Discord's new support for slash commands | AttributeError with discord-py-slash-command

Is there any official support for the new Discord slash commands; if not, how do you use the discord-py-slash-command module as I couldn't get that to work

I've been spending a while trying to work out how to use the new slash commands and I couldn't find Discord saying how to use it on discord.py.

After a bit of searching I've found a module called discord-py-slash-command but I couldn't figure out how to use this either.

When I tried to implement it into the main code of my bot nothing happened, so I tried to just run the example they showed on their website here (The top example) without modifying it and that also didn't work, and return this error message:

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "/snap/pycharm-community/224/plugins/python-ce/helpers/pydev/pydevd.py", line 2167, in <module>
    main()
  File "/snap/pycharm-community/224/plugins/python-ce/helpers/pydev/pydevd.py", line 2034, in main
    debugger = PyDB()
  File "/snap/pycharm-community/224/plugins/python-ce/helpers/pydev/pydevd.py", line 407, in __init__
    self._cmd_queue = defaultdict(_queue.Queue)  # Key is thread id or '*', value is Queue
AttributeError: module 'queue' has no attribute 'Queue'

Process finished with exit code 1

Here's my copy and pasted code from their example:

import discord
from discord.ext import commands
from discord_slash import SlashCommand
from discord_slash import SlashContext

bot = commands.Bot(command_prefix="!", intents=discord.Intents.all())
slash = SlashCommand(bot)


@slash.slash(name="test")
async def _test(ctx: SlashContext):
    embed = discord.Embed(title="embed test")
    await ctx.send(content="test", embeds=[embed])




bot.run(".token.txt")

I've recently been building a bot with discord-py-slash-command. I've figured out that the best way to make a command would be to read their documentation (below).

With your command, what I notice first that I haven't used is ctx: SlashContext, instead, try using just ctx. Your script is also probably you used Embeds=[embed], and I am not sure how multiple embeds would work, but for a single one, embed= is lowercase. I'm pretty sure you don't need the content=''.

The errors seems to be coming from pycharm and not the script itself, maybe try another IDE.

Documentation: https://discord-py-slash-command.readthedocs.io/en/latest/

Option Types (I found this really useful): https://discord-py-slash-command.readthedocs.io/en/latest/discord_slash.model.html?highlight=USER#discord_slash.model.SlashCommandOptionType.USER

My discord is _stefthedoggo#1698, DM me if you want more help, I have a working bot running solely on discord-py-slash-commands

I'm not very qualified with discord-py-slash-command but as far as I know, you have to pass some arguments in @slash.slash() such as description etc.

guild_ids = [<your guild id>]
slash = SlashCommand(bot, auto_register=True)
@slash.slash(
    name="ttest",
    description="Sends message.",
    guild_ids=guild_ids
)
async def _test(ctx: SlashContext):
    embed = discord.Embed(title="embed test")
    await ctx.send(content='test', embeds=[embed])

This will work but I don't recommend you to use this module until it's references became more clear. It's so unclear and unhandy also it's syntax is so complicated compared to discord.py.

Also, you have to enable applications.commands scope from Discord Developer Portal -> OAuth2 -> Scopes.
