I was just writing a bot with discord.py but there seems to be a problem in my help command because for some reason the embed which I wish to send is not showing up.
This is my code for the help command:
@client.command(aliases=["h"])
async def bothelp(ctx):
await ctx.send("help command coming soon!")
embed = discord.Embed(title = "Help for the bot", description = "", color = discord.Colour.purple())
embed.add_field(name = "Command List", value = "", inline = False)
embed.add_field(name = "#hello", value = "Replies with a greeting. \nAliases: hey, hi", inline = True)
embed.add_field(name = "#whois <mention>", value = "Gives the user info of the member mentioned. \nAliases: user, info", inline = True)
embed.add_field(name = "#clear (number)", value = "Clears the number of messages given by the user. If number is not entered, deletes the most recent message. \nAliases = c \nPermissions = Manage Messages", inline = True)
embed.add_field(name = "#kick (mention)", value = "Kicks the member mentioned. \nAliases: k \n Permissions: Kick Members", inline = True)
embed.add_field(name = "#ban (mention)", value = "Bans the member mentioned. \nAliases: b \n Permissions: Ban Members", inline = True)
embed.add_field(name = "#unban (username with tag)", value = "Unbans the member specified. \nAliases: ub \n Permissions: Ban Members", inline = True)
embed.set_footer(icon_url = ctx.author.avatar_url, text = f"Requested by {ctx.author.name}")
await ctx.send(embed=embed)
However, the embed does not get posted. I tried finding the error but I couldn't. Could someone please help me out?
Thanks!
Field values can not be None or empty string, your 1st field has no value. Add some value to it
Below is the revised code:
@client.command(aliases=["h"])
async def bothelp(ctx):
await ctx.send("help command coming soon!")
embed = discord.Embed(title = "Help for the bot", description = "", color = discord.Colour.purple())
embed.add_field(name = "Command List", value = "Here are all commands", inline = False)
embed.add_field(name = "#hello", value = "Replies with a greeting. \nAliases: hey, hi", inline = True)
embed.add_field(name = "#whois <mention>", value = "Gives the user info of the member mentioned. \nAliases: user, info", inline = True)
embed.add_field(name = "#clear (number)", value = "Clears the number of messages given by the user. If number is not entered, deletes the most recent message. \nAliases = c \nPermissions = Manage Messages", inline = True)
embed.add_field(name = "#kick (mention)", value = "Kicks the member mentioned. \nAliases: k \n Permissions: Kick Members", inline = True)
embed.add_field(name = "#ban (mention)", value = "Bans the member mentioned. \nAliases: b \n Permissions: Ban Members", inline = True)
embed.add_field(name = "#unban (username with tag)", value = "Unbans the member specified. \nAliases: ub \n Permissions: Ban Members", inline = True)
embed.set_footer(icon_url = ctx.author.avatar_url, text = f"Requested by {ctx.author.name}")
await ctx.send(embed=embed)
