Hey everyone! I’m having a bit of trouble with my new Discord bot. I’ve made bots before, but this time I wanted to try out slash commands. I wrote some code for it, but when I try to run it, I get this weird error about unclosed sessions and connectors. Here’s a simplified version of what I’m working with:
import fancybot
mybot = fancybot.Bot(token='supersecrettoken')
@mybot.slashcommand('hello')
async def greet(ctx):
await ctx.reply('Hey there!')
@mybot.slashcommand('goodbye')
async def farewell(ctx):
await ctx.reply('See you later!')
When I run this, it just gives me some confusing output about unclosed stuff and then closes. Am I missing something obvious? Maybe I forgot to add a line to actually start the bot? Any help would be awesome!
It appears you’ve overlooked a crucial step in your bot setup. The error regarding unclosed sessions suggests that you’re not properly initializing or closing the bot’s connection. To resolve this, ensure you’re using an asynchronous context manager or explicitly closing the bot session. Here’s a modified version of your code that should work:
import asyncio
import fancybot
async def main():
async with fancybot.Bot(token='supersecrettoken') as mybot:
@mybot.slashcommand('hello')
async def greet(ctx):
await ctx.reply('Hey there!')
@mybot.slashcommand('goodbye')
async def farewell(ctx):
await ctx.reply('See you later!')
await mybot.start()
asyncio.run(main())
This approach ensures proper resource management and should resolve the unclosed session issue you’re experiencing.
As someone who’s been through the Discord bot development process a few times, I can relate to your frustration. The unclosed sessions error is a common hiccup when working with async libraries. Here’s what I’ve found helpful:
Make sure you’re properly closing your bot session. You can do this by wrapping your bot setup in an async context manager or using a try-finally block to ensure cleanup.
Also, don’t forget to actually start your bot! Add mybot.run() at the end of your script. This is crucial for getting your bot online and responding to commands.
One last tip: double-check your indentation. Python can be finicky about that, and it’s easy to miss a misaligned block when you’re focused on the logic.
Keep at it, and don’t hesitate to ask if you hit any more snags. Discord bot development can be tricky, but it’s rewarding once you get it working!
Hey neo_movies! sounds like u might be missing the run command at the end. try adding ‘mybot.run()’ after ur slash command definitions. that usually kicks off the bot and keeps it running. hope this helps, lemme kno if u need anything else!
