Application doesn't respond (discord.py v2.0.0)

[justary27]

I'm migrating to v2.0.0. While trying to send an embed via @hybrid_command, I get Application didn't respond; the embed gets sent tho!

Here's an example command (part of a cog):

@hybrid_command(name="intro")
async def send_name(self, ctx):
  embed = Embed(title="Intro", description="Hello from bot!")
  await ctx.send(embed=embed)

I have tried ctx.respond, ctx.reply (from StackOverflow).

did ya try to add ctx.defer()?

[justary27]

Well I tried this before coming back here today and yes, ctx.defer() does the job. Not sure if it's good practice as Rapptz has added a thumbs down :) Anyways, thanks!

It's a thumbs down because ctx.send responds to the interaction already. If this actually solved the issue then, on top of the syntax error in the original snippet, it wasn't the actual code being used.

[justary27]

Well the original code is this:

@hybrid_command(name="invite", with_app_command=True, description="Receive the bot's invite link in your DM.")
    async def invite_bot(self, ctx):
        """
        The invite command, instantly generates bot's invite link.
        """

        invite_url = discord.utils.oauth_url(client_id="CLIENT_ID")
        embed = discord.Embed(title="Invite link", description="", color=discord.Color.from_rgb(255, 175, 175))
        embed.add_field(name="Here's my invite link!",
                        value=f"[**Click here to invite**]({invite_url})")
        await ctx.send(embed=embed)

I added ctx.defer(), after ctx.send() and it solves the problem, dunno why tho.

[jackthenewbie]

probably something else in his code actually caused the problem, dont know where, but hey it works:)

what wait? =

[justary27]

Well, it was a typo while typing here :)

[staciax]

hybird command I'm not sure if it needs to sync or not.

# in class bot
 async def setup_hook(self):
        await self.tree.sync()

[lol219]

Don't put syncing in startup, it's just make everything worse

[staciax]

setup_hook is special method

[SawshaDev]

Auto syncing should not be done. just because it's in setup_hook does not make it good to auto sync.
you should only sync in a command just like a regular text based commands

[justary27]

Well, you don't need to do that, the problem isn't that the command isn't registered!
