slash commands dissappearing

[lost jetty]

I have the same problem

[foggy mountain]

It happens to me occasionally, I do is switch between channels on the server until it loads

If you don't have the guild specified it will take up to 1 hour to update because it's a global command

Or probably bug on discord servers 🤨

[lost jetty]

well, let's wait

[plucky timber]

it's a bug copium

[lost jetty]

is it normal that in version 2.0.0 we can no longer use the commands a prefix?

[frosty bronze]

I may be wrong but I think if you want to use both prefix and slash commands you have to use discord.ext.bridge I wanna say that was introduced with 2.0.0 b6 or b7

https://docs.pycord.dev/en/master/ext/bridge/index.html

https://guide.pycord.dev/extensions/bridge/

[lost jetty]

Thanks for this information ^^

[lost jetty]

If you don't use this, the slash and prefix commands don't work in 2.0.0?

[gentle mist]

no, you can use prefix in 2.0.0...

you need message content intent for prefix

[lost jetty]

that's to say ?

#1000336411876143186 message
I have them there normally 👀

[gentle mist]

you need that intent on in the dev portal as well

[lost jetty]

normally I activated everything on the dev portal

[foggy mountain]

I still use this very old method for prefix commands in the current version 2.0.0 and it works for me
Although I don't recommend it knowing that bridges exist (actually I just found out about bridges and I think I'll start changing my old code too)

Main File

from discord.ext import commands
bot = commands.Bot(command_prefix = '!', help_command=None)

#Legacy commands
bot.load_extension(f'cog.legacycommands')```

Cog in other file
```import discord
from discord.ext import commands

class Legacy(commands.Cog):

    def __init__(self,client):
        self.client = client

    @commands.command(name="test")
    async def test(self,ctx):
        await ctx.send(content="Hi!")

def setup(client):
    client.add_cog(Legacy(client))

[lost jetty]

WoW! unfortunately I do not use the "Cog" ...

[plucky timber]

so start using cogs

[lost jetty]

What more does it bring?

[foggy mountain]

I have been testing and this works guys

from discord.ext import commands

#Message Content must be enabled in the developer portal
intents = discord.Intents.default()
intents.message_content = True
bot = commands.Bot(commands.when_mentioned_or("!"), help_command=None, intents=intents)

@bot.command()
async def ping(ctx):
    await ctx.send("Hi!")```

[plucky timber]

cogs primarily makes it easier to categorize your classes and functions. you can avoid it but at one point it will become really messy to keep everything in your main.py, as opposed to splitting it out and keeping it organized

[lost jetty]

it's not different from my code though 🤔

[lost jetty]

must be a huge mess in my code then 😳

[lost jetty]

"Cog" serves ordered code?

[foggy mountain]

prefix doesn't work but mentioning the bot work?

[plucky timber]

wym by ordered code

[lost jetty]

I did not try 🤔 When it will be operational again I will let you know.

[lost jetty]

I'm going to find out about getting "Cog" and see if I can optimize my program with that

[foggy mountain]

If you have "Message Content Intent" enabled in the developer portal you should not see any problem, if it only works mentioning without the prefix it is because it is not enabled, although it should also notify an error when trying to execute the code.

Good luck!

[plucky timber]

cogs are just a way to add stuff to your bot without having to use a singular .py file. it does the same as adding commands any other way but make it easier to keep organized and classed appropriately. another thing with cogs is that you can make changes to a cog and then reload that specific cog for the changes to take effect without having to reboot the entire instance of the bot

[lost jetty]

and thank you for your information ^^

[lost jetty]

I'm interested in restarting a section of the program without restarting the file entirely 🤔

From what I understood anyway

[lost jetty]

the mentions also do not work

[lost jetty]

I tried with this but the prefix commands still don't work and the slash commands stop after about 1 minute

[foggy mountain]

I recommend create a post specifying the problem and errors that appear so more people can help you. I still recommend that if you had an old version of Pycord you completely uninstall it and reinstall.

In case you have Discordpy installed for some strange reason, uninstall.

[lost jetty]

I don't have it

[fast fossil]

hey idk if anyone else has this problem but like after i do one of my slash commands (testing) it disappears and shows old slash commands

[rancid mason]

just wait some minutes

[fast fossil]

i do then it disappears again...

dang

ive waited like 15 mins and still

nvm i found a fix

[tulip karma]

Ooh, what fix? I'm having a similar issue.

[frosty bronze]

Make sure you don’t have multiple instances of your bot running.

[tulip karma]

I'm not entirely sure how I would do that or where I would look? Any follow-up information you can give me? ^.^

[frosty bronze]

Usually when this happened to me ( I’ve had it happen twice now ) is my web hosting service seemed to be stuck and was hosting my not even though I had turned it off. I had to generate a new token to kill the extra hosts. But same issue that you was having. I would create a new slash command in my code. Run it locally and use it once then it would disappear.

[tulip karma]

Ooh, good to know, I'll take a look at my hosting service. Thanks much!

[tulip karma]

Hmm, that didn't seem to have any effect. I'm confused though because I have a test instance of the bot that only runs on my computer, and it isn't displaying all of one slash command group either.

And I'm certain I only have one of those running lol

[frosty bronze]

Hmm well narrowing it down. It may be helpful to post your relevant code (excluding any tokens or sensitive information)

[tulip karma]

Hmm, I'll be honest, I'm not even remotely sure where the problem might be, so I'm not sure what's relevant.

Let's see

main.py

load_dotenv()

bot = FroggeBot(
    command_prefix = ">>",
    intents = discord.Intents.all(),
    owner_id = os.getenv("ALLEGRO"),
    case_insensitive = True
)
######################################################################
# Load modules - This part is magic.

for filename in os.listdir("./cogs"):
    if filename.endswith(".py") and filename != "__init__.py":
        bot.load_extension(f"cogs.{filename[:-3]}")

######################################################################
# Ready go!

bot.run(os.getenv("DISCORD_TOKEN"))

######################################################################```

Pretty standard

Here's the Cog that's having issues.

######################################################################
class Profiles(Cog):
    """The Cog with commands invoking Profile functions.

        bot: The bot, duh. This is important and required by the superclass.

    """

    def __init__(self, bot: FroggeBot):
        """Init's the Profiles module."""

        self.bot: FroggeBot = bot

######################################################################

    # Create command group
    profiles = SlashCommandGroup(
        name="profile",
        description="Commands for profile creation."
    )

######################################################################
    @profiles.command(
        name="test",
        description="Test Me Mommy",
        guild_ids=GUILDS
    )
    async def profile_test(self, ctx: ApplicationContext):

        await ctx.respond("Testing!")
