Creating Discord Music Bot, run into one too many issues

[ZFPuhi]

Body

Hello,

I wanted to try and create my own Music Bot for my discord, so that it can play music from both youtube and spotify, but unfortunately I have run into few issues along the way.
You can see the code of the whole project here > https://github.com/free-test-zfpuhi-org/Testing-01/tree/main/music_bot_discord

And below you can see the issues when I try to simply run the bot using terminal.

PS H:\REPOSITORIES\fork-bot\Testing-01\music_bot_discord> python main.py

Hi

the error is that you don't load the cogs with await.

I think you use discord.py?
Discord.py is asynchronous, which means that many of its functions and operations are designed to be non-blocking and can run concurrently with other parts of your code. In asynchronous programming with discord.py, you typically use the await keyword to execute coroutine functions, such as when loading cogs.

To fix this error, you add the await keyword, like this:

for extension in extensions:
    await bot.load_extension(extension)

An additional possible error would be the bot via. start function to start. Use the run function.
await bot.run(token)

https://discordpy.readthedocs.io/en/stable/api.html?highlight=run#discord.Client.run

Have a nice day!

Now your extensions be loading..
As i said is discord.py asynchronous. Please made the function to a async function.

For example:

async def setup(bot):
    await bot.add_cog(MusicHelp(bot))

async def setup(bot):
    await bot.add_cog(MusicPlay(bot))

to load your extensions correctly without errors.

I'm sure your code will work then. This means that your bot starts and the commands work - but I haven't looked at the code of the commands and you may need to edit them.

Have a nice day!

I did few changes and merged the latest ones in the repo.

Now when I run the main.py I get the following:

PS H:\REPOSITORIES\fork-bot\Testing-01\music_bot_discord> python main.py
Extension 'music_help' loaded successfully.
Spotify Client ID: '1234'
Spotify Client Secret: '1234'
Extension 'music_play' loaded successfully.

    raise RuntimeError(
RuntimeError: asyncio.run() cannot be called from a running event loop
sys:1: RuntimeWarning: coroutine 'Client.run.<locals>.runner' was never awaited

The code is as follows:

import discord
from discord.ext import commands
import traceback
import logging
import asyncio

logging.basicConfig(level=logging.INFO)
# Function to read token from .tokens file
def read_token_from_file():
    with open('.tokens', 'r') as file:
        return file.read().strip()
# Define intents
intents = discord.Intents.default()
intents.message_content = True
bot = commands.Bot(command_prefix='!', intents=intents)
# Remove the default help command
bot.remove_command("help")
# Load extensions
async def load_extensions():
    extensions = ["music_help", "music_play"]
    for extension in extensions:
        try:
            await bot.load_extension(extension)
            print(f"Extension '{extension}' loaded successfully.")
        except Exception as e:
            print(f"Failed to load extension '{extension}': {e}")
            traceback.print_exc()
# Get the token from the file
token = read_token_from_file()
#bot.run(read_token_from_file())
# Run the client with the token
async def main():
    await load_extensions()
    await bot.run(token)
# Call the main coroutine directly
if __name__ == "__main__":
    asyncio.run(main())

If I do the following adjustment:

async def load_extensions():
    extensions = ["music_help", "music_play"]
    for extension in extensions:
        try:
            await bot.load_extension(extension)
            print(f"Extension '{extension}' loaded successfully.")
        except Exception as e:
            print(f"Failed to load extension '{extension}': {e}")
            traceback.print_exc()
            await load_extensions()
            await bot.run(token)
token = read_token_from_file()
if __name__ == "__main__":
    asyncio.run(load_extensions())

I get the following output:

PS H:\REPOSITORIES\fork-bot\Testing-01\music_bot_discord> python main.py
Extension 'music_help' loaded successfully.
Spotify Client ID: '1234'
Spotify Client Secret: '1234'
Extension 'music_play' loaded successfully.

But the bot does not start.

Hi,

unfortunately I can't always help you, when you want to change anything in your code.

That is not the goal for this forum. In this forum we want to help people, if there have any trouble with there code or have questions but not for every change in their code.

You can google your error and find out how you can fix this error. A good help forum is the stackoverflow forum. I'm sure that the error, that you get there answered is.

Have a nice day!

In my latest reply, I simply wanted to share that when I change the code as mentioned to fix the runtime and run the main.py the bot loads everything including the credentials but stops working afterwards without any output why it dies.

@Milyaket - thanks for taking the time to debug and engage with this Discussion!

@ZFPuhi - were you able to successfully build the music bot in Discord? It sounds like a great idea.
