Ok, so I’m working with py-cord and am having this annoying issue with my help command. I’ve attatched a screenshot displaying the issue.

Basically there is a string displaying that shouldn’t be and I’m trying to figure out what is causing it to display. Does anybody know what is causing it as I have no idea where to even begin on this.

I’m aware of a lack of research displayed, but that is due entirely to the fact that I literally have no idea where to even begin trying to figure this one out. It’s the first time I’ve ever seen this happen with python discord bots so I’m completely stumped.

Any tips or pointers to help me figure this one out would be much appreciated.

The string in mention is: <function command at 0x7f5e402b46a8>.

Here is my code:

client = commands.Bot(
    command_prefix=commands.when_mentioned_or('{}'.format(PREFIX)),
    description='Multi-purpose discord bot built in discord.py\n\n**Version**: {}\n**Repo**: [Socket-Development/Socket-Discord-Bot]({})'.format(CLIENT_VERSION, GITHUB_REPO),
    activity=activity,
    status=discord.Status.online
)

  
class Help(commands.Cog):
    def __init__(self, client):
        self.client = client

class CustomHelp(commands.MinimalHelpCommand):
    async def send_pages(self):
        destination = self.get_destination()
        embed = discord.Embed(color=BLUE, description='{}'.format(commands.command))
        embed.set_thumbnail(url='{}'.format(EMBED_THUMBNAIL))
        for page in self.paginator.pages:
            embed.description += page
            await destination.send(embed=embed)

client.help_command = CustomHelp()

for filename in os.listdir('./cogs'):
    if filename.endswith('.py'):
        client.load_extension('cogs.{}'.format(filename[:-3]))
        print('Loaded cogs.{}'.format(filename[:-3]))
    else:
        print('Unable to load cogs.{}'.format(filename[:-3]))
                
debug_logger = logging.getLogger('discord')
debug_logger.setLevel(logging.DEBUG)
debug_handler = logging.FileHandler(filename='debug.log', encoding='utf-8', mode='w')
debug_handler.setFormatter(logging.Formatter('%(asctime)s:%(levelname)s:%(name)s: %(message)s'))
debug_logger.addHandler(debug_handler)
        
client.run('{}'.format(TOKEN))

I’m running off of Python 3.6.8 and am using the py-cord library.

>Solution :

Perhaps, try changing

class CustomHelp(commands.MinimalHelpCommand):
    async def send_pages(self):
        ...
    embed = discord.Embed(color=BLUE, description='{}'.format(commands.command))
    ...

to

class CustomHelp(commands.MinimalHelpCommand):
    async def send_pages(self):
        ...
    embed = discord.Embed(color=BLUE, description='')
    ...
