guild.fetch_members() returns an empty list when scraping is used

[LostXOR]

Summary

guild.fetch_members() returns an empty list when scraping is used.

Reproduction Steps

Use guild.fetch_members() on any guild where the user does not have mod permissions, or use guild.fetch_members(force_scraping = True) on any guild. Even if the guild has members it will return an empty list. This happens even with guild.fetch_members(channels = guild.channels).

Code

import discord

client = discord.Client()

@client.event
async def on_ready():
    for guild in client.guilds:
        members = await guild.fetch_members(channels = guild.channels, force_scraping = True)
        print(len(members))

client.run("token")

Expected Results

The code prints how many members are in each guild the user is in.

Actual Results

The code prints 0 for every guild.

As I understand from the expected result, you want to get the len() - aka the count - of every guild's members that the account is in. You can simply avoid fetching members. Just iterate over the guilds and use len() over .members. Example:

for guild in bot.guilds:
  print(len(guild.members))

[dolfies]

Don't do this, use guild.member_count

[jonnytracker]

when you request it several times it works

Don't do that either 🙃

I want to get every user in the guild, not the number of users. The length is just how I'm checking if it was successful.

Hi! if you want to get all members of a guild, you could use something like this:

import discord

client = discord.Client()

@client.event
async def on_ready():
    guild1 = bot.get_guild(ENTER_GUILD_ID)
    for member in guild1.members:
        print(member.name) # or some other Stuff

client.run("token")

I hope I didn't screw it up, I couldn't debug this since I'm on a mobile.

The last code works only if the number of members is less than 1k members. Over it doesn't scrape anything

I have the same problem with guild.fetch_members(force_scraping = True), and In addition to this when I use ctx.guild as Guild to fetching, it returns ClientException: Fetching members failed error

The logs should provide more information.

You... log to a file and attach it?

I'm completely unable to reproduce this and nobody has provided any reproduction code that doesn't have basic errors. Closing for now.

I seem to get discord.errors.ClientException: Fetching members failed.

Code: `import logging logging.basicConfig(filename='example.log', encoding='utf-8', level=logging.DEBUG)

    guild1 = client.get_guild(728174834760155137)
    print(guild1)
    members = await guild1.fetch_members()
    print(len(members))
    #print(str(lenmembersfetched)+' members fetched from ' + serverNames[guild_id])
    for member in guild1.members:
            userList.append(member.id)
            print(member.id)

`

Log is attached. example.log
