Discord.py ctx.guild.edit works but not self.bot.guild.edit?

Question

Like the title says, I'm trying to do guild edits but on an events. Here's part of my code:

    @commands.guild_only()
    async def on_ready(self):
    server = self.bot.get_guild("serverid")
        while True:
            await self.bot.guild.edit(guild=server, name="foo")
            await asyncio.sleep(1)
            await self.bot.guild.edit(guild=server, name="bar")
            await asyncio.sleep(1)

I've already tested it with a standalone command, so I know that ctx.guild.edit works but I'm not sure how to get it to work in an event.

Answer 1

You should call edit directly from the Guild object server

async def on_ready(self):
server = self.bot.get_guild(SERVER_ID)
while server is not None:
    await server.edit(name="foo")
    await asyncio.sleep(1)
    await server.edit(name="bar")
    await asyncio.sleep(1)

Also, make sure that you're passing the id of the guild as an int and not a string, and the guild_only decorator should only be used on commands.
