Using the Even Decorator in a child class inheriting from discord.ext.commands.Bot

[i11matic]

Hi All,

Im trying to use the event decorator and I am having issues

import os
import json
from discord.ext import commands
from bot.utils import RssReader


class DiscordRssBot(commands.Bot):
  def __init__(self, *args, **kwargs):
    super().__init__(*args, **kwargs)
    self.foo = 'foo'
    @self.event()
    async def on_ready():
        print('Logged in as')
        print(self.user.name)
        print(self.user.id)
        print('-----------')
        self.add_command(self.list_torrents)
        self.add_command(self.get_rss_info)

Could someone explain how to use the decorator in my use case please?
https://discordpy.readthedocs.io/en/latest/ext/commands/api.html#discord.ext.commands.Bot.event

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "main.py", line 10, in <module>
    client = DiscordRssBot(
  File "/home/runner/discordrssbotpy/bot/discordrssbot.py", line 11, in __init__
    @commands.Bot.event(self)
TypeError: event() missing 1 required positional argument: 'coro'

when I do not use the decorator like this

class DiscordRssBot(commands.Bot):
  def __init__(self, *args, **kwargs):
    super().__init__(*args, **kwargs)
    self.foo = 'foo'
    
    async def on_ready():
        print('Logged in as')
        print(self.user.name)
        print(self.user.id)
        print('-----------')
        self.add_command(self.list_torrents)
        self.add_command(self.get_rss_info)

My code runs, however the code inside the on_ready() method never gets printed. The print statement to print the the "foo" property is printed though.

import os
import discord
from bot.discordrssbot import DiscordRssBot

intents = discord.Intents.default()
intents.members = False

description = "Discord RSS Client"

client = DiscordRssBot(
    command_prefix='!', description=description, intents=intents)

print(client.foo)
client.run(os.getenv("DISCORD_TOKEN"))

commands.Bot.event isn't callable, remove the parenthesis from it.
