How to check if the author have a specific role in list of roles?

Question

So, I was trying to make a check function when if you have a role in a list of role it will work (with a user dev id on the function aswell to bypass it) but it didn't work out.

mod_roles = [792816637488281642,
             792626568488713617,
             827277277488728524]

devs = [341837496763678731,
        382761658858276714]


def is_mod():
  def predicate(ctx):
    if ctx.author.id not in config.devs \
     and any(role.id not in config.mod_roles for role in ctx.author.roles):
      raise
    else:
      return True
  return commands.check(predicate)

@checks.is_mod()
@bot.command()
async def test(ctx):
  await ctx.send("testing")

When I ran it:

discord.ext.commands.errors.CheckFailure: The check functions for command test failed.

If you want to keep your lists of IDs and only allow them to execute a command you can built in a different check.

For that we have to check the id of the command author .

Have a look at the following code:

mod_roles = [] # Insert IDs
devs = [] # Insert IDs
    
@bot.command()
async def test(ctx):
    user = ctx.author.id # Check the ID of the user
    if user in mod_roles or devs: # If mod or dev
        await ctx.send("Testing")
    else:
        return await ctx.send("You are not allowed to use the command") # No Mod/Dev
