Discord Bots are not recognized as Bots in Python code-CodePudding

I am writing a discordbot bot the function user.bot isnt working correctly

@client.event
async on_reaction_add(reaction, user):
     if not user.bot:
          await client.wait_until_ready()
     try:
          channel = client.get_channel(welcome_channel_id)
              try:
                  await channel.send(message)
                  await reaction.remove(user)
              except Exception as e
                  raise e
              except Exception as e
                  raise e

Everything works accept the if statement, I create a message with a reaction with a bot but the bots reaction is removed. I am using Python 3.8. If u need any extra information pls tell me.

CodePudding user response：

Your try block executed every time, after the if statement is evaluated.

I'm assuming it should only execute if the if statement evaluates to true:

if not user.bot:
     await client.wait_until_ready()
     try:
          channel = client.get_channel(welcome_channel_id)
          await channel.send(message)
          await reaction.remove(user)
      except Exception as e
              raise e

But raise e negates the whole point of using a try/catch block - it has no effect.

The above code is equivalent to

if not user.bot:
     await client.wait_until_ready()
     channel = client.get_channel(welcome_channel_id)
     await channel.send(message)
     await reaction.remove(user)
