I have a question, in my code i get an error: TypeError: export() got an unexpected keyword argument 'set_timezone' And i really dont know how to fix it. I want to archive a channel in discord with using discord.py and the module chat_exporter. But there is a TypeError within the set timezone.

Here is the code:

@client.command()
@commands.has_role(MANAGEMENT_ROLE_ID)
async def archive(channel, archive_channel):
        if channel and archive_channel:
            transcript = await chat_exporter.export(channel, set_timezone='UTC')
            transcript_file = discord.File(io.BytesIO(transcript.encode()), filename=f"{channel.name}.html")
            await archive_channel.send(file=transcript_file)

And that is the console log

Ignoring exception in command archive:
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "C:\Users\Jonas\AppData\Local\Packages\PythonSoftwareFoundation.Python.3.9_qbz5n2kfra8p0\LocalCache\local-packages\Python39\site-packages\discord\ext\commands\core.py", line 85, in wrapped
    ret = await coro(*args, **kwargs)
  File "d:\Discord\discord Bots\derzockereckenbot 2.0\main.py", line 134, in archive
    transcript = await chat_exporter.export(channel, set_timezone='UTC')
TypeError: export() got an unexpected keyword argument 'set_timezone'

The above exception was the direct cause of the following exception:

Traceback (most recent call last):

    raise CommandInvokeError(exc) from exc
discord.ext.commands.errors.CommandInvokeError: Command raised an exception: TypeError: export() got an unexpected keyword argument 'set_timezone'

Can please anyone help me?

TypeError: func() got an unexpected keyword argument 'x' means that you've passed a keyword to the function which isn't in the parameters of the function. In your case it's set_timezone.

If you look at the function definition, you can see there's no kwarg called set_timezone:

async def export(
    channel: discord.TextChannel,
    limit: Optional[int] = None,
    tz_info="UTC",
    guild: Optional[discord.Guild] = None,
):

Instead it's tz_info. So, for your code:

transcript = await chat_exporter.export(channel, tz_info="UTC")

For UTC you don't even need to pass a value for tz_info, because the default value is already UTC.

How i see from documentation:

Optional Argument(s): limit: Integer value to set the limit (amount of messages) the chat exporter gathers when grabbing the history (default=unlimited). tz_info: String value of a TZ Database name to set a custom timezone for the exported messages (default=UTC) military_time: Boolean value to set a 24h format for times within your exported chat (default=False | 12h format) bot: commands.Bot object to gather members who are no longer in your guild.

example:

@bot.command()
async def save(ctx: commands.Context, limit: int, tz_info: str, military_time: bool):
    transcript = await chat_exporter.export(
        ctx.channel,
        limit=limit,
        tz_info=tz_info,
        military_time=military_time
        bot=bot,
    )

So may be you should use tz_info instead of set_timezone?
