my display name set to "TheJuanOG🔥." or any other character "not" in my regular display name it show up as "TheJuanOG🔥."

#

if i don't have a server specific display name set, it reverts back to thejuanog >_>

#

first ss is with "TheDeveloperOG🔥" set as my nickname, second is reverting back to "default" display name.

Hello. I need to receive events from a lurked-mode server, such as voiceStateUpdate and messageReceived. The problem is that even after joining the server in preview mode, I don't receive events through the websocket. Maybe I need to send something to the websocket to get these events? After all, the client somehow receives them.

How to get the master branch one

long moat
#

yeh thats how i always update

#

my last update

image.png
#

probably outdated kek

young bone
#

yea

long moat
#

ok so user.name is acceptable

proud mason
#

i dont think there is a way to know if the install is outdated lol pain

long moat
#

or still .display_name

#

side-note: why force lowercase >_>

young bone
#

and at dev123

proud mason
#

hmm

long moat
#

i realise the "lowercase" call is entirely Discord's and nothing anyone here can do about it, its just frustrating kek

#

i dont want my name more "twitter" like; i've avoided twitter for years i don't need a twittery username

proud mason
#

lmao

proud mason
# long moat or still `.display_name`

iirc

member.name          -> username
member.global_name   -> global display name (global nick name)
member.nick          -> guild nick name
member.display_name  -> member.nick OR member.global_name OR member.name
proud mason
cyan quail
#

yes

#

(on master)

long moat
#

so i should probably use .display_name then.

#

or .global_name

proud mason
#

ill make a tag kek

long moat
# proud mason cool

final noob question; where can i find the changelogs? my server admin wants to see whats updated since our current version for any compatability issues with antiquated code

Hi there!

I have a question about VSCode and PyCharm.
I recently decided to try PyCharm which seems to be much better.

I have two problems:

  • All my imports note an error
  • What is the python project type for a discord bot? (Pure Python, Django, Flask, etc etc)
waxen whale
#

pure py mostly

wary rover
#

Okay, but why are my imports wrong?

#

I have no import problems with vscode

Regarding buttons, is there a way to set a button as "disabled" on its decorator? Here's what I need: I need to generate my View containing a button that could be enabled or disabled based on a boolean variable I have received when instantiating it. I need the button to already appear either enabled/disabled, so I can't just check when the user interacts with it.

I think it's doable because I have seen bots that work pretty similarly to this, but I can't find a way to do it.

How to limit the selection in the select menu? So that the user can select only one item.

So that the user can select only one item.

Edit it

#

max_values is already present, you can just check if he has no other roles when choosing a new one and if there is one to take away.

silver moat
#

I'm not sure I understand. What are you checking for, and how do you want to accomplish that from the user-side?

opaque needle
#

I need the user to have only the selected role, that is, if he cancels the role selection, then he needs to take the old role and give a new one.

silver moat
#

you can get user's roles with interaction.user.roles?

opaque needle
#

yes

I get discord.errors.ValidationError: Command and option description must be 1-100 characters long. from this function ```py
class mcon_enum(enum.Enum):
shirt=1
pants=2
basemorph=3
name=4

@bot.slash_command(name = "modify", description = "Change")
async def mcon(ctx:discord.ApplicationContext,name:str,what:mcon_enum,to:str):``` and it works when i remove mcon_enum

#

I changed it to use py-cord Enum, which from my understanding is just enum.Enum class mcon_enum(discord.Enum): And it works.. why? they are the same thing..

#

print(enum.Enum == discord.Enum) = False confusing

proud mason
#

Huh. That's not supposed to be like that...

tribal girder
neon prairie
#

so that makes enums unusable in py-cord?

# 
if what is mcon_enum.pants``` is allways false, even if what is ``mcon_enum.pants``
and its the same for ``==`` ```py
if what == mcon_enum.pants``` allways false, even if what is ``mcon_enum.pants``
silver moat
#

that's not how slash command options are intended to be used?

neon prairie
silver moat

why cant we use enums?

it works halfway except for the logic part

#

what even is discord.Enum

neon prairie
#

but is not the same somehow

proud mason
#

The type of input that is expected for this option. This can be a :class:SlashCommandOptionType, an associated class, a channel type, a :class:Converter, a converter class or an :class:enum.Enum.
yea enum.Enum is supported

neon prairie

hmm

#

what happens?

neon prairie
#

``

#

print(what is mcon_enum.shirt) # false print(what == mcon_enum.shirt) # false

#

I chose shirt in the option

proud mason
#

can you print what

#

also type(what)

neon prairie
proud mason
#

hmm

neon prairie
silver moat
#

1 is not a type?

neon prairie
#

oh shit

silver moat
#

print(type(what))

#

I think

neon prairie
#

lmao yeah

proud mason
#

yea lol 😂

silver moat
#

watch 1 be a string

proud mason
#

hmm you might need to check the value

neon prairie
#

what the fuck

silver moat
#

issue time?

proud mason
#

you would need to do what == mcon_enum.shirt.value

silver moat
proud mason
#

yea

neon prairie
#

it works fine when py if what == 1

proud mason
#

i think you can make your enum class a subclass of enum.IntEnum

proud mason
neon prairie
proud mason
#

refresh your client

silver moat
#

or just like try again

#

:p

neon prairie
proud mason
#

or maybe wait a few mins

neon prairie
# 
if what == 1``` doing this is fine though
silver moat
#

yeah 1 doesn't tell you anything

#

the whole point of enums is to make it more readable

neon prairie
# 
class mcon_enum(enum.IntEnum):
  shirt=1
  pants=2
  basemorph=3
  name=4``` breaks invisibly
# 
class mcon_enum(enum.Enum):
  shirt=1
  pants=2
  basemorph=3
  name=4``` gives error
# 
class mcon_enum(discord.Enum):
  shirt=1
  pants=2
  basemorph=3
  name=4``` makes py-cord give int instead (but works)
neon prairie
silver moat
#

time to make an issue I suppose

proud mason
young bone
proud mason
#

IntEnum should work the closest

#

or ctrl + shift + r for a hard refresh

and reclick for best refresh

Is there a way to avoid all commands from working? Like a Owner command that makes every command show a message like: "Commands are not working for now, try again later"

proud mason
#

do you logic inside that (i suggest using bot vars). if block command, respond to the command, and return false

#

?tag botvar

obtuse juncoBOT
#

Need to keep track of a variable between functions? No problem!

⚠️ Careful what you name it though, else you might overwrite something ⚠️

Just add it to your commands.Bot or discord.Client instance like so:

bot = commands.Bot(...)
bot.my_variable = 0

async def foo():
    bot.my_variable += 1

# In a cog
@commands.command()
async def counter(self,ctx):
    await ctx.send("Current Counter is at {}".format(ctx.bot.my_variable))

This also allows you to access this from other cogs/extensions/functions. Anywhere you have access to the bot instance

worldly schooner
#

thats what I thought on doing, but

#

the problem is the checking part

#

will I have to make a check on every single command?

young bone
#

mhm

proud mason
#

no

worldly schooner
#

Isnt there a way to have a like all command handler?

young bone
#

You mean error handler?

worldly schooner
#

like global error handler

proud mason
#

a bot check is a check which is only registered once on the bot instance

#

@bot.check

worldly schooner
#

yea but for check before a command starts

proud mason
#

.rtfm bot.checl

winter condorBOT
#

Target not found, try again and make sure to check your spelling.

proud mason
#

.rtfm bot.check

winter condorBOT
proud mason
#

it is bot-wide, not command specific

worldly schooner
#

so it will only check when the instance gets online?

proud mason
#

uh

#

ofc

worldly schooner
# proud mason read this https://docs.pycord.dev/en/stable/api/clients.html#discord.Bot.check

The thing is, I have transaction commands BUT I dont make the transaction commands with rollback rules, so if someone is trading something and the bot stops in the middle of the transaction something will surely be vanished, so what I plan to do is to make a command that inutilizes all the commands in the bot, like accept trades command, so that will previne from people to make trades in the same hour as the bot goes off from a planned maintenance

#

so what im mainly looking for is like a global @before

#

to check if the bot variable is not false

proud mason
#

hmm

worldly schooner
#

like error handlers but that happens before a command

proud mason
#

there is global before_invoke too 👀

#

.rtfm bot.before_invoke

winter condorBOT
proud mason
#

is this of any help?

worldly schooner
#

🤯

#

lemme see

#

yeah definetelly is something that can help

#

tysm

proud mason
#

previne from people to make trades in the same hour as the bot goes off from a planned maintenance
this might be possible to do with checks too tbh

So I have this kick command, and it is not DMing the user.

  embed.add_field(name="Reason", value=f"{reason}")
  embed.add_field(name="Kicked by", value=f"{ctx.author}")
  
  if user:
    await user.kick(reason=reason)
    await ctx.send(f"Kicked {user.display_name} from the server!")
    await user.send(embed=embed)
  else:
    await ctx.send("User not found. Please try again with a valid user.")  
    # Fail safe.

I'm trying to show a date in the footer of an embed but it's not formatting correctly. is this not possible using discord's timestamp format?

image.png
silver moat
#

however, you can set the timestamp of the embed with something like

embed.timestamp = discord.utils.utcnow()
#

yeah embeds have a specific timestamp field

last mason
#

oh ok

#

so that will only show the time in utc right

Hey, I got a little confused on how I'm supposed to use OptionChoice
consider following code, everything inside single cog, the command is a part of SlashCommandGroup

channel_types = [
    OptionChoice(name="Discussion - For a chit-chats about the posts", value="text"),
    OptionChoice(name="Posts - For discovering glorious wonders of the internet", value="post"),
    OptionChoice(name="Voice chat - For most vocal art enjoyers", value="vc")
]
action_types = [
    OptionChoice(name="Create - Create a new channel for the category", value="create"),
    OptionChoice(name="Add existing - Associate existing channel to the category", value="add"),
    OptionChoice(name="Remove - Remove channel from the category", value="remove")
]

@_category.command()
@discord.option("action_type", description="Select what do you want to do with the channel",
                choices=action_types, required=True)
@discord.option("channel_type", description="Select which channel you want to update",
                choices=channel_types, required=True)
@discord.option("channel", description="Select the channel to update (if relevant)")
async def update(self, ctx: ApplicationContext, category_alias: str, action_type: OptionChoice,
                 channel_type: OptionChoice, channel: TextChannel | VoiceChannel = None):
    ...

the current error is
TypeError: Invalid class <class 'discord.commands.options.OptionChoice'> used as an input type for an Option
Which I suppose make sense, considering how it works
My question is, if the user select one of the options, what's being passed to the function? value parameter?

young bone
glossy forum
# young bone for channel use `typing.Union[TextChannel, VoiceChannel]` and why is `channel_ty...

for channel use typing.Union[TextChannel, VoiceChannel]
I'm using Python 3.11, it should be equivalent, no?
why is channel_type: OptionChoice
Let's say it's an utils function for polishing the edges
so it creates 9 potential outcomes as it takes 3 actions (creation of new channel, adding existing channel and removing a channel), for 3 types of channels depending on intended use-case.
It's because I'm connecting it with the database and do other stuff related to the data there

young bone
#

For options you have to restart the bot everytime?

glossy forum
#

huh? No, It's constant. It's just I find it more user friendly to provide them options to choose from instead of making them type it
and later the outcome is gonna be handled by the match statement

# 
action_t = action_type.to_dict()
channel_t = channel_type.to_dict()
match action_t["value"]:
    case "create":
        status = await create_and_setup(channel_t["value"])
    case "add": #etc
silver moat
#

Hey could you show the error with full traceback?

glossy forum
#

sure, I'd need to log on the VPS server first tho
but the error is because Option doesn't have OptionChoice as a valid input_type
from option.py's source code:

# 
input_type: Union[Type[:class:`str`], Type[:class:`bool`], Type[:class:`int`], Type[:class:`float`], Type[:class:`.abc.GuildChannel`], Type[:class:`Thread`], Type[:class:`Member`], Type[:class:`User`], Type[:class:`Attachment`], Type[:class:`Role`], Type[:class:`.abc.Mentionable`], :class:`SlashCommandOptionType`, Type[:class:`.ext.commands.Converter`], Type[:class:`enums.Enum`], Type[:class:`Enum`]]
        The type of input that is expected for this option. This can be a :class:`SlashCommandOptionType`,
        an associated class, a channel type, a :class:`Converter`, a converter class or an :class:`enum.Enum`.

Does a bot that has slash commands actually need the "use application commands" permission?

#

ty 👌

#

Do invite links still need the "applications.commands" scope?

still good to have ig

And in discord.utils.oauth_url(), client_id is just bot.user.id, right?

it took me 10 minutes to figure that out

its not the actual bytes

it does say that it accepts bytes

probably

#

I still tried it and it didnt work so

can you confirm that what you have actually are bytes?

uh what is .content supposed to do?

#

and the "v" parameter

neon prairie
#

it gives the actual bytes

#

"v" is the "name" of the file its a arguement for discord.File

silver moat

so shouldn't it be inside of the parentheses

it is?

#

fun. not sure if this specifically this image, could you try a different image to see if it yields any different results?

neon prairie
#

ye

silver moat
#

also, for the file thing, perhaps change it to

discord.File(
  fp = requests.get(i["imageUrl"]).content,
  filename = "v"
)
``` for readability sake.
neon prairie
#

its more readable for me the first way

#

the second way my eyes dont like to traverse multiple lines

silver moat
#

and maybe filename needs an extension like .png or .jpeg

silver moat
neon prairie
#

it was giving me a hard time trying a separate image so I put it in manually and same error

#

well, there's this other problem about using requests

#

?tag requests

obtuse juncoBOT
#

Why you should not use the requests library for your bot
requests is a popular HTTP library for Python. It is however not a good option for Discord bots, since it is not async and blocking.

This essentially means that your bot will not be able to execute any code at all while a request is happening. Since requests usually take a few seconds to complete, this can have a detrimental effect on your bot's performance. E.g if a user executes a command that performs a request taking 5 seconds to complete, no one else will be able to use your bot for those 5 seconds.

Please look at using a HTTP library that has async support, such as aiohttp or httpx

neon prairie
#

async is so fucking annoying

silver moat
#

you chose py-cord, an asyncio-oriented library

neon prairie
#

theres no other non-asyncio libraries

#

like at all, some libraries are even using async without anything blocking

#

its so fucking dumb

#

im gonna rewrite rq to use httpx

silver moat
#

if you use aiohttp, it would be better because it comes installed with py-cord

neon prairie
#

ok

neon prairie
silver moat
neon prairie
#

what the fuck...

image.png
#

this isnt meant for one liners

silver moat
#

And I'm fairly certain you can do

async with aiohttp.ClientSession() as session: # creates session
    async with session.get(url) as response: # gets image from url
        image = await response.read()
        with io.BytesIO(image) as file: # converts to file-like object for discord.File to take
            file=discord.File(file, "just_an_image.png")
neon prairie
#

okay I shouldve expected this

silver moat
#

you can one-line it

#

but like it looks stupid

neon prairie
#

this feels like it probably has so much overhead that requests is still faster

silver moat
#

requests just has the overhead internally

neon prairie
#

requests uses a c library

#

I think

silver moat
#

premature optimization?

neon prairie
#

lol yeah

silver moat
#

if you hate the nesting make a helper function or something

neon prairie
#

yeah its gonna nest alot, I get the links from another link which I get from another link..

#

it makes my thing look ugly 😭

dense gorge
#

There's still no way to edit a message such that you remove the file attachment, right?

#

As I understand it, that's an API issue that Discord doesn't offer that feature? I know that was the case when I last made a bot that needed to do it in like 2021.

silver moat
dense gorge
#

Real shit??

silver moat
#

you edit them with the attachments kwarg iirc

dense gorge
#

I tried file = None and file = discord.Missing--

#

But not file?

#

Aha.

silver moat
#

file is for uploading them

dense gorge
#

But only for uploading them. Roger roger.

silver moat
#

yah

dense gorge
# silver moat yah

Mmmnope. Turns out that attachments allows you to edit new files into the message as an upload, but not to delete them.

#

Tried every method in the book before buckling and checking the docs, and they confirm this.

silver moat
#

If [] is passed then all attachments are removed.

#

not sure what you're reading

image.png
dense gorge
#

Hold on, let me try that for myself and kick myself if I missed that.

#

Okay, wow. I'm sorry.

#

I misread the docs and forgot the most obvious form of passing in null into a list arg.

#

Thank you very much.

silver moat
#

yay

cinder pelican
#

I think I'm in the right place. I am attempting to create a form that would contain multiple kinds of components (so modals won't work)

Why can't you add InputTexts to a discord.ui.View? Is that a Discord limitation or a Pycord limitation?

silver moat

Gotcha. There seems to be a lot of those.

Thank you very much

Is a message id always a fixed digit length like a user id (18)? I'm not sure what sql type I should use for a message id.

silver moat
#

?tag snowflake

obtuse juncoBOT
silver moat
#

this is how IDs are generated

#

I’ll suggest using a string

#

but it’s up to you

wet coral
#

so a simple bigint sql type should do the job?

#

unsigned ofc

#

I was just a bit confused because for use id's I'm simply using BIGINT(18)

#

oh i just read the number is just the display width.

cyan quail
#

discord uses string since it's the most reliable for compatability, we have it as int in python because it's convenient

#

if you're confident bigint is best for you then go for it

wet coral
#

well bigint is 8 bytes = 64 bits, so it should work.
But thanks for the help

is there a bridge equivalent for bot_has_permissions, since using it in a bridge command doesnt seem to work.

proud mason
simple canopy
#

stable 2.4.1

proud mason
#

Hmm there was a minor update with options in bridge. Try using master branch

#

Not sure if it would affect this

simple canopy
#

using member: discord.Option(discord.Member)
gives error when trying to use prefixed command.
something "couldn't translate discord.Option"

simple canopy
proud mason
#

Also try member: discord.Member

simple canopy
#

oh yeah, master branch fails :p

#

ValueError: mutable default <class 'discord.utils._MissingSentinel'> for field name is not allowed: use default_factory

Are you on 3.11?

simple canopy
#

yes

proud mason
#

Yea it just broke yesterday after a pr got merged

#

💀

simple canopy
#

member: discord.Member works, but there is no way to actually configure display settings of an option?

#

using syntax like this produces the same issue

#

removing decorator makes it work

proud mason
#

I think introducing a new bridge.Option would be the only way to successfully work every time

i guess there is an issue in bridge option translation implementation

yeah

Monkey patching discord.Option is very janky

that's unlucky

Hey guys I have a small problem:
Sometimes when I restart my bot I have this error when launching a slash command (see screenshot); does someone know what could cause this ?

proud mason
#

there should be more text above this

mossy holly
#

I think it might be because either I restart the bot too fast (see the script below) or because the process doesn't get killed properly when I stop the bot (again see script + screenshots)

#!/bin/bash

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

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



start_bot() {
    # 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
}


stop_bot() {
    kill -s 10 $(cat pid)
    sleep 0.1
    echo "Bot hors ligne"
}


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


if [ $1 = "start" ]; then
    start_bot
fi


if [ $1 = "stop" ]; then
    stop_bot
fi


if [ $1 = "restart" ]; then
    stop_bot
    sleep 0.25
    start_bot
fi


if [[ $1 =~ ^log.* ]]; then
    cat logs/current.log
fi

(I handle the SIGUSR signal (10) in my bot, calling bot.close() when receiving it)

show how you create the view in devArgoBot/argobot/cogs/general.py", line 40

I also tried this as my stop function to make sure all process are killed but I still have the error occasionnaly

stop_bot() {
    kill -s 10 $(cat pid)
    echo "Bot hors ligne"
    sleep 0.1

    while ps | grep $(cat pid);
    do 
        kill $(cat pid)

With MenuRecherche being this

proud mason
#

hmm

mossy holly
#

(sorry it's in french, can translate if necessary)

proud mason
#

do you have a select menu with no options?

mossy holly
proud mason
#

ah this might be a race condition

#

are you making the view on ready? nope it is a cmd

quasi stratus
#

Maybe it's due to the CritereSelect or OperatorSelect ?

mossy holly
quasi stratus
#

In the init of MenuRecherche

proud mason
mossy holly
proud mason
#

because then you can override bot.start() or smth to load the static data

#

subclassing recommended

cyan quail
#

but if the view is initialized in the command, it shouldn't matter?

mossy holly
#

I already subclassed my bot so yeah bot.start() seems a good idea

proud mason
quasi stratus
#

You should check if the data is correctly loaded from your db

mossy holly
#

yep it seems like a good idea too, i'll try to load the static data before connecting the bot (it doesn't need the bot to do it) and make error handling 😄

mossy holly
cyan quail
#

...no?

proud mason
#

you would ideally do stuff like this

async def start(...):

  # your code

  await super().start(...)
#

thats it

As far as I know, discord or pycord don't update view if it's the same

the first is category_open

If your views have the same parameters

only with select so

How do you do this in an embed?
I don't think its append_field because it only takes one argument

I would say it's simply a long description

it uses this symbol "`"
`text`
text

But the listing part

topaz ruin
#

you mean like getting all the links into the embed?

livid wolf
#

No. So I'm working on a command that lists the user's roles.
In that screenshot, how would I do that? Listing the roles?

#

As an embed

#

I do have an idea, let me try that

topaz ruin
#

use

  rolelist = [r.mention for r in ctx.user.roles if r != ctx.guild.default_role]
  roles = "\n".join(rolelist)
#(https://stackoverflow.com/questions/62386397/discord-py-list-the-users-roles)

to get the roles
then to send them as an embed

  embed = discord.Embed(title="Your title", description=roles)
  await ctx.respond(embed=embed)

One of the servers my bot is on appears to be cursed. For some reason, after a few weeks of being on this server, I start to get the following error when a slash command is used:

AttributeError: 'PartialMessageable' object has no attribute 'permissions_for'

Why is it suddenly getting a PartialMessageable instead of a channel?

#

(I don't know exactly which line in my code is causing the error; this is the entiretly of the error message in my logs)

Hi, i have another unknown issue.
I'm gathering all my errors but when my cog_check is returning False it does get handled :

    @commands.Cog.listener()
    async def on_application_command_error(self, ctx: ApplicationContext, error: DiscordException):
        if isinstance(error, Forbidden):
          pass
        elif isinstance(error, CheckFailure): # Should pass here right ?
            await ctx.respond("You didn't match the command checks") 
        else:
            await ctx.respond("Unknown error occured")```
#

But it goes to the else statement

honest spoke
meager heron
honest spoke
#

hmmmmmmmm

meager heron
#

The error seems to be in the core library, too

honest spoke
meager heron
#

I know that if the server removes and re-invites the bot, it works again

honest spoke
#

Im suggesting u to debug the libarry
Set a breakpoint at discord/interactions.py line 267 and look what if guild is None or if the code is hitting the if statment for some reason.
Or the channel is simply not cached

honest spoke
#

Then you can check channel and guild

meager heron
#

I think this will be very difficult to debug, unfortunately. I’m not on the server, and as I said, it works fine for a number of weeks

#

I do appreciate the suggestion, however

silver moat
#

what type is the error anyways

meager heron
#

AttributeError, if you’re asking me

silver moat
#

no, I was referring to @quasi stratus.

#

@meager heron @quasi stratus perhaps make a new forum post for each of your issues?

quasi stratus
#

Well, because it was a minor one i was not thinking of opening a new thread

#

But i'll see

honest spoke
quasi stratus
#

I'll check it

quasi stratus
silver moat
#

could you do something along the lines of print(type(error))

quasi stratus
#

I did a __repr__() so the type is checkFailure as you can see

honest spoke
#

Do you have by any chance pycord and a other dicord.py like lib installed ?
Could be that you take the wrong namespace

#

could you show pip list ?

quasi stratus
#

I checked the namespace and i only have pycord 2.4.1

honest spoke
silver moat
#

which CheckError are you using, discord.CheckError or commands.CheckError?

quasi stratus
#

commands

silver moat
#

yeah you're supposed to use the discord one

#

for slash commands, right?

quasi stratus
#

Ho okey

#

Yeah

#

I see the error

#

Yeah working better

#

Thanks ❤️

silver moat
#

yay

quasi stratus
#

Alright, one strange error down. Still need to figure out my user_update one x)

frank thistle
#

Does Pycord allow you to use these new global display names

silver moat
frank thistle
#

hmm ok ill have a look

hopefully be in main / stable soon

Is there a particular way to rename channels a lot faster? Everything seems to be running smoothly except for renaming a channel, which takes 6 minutes for some odd reason

silver moat
warm grotto
# silver moat ratelimits exist. Also stop using bare-excepts

Right, but the ones after the channel naming (changing overwrites and position) were running fast. I just had to separate them into three separate commands as shown above to debug what was taking the longest to edit the channel. In my code, I did:py try: await message.channel.edit(name=channelname,overwrites=Overwrites,position=len(message.channel.category.channels)) except Exception as e: print(e)There wasn't any other await functions other than:

  • fetching a message from the channel
  • editing a message from the channel
  • sending a message in a separate channel
round rivet
#

the rate limit for channel name/topic changes is 2 per 10 minutes

#

also why are you doing 3 different edits

#

you can do 1

warm grotto
#

Again, had to make 3 different edits just so I can debug what was taking the longest

silver moat
warm grotto
round rivet
#

the rate limit for channel name/topic changes is 2 per 10 minutes

silver moat
#

hey plun, where do you get these figures or do you just know them

round rivet
#

they were announced in ddevs when they were changed

silver moat
#

is there a list of each individual thing's ratelimits

round rivet
#

no

warm grotto
#

And is that per channel, per guild, or per application?

round rivet
#

per channel

silver moat
#

and per ip

warm grotto
#

Dang, that rate limit is... pretty strict. I guess its just a matter of finding an alternative way to indicate when a ticket has been assigned to an agent

earnest widget
#

does on_command_error also apply to slash commands?

silver moat
earnest widget
#

oh yeah and what was the attribute to make it so that after u choose an option in dropdown it resets back to nothing

this is my BasicModal class

am i doing it wrong to where it wont do action rows?

yeah 2.4.1

waxen whale

so it might be your code or pycord doin some weird race condition

i doubt its my code

#

everything seems logical

#

its a simple subclass

There's no way to get a selector into a embed, correct? Or am I missing something?

No
You can't really change position of your ui components
They are always under your message, and you can only change their position with other elements (rows/pos)

just in case, can you give me full sample code that would reproduce this (as you would on github)? i tried with your class above and it still worked fine

bruh even this doesn't work, same errors

this breaks it with your exact error because you shouldn't assign children directly.
using add_item has consistently worked for me without breaking ```py
class BasicModal(discord.ui.Modal):
def init(self, title: str, children: list):
super().init(title=title)
for c in children:
self.add_item(c)
self.interaction = None
self.response = None

async def callback(self, interaction):
    self.interaction = interaction
    self.response = self.children
    self.stop()

economy_data = {
"settings": {
"starting_amount": "1",
"currency_name": "nice",
"currency_emoji": "..",
"robbing": True
}
}
