Trying To Make a Discord Bot – Error Role Not Found
Question:
I have asked this question on the Replit forum but the developers are unsure of the problem.
My friend and I want to add a function to our bot that gives a user the role Baguette_Team, and posts a message saying that they received the role if they post a message that says I love baguettes!.
Code
import os, re, discord
from discord.ext import commands
DISCORD_TOKEN = os.getenv("DISCORD_TOKEN")
client =
commands.Bot(command_prefix="!", intents= discord.Intents.all())
@client.event
async def on_ready():
print(f'We have logged in as {client.user}')
@client.event
async def on_message(message):
print("message was: " + message.content)
if message.author == client.user:
return
if message.content == 'I love baguettes!':
role = message.guild.get_role(1085983212855115887)
#discord.utils.get(message.guild.roles, id="1085983212855115887")
await message.author.add_roles(message.author, role, reason="You said the magic words!", atomic=True)
await message.channel.send('So do I! In fact, I have given you the Baguette Team role!')
client.run(DISCORD_TOKEN)

Answers:
What the error most likely means
The error most likely means that the role wasn’t found, or you’re not adding the role properly. Assuming you have the right role ID,
How to get a role
The way that you’re getting the role is correct. In the docs you get the role from the guild by Guild.get_role(role_id) (non-async command).
You could alternatively use discord.utils.get if that isn’t working.
How to add a role to a user
This is where the issue likely is. You’re using the right command, but the parameters are incorrect. In the docs it shows that you use the following: await add_roles(*roles, reason=None, atomic=True). However, you put message.author as the first positional parameter. Instead, change it to the role.
For example:
await message.author.add_roles(role, reason="You said the magic words!", atomic=True)
Just remove the message.author from the positional arguments.
