im fairly new to coding in general and recently started trying to code my own bot. Almost all of the tutorials i have seen use the ctx command however, whenever i use it i get this error:
"NameError: name 'ctx' is not defined"
Here is part of my code that uses the ctx command. The aim is to get it to delete the last 3 messages sent.
@client.event
async def purge(ctx):
"""clear 3 messages from current channel"""
channel = ctx.message.channel
await ctx.message.delete()
await channel.purge(limit=3, check=None, before=None)
return True
@client.event
async def on_message(message):
if message.content.startswith("purge"):
await purge(ctx)
client.run(os.environ['TOKEN'])
Full error:
Ignoring exception in on_message
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "/opt/virtualenvs/python3/lib/python3.8/site-packages/discord/client.py", line 343, in _run_event
await coro(*args, **kwargs)
File "main.py", line 31, in on_message
await purge(ctx)
NameError: name 'ctx' is not defined
I'm hosting the server on repl.it if that makes any difference and as i said, im pretty new to coding so it's possible i have missed something very obvious, any help is appreciated. ^_^
A fix to that is:
async def purge(message):
await message.delete()
channel = message.channel
await channel.purge(limit=3)
@client.event
async def on_message(message):
if message.content.startswith("purge"):
await purge(message)
The problem is the on_message
function uses message
and not ctx
. Replacing message with ctx
wont work because im pretty sure the on_message
cant use ctx
