[Application] Error in apply and setapply questions

Closed this issue 4 years ago · 28 comments

After I set custom questions, an error happened for apply and setapply questions. I provided the traceback log below.

Exception in command 'apply'

I think you might have to reinstall the cog because the questions are saved in config. But I'll handle these exceptions so the commands would work later today.

I think you might have to reinstall the cog because the questions are saved in config. But I'll handle these exceptions so the commands would work later today.

so, i updated it after you released the new one. it still seems to error. I tried reinstalling it but still says the same thing.

sighs, I'll try to figure something out... Sorry for the complications

Answer 4 · 2021-02-23T09:21:13.000Z

I'm happy to help out with this. I'm not sure how this cog works yet, but from a quick look, question[0] does have a value, but its empty ''. I believe that will convert to NoneType, so we can just check if it exists in the function

Answer 5 · 2021-02-23T09:36:42.000Z

I'm happy to help out with this. I'm not sure how this cog works yet, but from a quick look, question[0] does have a value, but its empty ''. I believe that will convert to NoneType, so we can just check if it exists in the function

The problem is that I rewrote the way the cog had the questions saved. Basically, I added questions parameter in self.config.register_guild which wasn't there before, so older versions of the cog don't have questions at all which is why it throws an error. And I need to figure out how to force the cog configuration to rewrite itself so it includes the questions parameter.

Answer 6 · 2021-02-23T09:43:31.000Z

Theoretically, it could be resolved by changing the config identifier???? But I also don't wanna fuck it up even more lol.

Answer 7 · 2021-02-23T09:54:52.000Z

Well iirc, if default config is updated, it should override the current settings of the cog they have installed. Changing the identifier would probably reset everything for all guilds/users when they update the cog, so kinda a tricky situation

Answer 8 · 2021-02-23T10:05:53.000Z

Nvm, it seems that it is just having trouble getting the individual questions from the question list. This means [p]setapply questions is saving them incorrectly...

Answer 9 · 2021-02-23T10:16:40.000Z

Yep, I was trying same_context check and didn't realize it worked differently than valid_int, so [p]setapply questions was saving None instead of the questions (credit to Jackenmen for figuring it out). Should be fixed and working now!

Answer 10 · 2021-02-23T11:44:48.000Z

Awesome stuff, glad it's working for ya

Answer 11 · 2021-02-23T17:00:48.000Z

it still seems to error. i tried reinstalling the cog as well.

Oh yeah, that is because you did [p]setapply questions before I fixed it. I forgot that was still there, sorry. I'll push a quick fix to that asap.

Should be HOPEFULLY fixed now.

that's weird. i tried reinstalling already but still doesn't work though. is there a way to like clear everything for the cog? like a reset or something. maybe then it will work

Answer 22 · 2021-02-24T10:41:27.000Z

You could unload the cog, delete the settings.json file, then load the cog, so a new settings.json would be created.

To do this: do [p]paths and copy the first Install Path but only before CogManager and then add Application to it (so for me, it's /home/elijabesu/.local/share/Red-DiscordBot/data/SauriBot/cogs/Application), then delete settings.json from the folder.
