Message Embeds parameter #1048

Closed Werseter closed 6 years ago

Werseter commented 6 years ago

I am in process of migrating my bot from 0.16 async version to 1.0.0 rewrite. I've been using a custom wrapper to send embeds along the text messages. I've noticed that rewrite has embeds parameter available, but it doesn't seem to work.

await channel.send(msg, embed=embeds[0]) - this works correctly, as expected await channel.send(msg, embeds=embeds) - results in no message being sent.

you need to give .send() an embed object to the kwarg embed. You can not send multiple embeds.

Embeds is not a valid kwarg.

These kind of questions are better suited to the discord.py discord server. https://discord.gg/r3sSKJJ

According to rewrite api docs - this is a valid option.

Werseter commented 6 years ago

embed (Embed) – The rich embed for the content to send. This cannot be mixed with embeds parameter.
embeds (List[Embed]) – A list of embeds to send with the content. Maximum of 10. This cannot be mixed with the embed parameter.

embeds are for webhooks, not channels.

For the record, these are the docs for TextChannel.send: http://discordpy.readthedocs.io/en/rewrite/api.html#discord.TextChannel.send

Note that there is no mention of an embeds parameter.
