Bot logs in but does not react to messages. Revised code:
import discord; c=discord.Client(); @c.event async def on_ready(): print('Up'); @c.event async def on_message(m): await m.channel.send('Hi'); c.run('tk')
I ran into a similar issue recently. The problem turned out to be related to Discord’s updated gateway intents. Since Discord now requires explicit permission to receive message content, I had to modify my code to include those intents explicitly. By initializing the client with an intents object that had message_content enabled, my bot started working as expected. I also checked the settings on the Discord Developer Portal to ensure that the appropriate intents were enabled there as well. This approach resolved the issue for me.
It appears that the problem may be related to how Discord now requires bots to explicitly define intents. In my experience, updating the client initialization to include the proper intents has been key to resolving similar issues. When I encountered this situation, I used discord.Intents.default() and enabled the message content intent before logging in the bot. Also, ensuring that the corresponding intents are enabled in the Discord Developer Portal was essential. These changes have proven effective in restoring functionality for my bot.
hey, i had the same issuu, fixed it enblng the message_contnt intent in the dashboard and code. might b worth double checkin the latest discord settings
Based on my experience, updating the bot’s intents settings and verifying the configuration on both the code side and the Developer Portal was the key to getting back functionality. I encountered a similar problem when my bot would connect but not respond. After some troubleshooting, I realized that explicitly setting the required intents, especially for accessing message content, was necessary. I changed my client initialization to include an intents object with the message content intent enabled and checked that the settings in the Developer Portal matched. This adjustment resolved the issue and allowed the bot to process commands properly.
The issue can also arise from subtle differences in how event handling is processed in the latest version of the library. In my case, I initially overlooked the need for specific flags in the client’s configuration. Adjusting the client initialization to explicitly define all necessary permissions resolved the problem. It is essential to verify the bot’s settings on the Developer Portal in tandem with these code changes. Additionally, adding a check to ignore messages from the bot itself is good practice, preventing potential recursive loops which may cause unexpected behavior.
