Probably a very easy question to answer, but I want to send a message to a user after a certain time. For this I read his ID from a JSON. Problem with this? You cannot append a send
to a str
or this error is then spit out.
I have already tried to convert the whole thing, but without success. Can someone give me a hint here?
The code:
@commands.Cog.listener() async def on_ready(self): period = 10 # 86400.0 while 3: with open('work_data/statues.json') as j: u_data = json.load(j) for user in list(u_data.keys()): # read user, ID comes out if you do print(user) if dt.datetime.now().timestamp() - u_data[user][0]['last_seen'] >= period: await user.send(f"{user}, you haven't shown up at work for 24 hours and have been fired.") # part that doesn't work await asyncio.sleep(2) u_data.pop(user) write_json(u_data) await asyncio.sleep(0.1)
The JSON:
{ "30288509151923XXXX": [ # Last 4 numbers removed because privacy. { # rest not relevant } ] }
The error message:
Ignoring exception in on_ready Traceback (most recent call last): File "C:UsersMikePycharmProjectsMikeBotvenvlibsite-packagesdisnakeclient.py", line 505, in _run_event await coro(*args, **kwargs) File "C:UsersMikePycharmProjectsMikeBotcogswork.py", line 308, in on_ready await user.send(f"{user}, you haven't shown up at work for 24 hours and have been fired.") AttributeError: 'str' object has no attribute 'send'

Answer
It looks like you are using disnake
instead of discord.py
.
You can have a look at their docs. Here we learn something about fetch_user, get_user or getch_user which will first check the cache and then fetch the user if needed.
In your example, you can use the following:
await self.bot.getch_user(user) # asynchronous, needs to be awaited
