Discord.py : coroutine was never awaited

December 5, 2022

Can’t seem to fix this code where I’m trying to get the name of the discord server from it’s invite link.

import discord
from discord.ext import commands

intents = discord.Intents.default()
intents.message_content = True
client = discord.Client(intents=intents)

async def get_invite_name(link):
    name = await client.fetch_invite(link).guild.name
    return name

print(get_invite_name('https://discord.com/invite/veefriends'))

Tried putting await infront of client.fetch_invite(link).guild.name but it didn’t work. I don’t understand async.

Tried what @matthew-barlowe suggested but it spit out more errors –

  File "~/DLG/sandbox.py", line 14, in <module>
    print(asyncio.run(get_invite_name('https://discord.com/invite/veefriends')))
  File "/usr/lib/python3.10/asyncio/runners.py", line 44, in run
    return loop.run_until_complete(main)
  File "/usr/lib/python3.10/asyncio/base_events.py", line 646, in run_until_complete
    return future.result()
  File "~/DLG/sandbox.py", line 12, in get_invite_name
    return await invite.guild.name
AttributeError: 'coroutine' object has no attribute 'guild'
sys:1: RuntimeWarning: coroutine 'Client.fetch_invite' was never awaited

>Solution :

You have to await the async wrapper function get_invite_name as well. Running it in asyncio.run(get_invite_name('https://discord.com/invite/veefriends')) will handle that in a non async setting. You will need to import asyncio as well.

import discord
import asyncio
from discord.ext import commands

intents = discord.Intents.default()
intents.message_content = True
client = discord.Client(intents=intents)

async def get_invite_name(link):
    response = await client.fetch_invite(link)
    name = response.guild.name
    return name

print(asyncio.run(get_invite_name('https://discord.com/invite/veefriends')))

If you were calling it in another async function then just await get_invite_name('https://discord.com/invite/veefriends') would be sufficient
