General Instructions
If you want to code a new feature for this bot, create a .py file in feature folder.
Import the file in main.py and then create a command for the bot!
Note: In discord.py overriding the default provided on_message forbids any extra commands from running. To fix this, add a bot.process_commands(message) line at the end of your on_message. I would recommend not to use this as commands can satisfy most of your needs
How it works
There are 2 main files in this repository: main.py and main.yml.
The main.py file contains the logic of the bot and the main.yml contains instructions to setup the CI pipeline for github.
The main.yml is based on the standard template provided by GitHub.
push:
branches: [ main ]
pull_request:
branches: [ main ]
The above code indicates that the set of instructions provided will trigger on every push and an accepted pull__request.
workflow_dispatch:
schedule:
- cron: '0 */6 * * *'
This peice of code indicates that the workflow dispatch is scheduled for every six hours. For more information on cron visit https://crontab.guru/. This part of code basically helps keep the bot up 24x7. The base code is under a event loop, so it doesn't terminate and Github tends to kill any processes that run for more than 6hrs, so this code retriggers the CI pipline after every six hours.
env: # Or as an environment variable
BOT_TOKEN: ${{ secrets.BOT_TOKEN }}
run: |
echo Add other actions to build,
echo test, and deploy your project.
echo "$BOT_TOKEN"
pip install discord
pip install python-dotenv
python main.py
The above code are the main set of instructions that are to be run by the bot.
First the BOT_TOKEN, the repo secret(provided by discord), has to be loaded as an enviroment variable so that the python program can have access to it.
