Python Discord Bot on Heroku doesn't work

I deployed Discord on Heroku successfully, but it still doesn't work. It runs fine locally, but I can't get response from Heroku hosted variant. Here's Github repository: https://github.com/MidnightSonor/malifaux_discord_bot. Here's runtime log.

Solution

  • Thanks to @Chris and @DenverCoder1 I got the answer. But it's mostly general recommendations and notes for discord.py and heroku firsttimers:

    1. Check which project you deploy! You can change it by heroku remote.
    2. Check your bot's intents both on Discord Developer Portal and in code when you declare client or bot types! I used discord.Client(intents=discord.Intents.all()) for this purpose.
    3. Read your runtime logs! Man, Im blind.
