如何让机器人在 discord.py 中编辑其消息？

Question

I've tried looking at other solutions but they havent worked for me. What im trying to do is make the bot edit its own message at a slight delay.

  if message.content.startswith('(dev)messageedit'):
    await message.channel.send('old message')
    time.sleep(1)
    await message.edit('new message')

The error im getting is:

TypeError: edit() takes 1 positional argument but 2 were given

It would be great if you could help me!

If you take a look at the docs, you'll see that you need to specify what you are editing in the message. In your case that would be the content .

https://discordpy.readthedocs.io/en/master/api.html?highlight=edit#discord.Message.edit

await message.edit(content='new message')

I am not sure from your question if you want to edit the message you send first with old_message , but if you do, you would also need to define it first:

old_message = await message.channel.send('old message')

await old_message.edit(content='new message')

Also, sidenote, I would recommend using asyncio.sleep instead of time.sleep , since time.sleep is blocking your bot from doing other things.
