Call global error handler only if the local command error handler didn't catch any error discor-CodePudding

Let's say I have a basic on_command_error event that acts as a global error handler:

@client.event
async def on_command_error(ctx, error):
    if isinstance(error, BadArgument):
        await ctx.reply("That input was wrong!")
        return
    elif isinstance(error, NotFound):
        await ctx.reply("I couldn't find that member!")
        return
    raise error

And I also have a command with a local error handler, like this:

@client.command()
async def number(ctx, amount):
    if not amount.isnumeric():
        raise BadArgument
    ctx.guild.get_member(1) #creating a NotFound error

@number.error
async def number_error(ctx, error):
    if isinstance(error, BadArgument):
        await ctx.reply("This is a special answer!")

Is it possible to make it so that, if the local error handler doesn't catch any error, then it calls the global error handler?

In this case, the ideal scenario would be: if the command raises BadArgument, then it should reply with "This is a special answer!" from the local error handler, and that's it.

But if it raises NotFound, then it should reply "I couldn't find that member!", from the global error handler.

CodePudding user response：

In your case, you can use it like this:

@number.error
async def number_error(ctx, error):
    if isinstance(error, BadArgument):
        await ctx.reply("This is a special answer!")
        ctx._ignore_me_ = True

@client.event
async def on_command_error(ctx, error):
    if hasattr(ctx, '_ignore_me_'):
        return
