i tried upgrading it to work in 3 different channels at once but now it is broken

#

just not posting at all

#

and i've tried debugging already

#

it has it stored in the DB just fine

#

but its not posting

versed fern
#

please give your tasks actual names

zealous bear
versed fern
#

very descriptive name actually better, but still

#

What exaclty isn't working?

zealous bear
#

but not posting in the channels

#

at all

#

how do you cross out something like that

versed fern
#

If the channel isn't in cache, bot.get_channel(channel_id) is going to return None

#

You should fetch the channel instead

#

channel = await utils.get_or_fetch() would be best since it doesn't make API calls if not necessary

#

.rtfm get_or_fetch

Is there a build-in class/function for the help command in form of a slash command?
Docs says it's recommended to use the build-in solution, but that class is build to be used as a classic/prefixed command, from what I see
Asking in case I can save myself from reinventing the wheel

zealous bear
#

which is why this is so weird haha

#

^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

#

nope

versed fern
#

you're trying to get/fetch a channel, not "low-tier-items"

zealous bear
versed fern
#

but pycord doesn't know this (not before getting the channel)

#

you have to specify the type of object you want to return

#

in your case, a channel

zealous bear
#

OH

basically, what happens is this:
You set serveras the object here:

channel = await discord.utils.get_or_fetch(server, 'channel', LOW_TIER_ID, default=None)

Then, the library does the following:

channel = object.get_channel(channel_id)
if not channel:
  channel = await object.fetch_channel(channel_id)

Since server is a list of server_ids (Please name your variables accurately, sth like allowed_server_ids would be more fitting), but this list doesn't have the method get_channel, guilds do

zealous bear

not an id

#

a guild

To be clear:

When we tell you to learn Python before asking questions here, it is not meant in a derogatory way, we are not calling your dumb or incompetent. We are simply stating the fact that usage of PyCord requires a fair bit of knowledge with using OOP, Async/Await etc. in Python. If you are not comfortable with these concepts, chances are you will not understand the answers given to you in this channel.

We understand that everyone learns at a different pace, and your current knowledge with Python may have been enough so far. When we say "you need to learn Python", it is most likely a sign that we have given you an explanation that you could not understand and there is no way for us continue to help you without spoonfeeding.

versed fern
#

let's just ignore my typo

zealous bear
#

i've only been programming overall for 3 weeks 😭

#

where can i learn about OOP (dont know what that is), and Async/Await

versed fern
#

It's really hard to help you without you knowing basic OOP

young bone
versed fern
#

my bad

#

OOP is object oriented programming

zealous bear
#

so i can fix it and then

#

go learn python

#

but that won't help you in the long run

https://www.digitalocean.com/community/tutorials/understanding-class-and-instance-variables-in-python-3
https://docs.python.org/3/tutorial/classes.html

There's a difference between a class and an instance. Think of it like this:

  • A class is like a blueprint, or a concept. It defines what something should have, but it's not the same as actually having it.
  • An instance is the 'realized' version of the class, it contains everything that the class defines should be on it, but you can actually access and interact with these features.

Let's consider the Cat. We know a Cat has a name and an age, but Cat.age won't work, because Cat isn't an actual cat, it just represents the concept of a cat. It's like asking "What is the age of a cat?" - it doesn't make sense, because we need to have an actual cat.

mimi on the other hand is an instance of a Cat - it has everything a Cat should have. Maybe mimi was constructed, like mimi = Cat("Mimi", age=4), or maybe mimi was retrieved from somewhere else, like house.cats[0], but in any case, it has everything we need, and mimi.age will rightfully give us 4.

There are many situations in Object Oriented Programming where you will need an instance instead of a class to perform an operation properly (in fact, you almost always need an instance instead of a class), and these cases will usually be documented.
You should learn a good amount about Object Oriented Programming before working extensively with Pycord.

~~pulling my hair out a little bit here.

message = output_character(codename, ch)
    try:
        await ctx.respond(message)
    except discord.errors.HTTPException as e:
        with open("message.txt","w") as file:
            file.write(message)
        await ctx.respond("The message is too long to send. Please view the attached file.",file=discord.File('message.txt'))
        os.remove('message.txt')
        log("Sent character sheet as file")

this is a snippet of code at the end of a slash command call. output_character assigns the raw string I want to send to the user to message. in this context, message can be quite long, sometimes exceeding 2000 chars. the idea here is for the bot to send the message content as a file instead of a message body if the initial ctx.respond fails.

the kicker is this:
i have 2 versions of my bot: one for testing, and one for actual member-facing use.

  • on my testing bot, this works fine. if message content exceeds 2000 chars, it's sent as a file instead, exactly as i want.
  • on my main bot (which is verified by discord), HTTPException: "Must be 2000 or fewer in length" is thrown and the command fails unconditionally if message has a length above 2000.~~
#

i have no idea what the issue is here. even when both bots are running the exact same code they perform differently.

#

i've also attempted to do this via checking len(message) > 2000 beforehand and got similar results

#

oh fucking hell. nevermind. git issue. i've been working on the wrong branch this entire time

What's the best way to warn users with a moderation bot? I mean, if the bot detects a bad word, how do you warn the user about his behaviour? Via private message?

silver moat
#
  1. Ping them in the channel that they were warned in
  2. DM them
  3. Log the warn
#

all three should be done

I have a command and I respond to the command like this:

For some reason I get an error: discord.errors.NotFound: 404 Not Found (error code: 10062): Unknown interaction , while trying to send an embed?

    ctx: discord.ApplicationContext, by: str, value: str,):
    url: str = f"https://openlibrary.org/search.json?{by}={value}".lower()
    response = requests.get(url)
    data = response.json()

    # Check if there are any documents in the response
    if "docs" in data:

        # Iterate over the documents
        for doc in data["docs"]:
            # Check if the document has a language field
            if "language" in doc and len(doc["language"]) == 1 and doc["language"][0] == "eng":
                # Check if the document has an ISBN
                if "isbn" in doc:
                    # Grab the ISBN and print it
                    isbn = doc["isbn"][0]
                    print("ISBN:", isbn)
                    embed = discord.Embed(title="Located Book", description=f"I found a book with the ISBN: {isbn}")
                    embed.set_author(name=f"Search by  for '{value}'")
                    await ctx.respond(embed=embed)
                    break  # Exit the loop since we found the desired document
        else:
            print("No English document found.")
    else:
        print("No documents found in the response.")
#

Works fine if there is no embed response, and if it is just printed

?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

woven basin
young bone
#

Yes

woven basin
#

sorry. haven't bot programmed in a while

young bone

If you use requests, its gonna block yout whole bot

so bot is just slow

#

bummer... idek how to make this faster.

#

I am trying to make a book which has a folder of books, and user can pass a param like ISBN, title or author, and get info about the book, if there is an entry for it on my pc, I can even attach it in the message.

#

sadly, just the remote api takes too long

young bone
woven basin
#

yeah so, just querying the api alone takes 3 seconds.

young bone
#

So you already could send a respond after that edit or send a new message

woven basin
#

perhaps, is there a way to stop reading after some point, and not have to make a request just to pull all this unessecary data

#

Essentially I am grabbing the 0th book, so long as it is "eng"

Does it also happend to a basic slash command?

commands like that don't fail i dont think

young bone
#

Did you test it?

#

and it didn't fail

#

ill run a more complex command and see if the more complex one fails

young bone
#

And if you just send a respond and a message after that?

zealous bear
#

but usually if i don't use the bot for a while

the first command i use after that break will fail

and the next will succeed. it's like it has a startup time

#

How do you host the bot?

zealous bear
#

it's still in development

#

do you think that i should open up a seperate help post for this, as to not misuse this post?

proud mason
#

well host is the issue here. you either have a bad network, or the OS puts the bot to sleep

zealous bear
#

how do i prevent that?

proud mason
#

like you said, the 1st request will "warm-up" the network and process, so the following requests dont fail

zealous bear
#

Well i'm devving it on a mac

#

so 😂 that's probably the issue

proud mason
#

it doesnt do that for me shrug

zealous bear

so do you think that i should just host like the parts that are working fully

or just dont add it

if you are using discord.Option, put it in the constructor, if you are using @option, put it in there

does TextChannel.clone clone the channel in the same category and basically replaces the channel?

cyan quail
#

it's not a replace, it's a new channel with the same attributes (+renaming), same as "Duplicate Channel" on the UI

#

it will be in the same category

fervent cradle
#

so if i clone it and then delete it its basically a replace, will it be in the same position as well?

cyan quail
#

it'll be at the bottom of the category

fervent cradle

right, so i still need to move it up

required is already the default, if it's not then you've done something else wrong

just remove the *,

grim tangle
#

okay...

young bone
#

Why do you have an * in a slash command?

grim tangle
#

it use to be normal prefixed commands but I changed over

silver moat
#

also, the =None should also be removed if you want it to be required

#

Do I have to worry about sharding my bot at the start, when its only in like 10 servers? Or can I easily implement AutoSharding later when the amount of servers increases?

proud mason
#

Sharding is only need post 2k servers

#

and it wont even work before that

#

so using AutoShardedBot before that will only cause overheads

hello!
How do I make checks before a command kicks in?
I want to only restrict users usage to only users that have a certain role.
Is it also possible to hide it for users without that role?

solemn idol
# drowsy hound hello! How do I make checks before a command kicks in? I want to only restrict...

I would've said you could use discord permissions by using @discord.default_permissions which checks if the user has role permissions. But if its a personal bot you might directly just use discord's feature which allows you to select on your server who is allowed to use what commands (Under integrations tab; works for slash commands, see image)

But if those are definitely not the ways you want to go, you need to make a custom checker which for example checks if user is admin or smth like that.

(checks if the author has role xxx)

Ok so for some reason, passing deug_guild id into my subclass of discord.Bot does not work... and I have no idea why.

"Does not work" --> It doesn't make my commands private.

  • How do I know it doesn't work.
    I have a checker which checks if commands are global or private, I even checked it to see if the Guild which's ID I provided has any private commands (and it has none so my bot's commands are global)

bot.py

import platform
import sys
from datetime import datetime

import colorama
import discord

from core.utils import Log, intents

colorama.init(autoreset=True)
sys.stdout = Log(open('./logs/console.log', 'w'))

class Beanie(discord.Bot):

    async def on_ready(self):
        base_url = discord.utils.oauth_url(self.user.id)
        permissions = discord.Permissions.administrator.flag
        link = f"{base_url}&permissions={permissions}"

        print(colorama.Fore.GREEN + f"\n     ---------")
        print(colorama.Fore.GREEN + f"System-OS : {platform.system()}")
        print(colorama.Fore.GREEN + f"OS-Version : {platform.version()}")
        print(colorama.Fore.GREEN + f"Discord-Tag : {self.user}")
        print(colorama.Fore.GREEN + f"Client-ID : {self.user.id}")
        print(colorama.Fore.GREEN + f"Conected-Guilds : {len(self.guilds)}")
        print(colorama.Fore.GREEN + f"Latency : {round(self.latency * 1000)}ms")
        print(colorama.Fore.GREEN + f"Time : {datetime.now().strftime('%d-%m-%Y %H:%M:%S')}")
        print(colorama.Fore.GREEN + f"Bot-Invite : {link}")

        # Write the list of intents to a file using the Log class
        sys.stdout.write_intents(intents)

        print(colorama.Fore.GREEN + f"     ---------\n")


debug_server = globals().get('debug_server', [])
bot = Beanie(intents=intents, debug_guilds=[1114959767715184730])

Any help is appreciated.

#

documentation even asks for a list with int's so... I am lost at this point.

image.png
#

And here's my regcheck.py file (which is run seperately) if you're wondering how I checked for them to be global / private

import requests, os
from dotenv import load_dotenv

load_dotenv()

bot_id = 1234567891011121314

# Replace these values with bot's information
BOT_TOKEN = os.getenv('token')
CLIENT_ID = bot_id

headers = {
    "Authorization": f"Bot {BOT_TOKEN}"
}
GUILD_ID = 1114959767715184730
response = requests.get(f"https://discord.com/api/v9/applications/{CLIENT_ID}/guilds/{GUILD_ID}/commands", headers=headers)

if response.status_code == 200:
    commands = response.json()
    if not commands:
        print("No commands found.")
    else:
        for command in commands:
            print(f"{command['name']}: {command['id']}")
else:
    print(f"An error occurred: {response.text}")

solemn idol

So there is none and your problem is solved.

In other words : You issue seems to be fixed?

fervent cradle
#

yeah

solemn idol
drowsy hound
#

How does that work? Am I disabling the command for that channel?

solemn idol
# drowsy hound How does that work? Am I disabling the command for that channel?

Yeah, you look;

You can disable the command either for entire channels or for roles

if you disable it for moderator role they cannot use it
but if you only enable it for them only they should be able to use it (unless your bot's code allows them to use the commands without the permission overrides)

The same for channel overrides.
You can either disable a command completely in a channel so it cannot be used by anyone in that channel or...
You enable it so that command can be used in that channel.

#

Now you can also make a mix of these permissions as you can make it so that in some channels the command cannot be used at all by anyone not even moderators

While in other channels you only allow it to be used by moderators.

drowsy hound
#

oh, so... if I disable it like that but I am admin... I still can use the command? I think that's my confusion

solemn idol
#

Oh right, I am not sure if admins can still use the commands but it would probably make sense that they can... so yeah, you can always preview your server from a specific role angle (theres an option in the role menu of your server which allows you to do that) so you can view your server with a specific role's permissions etc. as if you were to be that role.

#

brb

drowsy hound
#

Ok, I'll wait. Btw, that seems to be really useful, where can I find that option?

fervent cradle
#

can anyone please elaborate on the difference between has_permissions and default_permissions? which one is better for lets say moderation commands, they essentially seem to be the same thing?

silver moat
fervent cradle
#

okay, so if i use has_permissions will the commands still be visible to only those with the permissions

silver moat
fervent cradle
#

and for my which would be better to use part?

silver moat
#

you're choice?

fervent cradle
#

well default permissions is a bit more flexible isnt it? i dont know which one to use whether or not to let moderators of guilds manage it or not

fervent cradle
#

nvm, i think its better to use default_permissions cus it is more flexible, and allows for the admins manage it better if they need to

I dont think so. Does your bot have the create guild commands permission on that server?

#

It has admin permissions thus...

but it doesnt make my global commands private either

#

does anyone know why only the deny button is showing up

solemn idol
#

This is like really painful, its going to limit my amount of tests and the speed of tests, but what I find most confusing is why making debug_guilds in the Beanie (subclass) doesn't directly make them private

and it did not work

proud mason
zealous bear
#

i do, they're accept and deny

"function names"

#

not label

zealous bear
#

oh

proud mason

#

Restartet the bot

#

It says too many files open

#

Cant connect to discord

solemn idol
# solemn idol 🥹

yk at this point I dont mind adding debug_guilds but they need to work as this is slowly starting to make me loose my mind... first cog loading / unloading and now the general command registration 🥹
And I still don't know why debug_guilds only works half, it used to work on my old bot using Discord.Bot but I am trying to organize stuff ab it more and this is going to ruin a lot

true panther
#

anyone has some example bot made with async sqlalchemy maybe?

zealous bear
#

like that?

proud mason
#

uh no

#

button_callback itself

#

you can do like
async def accept_button(...):
and
async def deny_button(...):

zealous bear

OH

#

I mean what part of your code. Like on startup or on command. OR just randomly after time

grizzled sun
#

Im having issues with interactions atm, after using an interaction it suddenly no longer shows up

#

Currently this is the code

@bot.bridge_command(aliases=['tt','travel_time', 'travel'], description="Replies with the shortest route and the travel time in between the regions")
 async def traveltime(ctx, start: discord.Option(str, choices=[region for region in TravelTime.regions]), end: discord.Option(str, choices=[region for region in TravelTime.regions])):
     if end == None and start == None:
         await ctx.reply("Choose two regions!", view=Timeview(timeout=30))
         return
     await ctx.reply(await get_travel_time(start, end, TravelTime.Timegraph, "days"))```
proud mason

?tag codeblock

obtuse juncoBOT
#

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

That makes reading code in Discord a lot easier:

print("This is an example.")
grizzled sun
#

yea yea

proud mason
grizzled sun
#

Multiple Instances?

proud mason
#

yeah. like running the same bot (same token) actively more than once

grizzled sun
#

Only running one instance from Vscode on my laptop while im testing and working on the bot

proud mason
#

hmm try resetting the token

clear vault
grizzled sentinel
#

Next time you get the erro please ping me with the ENTIRE traceback. I have never seen the issue before and am unsure what would cause it without more info.

clear vault
#

But if it shows again i'll ping you

grizzled sun
grizzled sentinel
#

That almost 100% means that you were accidentally running the bot multiple times. (IE in 2 different terminals on your PC) At least it works now!

hey is there a way to make it so that my slash command has a cooldown, and a different cooldown for 3 different roles

slate arrow
#

Does anyone have like a way only certain roles can use a slash command i cant find info on it anywhere

waxen whale
#

Slash permissions are handled via guild settings > Integrations
The old system from the bots side was removed long ago.

You can do custom checks tho.
Read the docs :)

?

silver moat
#

what?

zealous bear
#

is that incorrect usage

#

like where do i put my command name

and where do i leave it as dynamic cooldown

silver moat

the decorator goes above the command name. This function is just there

@commands.dynamic_cooldown(posttrade, type = commands.BucketType.member)
await interaction.something
#

this is correct? or am i just completely lost

the bucket type will be role

it should look like this right?

Yes

because i'm wondering if the way i'm deferring is causing interactions to fail

Ctx.edit is to edit the message

so i was wondering if that is the better way to do it

If you want to do that

okay

👋 quick question: if I’m in a cog, can I still use @discord.ui.mentionable_select()? seems like I need to modify it somehow because it’s not working for me (just getting an empty view). can post the 5 lines of code in its own thread if needed, but figured it might be a direct question

#

actually more generally I’m not quite sure what the different pre-made selects actually do. I may be misunderstanding; my hope is that it gives me a dropdown with a list of members in the channel where my slash command was invoked, but that seems a bit unlikely 😅

trim condor
#

turns out I was able to make it work via a view, instantiating the class, and setting the component type. I’ve noticed that I don’t always see the dropdown for some reason, I haven’t quite figured out why that is. I’ve also noticed some lag with slash command registration depending on which device I’m connected to discord with 🤔

signal sandal

how should i update my code to work with the new username system?

silver moat

if designed correctly, no changes are needed

everything works though

next release should remove the #0 iirc.

For now you could just check discrim is 0

message = ctx.interaction.original_response()
await message.add_reaction("👍") # type: ignore

somber pelican
#

That's because get_channel fetches from the cache, which may or may not have your channel

slate arrow
#

ok

somber pelican
#

A method which is guaranteed to return a channel is fetch_channel

slate arrow
somber pelican
#

However, you should only use fetch_channel if get_channel returns none

Have you awaited fetch_channel?

no

Yeh you should do that 💀

solemn idol

did you change get_channel to fetch_channel?

#

yes

also make sure the ID doesn't use ''

it needs to have an int not a string

It Doesnt

have you awaited fetch_channel?

slate arrow
#

mod_channel = bot.fetch_channel(int('898223478136799285'))

somber pelican
#

okay that's where the error is coming from, you need to await both .send and .fetch_channel

slate arrow
#

Okay

somber pelican
#

since they're both async and return a coroutine

solemn idol
#

just... (make it simpler for you)

bot.fetch_channel(898223478136799285)

dont pass in a string to then convert it to a string just pass in the int directly ;_;

To be clear:

When we tell you to learn Python before asking questions here, it is not meant in a derogatory way, we are not calling your dumb or incompetent. We are simply stating the fact that usage of PyCord requires a fair bit of knowledge with using OOP, Async/Await etc. in Python. If you are not comfortable with these concepts, chances are you will not understand the answers given to you in this channel.

We understand that everyone learns at a different pace, and your current knowledge with Python may have been enough so far. When we say "you need to learn Python", it is most likely a sign that we have given you an explanation that you could not understand and there is no way for us continue to help you without spoonfeeding.

slate arrow
#

I Just Havent Made A Bot For Ages

solemn idol
# slate arrow Yeah I Do

ok then do you know why we put the await before bot.fetch_channel?
and not before mod_channel?

slate arrow
#

because its awaiting for the varible to be set

#

and not waiting for the fetch

#

exactly, + it then only gets awaited when the variable is called.
