What am I doing wrong

[tylerwight]

Hello!

This sounds like a great project and I am attempting to use it. So far I can get zero data passed between stuff and am getting errors. In order to help me understand I decided to just try and get the two example codes working, and they aren't for me. Can anyone help me see what I'm missing? I have tried both the tests verbatim and slight changes you can see below

test_bot.py:

import asyncio
import discord
from dotenv import load_dotenv
import os
import logging
from typing import Dict

from discord.ext import commands
from discord.ext.ipc.server import Server
from discord.ext.ipc.objects import ClientPayload



class MyBot(commands.Bot):
    def __init__(self) -> None:
        intents = discord.Intents.all()

        super().__init__(
            command_prefix="$.",
            intents=intents,
        )

        self.ipc = Server(self, secret_key="test")

    async def setup_hook(self) -> None:
        await self.ipc.start()

    @Server.route()
    async def get_guild_data(self):
       
        #return self.guilds
        return "test" # type: ignore
    
if __name__ == "__main__":
    logging.basicConfig(level=logging.INFO)
    load_dotenv()
    TOKEN = os.getenv('DISCORD_TOKEN')
    bot = MyBot()
    asyncio.run(bot.start(TOKEN))

test_client.py

from quart import Quart
from discord.ext.ipc.client import Client
import logging
app = Quart(__name__)
ipc = Client(secret_key="test")

@app.route("/")
async def main():
    resp = await ipc.request("get_guild_data")
    print(resp)
    return str(resp.response) # type: ignore

if __name__ == '__main__':
    logging.basicConfig(level=logging.INFO)
    app.run(host='0.0.0.0', port=8080)

Here is the log output of both of these after starting them, and then making a web request to to the quart server:

it sounds like this line is the issue:

get_guild_data raised MyBot.get_guild_data() takes 1 positional argument but 2 were given

But I cannot figure out for the life of me where it's getting passed 2 arguments

[tylerwight]

well after banging my head against this for a while, then posting this discussion -- just a few minutes later I figured it out.

It didn't fully occur to me that I had to be passing back dictionary or strings and nothing else. So In the end I found 2 main things

1. the functions in your bot are always going have these two arguments: async def get_guild_data(self,data: ClientPayload) -> Dict:
2. I cannot pass things like self.guilds because it is not a dict or string. I had to iterate through guilds to create a dict of the data I wanted.

It all makes sense in hindsight but putting my solution here incase someone else runs into this too
